Are you Ms. Bradshaw or Ms. Badshaw?

What separates Ms. Bradshaw from the rest? Is it what she wears or how she carries herself? It is the way she speaks and carries herself. She wears McQueen, Dior, Gucci and she still knows what to say and how to behave in public. So, are you really stylish or only your clothes that sream "Look at me! I'm stylish!"?

Not many stylish individuals epitome the true meaning of style. Many of them lack in those two areas and even those Louboutins cannot help them! I have seen many stylish KLites in Bukit Bintang, The Curve, Bangsar and KLCC, and yes, I was impressed with their sense of style but this was before I heard most of them talked and behaved. A good example is having the decency to say "thank you" when someone holds the lift for you or another example is the way you walk.

Please remember that even if you try to overload yourself with Giuseppe Zanotti's first jewelry collection (rings, cuffs and bracelets), necklaces from Zoe Chicco (zoechicco.com) with that cute top by Alexander Wang (SS10), a white tank top from Topshop, Stella McCartney's jeans (rolled up) and you finish it off with oh those so adorable Dior's wedges, trying so hard to achieve that crazy-chic look. Well...you might pull it off but if you do not know how to carry yourself, you will just be seen as crazy and that is not chic!

My point is that you must learn social skills before you style yourself. Money can indeed buy you the latest and hottest trends from London, Paris, Milan and Tokyo but hey! money can also allow you to register yourself for English lessons and social etiquette classes.

Think about that!
