Tuxedos for Kids

Tuxedos not only look great on grown men, little boys look amazingly dashing and cute in them too.

A girlfriend's sister is getting married in September and they are making sure that little boys in the family will be in tuxes at the dinner reception to be held in a hotel in the city.

The thing is, it's not easy to buy tuxedos off the shelf here so they may have to resort to buying them online. I think they have shortlisted a number of online stores but kids tuxedos from this website seem to have more choices both in designs and colours.

Sexy mini dresses

Passing by a textile store the other day, I was amazed at the prices. If you sew your own clothes, you would be having a blast at the choices and prices of textiles here in Malaysia. Buy some fabrics home and make some pretty clothes or things. But then again, shopping online for clothes can be cost-effective as well.

If you are looking for clothes particularly mini dresses, have I got the site for you! A great site to bookmark and the prices are a steal too. How would a $28 sexy mini dress grab you? Be amazed by the selection of sexiest mini dresses here on the site. Feel free to share it with your friends.

Always pack Swimwear..

I've often read that the one piece of clothing not to be missed when packing for a holiday is the swimwear or a pair of swimming trunks if you are a guy. Unless you don't swim, of course. Still.

I came across this website of a la blanca swimwear sale the other day and thought you might also be interested to keep the site in view for your next swimwear shopping.  Nice pieces they have.   If you are in the market for a swimwear, now's a good time to check it out to enjoy their great discounts.

The North Face jacket

Overheard a conversation between two friends, a man and a woman, the other day. The woman was asking the man about the weather in Sydney, Australia, as he had just returned from a three-month stay there visiting with his son and his family.

He said it was still cold when he was there even though it was Spring. He mentioned that if only he had bought one of those North Face jackets on sale for men when he had the chance.

Curious, I checked out the North Face website and found that there is a wide range of jackets there, definitely a site to bookmark for future reference.

What's your favorite season to travel?

Everyone has a favorite travel season. What's yours? For me, Winter is certainly not my favorite. The big turn-off is the cold and having to pack sweaters and thicker clothing taking up valuable space which could otherwise be used for souvenirs and other nice-to-haves. (LOL! The shopper in me talking..)

I can still remember the wind and the excruciating cold when I was in South Island, New Zealand. But then again, it was September so being late Winter, it was expected to be cold especially when we were at the Mount Cook National Park and the Franz Josef Glacier. A visit to Mount Cook National Park is not to be missed if you travel to New Zealand.

Fun and Stylish Prom Dresses

October is upon us and the school year is fast coming to an end. Year-end finals are also fast approaching and soon, it'll be the end of another school year. Schools here finish the school year late November and the year-end break will be for a good seven weeks before the new school year begins again early January.

The year-end schedule for schools is usually filled with some fun activities including a concert, prize-giving ceremony, school fair, excursions and for the graduating classes, Prom night. Around this time, each graduating student especially girls would be busy scouting around for their prom dress. Ahh...memories..

Best Dressed at the Oscars

Anyone watched the Oscars? There were some surprise winners this year. Unfortunately, Avatar did not win the Best Picture award.

The part of the Oscars I like to watch is the red carpet segments. Clothes, of course. These are the better dresses this year. I think there wasn't anyone with a way-out outfit.

I'd say they are all urban clothing at their designer best.

Scrubs as Casual Wear

In recent years, scrubs have gained acceptance as an item of casual dress outside of hospitals such as for use as pajamas, workout clothing or loungewear.  Backpackers sometimes use them in an effort to reduce weight load. Now, isn't that an idea for travelling light.

Unlike regular clothes, scrubs are not really an item we can easily get off the shelves but visit Scrubs and Beyond online, you will find available a wide selection of scrubs, uniforms and other kinds of wear for use in healthcare services. They even have Grey's Anatomy scrubs. But for now, let's just concentrate on the Koi brand.

Koi is one of the better brands in the market for medical-wear. You can find koi scrubs,  koi scrub pants, koi uniforms and others at ScrubsandBeyond.com

We all know that scrubs worn in surgery are almost always colored solid light green, light blue or a light green-blue shade, although some medical centers have switched to pink as a theft deterrent. But these days, scrubs come in many different patterns and colors just like those of Koi's. No wonder scrubs have now become casual wear and for travelling. Look at how nice and modern they are.

Last-minute Shopping for the Chinese New Year

Malls are bustling with shoppers this time of the year, doing their last-minute shopping for clothes and other items for the Spring festival or the Chinese New Year. The streets around Chinatown are a challenge to navigate this time of the year. Still a visit to that part of Kuala Lumpur makes for a good experience.

Each year, a girlfriend of mine would do lots of shopping including buying clothes for her nieces before she goes home for the celebration. Having been in the US for a number of years, she often compares the brands available overseas and what we have here. She said somehow the clothes overseas are of better quality and there are more choices. Not only clothes, there are more quality toys over there.

Just the other day, I was going through some toys and children's clothes site and came across some interesting finds. There is this online store that has a good range of jellycat plush soft toys and activity books that will surely broaden a child's horizons.

There is also a wide selection of children's clothes, some even organic, including brands like barefoot dreams, room seven, appaman, tea collection and more. They are clearing winter stock currently which could mean substantial savings for shoppers who buy now.

1Malaysia batik - new designs

Nice new improved batik designs for 1Malaysia, don't you think? Red and white. Reminds me of AirAsia. But then again, red and white is a pleasant combination on almost anything, including clothes. Looks like a good outfit to add to your wardrobe especially this Chinese New Year.


With our tropical weather, batik is a practical alternative to wearing a suit for official functions. It is a good idea to have a piece or two, just in case.

These are created by Kraftangan Malaysia and there is a choice of seven designs to choose from.

Have You Laughed Today?

I like funny. I like humour. But you already know that. (Which reminds me, I have not been posting jokes lately.) I have been told that I could tell jokes with a straight face. Yeah, and most of them are not for kids. Oops! I am bad!

Laughter is good. Laughter is the best medicine - a little cliched but research has shown that laughter can make an ill person well or at least feel better physically. Laughing makes use of less facial muscles than frowning. Did you know that?

It is not difficult to make yourself and others smile or laugh. You don't even have to crack a joke or talk. These funny t shirts can just do the trick. They would surely bring out a chuckle or two wherever you go.
