TiC Tock, New On The Block
Fashion moves fast and so does the arrival of collections and products in the market. Here are some snippets on what's new out there this month :)
Massimo Dutti: AW 2008/09
Massimo Dutti takes you through all stages of winter by decking you in soft shades of pink with touches of watercolour floral print, frills and lace in "New Romantic”, to a combination of fluidly-structured garments. Aqueous colours, natural tones and embroidered metals dominate “Waterline" named to represent the line where land meets sea as summer meets winter.
“
Meanwhile, “Soft Winter Collection” has central European nostalgia, and as usual Massimo Dutti opts for natural fabrics with rich embroideries such as wasted cottons, microprints in silk georgette, and wrinkled-effect fabrics.
Massimo Dutti is available at:

Pull and Bear: Fall/Winter 2008
This winter, country-romanticism and a nostalgic sense of global heritage and ancestry meets the 21st century in all its cosmopolitanism. Quoting Venezuelan folk rocker Devendra Banhart as the perfect backing track for next season, Pull and Bear has come up with "Folk Spirit" - a collection inspired by the ancient cultures of the world.
See lots of: tribal motifs, cross-stitching, and straight-cut square necks. "70's Romance" presents the hippy look ala Eastern Europe, while "Country Life" evokes the American Far West with uniform-like navy blues and corduroy, frills, neckties and checks, cow-boy style.
However, to appease the sportier side of the Pull and Bear Girl, the collection also includes the deconstructed graphic T, polyester jackets, low-slung straight legs, and LOTS of denim.

Estée Lauder: “Blockbuster” Makeup Artist Professional Color Collection
I remember last year when my girl friend and I went nuts over Estée Lauder's limited edition collection that came in gold traveling cases. It was such a bargain and the colours have done me much make up justice.
This year’s limited edition Professional Makeup Artist Collection comes with its customary beautiful profusion of colours to create any look you need, in a stylish faux-leather crocodile casing. It includes a complimentary cosmetic traveller and companion makeup case and (wait for it) is worth RM 1,800 but retails at only RM 220 with any purchase of RM 230 or more at Estée Lauder.
The new “Blockbuster” is available at your nearest Estée Lauder counter.
