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.
