Travel Fashion | Travel In Style - Colorblock




Girls will be girls. Agree?


I know... I know... some are saying us girls travel heavy as we carry too many clothes etc. TET! Wrong! We do and can travel light yet travel in style (this is the part where you girls say "yah!!!!" loudly with a touch of snobbishness [and flip that hair too, gurl!]) and we have a secret for that (plus it's the latest trend in town... still). It is call...... colorblock!

For those wearing headscarf, you can use the above as a guideline and improvise along the way. Long pants/skirts instead of short ones, layer it with cardigan, wear a floral/colorful headscraft etc.

I did 2 other entries on fashion previously.
Travel Tips/Fashion | 1 Shirt, 8 Ways (#Travellight)
Travel Fashion | 12 Ways To Tie A Scarf


Why am I so particular on style/fashion when I travel? Simple...
- Why should I look ugly when traveling? Like seriously...
- As I can't frequent the same country, thus I have that one shot to make sure the trip and pictures turn out super perfect. Yah... Call me kiasu. Hehehhehee...
- Every country I visit is special therefore should be given the utmost respect (ayat poyo)
- If you dress well, you'll get better treatment (try it!) 
- World Peace #Eh (Hahhahahha.....)

Try it!

#TravelTips | I see. I shop. I'm BROKE! [Platinum Mall Review]



I see. I shop. I'm BROKE!

That is exactly what people do in Platinum Mall or Chatuchak or Bangkok. They (or should I say we or maybe I) shop as if General Zod gonna kill Man Of Steel and destroy the earth or something. Not only the price here is cheaper than those in Malaysia, the fact that if you purchase 2 or 3 and more, the price drops even further thus would be a great joy-killer if you were to only purchase one or none, right? Right? Right?

Hence, shop we shall.

Sharing glimpse of what they have/sell here :)

Ah.... Platinum Mall. Heaven to girls, Hell to boys (wallet).

For those with extra cash I would recommend 2 nearby hotels for you to stay. One would be the Amari Watergate Hotel and the other would be Novotel Platinum Hotel, the great thing about this 2 hotels is it allows US GIRLS to shop and dump our goods at the concierge and continue shopping, after all it is just 15 steps away. Easy Peasy! 

Platinum Mall consist of 7 floor and this is later split into 2 zone which I can't see the different except that it burnt a hole in my wallet but anyway...

One should check their time and wallet before starting their Amazing Shopping Race. That is the only advice I have, and oh yah! Wear good shoe, a VERY GOOD WALKING SHOE. You won't regret this.

This is how the female 'lane' looks like. I also suggest you go in orderly and systematically fashion to avoid 'accidentally' repeating the same lane as this would mean you would miss on other 'important lane' and shopping time. We don't want that, do we? Hehhehehheee.... 

The current summer 2013 trend. Kinda cheap, around RM30-50 mebbe. 

Other fancier dresses available... there's an option for everyone. Not to worry.

Man section are not too bad either, if Iron Man and Hulk can wear it, so can you.

Man do shop too, just that the lane are not that crowded *wink*.

Some cuter shirts on Man's floor, errr... boy's floor.

 Kids, kids, kids....

And more kids.

Accessories floor is a killer too, love some of the shawl or head scarf.

Ahh..... in trend too right. 

Nonsense stuff, my favourite; spent 45 mins of nothingness and came out with..... NOTHINGNESS. Just browsing, hahahhahahaaa.... 

Wanted that Stitch bag so badly but clueless of what to do with it. Sigh... 

Platinum Mall food court provides halal food, however there's only 1 halal stall (I think, and I forgot to take a pic of it, duh Lily!).

And 1 vegetarian stall, pick your choice. 

And as usual, it's coupon system.

Aside from Platinum Mall, there are Ladies Wholesaler Mall and another fashion mall next to it, you can always spend some time here too. Ladies Wholesale Mall is much cheaper I heard but I suggest you check-it out yourself.

There's shops outside this Ladies Wholesale Mall as well, make sure you cover all perimeters. 

This is the other fashion mall located next to Platinum Mall, on the right hand side, there's Starbuck.

And if you overshop, it's ok! Just go get yourself a beg pelarian to stuff your goods! Hehehhehhehe.....

Orange for moi!

Got the blue one for another birthday baby, like this one; very man!

Travel Fashion | Jubah/Abaya from Singapore Trip

The last few visits to Singapore I did not manage to step into my jubah shop in Singapore. Sob sob...

Kinda far for me to purchase a jubah right? Well, that is because I like this specific design; with embroidery and all... I find it very unique and in fact a bit like a Mexico dress. Kot kot lar dapat gi middle east leh ngada-ngada pakai kan, letak jek belt betul tak? Hehheheh.... Jom Jordan! InsyaAllah.

Very Mexico colour heh... This is my existing jubah.


The flowers at the bottom/foot (design kat kaki jubah).

Another jubah of mine, love the sweet and pastel colour.

The bottom/foot design is slightly different from the white base shown on top.

So far, I only have this 2 jubahs (I do have the normal black ones, but I prefer this type as it is of cotton material - me favourite). During recent trip, I visited the same shop in the hope that they still have a few of the same design (since I bought it 2 years ago).... to my luck, they do!!!

Don't like this collar somehow... new design so they said.

Bought this red one, still finding it weird buying a red jubah. Oh well...

The lady was showing a customer whom custom made her jubah for her haj trip and I immediately fell in love with the colours; pastel and sweet... aww.... I must have this. Then, she pull out another one - a baby light blue base, ish ish ish....

I don't know why in my camera it came out darker blue as the actual colour was light baby blue... very soft and pastel-ish. Just use your imagination lar yek... (sorry, camera kat kedai tak sharp)

The sleeves and bottom/foot design.

Sweet huh? Yes, I custom made mine exactly the same (whole exact detail), it should be ready in November. So, it looks like I will be visiting Singapore again *wink* soon.

They have dresses for little girls as well. Comei kan...

Top for little girl.

This is the shop... they have normal Baju Kurung as well.

Here's the address & contact detail.

Sis's cat kepoh-ing while I was busy snapping pics.
