Last week, I had the chance to join the LOL Talk Show filming again. And this time's filming is all about fashion!
Marcus AC had his special guest - Sharon Lim, the Editor-in-Chief of ELLE Singapore. She has her 20 years’ of extensive experience in newspaper and magazine work. Imagine my R.E.S.P.E.C.T. for her! She's totally holding my dream job!
A little something I Googled on Sharon for you...
She is no stranger to ELLE — she joined as a Features Writer in 1993 when it launched in Singapore, and was the magazine’s Deputy Editor from 1996 to 1999.
Helming ELLE since October 2004, Sharon’s vision of ELLE taps into the city’s dynamic, progressive buzz without forgetting its strong Asian roots. The result is a sexy, stylish and spirited ELLE that is uniquely Singaporean and supportive of local talent — yet undeniably global in its outlook.
Sharon is also a regular face on TV and radio. She has appeared on Channel News Asia, the regional English-language news TV channel where she is a featured expert on fashion, beauty, lifestyle and women’s issues. She can also be heard on The ELLE Beauty Spot, a segment on all things beauty-related on Class 95, Singapore’s top radio station.
In addition, Sharon has written occasional columns for TODAY, a free daily newspaper published by MediaCorp, the publisher of ELLE in Singapore and as a pop culture addict, Sharon’s personal projects include a movie script, book project and mentoring teenagers interested in the fashion business — Sharon has been a board member of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts’ (NAFA) fashion faculty since 2006.
The clothes you see here are all by my fav clothing brand - Forever21!
Sharon had just came back from Paris Fashion Week and she already learnt about the upcoming Fall/Winter fashion trends. Something that she said really inspired me. As long as we have the confidence, even pairing checkers with flowers prints can be a fashion style too. You have to own the clothes!
Sharon shared that the fashion scene now sees alot of people holding tablet sleeves as bags. Either coz they do have a tablet inside or it works as a clutch as well. Big bags are a disadvantage when attending fashion shows.
These high cut sneakers are also a must have for this season, and to be specific is those with platform base or a hidden elevated sole for the sporty on the go look, but with hidden height to lengthen your legs. These are some of the little tips. Be sure to catch LOLToggle for more...
Sharon modelling with the clutch to show us how versatile it can be.
Thank you Sharon, And then, we hadLinda Teo, Managing Director of Carrie Models International and Carrie Elegance.
The lady behind the making of alot of local famous models, Vivien Ong for example.
Linda brought along a contestant of the Toggle Network six part reality series, ‘Models Reinvented’ to share with us more about modelling and psst, she's on the lookout for models who are in the range of 35 years old!
Linda was so inspiring, telling us girls all about empowerment and it all boils down to confidence. A girl really has to love herself, gain confidence and naturally you can be a "model" too! You really must watch this episode! Linda is simply so adorable and of course with Judee, the show's hilarious!
Game time!
And last but not least, we hadSiti Zahidah for a short interview and she then performed her popular song "Far Away" for us. She was the "Champion of 987fm The Next Big Thing" and I'm a secret fan of her. You got to hear her voice to believe me...
She's so pretty right?!
Took a pic with Siti and Judee before I left.
Wana join LOL for their last 3 filming?
Don't forget to RSVP to attend LOL's Live Recording and experience a night of laughter and insights to many other things women and girls would love!
P.S: LOL Live Recording is only for females.
Spot me in this picture! After every session, there's a "class photo" moment. Sweet right?
Last weekend, we saw the unveiling of the winner of the Cleo Runway Search 2012 at the Audi Fashion Festival. Alongside professional models and Cleo Bachelor hunks, the finalists did a show-off for the ultimate win of one-year modeling contract with Carrie Models, $1,000 worth of products from Levi's, $1,000 cash prize and a six-page fashion spread in CLEO.
There was an island-wide search for the next runway star aims to promote local talent in search for a fashion-forward girl who possesses the looks, personality and tenacity to be a top-model and CLEO provides young women with a platform to showcase their talent and personality. At the same time, reinforcing the importance of self-confidence and a healthy body image.
“CLEO wants to challenge all the young women in Singapore to do extraordinary things. We’re encouraged by the immense response we’ve had for the casting event as well as the talent we’ve found this year, and we’re confident you’ll be seeing a lot more of them after the CLEO Runway Search,” said Cheong Kamei, Editor of CLEO Singapore.
Thanks to Cleo, I had the opportunity to run backstage and check out how a runway show is prepared. There was a lot of rushing around, but not till the state of chaos. Covering the whole backstage, I learnt a few tricks myself... :)
M.A.C. was the official makeup for Audi Fashion Festival and I met up with Sara Jaz, my fav makeup artist, backstage
