Maintaining My Big Hair Obsession.

BIG HAIR OBSESSION.When we speak about hair styling,i guess for me it is the most essential part of our physical appearance that actually screams your personality.Forget about the clothes,hair is something that you wear all the times and it doesn't require everyday's transformations unless you are Beyonce or Erra Fazira living your life with extraordinaire wigs!

How many of you out there agree with me when I say when you take a good care of your skin,your hair kind of messed up itself,it turns out to be oily,dried,frizzy and broken at it end?.Trust me,even for myself I have no solution of answers for that! My skin is basically very sensitive,I have pimples and scars that took forever to dissapear but thankfully,I have quite an easy manageable hair.I have a naturally wavy hair and it does took hours to be straightened.

So recently I went to the saloon and give myself a bit of a transformation to my hair by cutting my fringe or bangs!I still stick to my intention for not colouring my hair because I prefer it to be healthy as I intended to grow it longer and longer by times.Yes,the best way to grow your hair is to stop colouring it,dont do rebonding treatment to it and basically minimize the use of chemical substances to it.

How to pick the best hairstyle?

1.Practicality.It seems like clothes too,pick the one that actually bring comforts to you.Choose a trendy hairstyles that easy for you to style them with using less hair gel,spray,wax or what so ever.Don't have to be late for work just because you cant get you hair curled the way you want it to be!

2.Know your hair textures.The texture of my hair is actually thin and fragile.And to add to it,I have a very oily scalp,so it always weighed down my hair making it looks flat.Since I do love big hair so much,my hairstylist loved to layers up my hair so it will give it more volume especially at the back.So my dear dolls,check your hair texture,is it thick,thin or curly.Ask your hairstylist what should go nice with your hairstyle and start your research.

3.Hair Products.For me,its crucially important to treat my hair like a princess.I did lots of curling and ironing though,so I have to nourished it with the best nutrients and treatments.I haven't colored my hair for a year actually and I use a good range of product specially made for oily hair like mine!

So far,Ive been using these product from Loreal for 3 years,I've been in love with it.Especially the Nutri Gloss hair serum spray and the Total Repair Hair Mask.Trust me,you don't have to wash your hair in the saloon every time you use them!

I wish i did help you dolls out there in practising good way to keep your hair sexily styled and healthy.Do drop me any question to my email iris_iana@yahoo.com if you want me to post about anything related to hair care regime and so on.

love.xoxo

DENIM AND STYLE MOTIVATION.

 BAD JEANS I was never a big fan of jeans or denim.Yes it was one of the most comfortable material to be worn but I always have this perspective in my mind that it will make the whole look sloppy or 'undone'.But then what is style without an evolution?I have taken my deepest guts to get myself a nice pair of jeans,and to add some challenge of chic-ness to it,I prefer a bleached one. The side of me that loves the feminine look wont be harmed by adding some grungy sense with these bleached jean.Somehow,it does added a dose of fun to my outfits.Making it look girly yet rock-ish.

These are some of the jeans collection I had my eye on from Topshop.Be it high waisted,bleached or ripped,these jeans are one of the key to style essentials.Pairing it with t-shirts or some elegant blazers will enhance the casualty in your look while not loosing its sense of chic-ness.

All items are from Topshop.

CELEBRATING FASHION AND MODESTY IN IFF 2013

BEAUTY OF MODESTY Religion was never a key factor to break you from fashion.It was always a subjective thing,like fashion does and of course that is how art works.Combining the essential teachings of  a religion in the practicality of what you are wearing is one of the best thing in having a personal style.A beautiful big congratulation to Datuk Seri Shah Rezza for his brilliant efforts in compassing fashion with modesty and majestically highlighting the beautiful of the Islamic teachings into fashion. The grand annual festive, Islamic Fashion Festival is always a luxuriously modern event that's combined the best of Islamic arts to the stylish Muslim fashinostas.

Designers from many Islamic countries were playing their best creative minds blowing people and nurturing them with how a religion teachings can actually plays their roles to put fashion in the most stylish way.I have made my way to attend the event as my very good friend Qudyn was also participated in the annual event.

 Qudyn KL's team and friends.

 I choose to wear a tribal prints dress with black pump heels.I just love how tight the dress on my body with its simple cut but the print are the best part of the dress that I like the most.

Bali,London and Abu Dhabi was some of the beautiful cities that had actually witnessed the beauty of Islamic fashion and styling paraded by IFF.This bizzare initiative taking IFF to many countries was actually a brilliant idea when its unite many cultures in one festival bringing the Islam teachings and art together. It was joined by many fashion extraordinaire from Indonesia,Thailand and Malaysia.

Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2013: Malaysian Fashion Scene.

Watching the slow movement of Malaysian's fashion scene might feels like watching Kim Kardashian's boring reality shows but being a Malaysian blogger I am,I must say that I am honestly grateful to see an expanding ideas of nowadays young fashion designers.They have bring more fresh air to our local fashion scene in style development and uses more artistic approaches in relating arts and apparel.

I might didnt got the chance to see the whole shows for a week,but I've been following most of the designer's shows updates through friends,twitter,google and instagram, (many thanks to some of the local quick fashion bloggers who've been very responsive to KLFW since I'm also working that I cant fill my schedule with fashion week.)

During on the second day,I attended one of the show which I am humbly thanked my dear friend Jep and Jay for taking me with them.It was quite a good show even I was a little bit rushing from Bangsar for work and Pavillion for the show.In a very blink of an eye,I had to make a quick pick in one of the clothing store in Bangsar to get my outfit of the day.Ladies,in this very last minute moment,believe me it was a a big challenge to focus on simplicity yet keeping it 'less is more' is always important!

 I prefer to keep it simple.Back to the basic of black and white.I dont like looking trying too hard as i believe the best style is when you are in your higheat level of comfort even I must say that shoes was a foot killer,though!

 The chic friend,Jep Mansor.

When it comes to KLFW,its like a header to the Malaysian Fashion Industry.I am looking forward to see real fashion designers that actually can bring Malaysian style sense to their creations.Since the collections are ready to wear,I always believe we're Malaysians,really go for casualty and comfort that suits our climate and it doesn't harm the fact that we also love looking fashionably glamorous.To cqater to that,I had my eye on these three new young local designers pouring their creativity that actually,I think really scream our local fashion sense.Its modern yet so oriental,fresh designs and most importantly I like the way that the garments were made to look so clean and casual. By Zakwan Anuar,ZEAL by Max Mak and Ruzz Gahara.

                                 
Looking forward for next year's Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week.Hopefully next time I will have more times to see the comeback of our darling local designer like Rizman Ruzaini and Hatta Dolmat in the fashion week.Yes,fashionistas like me miss you much. :)
