What I can see nowdays, Fashion for Men is getting more and more hotter on the runway. That is a good respond not only Women have their own season trends. I quite excited to see the trends with different cut and shapes. Photos above: Valentino Men's Collection (Attn: I'm sorry, If I mention the wrong brand) was my top pick/style for working attire. Most of the style are in my dictionary. A real modern guy who really care about his appearance, of course will know what to wear and NOT. For me, keep it simple and sharp is the best.

Picture 1: Hello Simple Suit - Wear this on Monday. All of us know that blues will struck when comes on Monday. But Monday also an important day, guys we need to show confident and sober infront our bosses. We all know that there will be a wild and fun on the weekend. Simple classic suit is a MUST in your wardrobe. It may help you when you not in the mood for style. You just wear it and hit to the office.

Picture 2: Modern Love Classic Suit - Tuesday Mood. Get a more serious look with classy touch. What I really love about this suit is the cut. I like the side by side buttons and the length just nice. Plus,I adore the fabric. This suit appropriate from day in the office and night to attend a cocktail party. Stylish and macho; Suitable for a working modern guy. [One of my favorite look]

Picture 3: Stay Sleek & Relax - Wednesday Kick. Maybe you something more relax but still look appropriate for office. Try this style. But be careful. If you in a corporate field or relate, pick a plain white button-in shirt and rock your look. For those love style but want to keep it low. This is another way you can dress-up smart but casual. [One of my favorite look]

Picture 4: Neat & Straight - Thursday Steady. Thursday is the starting point when everybody cannot wait the week come to it end. Hello, Entertainment! BUT, working days still on. Maybe few of you want to dress-up casual still appropriate for office attire. This look is the best look for you. Turtle neck shirt with chic cardigan is a perfect combo.

Picture 5 & 6: Yeahhh,Weekend! - Fresh Friday & Cool Saturday. Get it loose guys! It's weekend. Try this two look. I suggest (for option) get a great black/dark brown leather jacket to complete your look (picture 6)

NEW BABY: White Valentino Rudy Shoes!

Valentino Rudy Shoes in White colour

I just hate whenever SALES season come. There my naughty eyes searching good stuffs with good discounts.

It suppose that next week I will be in Kuala Lumpur to attend a big event. I should shop there; maybe will I found good shoes far much more better than here in Kota Kinabalu.

It was a long story..I cut it short. Last saturday, I suppose to take my perfume at CHANEL cosmetic outlet in Suria Sabah. Sadly, the person that I always deal with was not there. Then, I decided to take a look at Men Department. My naughty eyes straightly to shoes rack. But..It was quite so-so. Only two brands catch my eyes that particural time. I take a look this beautiful white shoe by Valentino Rudy. Simply my taste and one of my favorite colour too. The shape and structure of the shoe really suit for me. Modern meet Classic, perfect combo! 

Now, It's officially MINE.

SHARING MOMENT: THE DAY of 090711

The day of 090711

I just DON'T want to touch any sensitive issues. It just I want to expressed how I disappointed and very sad what happen on that day as a caring and normal citizen. I did do little bit of praying and hoping for the better situation. Maybe after seeing all this situation; God wants the nation to learn something about it. Quite sad to see all the drivers that stuck in this heavy traffic have to take their breakfast in the car and get late to their workplace. But I do THANKFUL with our goverment and police department handle it very well. Yes, we do need the roadblock and police spotcheck to PREVENT any problems on that day become worst. I do understand people that stuck in that day traffic have to cancelled their appointment or going to work. Well, everyone experience it too including me. I really hope theres NO MORE serious issues in future. I love my country and peace.

EDUCAT_GLAMZONE: Ohhh..where is my dictionary?

