B.ha is an offshoot of lifestyle brand Daniel Hechter. The boutique carries an exclusive in-house lingerie line, put together by a group of international designers. Each collection is marked by exquisite detailing and crafted styling, with materials handpicked from the finest French fabrics and lace. French fabric is regarded the world over as one of the best types of materials for lingerie. Therefore it is not surprising that French lingerie is often voted as one of the finest lingerie available in the world of fashion. If you consider the iconic images and styles of stars since the 1940s you will notice that French lingerie has been in the spotlight for a long time.

There are four ranges — Sexy Glam, Romance, Essentials, and Swimwear — designed to complement your body shape while being feminine and provocative. You get the ultimate intimate shopping experience here. Each piece of lingerie is stored inside drawers labeled with specific sizes — simply picks the ones that catch your eye and head to the boudoir-like fitting rooms. The rooms are spacious enough to fit another person inside, and you can also choose the mood you want in the room — romance, sexy or glamour —to see how your lingerie looks like in different lighting.

If you can’t decide what to buy, simply park yourself at one of the two cozy lounge areas and take your time to decide on your purchases. If you need assistance or even a cup of cappuccino, just call for the sales concierge! Read the rest of this entry »

Chalone is the place to go for beautiful and sensual lingerie. As the exclusive distributor of many European brands, it offers the finest selection of French, Italian and Romanian lingerie, from makers such as Lejaby, Simone Perele, I.D. Sarrieri, Jolidon, Valery and Aubade.

The boutique is divided into two sections: a brightly lit area displaying everyday basics and problem solvers like loss-back bras, and a more warmly lit section filled with necessities for a night of seduction.

Don’t be stuck on bra size here as each brand has its own unique fit —the elasticity and type of materials used will determine the size you wear.

Chalone’s trained lingerie consultants (aka Chalone’s Angels) do not use a tape measure to determine your size. They’ll tell you that it doesn’t take a woman’s unique body shape into consideration. Instead, they’re trained to assess each customer using their superior product knowledge and fitting expertise. The personalized fitting can take as long as you want, until you’re completely satisfied. Read the rest of this entry »

Blush! Marks a move away from the utilitarian design and function of intimate wear to stylish lingerie made from the finest fabrics. The attraction of the boutique lies in its ability to offer a wide — and sometimes exclusive — range of intimate apparel from the world’s top lingerie houses.

The delectable line-up is practically guaranteed to boost any woman’s confidence, from the sexy and fashion-forward White Laundry, to the detail-driven Princesse Tam Tam, playful Ed Hardy Intimates, sensual Dim and the legendary Italian Parah.

In addition to imported brands, Blush! Has a long tradition and proven track record of producing stylish intimates under its own label. The designs are European-inspired, but the materials, such as French lace and stretchy fabric, are carefully selected to provide the best fit for Asian women. Read the rest of this entry »

One of the perks of being a professional model is that you learn to create different looks from the experts. Hair styling can dramatically affect how a woman looks, so it’s very important that my hair looks its best at every shoot, whether I’m doing an editorial project or advertising campaign.

On my days off, I’d rather experiment with my styling tools than make an appointment at the salon, before heading to town for drinks with my friends.

One of my all-time favorites is Panasonic’s EH 1771, a lightweight curling iron that gives me gorgeous and healthy-looking curls in minutes. This is a must-have, especially when a last-minute appointment crops up. Read the rest of this entry »
