ADV: The White Date + Photos
August 16th, 2009
last weekend was my all-white weekend — i wore all-white outfits for three days in a row just cos i felt like it.
#1 Friday -
white pleated skirt worn as dress – Reiss, London
faux crocskin clutch – Jaspal, Bangkok
matte silver heels – Enzo Angiolini
#2 Saturday -
white tank top – MNG
white high waist shorts – Agnes B
white shirt with ribbon collar, tucked in – Zara
white bag – Michael Kors
silver zip-up heels – Pedro
#3 Sunday –
white cotton bubble dress – Stradivarius, Barcelona
leather half-caged shoes – Pedro
leather + canvas satchel – Far East Plaza, Singapore
bangles – gifts from friends
hahaha i know this shot is so unglam — i was getting sien of posing for pictures — but i thought it looked quite funny, so here it is anyway :P
white’s my favorite color to dress in and play with. most days i like to wear simple white tops and jazz them up with scarves or jewelry, and each time i go shopping for bags, i always gravitate towards the white ones even though they get dirty so easily. i don’t, however, have nearly enough pairs of white shoes — but despite my severe lack of white footwear, i’ve been chosen as one of the Darlie White Bloggers.
and so this post is about the White Date Contest that Darlie is organizing. it’s a girls-only game (sorry guys! no luxury bag for you!) that simulates the steps to getting ready for a date — such as choosing a dress, getting your hair done, and putting on make-up. this game is played entirely online, either on their website or on Facebook.
there are 7 tasks to be completed over a 14-day span, and every day a new task will be opened up to you. to win the competition and the All Shiny White Girl title, all 7 tasks must be completed. points are awarded for creativity, and bonus points can be won if the Special Tasks are completed.
great prizes are up for grabs – the All Shiny White Girl herself stands to win a white luxury bag that is worth up to RM 5,000. totally my kind of prize! the bag i would pick if i won:
the white quilted Chanel classic :)
other prizes up for grabs are:
white iPhones, white Sony VAIOs and white Sony MP3 Players
so what are these tasks that have to be compeleted? the one that has to be done everyday is virtually brushing your virtual teeth!
then you choose a lovely white dress befitting of your white date, and upload the photo onto their website. i am torn between:
1. a simple white tube dress from Shoshanna, with a felt bow belt
2. a wispy Jill Stuart empire dress
3. chic and neat ruched dress – another Jill Stuart but from an older collection
4. and how could i not pick a dress from my favorite designer? this is a gorgeous toga-inspired dress by Oscar de la Renta.
once you’re chosen a lovely white dress for your date and uploaded it to the White website, you have to complete tasks such as putting on a virtual facial mask and virtually painting your nails from the array on the website. i’m not much of a nail art fan, so i’d most likely choose the nude pink design called Excuse My French.
next, you do your hair! since this is all virtual, i’m going to make-believe and pretend that i have my long hair back, and have it in loose curls!
in 2006, when i was 18 and happy :) this was at a Halloween party, and i went as an angel. all white! here’s me with Yugi, my match made in heaven:
sigh my long hair!
the next task is to pick a pair of white shoes to complement the dress! normally i don’t think the color of the shoes should be that of the dress, but i think i can make an exception for a White Date :) i’d pick this white and matte silver pair from Ferragamo – it’d go with any of the four dresses that I chose above.
almost done :) i have a couple of steps that have yet to be opened up to me, but they look like make-up steps so that shouldn’t be too difficult. in real life, if i went on a White Date, this is probably what i would wear:
#4 White Date outfit –
white dress with layered ruffles – Zara
silver timepiece locket – Portobello Market, London
off-white hard leather bag – Furla
white slingbacks – Pedder Red
this is easily one of the easiest online contests out there. if you’re anything like me and the other White Bloggers who spend a lot of time looking at fashion online, then this is a shoo-in for you. so don’t wait too long to join! the White Date Contest ends on the 14th of September 2009.

for the contest, do we have to upload pictures of ourselves wearing the white dress and the shoes etc? or any photo from magazines or the internet will do?
7. Sinta | August 12th, 2009 at 3:43 pm

9. cindy khor | August 12th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
i think i’m in love with the choices that you pick, the white chanel, the ferragamo heels for your accessories. personally i would pick the oscar de la renta silky gown, it looks gorgeous and any date would go head over heels for the wearer..
10. Patricia | August 12th, 2009 at 9:06 pm

12. sheon | August 12th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
The Shoshanna dress is so your dress!!! and i’m sure it goes really well with the chanel bag, or is it a clutch?
well, good luck, hope you win big!!
13. Seven | August 13th, 2009 at 2:05 am

14. Adrian C | August 13th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Good that you cropped your hair short sue ann. Long hair (esp soft, curly trusses) are like Kryptonite to me. It will make me fall in love with a girl instantly :P!

29. sheon | August 18th, 2009 at 11:36 pm

like i said, your first outfit suits you best.
yeah, its unglam to be scratching your thighs while posing for a shot. hahahah
30. vvens | August 18th, 2009 at 11:59 pm

32. ZEek | August 19th, 2009 at 8:52 am
the posh-est Pau ive ever seen in her blog! in designer labels n such. nice one. :)
33. CraSH | August 19th, 2009 at 11:22 am
1st pic of you looks really hot. for your picks, since you already picked the channel and shoes. i think the 1st a-line tube dress and the last oscar de la renta would match your pics best.
anyway, good luck.
34. CraSH | August 19th, 2009 at 11:22 am
i mean picks..
35. pinkpau | August 19th, 2009 at 11:47 am
eh why does everyone like the first pic… the dress with the ruffles not nice meh :(
36. sheon | August 19th, 2009 at 11:49 am
with ruffles very nice too, but everybody got distracted by your scratching…. hahaha
37. pinkpau | August 19th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
i was not scratching!!!! i was bending to fix my shoe wtf
38. Michelle | August 19th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
I really love your cage shoes!.
39. claudia | August 19th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
because after all that OD of white, the black stripe in the first picture is much needed, that and it’s the only picture with your bare seXXXXXay shoulders wtf
40. annabelle | August 19th, 2009 at 8:02 pm

41. mimi | August 19th, 2009 at 9:01 pm

claudia : hahaha claudia ys foong dont be weird!
annabelle : /wiggles toes
mimi : unfortunately so :(
43. CraSH | August 20th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
ruffles pic 2 is too flowy and lots of lines.. and it would not work with your bag you pick. if you like the ruffles, you should do with a purse like you have on the 1st pic, something simple.
the pattern on the bag clashes with the ruffles and when you are trying to pair things, you want to play with patterns, material, cut and flow. when you have too much patterns, it just create too much lines that tire the eye when looking at it.
44. Michelle | August 20th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Wow, got laces summore. Makes me love it even more!
45. Caffy | August 23rd, 2009 at 1:29 pm
