Love this dress

But first, let me take a selfie 

TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT

,My parents bought a new apartment so I went down to check it out. Super love the pink swings. This is actually the kid's corner. Hahahahaha but I believe you'll probably see more pictures taken here in the future after we move over to the new place. :)

CONTEST TIME!

All you have to do is post a picture of your Look Of The Day on their Facebook page www.facebook.com/yorkboutiquesg and get your friends to like the picture. 10  lucky fans will stand a chance to win $30 vouchers from York! 

Don't say I never share ah!! !

I've received a couple of emails from readers who are interested to join but are shy to share their picture on their page. Well, alot of times we plus sized girls are too self conscious to even post our full body pics online - I would know. I used to be one of those girls!!!  But remember, it's your body -you deserve to love the body you are in and it's OKAY to be a little vain sometimes, it's OKAY to be confident and it's OKAY to love our own bodies. Remember that!

We were born to SPARKLE! How about do it with Plus Size Mannequin?

MynameisQUE;

<Sponsored>

Sequins are great! Makes you feel ultra fabulous no matter where you are. Wheee!! The moment I saw this dress on The Plus Mannequin's website, I knew that I just HAD to get it. It's no secret that I LOVE the colour blue a lot. 

Pair this dress with a fuschia PINK lipstick and BAAM, you're good to start the party!

Looks like Lady Gaga's a fan of sequins too! I think every single girl in the universe should own at least 1 apparel with sequins on it. Could be a top, a jacket, a skirt, or a shirt... It's definitely A MUST HAVE in your wardrobe. You can thank me later! ;) 

On a sunny day, I paired this outfit up with my trusty ol' Polaroid eyewear.

Someone so needs to stop me from getting anymore blue clothes and accessories. I should buy more greens instead. What do you think?

If I had things my way, I'd leave little sparkle everywhere I go. 

 

There are 2 versions of this apparel. One's a dress here and the other's a top here. There are a couple of different colours for the dress, so CHOOSE your FAV!

Hari Raya Special - Hues Of Red

MynameisQUE;

It's the time of the year again - Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri everyone. 

This year, I made very minimal preparations for this year's celebration. 2014 has not been a fantastic year so I didn't really feel like going all out. In fact, I only purchased my Hari Raya outfits yesterday. I headed down to Sue Tariq's place to check out her collections.

Outfit Of The Day 

Earrings from Diva

X'clusive Nina Kimono from Sue Tariq

Heart Tag Bracelet from Tiffany & Co

Pink patent bag from Kate Spade 

"Tahun ni I takya masak Ayam Masak Merah cus abang, you make my pipi sooo merah!" #rayapickuplines

How's the first day of your Hari Raya celebrations?

Anyway, if you don't already know I went for lazer treatment at ClearSK Medi-Aesthetics on Saturday. Am so glad that I could wear my make up happily today because there's no down time at all after the treatment. I really thought I'd be making my visiting rounds with horrible looking skin as an effect of the treatment. :P I'll share with you guys more about this soon. Promise!!!!

The Launch Of York.sg | The E - Shopping Site Of York Boutique Modelled By Yours Truly

MynameisQUE;

While I was growing up, I had a tough time looking for clothes to wear. I had a couple of "key pieces" that I would wear over and over again. Other than that, I didn't have other nice clothes to wear. That was until I discovered York Boutique when I was 14 which was previously located at Eastpoint Mall in Simei. Then, I bought diffrent kinds of basics from them. My blazer, jeans, denim skirt, leggings, formal dresses and many more. 

The company started out more than 20 years ago selling both clothes of small size to plus sized clothes. From year 2009 onwards, the team decided to focus on plus sized clothings. 

I remember feeling elated when I bought my first pair of jeans, denim skirt and dresses from York. York gave me a new sense of hope, I could wear prettier clothes after all. From my experience, I can be honest enough to tell you that their clothes are of very good quality. In fact, I still have some apparels I bought from them like 10 years ago in my closet. Still like brand new! It's quite amazing la. 

Fast forward 2 months ago, the York team contacted me and asked me if I would be interested to take on a modelling assignment for their new online store. Jumped straight at the opportunity and here are some photos! 

