Simple Advice on Wearing Body Fitting Dresses

People who have known me for a long, long time know that I am not the naturally slender type. In fact, I was considered chubby most of my life, especially during my childhood and teenage years. As an adult, I do struggle with weight fluctuations very often as I have a huge passion for food and can't resist carbohydrates and sugar! Hence, I tend to avoid wearing body hugging clothes more often than not.

After completing my training in Style Coaching, I realise that many women can look good in fitting clothes even if they are considered to be plump or bigger in size. The trick is really finding the correct size as well as recognizing the cutting of clothing that best suits their frame. For instance, if a particular dress is too tight, it is likely to cause unsightly bulging around specific body parts such as the tummy area. However, this issue may be resolved once a bigger size is chosen, even if the dress is meant to be body fitting. If a bigger size does not completely do the trick, there are always shapewear (also important to choose the right ones for best effect and comfort) which can be worn underneath a dress to achieve a slimmer or sleeker look, be it for work or special events.

Hope the above information is useful for women who think that they are not ever going to look good in bodycons or who are not confident to wear more fitting clothes :). To end off, here are a couple of fitted dresses in Lace And Buttons' upcoming collection which will be in-store soon!

Formal and Casual Fashion in Blue and White

Blue and white are two of my favorite colors as they are really soothing and pleasing to the eyes. Just imagine the beautiful blue sky and white clouds we see in Singapore on most days and I believe you will get what I mean.

I believe the blue and white color combination works really well in fashion too as many of us look pretty good in these gentle and cool colors. Below are a couple of recommendations which I will like to make from Lace And Buttons:

Formal Look:

Azure Halter Dress from Lace And Buttons 

It is nearing year end and many of us are likely to be invited to semi-formal/formal events be it wedding dinners, company functions or parties. This cute little cocktail number is suitable for such occasions at a really wallet friendly price! Definitely one of my favorite designs from our upcoming new collection :).

Casual Look:

Ribbon Sleeve Stripe Dress from Lace And Buttons

This Korean-inspired cotton dress is my pick for a relax day out on the weekend as I really love the tie-able ribbon cut-out details at the sleeves as well as the classic stripe design on the skirt. The top part of the dress has a loose fit cutting so it is also comfortable to wear on a sunny day!

Hope you like both the formal and casual looks in this post as much as I do! Will be posting more designs in our upcoming collection soon so do keep a look-out!

Life is Like A Box of Chocolate - Sweet Treats at Awfully Chocolate!

Last night, my husband and I re-watched the movie, "Forest Gump" on a DVD bought in USA many years ago. Like what Forest Gump said and experienced in this inspirational movie, life can indeed be "like a box of chocolates" as we can never fully predict what the future has in store for us.

What I do know is that I have found a place I can always go to when my sweet tooth acts up! Recently, we have been getting our chocolate fix at Awfully Chocolate, a cafe specializing in chocolate desserts. And here are what we had ordered for the past few weeks whenever we made a visit:

Hazelnut Crumble with Hei Ice Cream

Cold Poached Chocolate

Chocolate Tart

Salted Butterscotch Brownie

White Chocolate Butterscotch Cake

Hot Chocolate Drink with Dark Chocolate Truffle

If you like chocolate desserts which are not too sweet and extremely rich in flavor, the chocolate treats at Awfully Chocolate should be suitable for your taste! Although the range to choose from is quite small, we believe that the quality of the desserts make up for the limitation in choices.

To end off, here are a few pictures of my OFTD:
