Style Your Way To Confidence | Plus Size Collection | Jazz & Co

Sebrinah Yeo October 24, 2018 0

In Malaysia today, we live our lives everyday in abundance! We have a variety of food and the people from all walks of life is amazing that you can't even count them! That being said, I used to be a plus size. In fact, I have been on a "yo-yo" weight ever since I was young. My parents used to tell me to eat up and grow chubby so that I will one day shoot up and be tall and slim. So let me break it down to you, it's a myth. If you eat and sleep then you'll stay the same, if you eat and exercise, then that's a whole other story. But then again, some a genetic or in the DNA! Especially when it comes to figuring out how your body mechanism works in breaking down those food molecules in your body at what rate and etc. Everything plays a part!

But today I won't be talking about gaining or losing weight. I will be sharing about how you are way more beautiful than you think you are, regardless of your size or the way you look now! Because you can change your wardrobe and look fabulous with your beautiful curves with Jazz & Co!

"It's not about the size you wear. But the way you wear your size." said Jasdeep Singh Katari, founder of Jazz & Co. Established since February 2015, it took 2 years for all the R&D in this Plus Size Collection to create a more comfortable, suitable, fashionable, stylish and affordable line of clothes that is uniform sized. This is good because I have experienced trying to find clothes my size on those skinny mannequins but I could not fit in it at all! And I remember I only had limited places to shop from and my boyfriend then (now husband) used to make jokes at me because I was looking for clothes at the MATERNITY section in AEON Jusco. This is also because there is NO plus size collection out there that makes me look YOUNG! All my life, people thinks I am a matured women even in my 20s!

Jazz & Co was born out of love for fashion and the recognition that the industry is still lacking when it comes to the wants and needs for a stylish lifestyle of a plus size women and men. And I can totally relate to this! Because I had to opt for Chiffon material because it does not stick to my baby fats and it has that watery/flowing effect when I move or wind blows making the entire outfit look gentle on me, most importantly, it can cover my chubby areas. All of my clothes are either cardigans, chiffon, scooped/v-necklines, wrap tops, lace off shoulder tee, butterfly tops, jeans and maxi dress! That's the only limited choices that I have! And it's difficult to get the right size!

Today we were graced with the beautiful melody of a celebrity radio DJ and Malaysian Idol 2004 runner up, Dina Nadzir, who was the emcee and performer of the day! She looks amazing in the Jazz & Co collection and when she sang, it was beautiful!

I really liked today's show as Jazz & Co truly brings out the expression of each models personality while having fun and not feeling limited by society's current fashion rules. Even the name came from the founder himself, with a twist of musical genre, they believe fashion is like a rhythm and sound to our body, just like music to our ears.

Jazz & Co vision is to celebrate fashion for all women from size 12 all the way to size 22 and men from size L to 5XL. And the good news is Jazz & Co keeps up with the latest fashion trend and style to make sure plus size people won't feel left out and limited with current fashion style in the market just because of their size or the way they look.

To make sure the quality of Jazz & Co products are up to standards, all of their garments will go through a stringent approval process, allowing shoppers a peace of mind by ensuring what they purchase at jazznco.com is exactly what they will receive at their doorstep. And if you're not satisfied or if there's something wrong with it, you can return it back within 14 days with a condition to ensure that the tags are not removed and still in tact.

"If you don't love who you are, you are never going to feel 100 percent satisfied in life. It all starts with you. If you don't love you, nobody else is going to be able to."

This exclusive fashion preview of the new festive collections, the brand also aspires to inspire the plus size community to keep up with fashion just like any other individuals, even during the festive season. So no more "basic"fashion, no more plain t-shirts, no more oversized or tight clothing that don't fit well, no more bigger boxy clothes! It's time to flaunt your true beauty and love your curves every single inch of it and embrace it! Since I've lost weight after my 1st childbirth, I realized I was not chubby all my life when I was young, I was told that my whole body had water retention and immediately after my confinement massage sessions, I lost 10kg. And you think it's good? Everyone tells me I have health problems for losing so much weight. So you know what? Screw them, do what you want, do what you love, YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE (unless you choose to come back again in another lifetime).

Even until today, people are telling me I'm lucky but my luck will run out because once I stop breastfeeding, my weight will come back for sure. Nevertheless, it's all an interesting point of view, I don't need to take it because it's their word, their views, their thoughts, not mine. Because I choose to create my life my way, my own points of view, my own thoughts, my own creation and my own choices. So don't let anyone put you down because you are stronger than you think you are!

Time to change your wardrobe and strut your style and show off those beautiful curves you have!

Sebrinah Yeo June 24, 2018 0

With so many malls all around Klang Valley, it really makes you wonder which ones are worth visiting. Today I was taken on a retail passport tour to 27 outlets inside Melawati Mall!

Was grateful to enjoy my Raya shopping experience in the hearts of Melawati! Let me share these amazing hotspots with discounts and offer not to be missed!