It is my dream to involve and be in the fashion industry. I can said that my great grandparents; good from my late father's side or from my mother's side are a fashion lover. Most in their photos they really dress-up very well and very tailored. Fashion is flows into my blood. My late grandma able to sew her own dresses including my late father's daily wear. From my mother's side,theres my grandma is a Kebaya Maker and quite famous Fashionista in her era. Even my own parents is a Fashion Lover. I don't blame myself why I so in love with Fashion..everything related with ART. Its been a great honour, I'm back to the fashion scene. Still crawling after ups and downs. I'm here but still in a learning process. I do not claim myself so amazing, famous and know everything about Fashion. I'm a great LEARNER and every second we need to learn new thing in our life.

Attention: I hope theres NO hurts feeling with this particular blog. I want say here strictly and clearly. No names and personal problems involves. This topic is GENERAL. I will write based on what I and others experienced.

It is a long time I want to share the truth in fashion world. Maybe this blog will be the 1st part. I would like to ask all of you. What is the true meaning a Fashionista/Fashionisto, a Stylista/Stylisto or a Socialite/Socialito? For me, all of them hail to one force; that is FASHION.

Fashion, what do you understand about it? I guess all of you have your own ideas or thoughts about it. I can said that, fashion is a platform where you can see,touch and show it. Fashion in another meaning; the way a person dressing-up and expressing their mood. Fashion is too SUBJECTIVE. It is a big word to explain into pieces. For me, Fashion is a history and the true persona in each person. Why? Fashion trends is keep on changing but still recycling again and again the same vibes and cuts. From fashion, we can learn the inner beauty and amazing stories in each designs or sewing techniques or HISTORY behind it. Yes, we do can relate it. Example: my grandma is a former kebaya maker. You need to understand the history and techniques then you can create something that can amazed your clients.

Fashionista/Fashionisto. Actually, theres no term for Fashionista in the dictionary. I realized this word when I started as partime fashion stylist and illustrator back in 2007 - 2008. Not all know what is the real meaning of a Fashionista/Fashionisto. Most of people easily called a person with the term of fashionista just because she or he looks very current with fashion. That is not the true meaning of a Fashionista/Fashionisto. In my dictionary and what I have observed. Fashionista/Fashionisto is a person who look very stylish and trendy. They may look different in style some which more to classic mixed with modern and some may look very funky and bubbly. The best thing about this circle; they know how to dress-up from expensive until cheap pieces into a great style. Most of them devote their daily life with clothing, shoes...everything you named it as long its related with FASHION. One more thing about a real Fashionista/Fashionisto, They don't believe in trend. Mark it into your brain. I hope you can see the differences between a Fashionista or just a person who love Fashion.

Stylista/Stylisto. What is a Stylista/Stylisto? Who? It comes from the term of Style. Style is an expression and variation on the way a person clothing. Same like the above term theres no proper meaning of Stylista/Stylisto. I say it through what I observed and experienced. A Stylista/Stylisto is someone who can create a beautiful creation or become the one knows and predict what will be the next trends. Most of Stylista is a Fashion Designer, Fashion Editor/Writer and Top Stylist. They're the one who sitting at the front row when Fashion Week comes. Be in the group, you need to be well-educated and have good experiences all about Fashion Industry.

Socialite/Socialito. Socialite/Socialite come from the word social. A person that always socializing. A Socialite/Socialito are the privileged ones. They born in the well-known family background, much easier everyone called them trust fund babies. They were the one own designer's stuffs, latest collection and they even can get specially made ONLY for them. Most of Socialite/Socialito appear in many private parties or non-profit events. I have few Socialite and Socialito friends, they are very caring and love to help others (giving back to the public). Involving in any good cause charities is a MUST for them. Yes, I do understand few of them hit the clubs every night but they do have their own JOB. In the Fashion Industry, a Socialite hold big important role. They the one who can help to promote the designer brands. Even, most of them collaboration with designers to come out something new for their fans. It is because they are the public and the crowd-maker. Eye-catcher hunger wants to know what brand are they wearing/using. One thing that special about Socialite/Socialito, they always appear either in public or at private parties look very glamorous and up scale. I wish I can be one of them..but I thank you God giving what I have now. I perfect to be simple and free. I hope with this information will help all of you that still not even have a clue what the real meaning a hit with the term.
