TiC Surf: Boudoir Crossing

The era of the pin-up girl was one filled with excitement and glamour. Sexuality was glamourized with ruby red lips and lacey corsets being all the rage. Focus was especially on the female bust, and ample cleavage was on display. It seems that the ‘boudoir’ look is making a comeback this Fall with lacey peek-a-boo bras, laced up corsets, and sheer netting being all the rage on the haute couture runways.

TiC Surf: Going Nude

Despite my love for black-white-gray palette, I’ve had a bit of trouble understanding the fuss over nude colours, especially this Spring/Summer season where the nude face is prevalent among sexy nude coloured heels, sheer tops, and so on. However I recently purchased my first pair of nude heels and slowly, I got hooked!

TiC Surf: Keeping It Comfy

Do you remember when skinny jeans were all the latest craze? It became a staple in many wardrobes, and even carried over to men’s fashion. I do love my skinnies greatly, but they’ve stayed at the back of my closet due to this heat wave we've been having in KL. I’m embracing the new trend now – wide legged comfy flowing pants that taper down.

TiC Surf: A Splash Of Summer Fun

As much as I complain about the Malaysian heat, I secretly adore the fact that we never have to wake up slightly earlier in the morning to check the weather forecast for the day and dress appropriately to brave the elements. Here our wardrobes consists of cute shorts, summer dresses and of course, a trusty pair of flip flops. Now with the heat wave apparently on until September, it’s time to embrace the fun, floral, flirty side of summer! This week, we’re going to be taking a look at the summer dresses for the season.

TiC Surf: Bows

Bows and ribbons are the epitome of femininity. This is one trend I definitely can never tire of. There’s just something so delicate and whimsical about bows in your hair, on your shoes, or around your waist – they work everywhere! Bows have made a strong comeback over the last year with high fashion brands parading them down the runways, no matter what the season. Click to view where you can get bow-inspired items online!

TiC Surf: Red & Black

The colour red has always been closely associated with feelings of love and passion. In fact, research has revealed that men are more attracted to women wearing red! Red oozes confidence and sex appeal. Tone that down with the distinct classiness of black and ladies, we have a winning combination!

The new Samsung Ultra Touch is not excluded, with its sleek black body and red keypad and detailing. With red and black being the theme at our upcoming Chic POP party, we've come up with some red and black options for you!

TiC Surf: Rocker Chick

When I think ‘rocker chick’ I think independent women, rock concerts, the Rolling Stones, black nails, heavy eyeliner, metal studs, ripped jeans, lots of leather and a hell of an attitude to match! The rocker chick look has been persistent this season on the runways, on fashion blogs, and even on the streets as well. Be careful not to go overboard though, in this case, less really is more, and no matter what ladies, keep it classy! Let’s take some of high fashion’s cues to turn this edgy look a little more chic.

TiC Surf: Neon Me Crazy

I've been a bit wary about neon colours making it back on the runway, as I'm strictly a gray-black-white-brown girl with the occasional splash of red. Bright neon waves of colour, as appealing as it may look on the models, may not look as good on me!

TiC Surf: Aboard The Marrakech Express

I'm sure any girl reading this knows about harem pants making it big on the fashion scene lately, along with silk scarves, flowing tunics, and headbands. It seems like the Moroccan look is in again ladies, something Style.com refers to as the "Marrakech Express". Let's take a look at some of the key looks of Spring/Summer 2009.

TiC Surf: Paint The Town Pink

Let's face it, most of us grew up in a Barbie world, colourfully painted in bright shades of pink and purple. I don't know about you ladies but my unhealthy obsession for pink has carried on way past my Barbie doll years, well into my teens and twenties in fact, so imagine my delight when stumbling across this article talking about how a simple pair of £9 hot pink heels are Primark's (discount retailer in the UK) hottest selling item. You can say pink is back, but really, it never left :)

TiC Surf: Getting A Leg Up

Let's face it, we can't fight it. Retro has been back in full swing, and along with it, leggings burst onto the fashion scene with gorgeous patterned hosiery - lace, argyle, rips, and more. Wave bye bye to nude legs - the decorated leg is here to stay!

TiC Surf: Colour Me Orange

Although the Fall/Winter season usually marks the end of a colourful, flirty Spring/Summer, it seems that colours are especially big this fall, a much welcome break from the monotony of gray, black and white. We just showed you how to gear up in green yesterday; and today we concentrate on orange.

TiC Surf: Taking The High Road

I don't know about you guys, but I for one am mighty glad that the low-riding jeans trend of the 90s has simmered down. After a decade of muffin tops and exposed G-strings, the high-waist which was once so popular in the 80s has been welcomed back with open arms. Take a look at some of the best local options we've scouted out just for you!

TiC Surf: Fairytales Do Come True

Prettiness is back with a difference as some designers in NYFW produce beautiful garments that would not look out of place in modern day fairytales. That includes every thing a 5-year-old would dress her Barbie in.

TiC Surf: Rompers

Rompers are fun! The idea of our childhood garments of choice being converted into flowy floral numbers or denim overalls is more than enough to evoke playful emotions. Lucky for us, designers gave us more rompers this season, which are easier to wear than the jumpsuit (which has a full pant leg).

TiC Surf: Pastel As Can Be

Baby pink, pale blue, lavender, seafoam green, light yellow, ivory. These are soothing pastel colours all on their own, but not so calming when you have to incorporate them into your wardrobe.

Tell that to our dear designers. For S/S 09, these that dictate fashion churned out pieces that pay homage to the colour family of soft and muted hues.

TiC Surf: Lace Is More

I bet the response onlookers had when they saw the first model walk at the Prada Fall 08 show was: "Whaaa-t?" It's kind of an inevitable response to whatever Miuccia Prada does each season, but even more so this time round because the prim dresses not only ended at knee-length, but also utilized a fabric that is challenging to pull off with taste - lace. Read on for where you can get your hands on some lace pieces to add to your wardrobe!
