LATEST NEWS FROM KYURII

KYURII JAN C sneak preview

specially for my good friend, eirma. and also for you girls out there! we decide to name this selection ''evergreen'' because its the time of the year where you might want to get clothes that are practical and can last throughout the year, while you wait a little longer to observe the approaching S/S 07 trends before you start shopping. (oh well, at least this is our personal shopping habit.) hope you guys love them as much as we do!
p.s. the clothes will be uploaded on kyurii wardrobe this coming weekend!

haircut suggestion from kym

thanks for the photos.

what's coming up...

hi girls! we receive emails asking us about when the next batch of clothes will be launched and whats coming up. so we thought we will update everyone over this blog. for the next launch, (if everything goes well) it should be this weekend! watch out!
and yes, for the coming chinese new year, we will have 2 special launches (which will also be the only 2 launches for feb)! currently, we are in the midst of preparing that. you will be seeing splashes of colours, floral prints and geometric shapes!

major spring/summer 07 trends!

i just bought the feb issue of vogue uk, ooh and i have to share the trends with you!
Trend no. 1: The big easy. everyday urban looks have a gentle, feminine touch.
Trend no. 2: Short cuts. hemlines continue to rise.
Trend no. 3: Shiny shiny. the little metallic dress has replaced the little black dress.
Trend no. 4: Yellow. top-to-toe yellow radiates energy and dazzling style.
Trend no. 5: Ultramarine. shimmering rich silks and satins in blocks of pure colour...
Trend no. 6: Sporty ... sportswear detailing gives feminine pieces a street smart edge
Trend no. 7: Florals. simple floral dresses are good day-to-night options.
Trend no. 8: Future vision. gleaming fabrics, sculpted metal and glamourous sci-fi creations...
all the above is quoted from vogue.
let me digest them and lets talk more about each trend soon!! now i need to go immerse myself in the mag...

to all the girls in singapore

this is kym. he hasnt been to singapore but heard from his hairdresser that we, singaporean gals are all very pretty! therefore he is dying to go to singapore! but before he is there, i think he wants to be seen online first. this is probably (or must be) his favourite photo of himself. he put it on my phone last nite and has just sent it to me (for my blog i think thats his implication). so here it is!
p.s. dear frens, i think kym must be really stressed at work these days. forgive him. and also forgive this third post of mine today..... hahaha.

KYURII JAN B, OUT NOW!

we hope you enjoy this selection of clothes! check out that dress, we love it!
p.s. was talking too much about the chicken rice, that i nearly forgot to blog this. hehe.

gway png!

i have to show you guys this plate of 'gway png' (it means chicken rice for frens in hk)!! haha. its is the most authentic hainanese chicken rice found in hk! we specially went to 'food republic' in taikoo shing for it (and also for movie). the food court is owned by singaporean, i think its that guy who started breadtalk (in hk, its call simply bread). See! they have the same kind of chilli sauce we have in sin (in hk, they never get the chilli rice right), the same dark soya sauce and the soup tastes the same!!! and that guy who is at the counter sounds totally like a singaporean. it all comes in a package?!!?
everytime i eat it, it feels like i am eating the chicken rice my dad bought back for me, in front of the tv in the living room! haha. oh i can't wait to go home in 2 weeks time! ooh i wish there are more singaporean food in the food court! for desserts, they do have bubor chacha and cheng ting and ice jelly and ice kachang!! sorry guys, i have been thinking about singaporean food so much these days...
kym is lucky. his office is in taikoo shing. he can have it anytime he likes. but he is not singaporean.

busy weekend

busy busy busy... kyurii jan part 2 coming up soon! watch out!

shoot shoot shoot

ah... cold ar!! to be wearing summer clothes for photo taking in winter. hope my goose pimples don't show on the photos. haha. sky getting dark now. call it a day! one whole day of shooting... and more shooting tomorrow! tonight no japanese lesson because kym kun has to work overtime. mm... better 'benkyo' after a 1-month break becos sensei went to new zealand for holiday. ganbatte!!!

cold tonight

just came back from hotpot (or steamboat as we call it) with my ex-colleagues. i just went through the emails at kyurii_online and it makes me really happy when you guys like the clothes!
life feels much simpler now.. listening to damien rice 9 now.. doing our own stuff.. expressing our creativity in our own little ways. yeah, i quit my full time job last dec after 9 years of full-time advertising. from JWT singapore to mccann erickson shanghai, to tbwa and o&m in hk, i am more than ready to say goodbye to the mnc, goodbye to the looooonnng working hours, to the sudden urgent deadlines, to the endless sometimes meaningless demands from clients, goodbye to the title 'associate creative director' and also goodbye to my monthly salary! haha.
i am now ready to embark on the journey of kyurii. i am really excited about the future even though sometimes it feels like i am diving into the unknown. i feel the freedom to create and explore once again!! its not an easy road ahead, but we will head on with courage and faith! goodnite.

KYURII JAN Part 1 IS OUT!

after all that partying, this month we decide to sober up and dress everything DOWN! back to basics with jackets, tee and jeans!

KYURII Buy-of-the-Month!

we can finally share with you the bags i bought last week! the reason why i am so excited is because its always so hard to find an evening bag, or even a smaller bag. it has to balance between practicality and trend, which means it has to hold all my lipgloss, compact powder, tissue, blotters, handphone etc. and at the same time, looks up-to-date. thats why when i found this leopard print bow clutch/sling, $45, i was really glad. its great to hold all your essentials (perfect for holding red packets during cny. haha!). it also comes with 2 separate chains for you to interchange so you can have 3 different looks to one bag!
P.S. for all 3 bags featured this month, we only have 2 items each! This is because the cost price for each bag is quite high and we are not sure how they will be received (even though we really can't resist them!). and also becos leekeng and i snatched one for oursleves, so we are left with only two to sell! : P

'everything's just wonderful' now... woohoo chorus: 'oh yeah i'm fine. everything's just wonderful. i'm having the time of my life.'
love this song! let me take a photo of the lyrics now. ok downloading now...

thanks zin! for this cd! i love it! it reminds me of the london trip somehow. the part when kym, you and i were rummaging through all the vintage shops at brick lane! you know what i am still faithfully using the billy ray cyrus bag we found. hehe. oh i really miss that!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ah finally i am able to blog... how is everyone? hope you guys like kyurii first sale! how is the singapore sale ? good? over here its not too bad. but in hk, there are so many sales in a year, that you dun really feel the effect of a sale. anyway, we are currently preparing the first batch of clothes for 2007! we have included some bags in this coming collection! so watch out!
