Envy Magazine (coming soon)



Coming soon, I'm looking foward for this magazine, its local. The cover looked very interesting and I quite like the concept... we just wait and see...

Name:
envy magazine.
Type:
Entertainment & Arts - Fashion
Description:
envy magazine bridges high-luxe with the simpler things in life, packaged in a very rich and graphic-laden tome.

Released monthly, envy magazine zooms in on the female readers [and certain male counterparts], with contents that are approached in a different and more comfortable feast for ones eyes and mind, setting it completely apart from other local fashion and lifestyle magazines in the market. An alternative attitude is injected to make envy magazine, in a way, amusing and brand new, putting fashion in a less uptight light. It is like wearing a designer dress in the middle of a mosh-pit of a rock concert if you will; still preserving the standard of high-fashion labels, yet maintaining the excitement of the ever-changing ‘cool’. As the cliché goes along the lines of: it isn’t the outfit that makes you, it is you who completes the whole outfit.

envy magazine’s articles are simple and cut the corners; they test the senses in more ways than one, forcing certain curiosity in readers to explore for themselves. As an example: short of mediocre reviews of music and film, envy magazine will instead delve into the lives of musicians and celebrated filmmakers. Gone are the common restaurant and technology reviews, and in with envy magazine’s non-conformist, storytelling-style brand of articles.

envy magazine’s fresh flavour is one that can be savoured by individuals in most income brackets, because in envy magazine, great taste essentially means impeccable style, which is not only possible if one is decked head-to-toe in expensive labels or if one only dines haute-cuisine. A person with exceptional taste for life should be of the more adventurous kind; willing to mix styles – be it a thrift store find or a couture piece… someone who risks being more fashionable than the already fashionable lot.

envy magazine is streamlined, smart, sexy and ‘subtly in-your-face’.

Very useful tips from Suzie Adnan

I just got back from Koh Samui.. event this is my 3rd time backpacking to the island... i always enjoyed the trips... this time I went with my backpacking new members, Ibnu, Jaja, Min, Jack and my darling Aby. But before we went there, our favourite fashion writer's, Suzie Adnan, gave us a very useful tips for us. I always have my own lists to bring, but Suzie's make sure all of us not forget thing's that really important. So for those who going to go holiday to island, I think this lists are very useful... ehehhh ;)


22 Things To Bring To Koh Samui by Suzie Adnan

Hey superstars! (or should I say Sawadekap!) ...I might not be joining the Koh Samui roadtrip, but here's a checklist of neccessities to bring - which, I made especially for you guys. Have fun, be safe, XOXO!

1. Passport.

2. Tickets or booking reference numbers; airport transfers and transportations. (Put away some extra cash for that!)

3. Money (changed in Baht) & credit card.

Current currency shows RM10 equals to 102 Baht. Don’t complicate your head and keep in mind: 100 Baht = RM10.

4. Mobile phone & charger. Top-up extra credit!

5. Bring camera, the batteries & extra memory cards if possible.

6. Make sure luggage easy to identify. Put tags or tie a ribbon.

7. To kill time during long journey, bring card games (Yes, Jack – I’m referring this to you)… and books, to those who wants to pull that ‘travel-in-style’ look. And of course, iPod/MP3 …whatever you kids nowadays are calling it.

8. Panadol, minyak angin etc. Like how Min likes to put it, “Shit happens.” …and Jaja, bring your inhaler EVERYWHERE you go.

9. Sun screen SPF 35++ …unless you opt for tanned bikini line. Which can be cool.

10. Super cool shades… Wayfarers and all.

11. Toothbrush & toothpaste. Do you realize, nowadays very rarely hotels provide toothpaste???

12. Facial wash & moisturizers to sooth away the sun burn. Basic makeup kit & sanitary pads for girls.

13. A small bottle of shampoo. Trust me, this is very important.

14. Pack up your bikinis & speedos… ;)

15. Undies – enough for 5 days!

16. SSFF = “Sacred Suzzee Fashion Formula”. Do the maths!

“5 days, 4 nights” means 9 looks all together… 5 easy pieces for the day; and 4 cozy clothes (like sweatshirt plus scarves) for chilly nights!

Wearing the same jeans or shorts several times is forgivable. But reusing foul smelling, sweaty t-shirts? A definite no-no.

Cover your head from the sun! Either floppy hat, fisherman hat, scarves etc. But please, in the photos I dare to see any kind of baseball cap visible.

One of the clothes should be a bit dressier. Maybe there’s a hip club or a fine dining restaurant with a dress code. Get wasted with enormous amout of glam and style.

…all wrinkle-free please.

17. A small towel - for wet emergencies and hygiene reasons.

18. Flip flops for the beach & comfortable shoes preferrably sneakers for the Amazing-Race-scene-like journey.

19. Plastic bags to stash away worn clothes.

20. Bring extra shoulder bag (big & easy-to-fold), in case you guys over-shopped.

21. Remember to put aside 500 Baht (RM50) for airport tax. Just so you know, I don’t know how to wire money to international banks.

22. Last but not least, a souvenir for me ;) …and Mean Min!

'Night in London'





Lately, I don't really watch Hindi movie, but last week I stayed late, I can't sleep.. then I switch my tv channel to RTM2... Suddently, on the screen, its appeared a big word of 'Night in London'... it's really attracted me, because its was an old Hindi movie in 60's. Whut really interest me, not about the story, but about the actress, she's so classy and fashionable... the movie remind me of Malaysian old movie called "Nora Zain"... very adventurous and suspend.. lots of action... but the best part.. event she's been thru lots of trouble... run into the mud and jungle with white dresses, but the hair and the dress still looked clean and neat!.. ahahahhhhahh... I event captured with my camera few scenes from the movie, but unfortunately, my camera out of battery, i missed to capture her gorgeous bag, her beautiful Sari, her vintage trench coat and shoes... (argghhh... )

I Love Kirsten Dunst!!! (Miu Miu spring/summer 2008 ad campaign)








Kenapa la comel sgt minah nih??? I love her style but not her acting.. ehehhh. But I think this ad campaign are really cute, she's a perfect choice for Miu Miu. Inspired being by French maids, ballerinas and with cabaret setting, I think its BRILLIANT. These Prada's little sister's, Miu Miu is one of my fashion inspiration, love the collections... (I want the sunglasses, its really beautiful!)

Hi All!!!

Hi All!!!

How are you doing??? Hermm dunno whut to start la... I have a lots of thing to say, to share, but I'm not really good in writting, serious... (macam mana yerk?? kalau tak, dah lama I jadi Editor... ahhahahh... rojak lahh ok... ) This will be a new start for Pattern Blogzine... Why 'blogzine'??... Just like my promotion campaign, i did 'catalogzine' to market my products... I think its easier... senang nak faham, playfull, tak boring, not only you can see the products, but also can see my design works and to share any info that I collected, read & found about design, fashion, music.. etc.
Btw since few weeks ago, Pattern are busy at bazaar events. A lots of our stuffs, are out of stock. Even now our online purchasing still under construction (sorry for that), for moment I have to run this business alone, so many orders, and still waiting for the new stocks, and in the same time I have a lots of project needs to be done... really looking foward to find a good candidates to assist me to take order and update Pattern myspace (intrested... anyone??).
Hope with this blog, I can share my ideas, experience, knowledge with all of you. Don't hesitate to give any comment, because I know, there is a lots of things for Pattern to be improve. Need your support and I really appreciate that. Till then, have good day!

Cheers
Gune
