2012, year of the Dragon

In a few weeks’ time, we’ll be waving goodbye to the year of the Rabbit and welcoming the year of the Dragon in 2012.

The arrival of spring spells… the need for new clothes!

According to traditional custom (and our womanly shopping excuses), it’s a must to wear brand new clothes and shoes to celebrate the coming of a new year and it’s preferable to wear clothing or accessories in red (bright shades of orange/pink will do too).

Have you done your shopping yet? Place your order (and make payment) by 15 Jan in order to receive your new clothes in time to celebrate the year of the dragon! Enjoy these recommendations:


Breezy Orange Cape Dress

Back by popular demand! A great choice for the new year if you’re uncertain of what to wear. It’s not too revealing plus it’s brightly coloured. Deck out in style this new year and wear bright orange to please the elders.


Red Trenchdress

Prefer a more versatile piece that you can wear everyday even after the festive season? Pick this practical number, wear it on 初一 and for work, thereafter!


Cleopatra Roses Dress

Prefer a dressy version of CNY pick? Opt for this dress (in bright pink/orangey red, quite hard to depict the colour in words or through pictures). You can even wear this to dinners and parties.


Fall Balloon Sleeves Top

Not a dress person? Deck out in this red top in style and class. Pair it with light grey or navy bottoms. It’ll be nice to opt for a pair of red heels.


Exquisite Lace Dress

If your family is not so particular on colours, lucky you. Get feminine and fashionable in this piece with laced sleeves which is not too warm yet chic.


Multi-Colours Scarf

Already decided on a white dress? Add some bright colours to it with this bright scarf. This is also a great piece for tying to your bag to brighten it up.

 


Crystal earrings

Don’t forget to accessorize! Opt for a classy piece like crystal earrings with shimmering crystals and colourful gems.

p.s: Receive a cute CNY orange paper bag to contain your mandarin oranges with purchase of $88 or more
