Love is in the air..........

What’s that gotta do with colours?

Well, have you heard that blue sometimes are construed as having the presence of love? I don’t know how true the notion is but would definitely be willing to go along.
Wearing blue on the other hand is by no means reflecting the state that you are in but rather the vibes that you are projecting. That love is in the air. Evidently. Meanwhile, wearing the colour bronze is projecting the presence of wealth, prosperity and even the state of grandeur. One would surely know that ultimately, if it looks good…. Then wear them.
I know now and I knew it for some time now that certain colours you put on will inevitably mirrored the mood you are in. And both blue and bronze are no strangers to me. It is not a rocket science to figure out that you will feel good and look great in certain colours. Some people have fewer choices while some lucky ones have a whole spectrum of them. And yours truly happen to be the unlucky ones. So find out for yourself. And take your pick.


A special thanks to Pn Zila and Au revoir.... May we still keep in touch and you know where to get me..

My pink lady of the South China Sea..........

Need more beads…pretty please!!!!!

More often than none, my customers will be asking for more beads on their dresses to which I am more than willing to oblige. In this particular case, I did the sleeves with heavy beading, thinking that it suffice enough but apparently not. It took me only a couple of hours to do the neck and she is pleased. Another happy customer.




From that time onwards I would do the neck, sleeves and the front of all her dresses so as not to appear unaccommodating to her needs. I avoided having to repeat the same mistake and manage to deliver her next orders without a hitch. Lesson learned…

Spring has sprung …Cik Pn Siti Khatijah Shaikh Mahmud

Little People Big Fashionista... yet again.
Introducing my petite fashionista lady from Kertih who has been a patron of Mai Style for as long as I was in business… Cik Pn Siti Khatijah Shaikh Mahmud.  She used to make daily trips just to see me and she still does so even during fasting month.
Her choice of colours and fabrics has been undisputedly admired and closely followed by her peers. While I may be involved in making her dresses, she has full credit on “making it works” with just about anything and everything under the sun.
Eid AlMubarak 2011 was celebrated with 2 baju kurung and a kurung moden to begin with, which she later added 5 more pieces for me to do for the after Eid Al-Mubarak. As you can see my work is never finished and as a result I can never have the time to do mine. That’s usually is the case if you ask me. Always coulda, woulda and shoulda…. Never can, will and shall for me…..
