Not Just a 'Ribbon' - Reebonz

by Cynthia Lee

This is going to be a month of luxury! I will be sharing some very 'affordably pricey' goodness that we girls almost cannot live without - luxury bags.
Let's just call them luxury bags as they have a price tag which is way further than that of a Vincci or those that you often check out at GlossyAddiction. I never like to label them as 'branded bag' because every brand is still a brand regardless of you being able to recognise that brand or not.

It's every girls' dream to own at least 1 or 2 of these luxury bags in their wardrobe.
There could be many reasons of wanting one which is a very personal thought. I have never wanted one in my 34 years of living till recently =D

This November, mark your calendars for Reebonz’s highly anticipated online sale event —Black Friday Fest (‘BFF’). From 24 – 30 November, Reebonz offers a series of enticing gift shops and top designer picks with attractive promotions throughout the week.

Apart from the daily gift shops brimming with carefully selected picks from Reebonz, one can expect site-buster sale events and further promotions which is worth checking out.

Love, Bonito Launch + Fashion Show!

By Wei Ni (Guest Blogger)

Isn't it strange how things kinda come together randomly, all at once? :)

I was invited by Cynthia (guest blogger on YSK & in charge of most things!) to attend Harith Iskander's 'To Know Malaysia is to Laugh Malaysia!' launch event on a fine Saturday afternoon, only to meet with Joyce (Kinky Blue Fairy) for the very first time & to be invited to the launch of Love, Bonito's store in Publika which she emceed for! :)

A little about Love, Bonito. 

They're the pioneering online fashion retail label in Singapore. Driven by a shared passion to empower women through style, Love, Bonito has earned a reputation for expertly striking a balance between style and affordability. Having emerged onto Singapore’s online fashion retail scene in 2006 as a humble blog shop, Love, Bonito has since been showered with accolades of awards ranging from “Best Blog Shop” at the Asia Pacific Blog Awards in 2009, to the coveted SME Asia Award 2013/2014 awarded by The Asian Business Journal and The Trade and Industry Association.

Now those are quite a bunch of hefty achievements aren't they! 

The two founders, Rachel & Viola respectively. 

In their retail space in Publika. It's a lovely little clean & cozy nook, so be sure to check it out! 

In conjunction with the launch of their store in Publika, Love, Bonito also took to opportunity to create a capsule collection with the ever popular blogger, Cheesie of Cheeserland! 

From left: Rachel, Cheesie & Viola. 

This fashion show is a special treat for all us Malaysians, as all of Cheesie's 8 delightful Autumn pieces will be debuted in their pop-up store in Publika before being officially launched on the Love, Bonito website! We've also been informed that once a design is sold out, they will not be remaking it anymore so you can be assured that you'll be one of the lucky few who managed to snag that piece! 

Two of my favourite looks from Cheesie x Love, Bonito collection! I love the monochromatic tropical inspired prints! They work perfectly with Fall & doesn't help that I am going through a totally monochromatic phase. ;) 

Here are a couple of pieces from Love, Bonito's main collection that I am currently loving! 

Crop tops & midi skirts! They're all the rage, so get on board already! ;) 

Flirty short lengths! 

A gorgeous side split chiffon dress with a half back cut out! This dress is moving FAST both on Love, Bonito's website and their retail space. Four people in a wedding have been spotted in this dress in various shades! :O 

Chillin' before the show. :)

Wearing Peep's Carla Cutout Crop Top in Black. 

Left: With Amber Chia! She's wearing the gorgeous half backless slit dress that I wanted. So I went back to buy it. :P

Right: With Joyce! Thanks for the invite & totally digging her outfit. All from Love, Bonito btw! 

Tried to look for that top only to find out it's sold out in my size already! 

Our lovely emcee for the night! Totally adorable & I thought she did a great job! :) 

It is an amazing & wonderful story of how a small Singaporean blog shop managed to grow into such a huge fashion label!

Last year itself, Love, Bonito closed the FIDé Fashion Week 2013 with her exclusive ready-to-wear collection in collaboration with Parisian haute couturier, Julien Fournié, propelling the online brand to international fashion label status.

For this year, Kuala Lumpur is the first stop in Love, Bonito’s greater journey to empower women throughout the Southeast Asian region through sharing their passion for style.

