Remembering Princess Diana ... Icon Of Fashion

Recently the topic very much in the news, especially in Britain, is of course the birth of the LITTLE PRINCE OF CAMBRIDGE ...   PRINCE GEORGE ALEXANDER LOUIS ...   first born of William and Kate, Duke & Duchess of Cambridge.


The wee one is supposed to generate much $$$$  and give a boost to the economy in the tourist trade ...  with souvenirs of every kind  imaginable being churned out to milk this for all it's worth !!!



Britons had thronged the streets near the hospital to have a first glimpse of the royal couple and their little baby prince ...








So it is mainly because of this that one of the sweetest, kindest souls came to my mind ...

Princess Diana, Princess of Wales  ...  and one of the greatest  fashion icons  of our time ......

She was not only beautiful outwardly  ... but had a beautiful kind soul to match ...  and the radiant smile that was always seen on her face showed genuine, true warmth and compassion  for those around her ...


Family was everything to her, and her two boys were her whole world  -
Just wondering how happy and proud she must be of her newest little addition .........

A Much Needed Respite !!!


We Have Been Having A Respite From The Dreaded Haze ......

At Least To More Breathable Levels !!!



Recently The Dreaded Haze Has Been More Contained ...And the PSI  Level has dropped drastically by a few notches ...

Along the way, there were a few stones thrown ... Some boulders hurled even ...  as CULPRITS  were being identified and held accountable !!!


Singapore was accused, quite unceremoniously at that,  of behaving like a child ...  as it was claimed that we were not entirely innocent of all this ...  Singapore it seemed,  also had companies stationed there that  were equally culpable !!!


It was only when the rest of the neighbouring countries became  equally affected  ( with PSI Levels dangerously rising at one stage  to 700 +   in a neighbouring country )  that Indonesia started to sit up and  take note ...

Apologies were officially made ... Promises to identify and punish companies ( no matter Foreign or Domestic  )  .......      so as to contain this Eco Fiasco  !!!


Now it seems there is a temporary ceasefire !!!
Everything back  to normal in the political stratoshpere  ... Very  much Hunky Dory And All That Jazz  !!!

Cooperation is definitely what is needed over here everyone !!!
No hurling of abuses or pointing that dreaded finger ... WHAT HO !!!


We are now breathing easier, though still not at optimum !!!
It has been raining sporadically off and on, as one RAIN DANCER after another is contracted to produce that much awaited downpour ...


Not much success  I'm afraid  ...
Probably like the general population, the rain clouds too have gone into hiding !!!


We need to PAY TALENT when talent is recognised !!! Hire the best if we need to !!!
Isn't that the political Singapore Mantra ???

Those Indian Braves of long ago really had the dance FINE-TUNED TO A  " T  " !!!
We should hire a few of those excellent dancers !!!
We need rain and we need it fast !!! LOTS OF IT !!!












Meantime, Fashion Faux Pas or not ... I will continue to go everwhere in my  RAIN DANCE OUTFIT .......
FEATHERS & ALL !!!!



JUST PLEASE DON'T LAUGH IF YOU SEE ME ON THE STREETS ... OR CALL THE PSYCHIATRIC HOTLINE !!!

It is purely DUE TO MY ALTRUISTIC NATURE that I am sacrificing all human dignity !!!


Until the next time ...
CIAO !!!

A Fine Line Between Comfort and Fashion Faux Pas


Out little island of Singapore, unlike Europe, America and other countries blessed with the changing of seasons has basically   THREE SEASONS ...

HOT... HOTTER ... AND ... HOTTEST !!!


If anyone knew everything and anything there is to know about our little red dot of a country ...

It's This ......

The whole of our little island is now suffering  from the pervasive pall of acrid smoke in the air ... from the yearly "" slash and burn "" cultivation of Indonesian farmers.


"" The Haze "" as we have come to know it,  has now become so much a part and parcel of our life that we have come to measure it by a " PSI  " LEVEL  ...

"" PSI ""  being  acronym for  "" Pollutant Standard Index ""


Have a view of what us poor souls are suffering from ...















Why am I writing about THE HAZE you may ask ???

It's just this ...

How is one supposed to dress in this blistering humid madness of the heat ???


For those who do not live in our part of the world, it is quite difficult to imagine how one can be felled by the blistering hot humidity !!! I know many a Caucasian who becomes a Sun Worshipper the moment Summer makes it's presence felt  ...   For us Singaporeans who have nothing much to look forward to besides SUN , SUN AND MORE SUN
( interspersed with occasional downpours ), it is really quite difficult to understand this pagan worship of the sun !!!  HAHAHA !!!


So ... Like I  said  ..
How does one dress in this blistering heat ... balancing a fine line between individual comfort and fashion faux pas !!!


I mean, personally ... if I had my way, I would be dressed in the skimpiest of clothes wherever I go ...
whether indoors or out ...
This would be the ultimate in individual cool comfort ... short of running around in one's birthday suit !!!
Sadly for me, I can't do that !!!


