paper doll-ing with jaspal.

last saturday i attended the jaspal fashion workshop organised by 1utama, one card and jaspal. it was held at 11am and i got to bring a guest to the event and obviously the guest was none other than bills the bilis, my lil sister.


we reached there on time. after registering ourselves, the sales assistant handed over the goodie bags (contained few jaspal's catalogues and a rm50 cash voucher to be spent later) to us and invited us to savour ourselves with arrays of cakes, garlic breads and wafers. while waiting for the event to start, we feasted our eyes with their latest collection.




a little bit about jaspal, it was originated from thailand and has been in the industry since 1972. they have 30 stores throughout thailand and their first oversea store in malaysia was launched at the pavilion kl in june 2008. and as of to date, jaspal has expand its wing to 3 other shopping malls in malaysia - 1utama, midvalley and sunway pyramid.

selalu jugak i masuk jaspal tapi tak pernah nak beli apa-apa sebab either the price tag doesn't suit my wallet or takde yang berkenan. tapi the first reason adalah selalunya penyebab utama. hehe.. anyway, nowadays memang jarang beli baju baru.. uhuhuu.. kesian gila.

so, the chance to be at the fashion workshop was like a golden opportunity for me. biasalah.. orang tak pandai pasal fashion. if you wanna compare my fashion sense dengan my 3 other sisters, i'm always the one behind time. yes, i was the un-trendy sister.

so, after half an hour browsing thru their new collection, the store manager (i think), annie made an opening speech and welcomed the guest of honour, peter lum, a celebrity fashion stylist (read more about him, here!) to elaborate more about the latest fashion tips, do's and don'ts and what not!


amongst the thing that he stressed out - yang mana i boleh ingat la yeh - was; not to be a fashion victim by selalu nak cuba apa yang good on others because the stuff that always good on others is not necessarily good on you. we must also respect our body since human being were born with different kinda body shapes eg if you've a pear-shaped body, you shouldn't act as if you're an hour-glass and vice versa. by doing so, you're not only look horrible but it shows that you didn't respect and appreciate your body. so, in order to always look good without trying very hard, you must know which category of body shape you fall into and dress yourself accordingly.


after the half an hour discussion, the store manager challenged us with a makeover competition! the prize for the winner (2 pairs of winners) were cash vouchers worth rm100 each! ha.. masa ni bills the bilis dah excited nak participate and we volunteered ourselves - one act as customer, and the other one is the stylist. together with 4 other pairs of contestants, we were given the task to style our partner with anything in jaspal ikut topik yang dibincangkan before that, to style according to your body shape. we had only half an hour to do so!

and disebabkan i'm the one who obviously need help in styling, i pon jadi customer, bills the bilis jadi my stylist. so, both of us carik la apa yang patut and went to the fitting room to try them on. wah! we enjoyed it so much! rasa macam main paper dolls masa kecik-kecik dulu.. haha!

and so, when everyone dah ready, the 'customers' kena catwalk from the entrance to the counter to strut our look and peter & annie would judge us from the catwalk and the rationale from the 'stylists' on why we were dressed like that.

and these were the outcome.. sila jangan muntah. tapi kalau tak tahan nak muntah jugak, off je lah komputer tu.. hehe..





all in all it was a good experience for me! but i've got this strong feeling that my fashion sense would still be the same sebab money sense adalah masih di tahap yang sama. hahaha!

and bills the bilis, just reserve the comments to yourself will ya? *wink! wink!*