Aside from the main Love, Bonito line, the online retail giant offers a wholesome range of apparel under 6 house labels to cater to every woman’s need, style and occasion. The labels include Basics by Love, Bonito, Covet by Love, Bonito, Swimwear, Petite, Bridesmaids and soon to be launched Maternity line. There simply is just something for everyone!

With sizes ranging from XS-L you're sure to find something that fits & looks good on you! Be sure to hit up their store in Publika to check out all the sizes before embarking on a frenzy online shopping spree on their website! Not all of their items online are available in the stores, so be sure to check them out in Publika first & do try out a couple of Cheesie x Love, Bonito's collection! I'm loving the tropical monochromatic prints!

At the moment, their pop-up store in Publika doesn't accept credit cards payment yet, so be sure to come ready with cash. Prices are from RM50 - RM150.

And finally, my full Outfit of the Day! :)

Told ya I was going through a monochromatic phase and also working the sulky look, since I was all dressed up in black. :) 

Top: Peep's Carla Cutout Crop Top

Skirt: Peep's Rachel Slit Midi Skirt

Harith Iskander: To Know Malaysia is to Laugh Malaysia!

By Wei Ni (Guest Blogger)

What with the recent tragedies that have been hitting Malaysia hard this year, we realise that as a nation we need to stick together and be strong together. Which is exactly what the Godfather of Stand-Up Comedy in Malaysia, Harith Iskander is trying to do! In the aim to thoroughly spread the '1Malaysia' spirit, Harith is working hard with 2 astounding stand-up comedians this month to bring together all Malaysians by uniting them with a single, simple show... of laughter!

The upcoming show which will be held at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil is aptly titled 'Harith Iskander: To Know Malaysia is to Laugh Malaysia!'. 

This amazing show promises to be the biggest night of stand-up comedy in Malaysia! A show that will feature an amazing range of stand-up comedians both locally & internationally! Harith promises to deliver a range of carefully crafted, punny, brand spanking new material on the faithful 29th of Oct to throw the audience off their seats in laughter!

“Synonymous to the government’s effort of promoting brotherhood and camaraderie amongst fellow Malaysians, my vision for Malaysians is to come together for one night under one roof to display the strength of who we are and what we stand for as Malaysians - Unity, Moderation and Oneness. It’s time for Malaysians to turn DISTRESS into DE-stress,” says Harith.

On Saturday, 11th of October 2014, we were graciously invited by Harith's team to have a chilled out, Q&A session at the cool No.11 Espressolab in Sunway Damansara to find out more about their upcoming comedic concert!

The Espressolab space is a lovely spacious warehouse with high ceilings and you'll definitely be getting your caffeine fix there! 

Harith Iskander together with Dr. Jason Leong (the opening act for 'To Know Malaysia is to Laugh Malaysia!' were there to knock our socks off with their witty one-liners and hilarious anecdotes!  

Like umm, can I look anymore awkward standing there. 

Wearing Peep's Carley Cut In Crop Top & Ainsley Abstract Midi Skirt. 

Joining in the effort of uniting Malaysians through laughter are also big hearted Malaysian corporations that have stepped up to support this event under the LAUGH MALAYSIA Umbrella namely Celcom First, Sime Darby Foundation, Seremban 2, MTT Priority and Pemandu.

To make the show even more meaningful, percentage of profits from ticket sales will be channelled to OrphanCARE, a charitable NGO that strives to place abandoned children in homes with loving families.

Because I just enjoy capturing them doing awkward hand gestures. :D

Jointly produced by Harith Iskander V Day Productions & AMC Live Group, in partnership with Perbadanan Stadium Malaysia, ‘Laugh Malaysia’ promises a night of rip-roaring laughter to its audience. ‘To know Malaysia is to LAUGH MALAYSIA’ will also feature one of the best of the new crop of Malaysian comedian’s, Dr Jason Leong, as well as special guest Papa CJ – one of India’s most influential comedians.

It was a thoroughly entertaining event with delicious food from Burger Junkyard & divine coffee graciously provided by Espressolab. :)

We left the place with a full tummy and a fantastic show to look out for at the end of this month! It's gonna be HUGE! 

What better way to spend your hump day by having a good hearty laugh at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil with three fantastic comics and all for a good cause! Come together with all your fellow Malaysians on the 29th of October to chill out, hang out & be tickled silly!

Can you just imagine what a joyous sound it would be to hear a stadium filled to the brim with 9000 Malaysians getting together and laughing out loud! Truly the best way to get to know each other better is by laughing & never taking each other too seriously. :)
