Kate Middleton’s Fashion

Recently the Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to India with the Duke of Cambridge Prince William. The fashion world went into a frenzy after photos of the duchess emerged.   I must say that she has such a great fashion style. Besides clothes by Anna Sui, Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham, the Duchess wore clothes by famous Indian designer as well.    I love her effortlessly chic style.  I was so impressed with her when she demonstrated her ukulele skill during a hospice visit last year that I went to check out the guitar center ukelele tuner.   She is inspirational.

Jennifer Lopez At Golden Globe Award 2016

Capes are one of the hottest trend since last year. They are classy and chic, and so fun to wear. Definitely one of my favourite trend. Cape coat is great in the Fall and Winter. Pair it with leggings or skinny jeans for an effortless look. Check out Jennifer Lopez’s mustard caped gown at the Golden Globe Award 2016. Ain’t it stunning?  It is a Giambattista Valli Fall/Winter 2015 couture collection.

Why I Watch Award Shows

Many people watch award shows because it is always exciting to see who wins.  I am one of those who just love to see what the celebrities are wearing.  Although you may not like the celebrities, you cannot deny that some of them really wear some amazing clothes, especially the women.  All those fancy gowns and dresses are beautiful.  Not to mention the exquisite jewelry accompanying the outfits.  I love admiring them when the celebrities were interviewed at the red carpet during the pre-show.  It is very fun to see the unique and elaborate clothes that they are wearing and which designers made them.  Since these celebrities take time to choose an outfit, pair it with the right jewelry and hairstyles as well as makeup, they would want to be seen by as many people as possible.

It is not so much about which designers designed the gowns, it is more like what they are wearing to the shows.   The recent 67th Primetime 2015 Emmy awards red carpet brought out the biggest names in television and it was a star-studded night at the Microsoft Theater.  This award show was full of bold fashion choices.   There were many in black formal dresses such as Taraji P Henson, Amy Poehler,  Julie Bowen and many more.  My favourite were celebrities in red and white gowns such as Louise Roe who wore a simple white toga gown and Giuliana Rancic in a stunning long sleeveless gown.  There were a few stunning gowns in blazing tones like fuschia and pink.  If you are looking for beautiful gowns to wear this holiday season, do check out Formaldressaustralia.

Victoria Beckham At The Glamour Awards 2015

Did you all watch the recent American Glamour Awards show?   It was held at the world-famous Carnegie Hall last Monday.   I saw so many beautiful women at the red carpet, all donning glamourous Long Formal Dresses.  Some of the recipients of the Glamour Awards were Reese Witherspoon who was honoured for co-founding the Pacific Standard production company that creates films with female protagonists.  I really enjoyed watching this show because of Victoria Beckham who was also recognized for her career as a fashion designer and work as an international goodwill ambassador for UNAIDS and other philanthropy works.

Victoria Beckham attended this glitzy event with his 16-year-old son, Brooklyn.  The handsome teen looked dapper standing next to his beautiful mother who wore a strappy red gown.  Just recently, Victoria brought her two younger sons, Romeo and Cruz to a Burberry event in London and a week later, she showed up at Glamour Awards with her eldest son.  Back in 2013, Victoria brought Brooklyn Beckham as her date to the British Glamour Awards and boy, he has grown so much since then.  Brooklyn went to the stage to present a trophy to his mom and both of them shared an adorable hug.

Brooklyn said his mom, “I’m so proud of you, and I’m so happy to be here tonight. I love you,”.  It was such a heartwarming scene.  The former Spice Girl took to the stage in her lovely red dress and thanked her family.  She credited her pop star past for making her what she is today.

Style Icon – Jennifer Lopez

I love seeing Jennifer Lopez in the fashion magazines or her music videos.  She is always so sophisticated and well-groomed.   She is so beautiful and is always being featured in the magazines.  The stunning star is always fearless when it comes to fashion.  She knows what looks good on her curvy figure and she can carry different styles effortlessly.  Whether it is streetwear or haute couture sexy evening dresses, J.Lo always fits the image.

The very first time when I saw Jennifer Lopez in her green Versace dress which she wore to the 42nd Grammy Awards in 2000 made my jaw dropped.  It was a sheer silk chiffon dress printed with tropical leaf and bamboo patterns. Do you remember The Dress?    It has a low-cut neck which extended several inches below her navel, loosely fastened with a brooch and then opened out again, exposing her midriff.  Jennifer Lopez wore a pair of nude-tone shorts and it was revealed that she kept the dress on by using double-sided fashion tape.

