Meet Ariel Lin with Kosé Save The Blue Project!

I am really excited to be one of the bloggers to try out the Kosé SEKKISEI range of products. I've been using the products for about 2 weeks now and I will be sharing with y'all what I think about them in the second Kosé post. 

Today, I want to tell you about the Save The Blue Project by Kosé. It's an environmental initiative by them to protect the world's fast depleting coral reefs. This initiative began with the coral reefs off the Japanese island of Okinawa (one of the top diving sites in the world) and is now in Singapore. 

From 1 June 2012 to 31 July 2012, every purchase of Save The Blue Limited Edition SEKKISEI Lotion and/or SEKKISEI Travel Set, Kosé will donate part of the proceeds to the research, education and conservation efforts of Singapore's coral reefs. (yes, we do have coral reefs in Singapore)

If you are a fan of Ariel Lin, listen up! Kosé will be having a roadshow at Tampines Mall's Atrium and Ariel Lin, as the new SEKKISEI Brand Ambassador, will be there to meet her fans! Not only that, you will also stand a chance to win attractive Kosé products! Mediacorp host, Lee Teng will be the emcee for the event. 

Details

June 2 & 3, Tampines Mall Atrium from 3pm to 5 pm

Mark your calendars and see you there! :)

Feature: Klozzit

You might be thinking, oh just another one of those online shops that brings in Taiwan/Korean inspired designs. Well, you are not entirely wrong but you know what sets one apart from the rest? The quality of the clothes. I have seen too many of these kinda shops that bring in pretty designs at super affordable prices but the catch? They are buy-and-throw-away pieces. And you certainly do not want that. If you want buy-and-throw-away pieces, don't get them online. You can find cheaper ones at night markets. 

But if you love such designs, do not have time to shop at brick and mortar stores and wouldn't fancy buy-and-throw away pieces, Klozzit might just be what you are looking for.

Now, I love knits. I know we live in Singapore where it's hot and humid almost every single day but I can't help it. I adore knits. I have a drawer full of them. So whenever I wake up to find that it's a cool (not cold, the temperature in Singapore will never be low enough to be deemed as cold), rainy morning *sprinkles confetti* I will head straight for my drawer full of knitwear. 

Okayyy back to Klozzit. They have quite a good selection of dresses and blouses. And quite a fair bit of them can bring out the um, sensual charm of a woman. Take this one for example:

I really like it. I was pretty much sold by the colour and then how the cut makes the wearer look sophisticated (as its name aptly suggests). But then, I saw the back...

 Yeahhhh, so I got to give this a miss. (but if you like it, click here to get it!) Sexy back, ain't it?

If you were wondering why I brought up my love for knits, here's why. Because I found a knit dress haha. 

So yes I chose this and here's how it looks like on me (in a few styles):


Here's how it looks like on its own.

It has adorable little pockets.

You can also give it a little more shape by wearing a belt.

And if you are travelling to cooler countries or if somehow, by any chance Singapore actually gets cool enough for a scarf along with a knit dress then yeah you could wear it like this.

And there's no way you can wear it like that in Singapore, no way. Layering is a good way to amp up your style factor so layer your outfit when you get the chance! I wore a floral printed shirt underneath the knit dress for this. Of course, you can wear it with tights or leggings.

There are more ways you can wear/style this knit dress and that's what makes it a really good buy!

P.S: Thank you Klozzit for this highly versatile knit dress. :)

The Avengers at GV Jurong Point (Grand Re-Opening)

Whoop yes I've watched The Avengers and it was brilliant! I was thinking of waiting a few weeks after the movie opens before watching but thanks to OMY.sg and GV Jurong Point, I got to watch it on the opening day, 1 May! I didn't even mind heading to the other end of the island just to watch it hahaha. 

I think I need to dye my hair soon or something (prolly chopping a few inches off too), it's getting pretty obvious now and even more obvious when I do my shoots because of the studio's harsh lighting. 

Above with Hui Jin whom I met when I was a reporter for YOG. I didn't know she too was a blogger with OMY until I met her last week to catch up haha. The post about that coming up soon!

And I ran into Alexis whom I met at the Food Republic 112 Katong Event that I blogged about a few posts back.

The next two pictures were taken from Hui Jin haha. 

Soon, it was almost time to enter the cinema.


But before I show your how the interior of the cinema now looks like, here are some shots of the exterior. (Images courtesy of Golden Village)




And now, the interior.


But the movie won't start until the lovable Auntie Lucy arrives. Here's a shot of her with all the bloggers who attended the event. Don't think you will be able to spot me cos even I can't spot myself haha, I sat at the very last row.


After the movie ended, I was interviewed by OMY about my thoughts on the newly furbished GV Jurong Point, which includes:

 1) Wider leg room

2) Stadium seating with clear sightlines

3) 7.1 Dolby Sound

4)Latest EAW speakers

5) All Digital screens

And to celebrate the re-opening of GV Jurong Point, they are rolling some very special offers/treats for you!

The promotion will end on 23 May 2012 so spread the word around! I had the $2 for 2 Cheesy Hotdog offer that day. Honestly, these offers are pretty rad! I am looking at the offers on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays haha.

So if you haven't caught The Avengers yet (I don't think I need to say much about the movie, just look at all the hype and positive reviews surrounding it!), why not catch it at the newly refurbished GV Jurong Point and take advantage of the awesome offers they have for you! :)
