iPhone 5C - The must-have fashion accessory

Besides pay day and Halloween, are you looking forward to 31 October 2013 the same way that I am?

Yes, we are merely less than 24 hours away before Malaysians devour the latest candies from Apple - iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.

While many who will be queuing up outside Switch stores are mostly awaiting the iPhone 5S, I believe the iPhone 5C will still sell like hot(cup)cakes. That’s the underlying purpose of the iPhone 5C – reduced price that pops with excitement, designed to reach a new market.

While the tech leaders may not fancy the iPhone 5C much, it is more affordable and to many (like myself), saving a few hundred bucks on a phone allows them to spend those moolah on something else.

Hold your horses, people! The iPhone 5C make no compromise on the looks, features and speed, boasting the following:

• A6 Chip
• 4-inch Retina Display
• 136-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi
• ƒ/2.4 aperture
• LED flash
• 1080p HD video
• 1.2MP front-facing camera

And you get all the awesomeness from Apple and a smartphone that expresses your personality with a splash of colour.

I know how hard it is to decide on the colour (they are all so pretty!), hence I've prepared colour charts below to make it easier for you to choose your candy. Find your colour and see what it says about you *wink*

I may be getting an iPhone 5C for myself. Can you guess... which pretty colour I have decided on? (Hint: I may love pink, but I'm not going pink this round)

How to dress out loud for Halloween

Don’t tell me you're not hunting for some creepy costumes with Halloween looming around the corner. Bet you already know that this weekend, Queensbay Mall is giving away treats if they spot you all-dressed-up for the celebration.

I’ll be dressing up too, but to be honest, I'm not a fan of full-on fancy. I'm talking about sartorial chic that gets you into the gothic and ghostly mood, and fashionable styles that you can wear again after the fiendish festival.

I've scouted Topshop at Queensbay Mall and there’s more treat than trick *wink*

Vamp it up!

Love Kate Beckinsale's all-leather suit in Underworld film series? Yeah, me too! While wearing a whole leather suit will definitely spark some head-turns, it simply doesn't complement the warm and humid weather on this side of the world.

But I spotted this High Shine Wetlook Leggings that will look great with a pair of strappy footwear. I can’t be Amelia but close enough, right?

Classy corpse-web

If the leather look is not for you, go for a cobweb lacey style to replicate one of the reigning queens of Halloween – Morticia Addams from the mysterious Addams Family. This flair Lace Sleeve Swing Dress is perfect for anyone, and you can easily whip up the look with straight or wavy jet-black hair and a fiery red lip. Hot or what?!

I don’t want common scents!

Scents can be a very personal thing. What makes me feel like a goddess may make you feel like a pauper. But universally, scents are similar to music - they capture moods that create lasting impressions. And I absolutely love aromas that leave a trail of me, even after I’m long gone (not six feet underground, okay!) from your sight.

That is why... I can’t help but fall senselessly in love with Crabtree & Evelyn’s Limited Edition Heritage Collection. The scents exalt the classic aromas of the Mediterranean coastline and Europe’s ancient cities that transport the senses to distant shores.

Flower Water (for the ladies) include scents of Florentia Freesia, Venetian Violet and Old World Jasmine.

Eau de Colognes (for the gentlemen) comprise of Sevillian Neroli, Old Windsor, Hungary Water and Neapolitan Bergamot.

I have a particularly scent-timental interest for Old World Jasmine Flower Water, not simply because of its pretty exotic fragrance but because... it reminds me of my dear mother. Perhaps, I inherited her love for jasmine *wink*

When was your first time?

You know what I mean *wink*

Be bold! Don't be shy... it's pretty cool to show off your wild side.

This October, as the world come together to raise awareness for the Pink Ribbon month and support the fight against breast cancer, do your part and go pink for the very first time (if you haven't)!

Well, I'd say: Don't just go sweet in pink. It's time to toughen up and rock a little attitude in pink.

Yes, we've seen studs all over the runways and studded accessories are here to stay. So embrace it and take your studs from head to toe.