However, at the moment, truth be told, I doubt anyone cares just how we are dressed ...
even if we look like circus clowns walking the streets !!!


Our main concern for now is SURVIVAL ... as a thick pall of haze envelopes our whole atmosphere !!!
The very old and young are at risk ... and those with respiratory problems like asthma are really struggling so very hard to breathe !!!

I myself walk around like one with advanced emphysema ...  as breathing this foul air brings a bout of persistant, hacking cough that can actually fell you.


If any outsider should have the unfortunate experience of visiting our fair shores at the moment, they would
probably think that they landed in a WAR TORN ZONE ... after the bombs did their worst on us !!!


There is a thick blanket clouding the whole country ...
Our citizens are walking with masks around their faces that look more like muzzles on a rabid dog than
a Fashion Statement !!!

Fashion Faux Pas  ???    I DO BELIEVE BASICALLY NO ONE CARES FOR NOW !!!


Till My Next Blog ... Cheers !!!

( Unless I gave in to Emphysema and no longer walk this earth !!! )

My eZone Fashion Website

                                                                                                                                         
It is not often that I have a Light Bulb moment ...
I mean, it's not easy having a brainwave in this blistering climate ...
One is normally filled with lethargy and more towards Sloth than Skippy the Kangaroo !!!


However ...

I really do love the way my eZone Fashion Website has conceptualised.
It was really a LIGHT BULB moment, if I do say so myself !!!

It took me sometime to fine-tune the concept ...   I mean, like I said in my very first blog ...
I knew I wanted to set up a Fashion Website ...
But what direction this website was to take was another matter entirely !!!.


Initially the website featured Fashion Products from Amazon. This was quite fun ...  as I had to browse the

Amazon Website  to pick out beautiful pieces to feature on this site.  However, it was only when I was able to feature the  fashion items of various individual boutiques that the idea of conceptualizing the website as an E-Shopping Mall came about.


Without leaving the confines of your  home ... right in the comfort of your room ... you can just sit at your computer and browse through the portals of individual boutiques for what each has to offer.

All prices, shipping, terms & conditions are set by the individual boutiques themselves.


The Website features  Outfits,  Jewelry,  Handbags,  Shoes, Boots & Accessories  for BOTH Men & Women ...



I have even styled the write up as such ...


"  eZone Fashion is an E-SHOPPING MALL.
It is a REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT IN ONLINE SHOPPING that converges ESTABLISHED, INDEPENDENT BOUTIQUES UNDER ONE ROOF, specializing in OUTFITS, JEWELRY, HANDBAGS, SHOES, BOOTS & ACCESSORIES.  "





So ... What do you think ??? Neat eh ???

I am having loads of fun doing this, and like I said ...
Wish I had done this aeons ago  ... 

It's definitely HEAPS MORE FUN & INTERESTING than being a boring Accountant !!!


Meantime
Check out some of what eZone Fashion has to offer ...



1.   WOMEN'S OUTFITS FROM VARIOUS BOUTIQUES

2.   WOMEN'S FORMAL WEAR FROM VARIOUS BOUTIQUES

3.   WOMEN'S ACESSORIES FROM VARIOUS BOUTIQUES

4.   WEDDING OUTFITS & JEWELRY FROM VARIOUS BOUTIQUES

5.   WOMEN'S FASHION JEWELRY FROM VARIOUS BOUTIQUES

6.   WOMEN'S HANDBAGS & WALLETS FROM VARIOUS BOUTIQUES

7.   WOMEN'S SHOES BY VARIOUS BOUTIQUES

8.   MEN'S FASHION FROM VARIOUS BOUTIQUES

Wear What Suits You Best ... But ... Know What Suits You !!!


Saw this lady today ...

She was wearing a tank top, and a very short mini skirt ...

Yes ... Yes ...  I know ... Nothing to write home about ...
and in this blistering Singapore heat,  to wear as little as possible is perhaps the wisest  ...


BUT .... SHE WAS SHORT, FAT AND VERY WELL ENDOWED ...
ALMOST SPHERICAL EVEN   ...  WITH ASSETS FALLING OUT !!!


Don't get me wrong ... I am NOT against fat people ... 
Far from it ....
As I am no TWIGGY to begin with ...
Not tall and svelte even !!!


BUT like I said before ... you just have to know what suits your body type ...
and wear it with pride and confidence !!!

Okay Okay ... so she WAS  wearing it with pride and confidence in her own delusional way ...
But please be kind to the people around you  !!!

You don't have to have the fashion sense of Pierre Cardin or Coco Chanel  to know that 
short, fat spherical types  do not wear tights, mini skirts, tank tops or tubes ...


It is definitely not a very pleasant sight to be walking behind her as she laboriously makes her way up
a flight of stairs huffing and panting !!!


