Bell & Ross party
My dress was made for me by Sonny Son ![]()
Last Thursday was a proud day for Malaysian brands KLutched and AirAsiaX,
as they collaborated to host an intimate soiree at Paris Fashion Week!
I was invited along to fly with the team and cover it…
but i had to turn it down cos of Clem’s birthday.
I know some are going to say it’s a stupid thing to do,
and Clem even asked me to go for it.
But i knew in my heart i’d feel awful for abandoning him last min to plan his party alone,
plus it’s not like he’s got any family in KL to ease the birthday blues.
And i know myself.
I’ve done this before, where i choose myself over someone,
and i feel really bad about it after.
I love fashion. But i love Clem more
Anyway i promised the team i’d blog about the party they organised,
and it’s truly worth a full blogpost cos it’s so great to see Malaysian brands that we’re so proud of being introduced to Parisians!
The party was held in Molotov PolitBar,
a Russian-themed vodka bar in fierce red decor – perfect with AirAsia’s own identity!
Molotov PolitBar is owned by fashion model Anna Sinkovska
(pictured below holding a KLutched bag)
Malaysian singer/DJ Melissa Indot flew there as well to provide the music!
She spun for the night, and sang two new songs from her upcoming album.
The party was to bring to attention the new weekly Paris-KL route available on AirAsiaX,
as well as the exotic and exquisite bags KLutched produces!

The night ended with a lucky draw, where 2x KLutched bags and 2x Return AirAsiaX tickets for the new Paris-KL route were given out.
The 2 peeps who won the tix from Paris to KL and back were a model, and Hamid Berchiri, a photographer for Vogue.
Isn’t it great to know more people see Malaysia in a flattering way?!
I know i do! I’m always excited to tell people where to go and what to do/eat when they come here.
Here’s to hoping there’ll be more collaborations in the future!

It was a pretty massive do, in a ballroom with lots of canapes and bubbly going around.
Maybe Guess is trying to make a comeback.
Or remind us that they’re still around.
Cos i can’t remember the last time i bought something from Guess…
Oh wait i do.

Guess flew Shontelle to perform at the event.
Tho i have to admit… i wasn’t very sure who Shontelle was… (sorry R&B fans! >.<)
But i ain’t gonna pretend if i don’t know any of her songs!
Niki + Alex
Ravin + Khoon Hooi
The night was crazier than i expected…
people started dancing on the runway.
I tried to remember the hip hop moves Kevin taught me years ago, but failed.
Swear i danced for a good half hour tho!
I’m not… a fan of hip hop.
Clem is.
But i’m not, really.
I like listening to some songs.
But i can only take a few at a go.
OH. I used to LOVE hip hop back in the 90s… with Mary J. Blige and Coolio’s Gangsta’s Paradise.
But i don’t know how to layan it now.
Plus i discovered other genres i can’t tear myself away from!
Wow i completely lari topic and blabbed away
A sign that i’m stressed out!
Have heaps of work to finish up before my flight on Sat morn,
haven’t started packing yet,
and we just got word that the airport in Paris is closed today due to the snow!
GAH i hope it’s fine this weekend!
Thanks to HANGER for featuring Leftblock in their AW10 issue!
Loveeeee
And thanks for asking us to spin select songs for the first set during the party last weekend!
me + Chelle
I told SarChan that i felt like i was cheating on her as i picked songs for the set.
She retorted that she had to let me continue and live the dream -_-
I twisted these H&M stockings and tied them up into a headband.
Due to their psychedelic colour, i’ve dubbed them my Paddle Pop stockings.
And weirdly enough, have been craving rainbow Paddle Pop since then!
Chelle is wearing Leftblock Neon Orange Slip
I’m wearing the Leftblock Salmon Tail Cape.
silver shorts; raoul
white tank; zara
I love wearing the cape when there’s wind!
Makes me feel like batman.

I was incredibly late for the Le Midi launch
cos i had my French class till 8:30 (still being diligent for that!)
and dropped by the Thirst preview for an hour.
Le Midi is a new restaurant in BSC, across House + Co.
I can’t say anything about their food since i didn’t try any,
so i’ve linked some food bloggers who DO have something to say about it at the bottom of this post.
They’ve got jellyfish which are undeniably pretty as part of the wall’s deco,
and i couldn’t help feeling sorry for the jellyfish
even though i googled to make sure that they don’t have any feelings ![]()
TunkuNadia was spinning!

Kevin Yeoh, why are you playing with the strings?
Oh, it was my idea you say?
Cheese to accompany my wine made me stay even longer.
I’m a sucker for cheese.
SmallSerena + Mathieu
Then is was Matt’s or Tubby’s brilliant idea to balance the flowers on their heads. ![]()
And then we all started doing it (it was quite difficult!)
Serena cheated!

Okay, so i was really late for the Topshop event.
In fact, i missed the entire show!
But i tried to catch some of it, i really did,
ran out of French class 30 minutes before it was due to be over,
and rushed to KLCC.
I didn’t want to skip my French class entirely cos hey, i pay for it.
Even though it sometimes feel like a chore to go for classes,
it’s different being a student when you’re an adult!
Anyway i managed to show face,
snap a few pictures,
and view the massive queue inside the store which dissuaded me from buying anything (sorry i can’t take long queues!)
