JEZMINE SEND'S A BIG LOVE TO CHICTOPIA TOO....

www.chictopia.com

Dearest Chictopia, I was soo happy for the e-mail, thank you soo soo much!
Although I don't have an account, I'll set up one soon...
Again, thanks for the invite, lovely email and stopping by on my blog!
Hugs from Malaysia.. to the HQ of Chictopia in USA!

P.S: Apart from that,Old Blossom wil be participating with Malaysia's very own Tongue In Chic very soon...


Apart from that, happy 15th anniversary, Marie Claire Malaysia... though Im no longer with the magazine... This is the second last edition which still features my work, from the Fashion Ten Best page, Fashion Expresses pages, Fashion Legend on Sophia Loren, 101 styling pages, my Fall/Winter 10 Trend Report and Shopping pages. Not to forget the styling & wardrobe coordination for this year's selected women of style & substance of Marie Claire...

1 year working for the magazine was an eye opener in the Malaysian fashion industry, and I learnt alot. It was a dream come true. Flicking through magazines since I was young, this job was a dream come true. And I thank my Editor for taking me in, and seeing me pass the 'scarf clad girl' , and trusting me with the fashion section... And truthfully speaking, being a 'scarf clad girl' in the fashion industry wasn't easy, so thank you Mindy Teh for believing in me. Alhough it saddens me to part with it, I had to choose what I really wanted to do in the future, so I had to let go of this... may there be many happy years for Marie Claire & the team!

With Izuria love!!!!

Loves of my life, these are my true true bestfriends that you guys dont normally see on the blog (apart from Baby, coz she's always on my blog), because we jarang jumpa/especially me (around 1-4 times a year kut...) Anna, Mimye & Lyanna... the one that is missing from the picture? IFA!!!

I absolutely love Anna, Mimye, Lyanna & Ifa, coz we went through a lot during our Masscomm diploma days, going on/off busses to sec 2/stadium/sg.wang, walking a lot and moaning/wishing we had cars. Late night sleeps at the hostel. Fights during group work. Sleepless nights at the cc's in sec2. Going to sec2 at night just to buy nasi lemak, then masuk UiTM balik... Each others 'bank' when one of us is dry. Sharing baju, bags to shoes. They are my 911 (apart from my Mum & Kay) Everything, all the susah payah bersama-sama. *Guys, eventhough Im always and forever too busy to lepak, I love you!!!

Tag me in Facebook, so that I could post it here!

Thank you lagi....... and thanks for buying/shopping at the booth, hoped you guys loved your buys....

Tonight, as usual updates at OLD BLOSSOM BOX, at 8PM.... Only a few pieces though, from accessories to clothes, Im adding a few rare items, and things Ive kept for special updates, and because Im super happy, and with the super encouragement from *Carol Love*, Im releasing some today.... I was having mixed feeling if I should update or not, coz Im super tired... but she gave me a good push... Thanks Carol... And I feel bad for postponing, coz I've written it on the blog already...