This dress got everyone talking about it for a long time.  This high-profile dress was designed by Donatella Versace and it became the dress of the year.  This gown is by far her boldest and most iconic look.  15 years on after she has worn it, the dress is still associated with her and Versace.

With a successful dance and pop music career, this 40 something year old mother of twins certainly is a proof that styles get better with age.  Some of my favourite J.Lo’s looks on the red carpet are the long black toga dress at the Grammy, sheer chiffon red gown at the Billboard Award and sexy nude lace dress at the Golden Globe Award just like the mermaid evening dresses of ihomecoming.

She just has the most amazing sense of style.  As women, I believe we should all embrace her attitude on fashion which radiates confidence.

Watch Growing Through Life Online

drama

Growing Through Life is the TVB Drama that I am watching currently.  This modern series drama replaces A Pillow Case of Mysteries II.  Do you know why I enjoy watching it?  Well, it has been a while since I’ve watched a drama starring Cecilia Yip. She is one of my favourite actresses and a very talented one.  This 30-episode drama was filmed in Shanghai and Hong Kong.  This drama also features actors and actresses from China.  I haven’t heard of them before though but I really like Damian Lau, Bosco Wong and Raymond Lau.  I have watched 10 episodes so far.  Below is the synopsis.

Synopsis:
Hoi Sing and his mother, Ho Wai Sum run a home appliance manufacturing factory. Hoi Sing’s uncle, Hoi Leung wants to acquire their business at all costs. Leung is money minded snob who doesn’t place much interest in family ties. Leung’s wife, Cheng Ming Chu and daughter, Hoi Mei Sze try hard to help Leung mend ties with Sing and eventually succeed when they manage to convince Leung to put the acquisition of the business on hold.

Leung wishes to own the land of which the factory sits on and plants a spy, Fong Lai King in Sing’s factory. To help her son and convince Leung to give up on acquiring their business, Wai Sum reveals to Leung a long-kept secret. To strengthen their business, Sing invites his friend, Chung Lam Tai to work with him.

Unfortunately for Sing, Lam Tai betrays him and sided with Leung. To add salt to the wound, Sing’s fiencee, Chuk Yiu Kwan calles off their wedding. These unfortunate events indirectly forced Sing to be even more determined; forcing him to use bolder strategies and tactics against his family member.

Watch Beauty Knows No Pain Online

My cousin called me up last night to inform me that her daughter is looking for a good medical assisting school because she is interested in pursuing education in the field of allied health.  Then our conversation went to the latest TVB drama which she is watching now.  My cousin said she is now watching Beauty Knows No Pain.  I am very looking forward to watching this 20-episode TVB drama.  Beauty Knows No Pain replaces When Lane Merge.  It stars some of my favourite actresses such as Michelle Yim, Maggie Cheung and Joyce Tang Lai Ming.  Oh, the actors are Joe Ma Tak Chung and Dominic Lam Ka Wah.   It was during the filming of Beauty Knows No Pain that Michelle’s boyfriend, Wan Chi Keung passed away from cancer.  Tragic.

Synopsis

WONG HOI KING (Michelle Yim) is successful in both career and love life. However, she accidentally discovers that her husband CHIN KWONG LUNG (Dominic Lam) is committing adultery. In order to maintain the relationship, KING is willing to take the risk of getting pregnant despite her high age. Pregnancy has imposed great pressure on her daily life as well as her career. Her aggressive subordinate SA YUEN KEI (Maggie Cheung) therefore seizes the chance to take up her duties. KEI is a bold and decisive person at work but she is caught in a quadrangular relationship by falling in love with the married man KO CHI LIK (Joe Ma).

Discouraged by the relationship failures of her bosses, secretary YU MAN YAU (Joyce Tang) further loses her confidence. YAU always has a sense of inferiority because of her “outstanding” body shape. Encouraged by her colleague CHI NAM (Power Chan), YAU decides to boost her self-esteem by getting plastic surgery. She immediately becomes the sexiest goddess on the Internet and the hottest brand spokesperson in town. After getting famous and rich, YAU suddenly realizes that this is not what she really wants…

Watch Sex And The City 2 Online

I was browsing www.prenatalvitamins.org when my friend called and told me that she just watch Sex And The City 2 online.  Arrgghhh…I so hate her!  I haven’t watched it yet though this movie was released last week.  Was supposed to get together with a few friends and watch it but some of us were busy.  I loved Part 1 and and I can’t wait to watch Part 2.  I want to see all those fabulous clothes and shoes on the girls.  I also want to know how is married life for Carrie and Mr. Big.  Who is this Aidan?  What about you? Have you watched the Fab Four?  If my friends can’t make it, I’m going to watch Sex And The City 2 all by myself, with some popcorns 😉
