A Modern and Chic Muse
6:53:00 PM
During the festive season such as
Raya, there are days when you just want to throw on a relaxed and casual outfit.
Today, however, you can still have a relaxed and casual look while making a statement too!. Determined to make a bold, yet subtle
statement, I decided to pair this black Carina top and Vela skirt (both from aere) with a light pink shawl topped off with a black and gold belt to show the world that I am
ready for them. That I mean business.
To me, Raya is not just about
wearing kurungs and kebayas. There is nothing wrong with
being a little creative for Raya. Is it common? Maybe not.
But it’s comfortable and adds a little funk and variety!
The colour combination Black,
Gold and peach pink of this OOTD is, amongst others, inspired a little by the
Modern Muse Chic from Estee Lauder.
Estee Lauder is one of my
favourite fragrances. I blogged about the Modern Muse perfume last year here. (http://www.rnadia.com/2014/07/the-scent-of-modern-muse-be-inspiration.html)
and I am excited for the Modern Muse Chic. This July 2015, Estee Lauder will be
introducing the Modern Muse Chic, a new fragrance that blends in two
contrasting scents: Vivid Florals and Ebony Woods! I really, really just can’t
wait.
But what does modern muse mean
and what does it entail?
To me - a Modern Muse is a
strong-willed woman, who knows what she wants and she is deeply confident in
her own capabilities. She is also inspirational, someone people look up to.
However, she is also soft-spoken and feminine.
This is something I also try to
represent in the designs that I make for my label aere and the clothes that I
wear. I think we should embrace
modernity and be creative, daring and a little bold in our appearances - but
always stay true to your own self and style.
Estee Lauder has retained Arizona
Muse as their Muse (hehe) for this new perfume, and they have made an excellent
choice as I have explained in my post last year (see the
Scent of Modern Muse / Be an Inspiration).
The perfume’s appearance itself
is very, very stylish and chic. I love the little navy bow and the gold-toned
studs which adds a very creative touch. But the fragrance is a twist and
different from the Modern Muse perfume. I just can’t get over how the two
contrasting scents work so well together - truly capturing the essence of the
strong yet feminine side of a woman.
The Modern Muse Chic will be
available July 2015. In the meantime, there’s a contest for you to win the
