Weekend Shopping: ZARA Sale & Fleatique

Initially, I was supposed to blog this yesterday. But, Fash-E was facing some techy difficulties (so annoying!) and here I am, blogging 24 hours late. As you’ve heard, ZARA sale is on since Thursday. I didn’t snag anything – it’s like a warzone at the Liat Tower outlet. My boy managed to grab a red bomber jacket and a work shirt. The boys’ section is not as crazy as the ladies. I don’t think the sale is that good, just wait for everything to be picked over and then hunt for the hidden gems. Just kidding.

Flea-tique is back! I know, it’s prolly happening right now as I’m blogging. The weather is really hot outside. I won’t be checking it out later. WHY? I’m going to the Singapore Toy and Comic Convention! YES! Tofu-Oyako! Tokidoki! Devilrobots! I’m THERE! Then, I’ve a birthday party to attend. Photos! I promise 😉

‘Sex and the City’ Gala Premiere @Vivocity

Ta-dah! Yours truly was at the ‘Sex and the City’ Gala Premiere last night at Vivocity. I brought my boy along (well, it’s hard to bring your girlfriend because the rest will be jealous!) who is not a SATC fan and he prolly has seen one episode like… ever. So, this would be a good time to introduced our favourite “girlfriends” to him – Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.

That’s me in floral glory! It’s summer (unfortunately, it was raining yesterday) and I deserve to wear summer dresses! I couldn’t wear heels yesterday because I had to work (doh) and rush to class and then to Vivocity for dinner with mum before sending her off.  Yeah, mum went home yesterday night.

It’s a private event! Warner Bros booked the entire cinema for the night. They’re really promoting SATC to every single, attached or married women from 20 to 40 years old.

The running text above says “Welcome to “Sex & the City” Gala Premiere”. Woo!

NOW SHOWING: SEX AND THE CITY – Yes, we get the picture.

Filming crew! Ooh, I miss production life – in a way. I’m not sure who they’re shooting for – HBO? Channel News Asia? I don’t know.

Singapore celebrities, Pierre Png and Andrea de Cruz. I wonder why she needs to take slimming pills and risk her life to gain her ideal weight. To me, she looks perfectly fine! She’s even skinnier than the magazines.

FOOD! FOOD! Glorious food! We had dinner at Crystal Jade Dining In before popping by. Sigh.

Ooh, sexy back! Haha. Check out the decor on the table. The David Tutera in me is coming out!

The boy couldn’t resist more dessert from the buffet table. Cheesecakes and brownies, yum!

More cosmos and champagne! The boy isn’t comfortable with photos. That’s his just after work look with his Adidas backpack. My mum says he looks like a school kid. That’s me without makeup, hahaha.

Champagne! I didn’t have any. I would be drunk before the movie started. I was a good girl and I had a Coke Light instead.

This is the SATC Gala Premiere invite that has been sitting at my work desk for almost a week.

As I wait patiently for the movie, I decided to take a close up of my ZARA summer dress and pink patent flats. So here we are, listening to the SATC soundtrack and watching all these fabulously dressed people walking in and taking their seats. Ooh, lights dimmed… and we’re starting the show!

Dress: Floral summer dress by ZARA

Shoes: Pink Patent Flats by Mondo (only $9!)

VF’s Top Summer Trends We Love

High-waisted belt is one of the more prominent trend this season. This fabulous rainbow stripe belt from Forever21 is just perfect for the fun, happy look to pair off with that bold red dress. Totally chic!

Sailor stripes or anything nautical is in my chic ditionary. Also, hot off the shelfs are cropped denim jackets worn with pretty dresses. Above are our picks from the fabulous ZARA Summer ’06 collection.

Go boho with checked tops with chunky gold necklaces. And yes, denim shorts are in too. Yes, we can’t enough of stripe dresses, stripe whatever! Above are our picks from the fabulous ZARA Summer ’06 collection.

Big blouses with short white crop shorts are awesome for the Summer. Not to mention, long European-inspired long flowy dresses are for the beautiful people. Yes, more from the awesome ZARA Summer ’06 collection. I can’t help it, I just bought a pretty pink/white stripe wrap-around top from ZARA yesterday. Hee.

Black haunts us every season. Even in Summer. Shirt dress is one of my all-time fave style and that black piece just looks stunning. If it isn’t black, it’s white. This victorian style dress is another hot trend this summer. These are the gorgeous selection from MNG.
