Prabal Gurung for Target collection is not coming to Australia :(

Posted on February 5, 2013 | 7 comments

I am sure everyone knows by now that how much I love Prabal Gurung and was over the moon when he announced Prabal Gurung for Target collection. I am sure you have read this and this posts about the collection.

I was literally counting down the days until Feb 10 2013. I made sure my day was free on that Sunday so I can be first on the line at Target when they open that morning. I was a bit worried that I won’t get what I want in my size.

Last weekend, I went to Target and asked about the details so I know what time I should be in store to buy my favourite pieces and I was surprised to know that they had no clue as to what I was talking about. So they asked me to call the head office and I did so today. I am shattered, devastated, sad, angry, annoyed to say the least when they informed me that AUSTRALIA IS NOT GETTING PRABAL GURUNG FOR TARGET COLLECTION.

I had been planning my purchases from day one of the announcement. When I had a birthday last year, I asked everyone to give me Target voucher so I can buy more items from the collection. Also I was telling my hubby that my Valentine’s gift will be from Prabal Gurung for Target collection as well.

I even dreamed of wearing the red ruffle dress with lace miniaudiere black shoe, short-sleeve dress in Calypso Coral/Atlantis with lace-up heels in Meet the Parents print and pleated skirt with lace in Sulfur Spring with lace-up pumps in Nolita print. Let me not even go on about bags and accessories.

Seriously this is the first time I have spent so much time looking at each item and accessories from the collection and making a list of what I want to buy. I even had a budget for it but in the end, all my dreams went up in smoke. Don’t know what to do now 😦 😦 :(. Very very very sad.

P. S.: I am thinking of online options now but I am so confused about the sizes. I really hope I will be able to buy them as they will be popular and I will have the disadvantage of being so far away.

I am size 6 or 8 in Australia so I think I will need US size 2 or 4 but I won’t be sure until I wear them. So I am thinking to order size 4 just in case size 2 doesn’t fit me. If anyone can help me with the sizes, it would be really appreciated.

How I saved my shoes?

Posted on February 2, 2013 | 16 comments

If you don’t know me yet, I am telling you that I am crazy about my shoe. Of course most girls are but do read my post here if you want to read the details.

I don’t know when my obsession for shoes started but I still dream of the day when I am going to have a whole wall wardrobe of shoes. I am sure my husband still wonders what I do with 100s of pairs of shoe I have and keep buying more but men can never understand.

Buying a pair of shoes has always had some supernatural effects on me making me super happy and super confident when I wear them. I believe that shoes also tell a story about the kind of person you are from the feet to your head. Feet are our feelings and a good pair of shoes that well-made, attractive to look at, and comfortable to wear tell the world what you think of yourself all day long.

Anyway on my recent trip to Nepal and Thailand I have bought few new pairs of shoe. Look at them, aren’t they lovely :).

my shoes

I was wearing one of them when I went out for lunch with one of my friend today. When we went out, it was really windy but there was no sign of rain.

But while we were having lunch, it started to rain like cats and dogs. Seriously, there was a thunderstorm and the rain was really heavy. We waited for a while for rain to stop but it didn’t and there was no sign that the rain going to stop. We were less than 10 minutes away from work and we were getting late so we decided to run from the café to work.

Instead of saving myself from getting wet, I took my jacket out and put it on my head to save my hair and took off my shoe and hide it under the jacket. Then we both ran. I was really hoping that no one I know recognise me in the street.

It is quite embarrassing to run like that but my brand new shoes are made out of suede and if it is wet, I am not sure what will happen to the shoes.

When I finally got to the office, my dress was wet but my shoe was dry, not a drop of water in it.

When my colleagues saw my situation, they couldn’t stop laughing. I am sure it looked really funny to others but for me I am just very proud that I saved m y shoes 🙂

Guess that show that I am fashionista after all and my love for shoe will never die 🙂

Spring 2012 Trend Alert: Hello, PETAL!

Posted on January 10, 2013 | 2 comments

This article was published in +977 (a Nepalese Lifestyle Magazine in Australia) in Jan 2013 issue.

977 fashion

There is a bloom of floral prints in Spring/ Summer 2012-‘13 collections on the runway so take the inspiration ladies and let’s wear roses, daffodils, orchids or daisies and “lighten up” our style for the warm weather.

Depending on your style, age and attitude, prints can look cutesy or matronly. Whether you choose a floral print dress, leggings, or a pretty floral top, there are plenty of opportunities to add some flower power to your spring look. It always gives off the freshness that spring brings.

Time to Bloom everyone, here are some tips to wear floral!!!

  • A small scale floral is perfect on a wear with everything item like jeans, as its subtle enough to mix with most items.
  • With regards to your body shape, always remember that smaller prints are always easier to wear.
  • Bigger patterns go well with people who have a bigger body frame. Capitalize on the impact of this pattern by choosing a streamlined shift-style dress.
  • An old fashioned floral can look femme if worn in a suitably ladylike shapes. Sleek pencil skirts are the best, but fitted frocks and prim blouses work too.
  • If you are not into flower power, you can still wear it as an accessory such as a flowery bag or a belt.
  • Fashion is all about attitude and confidence so keep that in mind.

Hot Trend Chunky Statement Necklaces

Posted on November 21, 2012 | 10 comments

This article was published in +977 (a Nepalese Lifestyle Magazine in Australia) in Nov 2012 issue.

Ladies, get ready to vamp up your wardrobe with some statement necklaces this spring. The chunkier, the funkier, the bigger, the better! There are myriad choices from floral accents and multicolour gemstones to layered pearls and bib necklaces as well as acrylic, plastic, shells or resins.

Here are a few I absolutely adore.

How to wear it?

  • Wear a really plain top and jeans and mix it with a statement necklace.
  • Wear a sundress or white dress with a chunky flowery necklace for a beach looks.
  • When dressing for a formal affair, an elegant statement necklace is great to transform from plain to fabulous.