Fatshionista: I Procrastinate - but I'm willing to change

MynameisQUE;

I've been procrastinating alot. 

I wanted to set up a blogshop for plus sized girls for myself but it never happened. 

I wanted to launch Project You Are Beautiful, but it never happened. 

I wanted to started blogging again - oh hey here I am typing this out after half a year. 

What if I organised a flea market of some sort and it will be held at my place in Tampines, would you be interested to come and join me? I have alot of clothes that I'd love to sell off. Cheap & Chic I promise! 

In other news, yes I've rebonded my hair. I've also gotten myself a new Balenciaga bag in Bubblegum. (See above). A couple of months back, I grabbed a pair of Melissa Doris Spikes pumps at an irresistible discount. First Melissa Shoes! 

Well, what's new with you then? 

Cheers,

Plus Sized Label FLOW, Suitable For Every CURVILISTA!

MynameisQUE;

Finally checked out the FLOW counter at Isetan Scotts and I am extremely impressed by the collections. Love the designs made of bold prints and patterns. Read on to find out more about my experience with FLOW!

Just take the escalator up to level 2 of Isetan Scotts and you’ll definitely see the FLOW counter!

The best part about it is that not only does FLOW sell apparels, but they also have their very own line of accessories!

Moving to the apparels I tried when I was at Isetan Scotts!

Jaw Drop…. I love this Embellished Chiffon Batwing Top in Turqoise. I keep thinking about how comfortable it is and how the colour is so striking. Should I go back to the FLOW counter at Isetan Scotts to get this?

Check out the embellished collars with beads of different colours.
How can anyone not fall in love with this????

Fell in love with this Abstract Print Jersey Faux Wrapped Dress because of the vibrant colours. I think I know when I should wear this! When I need a “PERK ME UP OUTFIT” to cheer myself up after a bad week, maybe?!

Ah….. I love this Leopard Print Jersey Skirt. 

Check out how a top can make a difference in how your overall outfit will look like. Left – probably suitable for me to wear when meeting new clients or attending business meetings and right – probably a chill night out with my girls! I think pencil skirts look great on curvy girls, so ignore the naysayers, girlfriends.

Selfshots because I love how the Embellished Chiffon Batwing Top in Turqoise looks great on me!

Many of my readers and friends have asked me about the price range of FLOW. The prices ranges from about $80 onwards, which I think is perfectly affordable considering other physical plus size shops are selling their apparels within this price range. 

Also, I still get emails from readers saying that they are afraid to try wearing bright colours and would prefer to stick to muted colours. I hope that this post will show you that, fashion rules are meant to be broken! If I can do it, so can you!!

A picture with the FLOW team J Thank you for being so accommodating. 

Definitely one of the best brands I’ve worked with thus far.

Oh, and as mentioned in my previous post here, here’s a super privilege for all of you! 

Print the image below and enjoy SGD20 off on regular-priced items.  Please download it, print it out and present to the sales assistant at FLOW counter upon your purchase. Valid only from 14-27 June2013.

Have fun shopping!

Peter Pan Lace Collared Dress from Plusylicious.com

MynameisQUE;

< Sponsored> 

Outfit Of The Day

Peter Pan Lace Collared Dress in Navy Blue | Plusylicious 

Bracelet | Pandora
Spiked Jelly Sandals | Rubi
Faux Leather Clutch | Cotton On

Love how this dress automatically makes me look super girly. Perfect for dress down days when you wanna still look good yet not over the top. I wore this outfit during the Christmas public holiday to Mustafa Centre with my family. LOVE, LOVE! 

Received a basic Pandora bracelet from the boss for Christmas . Thank you lao ban! Have also added charms to the bracelet. Total damage around $300+. Been receiving enquiries about the cost of Pandora charms ever since I posted a photo of the bracelet on Instagram. The cheapest bracelet charm is about $44. The price varies for the different designs. Dangling charms cost about $90. Hope this helps! 

