C26: Fly Away (Preview)

Hi ladies we hope you have had a lovely weekend with your loved ones while we busied ourselves getting all ready for this launch. Chris is back with her usual gusto and while in the hospital she had an epiphany. She wanted this launch to mean a little more to the team and to you, the shoppers, and while we regularly launch between 3-6 styles, this time she wanted to share more styles with you, 10 to be exact in this collection, in the hope that whether you are a petite or a regular, a lover of neutrals or prints, you will be able to find something with us that defines you. She wanted all you lovely babes to feel comfortable in your own skin and fashion is really all about that, looking chic in what complement us. We know the moments when we felt like elephants trying to be ballerinas in something that does not flatter us, don't we? So it is our one sole aim to make everyone look and feel beautiful, to fly, to soar above. :)

Okayyyyyy... Now we sidetrack a little here... We just have to blog about the lovely duchess on the London Olympic Opening. Kate in a silk fitted coatdress by Scottish designer Christopher Kane. Completely befitting.


And the silly blogger here went to order this a week ago!! And it is not even here and the games has already begun! Crying FOUL!! Lolz.


And here we go! ^^ We hope there is something (or two, or three, or more!) that you will love and wear to death in time to come! :)

All measurements will be on our website http://thecoloris.com.sg/ when we launch on 1 August 2012, 9pm. Happy Preview! ^^

Model, JoJo, 166cm, UK 6.



Flyaway birdies inspired by major brands across the runway this Spring. During the photo shoot JoJo said, "I feel like dancing when I am wearing this!" We hope this will lift your moods and bring back the tapping musical feet! Never tried printed dresses? Now is the time to get one! Especially one that is of high quality chiffon and lined!





Inspired by ASOS gold collar tips. Who knew that something so simple can instantly bring glam to a little black dress without looking overboard? Subtlety at its best, we say. Quality cotton.





How about silver on a casual denim denim dress? :)





With the rage on tropicana prints we just had to lay our hands on this chiffon lined dress when we saw it. Worn with or without a belt, with flats or heels. Casual or formal? You decide!





From Korea with love, this charming number is all out to, well, charm. :)
(JoJo wears M)





Just what we need to be that eye candy in the office. Overlay peplum skirting for that feminine yet professional look. Quality polyster-spandex blend.







Weekends are hot with this chic slight stretch jersey item. Mesh on denim, a perfect concoction to salute the womanly curves.







Chiffon peplum blouse with a peek-a-boo-keyhole back. With studs on neckline for that unique touch.






Neon is everywhere from H&M to Zara, from East to West, and we just had to have them too in our collection. Shock and splash and go easy on the bottom for a snazzy feel.







A korean princess style fit for all on peter pan collar. Uber high quality crochet on chiffon (lined), bringing you from the office into the parties. We say "YYEPON!"

Eyed something in here that you like we hope? Cya in a bit on 1 August 2012, Wednesday at 9pm on http://thecoloris.com.sg/

C25: Baby Blue meets Pea Pink

Hi ladies, I'm the only one doing this launch so I'll make it a mini one okieeee? Because I am just not that "techy" and "wordy" as Chris, who is ill and resting in the hospital. Has she been in there for 4 days already? Sigh. We wish her a speedy recovery! Get well soon so that we can share more styles with you! Alone I am limited in the things I can do. I do apologise and seek your patience, and on hindsight, not too bad a thing too, to have the 2 styles blend in nicely with the pastel colors that the world loves! ^^

Baby Blue is one of my favourite colors, never mind if the world loves Pea Pink instead. You may have one or the other, or both if you can't decide which is prettier! I took the blue and so did the lovely model. You have your pick! :)

Collection is launched @ http://thecoloris.com.sg and all measurements are up over there.

Model Jess Kelsey, 162cm, UK 6.

An easy to wear style to the movies and lectures. 
Available in Blueberry and Rose in quality cotton.


A current best friend of ours, the weekend style of playsuit will stay for awhile. 
Available in Sky and Pink in quality cotton.



"cross BLUE and PINK and what dya get?"

Nails Without Fail...

Hi ladies, we are so in the temperament for a pictorial musing on the art of nails to share with you after our random exchanges on them, and we hope we will lighten up your day with some easy reading and candy photographs for your eyes! :)

First up from the bookworm of the team. She who loves newspapers (yeah, we know, it's bizarre) and has resolved to try this soon. Courage, we say. Newspapers?!?!?!?!?!??!? Lolz.



She, the positively swollen team member who is due to pop next month. She, who owns every (almost!) imaginable item on the hello kitty list of pots and pans to bangles and pendants, she just had to own a kitty nail lacquer when she spots one. Here is her eccentric pick.



We then went mad with our crazy nail bantering on our whatsapp, and JoJo, who is currently away on a buying trip, gave us her dainty opinion from far away, her love for glitter tips that will always be timeless in style. 



Sharing some styles that we can all agree on... 

For the stunning Kate (okay... and Will) who brought back the fashion instinct in almost every babe, and for the upcoming London Olympics... Union Jack we want you!!



A whimsical mix of being "stylish", and, being "naughty"... vs...

Loud and overbearing dotted nails seen in the Kate Spade 2012 show. EEeeeeWWwwww to this... we yawned...



Happy shiny Katy's nails in shimmering purple...



Summerlicious fun. What is life without colors? Cheer up and give the weekend mood factor an instant effervescent lift...

We then mused about the love relationship between girls and their nails, and the sometimes hate relationships between the same (think "soak off") and we decided we should organize a giveaway for the readers and shoppers of thecolorIS! Wouldn't it be a wonderful idea to collaborate fashion with nail lacquers, the ideal marriage to bring forth a fashionista! Watch the space on our fanpage. You never know whatcha gonna get, and in a jiffy! ^^

A Romper, A Playsuit, An Onesie by any other name....

Once thought of as something for infant or toddlers, the playsuit has evolved and transformed, and how do we make one a staple in your wardrobe? Let us count the ways... ^^

It's all about the cut. One good Valentino cut makes a romper as simple as worn by Harley Viera-Newton turn instantly into a goddess (as if she hasn't been one all the while lolz), a slightly longer hem line for that modest look (don't want everyone oogling at the legs, well, then again, maybe we do ^^), throw over a cardigan to add charm to this laid-back style.

Femininity redefined in this Guess long sleeved playsuit that lifts the sexy notch up with its plunging neckline. We don't know about you, but as much as we love this outfit we ain't have the shape to carry it out like fashion blogger Rubi. If only... then again, we can drool over this, can't we? :)
One wild thought: What if, just sayin', we snip the sleeves and turn it into sleeveless with a decent neckline? Would that do, you think? :)

We ain't the only ones crazy about looking cutesy apparently. Look at amazing Sarah Harding from London in her soft denim onesie. Completely flattering to her frame, now maybe this is something that we can relate to. Add a little tank into the style, and score high on casual.

We've talked the talk, and now it's time to walk the walk! :)

Is there a certain style of jumpsuits that you like us to bring in? Do share your thoughts with us on sales@thecoloris.com.sg and we might just give your style the space! ^^
