Butik Chenta Lunar: Lengkapi Gaya di Hari Raya

 Assalamualaikum & hi all! 💕

Have you guys bought your baju raya already? 

Beli sikit2 dulu?

Yeah, I pun... Sikit2 lama2 jadi bukit, right! 😉

Baju raya menjadi satu perkara wajib bagi semua orang especially buat para wanita dan ibu-ibu yang teliti melengkapkan persiapan berhari raya buat keluarga. Bagi yang mencari kelainan untuk Aidilfitri tahun ini, BUTIK CHENTA LUNAR menawarkan konsep “Celestial In Style” buat semua. 

Colour Pallettes for your Raya

Preparing for raya is not just shopping.

It's also includes matching. 

Matching your outfits with le husband and kids; matching your handbag with your shoes; and match the colours of your outfit(s) with your tudungs, can be a difficult task too! ;p

I scroll thru the pinterest, and found some interesting and beautiful pallettes that can help us reduce the hassle of baju-tudung matching.

And here i listed some of my favourite combinations of colours and shades.

1. Red-earthy tones

Red is a very strong but beautiful colour.

If you wear red, toning it down with some earthy tone is the right choice.

Colours like beige or blush would be a perfect combo to red. 

Clothing Color Combinations Ideas

Starting Monday with a beneficial entry like this! Erm... I'm lovin' it!

  

Color coordinations & combinations is very important to me... Wearing the right outfits, with the right hijab, carrying the right handbag and then walk in the right shoes, it all matters to me! 

I don't want to be the centre of attractions with the wrong reason...

Oh one more thing, i don't prefer color blocking, but i would wear 'em once in a while...

My most favourite is pastel colors, and i would wear them often! 

Anyway, here's are some color combinations ideas i would like to share! 

I ranked them from my most favourite, to the least (but still favor)!

Pink to grayed jade

Pink & turquoise

#OOTD : Winter-spring in Seoul, Korea

What to wear for February/March Vacation in Seoul

(Winter-Spring)

Winter is almost over, and spring is coming.

However, as a Malaysian, who came from a non-typical four seasons country, light jacket is not enough 😄, 'cause Seoul can be chilly, the temperature can be around 0℃ to 9℃, which is still cold.

It's good to bring winter jacket with you while visiting Seoul in March.

As for me, I brought with me, two winter jackets 

Day 1

Top \\ Voir

Jacket \\ Universal Traveller

Jeans

Shoes \\ H&M (worn this throughout the trip)

Shawl \\ Waffaa

Bag \\ Miss T (Used this throughout the trip, too!)
