Shorts shorts shorts!

Summer is still lingering, as in summer fashion and shorts are still hawt! Yes, structured, textured shorts are rampant in fashion houses. Why are they so popular? Well, of cos its the weather that permits us to wear shorts and it has and will always be the sign of a jolly good day.

Shorts are the versatile piece of clothing you can ever own.

Wear if while working out.

Wear it to the mamaks.

Wear it to the malls.

Wear it while taking the doggy out for poo poo.

Wear it even to the clubs. Yes, it is acceptable for us girls to wear shorts for clubbing.

And so you ask, how to wear shorts for every occasion?
This is how the celebrities do it.

From left:

Mischa Barton pairs her LV shorts with a striped cardigan and peep toe heels for an after-dark outing. Very glam. It is acceptable to wear this outfit to posh diners.

Jessica Stam (a model) wears her shorts with a pair of flats. Perfect for that stroll in the mall during weekends.

Alessandra Ambrosio *slurps*. How not to look slutty with shorts and boots. Alessandra Ambrosio displays the absolute perfect way of pairing these two and make it look very sexy. Of course you gotta pair it with a pair of almost nude boots and never black leather ones. The scarf gives just the right amount of coverage for the exposed areas but at the same time it is sheer. Only someone with a body of a goddess can pull off a look like that.

Kate Moss wears her black tailored shorts well with a long sweater and white top tucked in. To complete the look, she pairs it with a pair of wedgies which makes her look oh so perfecto.

Keira Knightley pulls of this smashing look with a cropped jacket over a long loose t-shirt. Oh yea, not forgetting the fashion staple, big handbag and big pair shades.

Oh and of course make sure your legs are shaved when wearing shorts. Even stubs are not acceptable. If there are scars, don't be lazy, use a concealer.

Sports gone sexy

We have witness (maybe our parents have) the evolution of women's sports attire. I am talking about women's tennis attire in particular. In the olden days, tennis used to be the sport of the affluent. So, women will be dressed in their fine gowns and hats while playing the sport. And then I guess women got a little more aggressive in the sport and decided to chase every shot which made gowns and hats really inconvenient to play in. So women got a bit more daring and the outfit shrunk and shrunk and shrunk over the years. It shrunk until it became a sport of boobs, bootie and biceps.

How else sexier can you get with tennis attire these days. Tennis is no more about polo tees and mini skirts. Its all about designer wear. The sexiest gets the attention.

I think the evolution for tennis attire should just end right here. That's enough. The girls can move really well it those skimpy outfits.
So, what about golf then? I just started golf like 2 weeks ago and I am really into it right now.
Ladies golf attire are really boring, same ol' polo tee and pants.

If I can't excel in the sport, I think I shall grab attention on the golf course by revolutionizing the way women golfers dress. Inspired by the way tennis stars dress these days, I think women golfers should dress the same way too! Of course, I gotta slap lotsa sun screen when playing golf as well and not forgetting the visors.

Ok, for starters, I guess I'm gonna make the mini skirt the staple of my golf attire. How to make the attire even sexier?? Well, throw in a pink bustier and that will for sure grab lots of attention when bending down to retrieve the ball after putting into the hole.

Tube top a little inconvenient after a full and through swing?(With so much boobs pushed up in that bustier, nip slip is bound to happen) So, back to the old fashion sleeved polo top but with a little twist.

A low neck line midriff-baring polo top. This top will definitely keep boobs in check while still baring a little bit of cleavage and some abs. Uber sexy outfit for golfing.

If the professionals adopt these outfits, golfing will never be the same again. Men won't dread to play with weaklings (ie: women) anymore, instead they will go to the ends of the world to make sure they have a lady in their flight.

Till then men, pray and hope that there will be super sunscreen product in the market that will entirely block out the skin from all sun rays like an invisible leather suit for 6 hours. Only then, women will wear mini skirts and cropped polos for golfing.

Discount, discount, sale, sale

First fashion post!Yes , discount, sales, my favorite. To buy undervalued goods. Feel very syok buying stuff at half price. Why pay premium when you can wait for it to become undervalued.

Sales + Daphne = bestest of friends.

Quite disappointed when I was at Cats Whiskers. Couldn't get my pink and white dress for a wedding dinner. Headed over to Little Black Book, aiyo worst. No doubt stuff are cheap but they are in their own fashion world some how. Nevertheless,still managed to get something. You know the feeling when you walk into a store full of cheap goodies and you just feel guilty walking away without getting anything. That is just the way how we girls feel.
Good thing I didn't whack my credit card.
So these were my buys.

Mandarin collared jacket from Little Black Book. Only 46 bucks. Kinda regret buying it. When will I ever wear it. Can't possibly be in that under the hot sun.