Come on lady ... 
Climbing up a steep flight of stairs is enough of a torture for me ...
Don't make me have to suffer the added agony of  THUNDER THIGHS  peeping out like
tree trunks from over yonder !!!


It's enough to make my heart miss a beat and give me a coronary ...
and definitely not in a good way !!!

eZONE FASHION Facebook has now reached 540 LIKES !!!



This is TOTALLY AWESOME !!!

Another  encouraging milestone for eZone Fashion.
Our Facebook Page has reached 540 LIKES
within a short space of time.

HOW AWESOME IS THAT ???


When I was first asked to start a Facebook Business Page,  I was wondering what in the world I could possibly post on.
I mean, posting stuff on a Personal Page is easy ... It is a way of connecting with friends and family who are interested in you and what happens in your life. Well ... at least I hope they are !!!


They won't mind  ... well ... not so much anyway ... if you rant and rave about the awful day you are having in the office ... of the traffic jams and jammed packed commute in the mornings and the sweaty smelly people you had to encounter as you return home, dog-tired and ready to collapse !!!


But to start ( I know I am not allowed to start a sentence with BUT !!! ) a Facebook Business Page on Fashion is another kettle of fish entirely !!! Like I said ... What in the world can I possibly post on that is interesting and can maintain the interests of the people who have kindly LIKED my page.


As it was officially part of my homework assignment, I dutifully, albeit apprehensively, started my Business Page @ eZone Fashion @ http://www.facebook.com/ezonefashion


Initially I really had to literally crack my head ...

TRYING TO FIGURE THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION .........


FIRSTLY ... What could I possibly post on everyday ...  and what direction was I to take for this page ...

SECONDLY  ... How in the world  was I going to go about getting all those Valuable LIKES ???


Well  ... Like they always say ... Always be humble  ... BEG if you have to ... HAHAH
And actually that was honestly what I really did !!!


I humbly and doggedly begged each and everyone of my friends and relatives to help me by LIKING my page ... Luckily many took pity on me and complied.


I also tirelessly trolled the internet   ...  searching for interesting stuff on FASHION to update my page each day  ... and the rest, they say is history !!!


Thankfully,  it is now very easy for me to update my site each day with Fashion stuff.

Thankfully too  ... I no longer have to go around begging people to " please LIKE my page " !!!

HOWEVER  ... I STILL DO appreciate and value every single LIKE ... no matter how many new LIKES the page now generates on it's own ...


And I ESPECIALLY value the loyal fans who have stayed with me since the page's inception.


It has well truly been and awesome ride ...  and I am really grateful to each and everyone
for all the loyal support !!!



Cheers Everyone ....     and  THANKS again !!!


Please check us out ...

Awesome & Encouraging Feedback !!!

                                                                                   
This is sooo totally AWESOME !!!


People seem to genuinely enjoy reading my BLOG !!!


I was so afraid that it would not be up to par ...  or worse  ...  insipid and boring !!!


Instead, I have been getting really encouraging feedback from people everywhere  ...  

that my blog is both entertaining and makes for interesting reading.  Some have even suggested that I send my blog for publishing for a commission ... 


LIKE I SAID ... TOTALLY AWESOME AND ENCOURAGING !!!



However, as this is only my 2ND BLOG EVER  to be posted ...
I think I will remain " humble " for now ...  as humble as I know how anyway !!!



At the moment, I am writing at leisure and the creative juices seem to be flowing

quite easily ......
However, the same might not be said if I were to write for a commission or stipend.


Though it would be nice to attach a monetary reward to something that I really enjoy doing and seems to come quite naturally to me,  I might then have a lot of inflexible parameters I would have to adhere to,  and red tape I would have to contend with.

I may then not be able to churn out any interesting stuff at all ... 


The " powers that be "  might not be partial to my warp and crazy sense of humour and might actually have the audacity to curtail my imagination.  


I would then be a lost aimless soul, bereft of the very essence that makes me crazy and unique  !!!


OR

I might actually suffer from " WRITER'S BLOCK " ( ahem !!! ),  and my mind might always be in a perpetual whirlpool ...   with me smoking cigarette after cigarette and drinking copious cups of black coffee  trying to meet these editors' deadlines !!!


AARRRRGHHH  !!!!   It would then be back to the mad life of a harried accountant  !!!



So I think for now, it is just safer for me to sit on my bed, watching my favourite tv shows,  happily typing away  on my trusty laptop, as creative juices start to flow   ....




For now,  I still have a weekly schedule I have to adhere to   ...  but at least there are no inflexible deadlines ...  purple-faced editors screaming in my face  ....   or poor harried me having no control whatsoever as to the content or direction of my page.



Thanks again for all the awesome support.  Hope you will remain faithful ...



Please visit my eZone Fashion Website and eZone Fashion Facebook Page for what I  do consider     GREAT & ACCEPTABLE FASHION STYLES .........