Had a haircut on Christmas eve. The ends of my hair are extremely dry so I've decided to snip the last 7 inches off. Dyed my hair again, this time to a darker colour. The original plan was to dye my hair purple but after walking out of the salon, my hair looked brown instead of my desired colour. Sigh.... Such is life! You don't always get what you want, don't you?! That's it. I'm dying my hair red next!

Targeted month of hair makeover: April 2013

Anyway, just to keep you updated, my sponsor Plusylicious has recently launched their new collections! Here are some of my favs I would totally grab.

Cream Lace Dress 

I love how this dress is really sweet and perfect for special functions.

Pink Military Trenchcoat 

I've always been looking for plus sized trenchcoats! Love the colour. *.*

Checkered Dress 

Love the cutting and the checkered prints of the dress. Unique colour! 

So please visit their website and check out their new collection! Pssst, they're now even selling accessories and shoes. ;)

Online shopping with Paypal!

Happy Monday!

I bought a pearl collar necklace from the Geylang bazaar a few weeks back.

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you an awesome payment method for your online shopping needs. 

For me, I used to do bank transfers. I still do it now actually, but I personally prefer paying via Mastercard. I'm now fully utilising my FRANK by Ocbc debit card. Ahem! Then again the disadvantage is that everytime I go to another shopping site, I have to key in my card details all over again. (I still love you FRANK. You're still the hottest debit card around.... but I've also found an alternative for my online shopping needs. :P) 

It's..... Paypal! 

I know Paypal has been in the market for quite some time, but believe it or not... I just made my first transaction a few days ago when I shopped at Zalora!

Anyway, if you aren't aware, Zalora also has plus sized clothes. However, the choices are very limited so I didn't get any for myself this time. Perhaps next time, when they have something that catches my eye!

After checking out the site for almost an hour, I decided to purchase an Alexander McQueen inspired clutch and a necklace. Will show you once I've received them! :) 

So how do you pay via Paypal? 

1) Order

2) Select Paypal as a payment method.

 Step 3: Log into your Paypal account.

& You're done! Fast and safe. No wonder it is Singapore's most preferred way to pay online and on mobile! ;)

Other sites that also offer Paypal as a payment method include Studiofrost and Plusylicious, an online site selling plus sized clothing I featured a few months ago on my blog. =) 

Hope you found this blogpost useful! If you don't already know, there's also a mobile application for Paypal for you to manage your money on-the-go. Start downloading!

Dress Giveaway for Plus sized Girls by Art Of Plus!

MynameisQUE;

<Sponsored>

Wore this red dress to KL the other day. It is one of my favourite dresses so far because it's red and all cutesy. I've always wanted to find a dress like this with printed hearts on it but no avail. :)


But thanks to Art of Plus, I managed to grab this dress. Really happy with the service as Wanqi (the owner of Art Of Plus) She was really patient with me because I've been delaying this collaboration since forever because I've been busy with work! To cut things short, she came all the way down to my place at Tampines in the evening to send me this dress. Really touched and thankful because everybody is so nice to me.
*Wipes tears*


Best part about this blogshop is that they also have a physical store at City Plaza, #03-121! I will be dropping by to get another dress from them. Any of you interested to join me on perhaps on a weekend? We could have lunch together at Arnolds after shopping. :> Email me at rynaque@gmail.com! 

Well, great news! I'll be giving away a 

Black Asymmetrical Hem Dress with Ruffles from Art Of Plus. You probably can guess that one of the reasons I love this dress is because of the assymetrical hem at the bottom. With the trend of high low dresses becoming more popular, I am convinced that this dress too will look good on you ladies!

Here's how you can dress up this outfit with accessories. 

Match the dress with gold accesories and you are good to go! 

Dress fits UK 16-18 :) 

So here are the steps to win this dress. Just follow the instructions of the widget below.


Step 1: "Like" Art Of Plus on Facebook (Facebook Page)




Step 2: Add Art of Plus as a friend on Facebook (Fb Account)


Step 3: Please leave a conment on both pages with your name and details so that we know who to contact if you win this giveaway!

Collection will be done via meet up at City Plaza, Paya Lebar. :) 

Good luck ladies!
