Look Sexier in an Instant!

Want to look sexier ever than before? I want to share some tips from one of the articles in InStyle Mag on May 28, 2010.

1. Undo the button: l
oosen up a button-down just enough to reveal a delicate collarbone.








2. Wear anything with red.









3. Sport a pencil skirt.







4. Show your sexy leg.










5. Wear skinny ankle-length jeans.
A pair of cropped skinny jeans can be the key to going from all-American sweetie to sexy siren.








6. Try sparkles: shimmer all summer with small hits of
sequins or shining beads—a little dose of sparkle is an easy way to draw some eyes.









7. Bare your shoulders: shapely shoulders are
begging to be shown off.











8. Add a dash of leopard: wear a leo
pard-spotted shoe with a loose-fitting dress for an unexpectedly sexy look.











9. Throw on a leather jacket: the leather jacket h
as graduated from rebellious extra to wardrobe essential, but it still looks sassy when paired leg-baring separates.

Sex and the City 2

I bet that most of you are aware of this movie; Sex and the City 2, will soon be on theaters on May 27, 2010. As you know, this movie is not only about love and sex, but also about "Fashion". Each of the main characters on this movie has a very distinct style i.e:
  • Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is fearlessly fashionable: her style ranges from uptown chic to whimsy to sex kitten. Stilettos are a staple, and field mixes designer with flea market finds for Carrie's unique look.
  • Samantha (Kim Cattrall) wears sexy styles that exude confidence. She is a Woman (with a capital "W") and the message comes across loud and clear through strong styles and bold color.
  • Charlotte (Kristin Davis) has a sweet, preppy style that is always accompanied by the proper bag and shoes. Bows, cute prints and feminine styles play up the kind nature of her character.
  • Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) was portrait as a well-dressed career gal with chic corporate suits and androgynous styles.
All characters represent most women in America including you; so don't miss it and learn the style!

My 2nd Flat using Illustrator.

I still can't believe that I am actually using this software to make flats.The fact is that the more you use it, the more you fall into it. This software is so awesome and I can't wait to learn its world famous sibling, the Photoshop. Now, I want to continue what I have posted previously which was about Historical Research. My research for my current collections were influenced by 1947's-1950's era. In that era, it was all about full skirt, A-line silhouette, Y-line silhouette and H-line silhouette.



The collections that I made are for Fall 2010 and the signature colors are lipstick red, pink coral, blue lagoon, oyster gray. When I designed these collections, I got reminded of Marylin Monroe's red halter dress. It was a classic full skirt dress which became an inspiration for me.




Three of my designs were using flower embroidery and the other one were using bow on the hip area. I also used pleats, princess seam line, V-shaped collar and layered dress for these collections.