(GF) Ground Floor @ Melawati Mall :

San Francisco (GF, 27)

We started our tour at San Francisco, a great start today with a satisfying club sandwich and Icelandic Lemon to spark up my vibes for a #retailpassport tour in Melawati Mall! This is a very neat and serene concept where you can see pottery plants hanging from the ceiling with a really relaxing backdrop. This concept really makes you feel like staying longer because of the cosy environment. It's like having a cup of coffee at the garden/patio.

U.S Polo Assn. (GF, 24)

U.S Polo Assn. provides a variety of men's and women's apparel to footwear, bags and accessories, it's definitely one hotstop not to be missed. It's the official brand of United States Polo Association (USPA), a non-profit governing body for polo sports in US since 1890. Basically, it's high quality apparels at reasonable pricing to meet your everyday needs and style! My husband would love some apparels here that I may get for him. Depends how he treats me, ahahhahahaa!

Wah Chan (GF, 04)

An exhilarating retail passport experience at Wah Chan in Melawati Mall unleashing the beauty in us! So if you're looking for a unique, timeless, distinctive and beautiful design that never goes out of fashion, then don't think any further and come over and be mesmerized!

Wah Chan is the 3rd largest jeweller in Malaysia, in terms of number of outlets, with 37 boutiques nationwide!

Max Fashion (GF, 32-35)

Another great selection of apparels for the whole family; To suit different lifestyle and personality may it be at work or at play. You can even grab their amazing Football Fever Collection over here! It's one of the largest value fashion brands across Middle East (origin from Dubai) with 425 stores across 19 countries, that has their own private label clothing with offers from RM15 onwards; AND offering 3000 latest styles, trends and offers under RM39 for the whole family of every age, gender and size!

They will always drop by for a visit just to see the hamsters, rabbits and sometimes birds in the glass/cage.

Daily Fresh (LG, 09)

Daily fresh offers you snacks to satisfy your sweet tooth, cravings and just for a super quick bite on-the-go. They have waffles and I usually order them with a special request for it to be slightly overcooked (I'll tell them I want "garing sikit") so that it comes out crispy! They even have ready-to-eat flavoured corn where you can warm it back up and eat on-the-go. They also have ice blended corn beverages, cool Ice Kimo, low fat Gelato Ice-Cream and popcorns too. Lest not forget the famous sweet corn cup!

They have a special flavour introduced here, which is the Wafel Sandwic Sambal Ikan Bilis RM4.50. In between the waffle they put cucumbers, sliced hard boil egg, mayonnaise, marjerin and anchovies sambal that is really spicy!

Pappa Roti + Kris Krust (LG, 26)

The phenomenal Pappa Roti has over 400 cafes around the world! And came to Malaysia since 2003. I remember back when it arrived, the queue was crazy! But it was amazing to sink your teeth into hot fluffy melt in your mouth buttery coffee buns! It's scent is heavenly! It takes fresh hot bakes buns to another level with the coffee aroma!

Kris Krust is just next to Pappa Roti and it's concept is really unique, as it is like burgers but made out of, signature hand-folded puff pastry, made by their in-house bakers, to create a soft and crispy texture in between the juicy meat patty of your choice (chicken, fish, beef, lamb). Rest assured, it's HALAL certified.

There's also a seating area inside where you can spend your tea time or get your in-between meals with your family and friends when you dine-in here!

Jubahsouq (L2, 06)

Jubahsouq provides the latest modesty style in Muslim fashion exclusive to ladies and gents from all walks of life. The design is very simple, sleek and stylish.

Toys'R'Us (L2, 36)

Toys'R'Us, no need to say... Both my sons love this place! I can spend 1 hour here just watching them play or checking out the toys. Before I had kids, I sometimes come by with my then-boyfriend (now husband already la) and we will just goof around and try not be kicked out or looked at weirdly by the other parents or kids haha! I have itchy hands btw, so I'll come in and especially toys where you can demo with a push of the button and it goes on in a row of display, so I just had that urge to press, press, press, press, press and then quietly walk away to burst out laughing with my then-boyfriend (now husband).

I still do it now and my kids are truly entertained, they have ours genes hahahaha!

MPH bookstore (L2, 37)

I'm an avid online shopper myself but I could never proceed to checkout on MPHonline because I felt the need for that physical connection with the real book in hand! And it's not just the book, in MPH you get to be immersed into the scent of fresh books on the shelf racks, sometimes woody and sometimes the fresh scent of new paper, especially paper-back books!

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy books! And that's kind of the same thing for me. And just for all of you reading this, you get to enjoy 50% off USBORNE BIG PICTURE ATLAS and also their Sassy & Inky collection on promo that is really classy! Just the way I like!

(L3) Third Floor @ Melawati Mall :

Baba Nyonya by Sambal Chili (L3, 07)

Baba Nyonya offers a colourful variety of local Baba Nyonya cuisines that you won't easily find it anywhere! Because my out-laws (sister's in-laws) are Baba Nyonya, and her MIL makes really good Baba Nyonya cuisines! So I can vouch that Baba Nyonya food is definitely in a world of its own and a rare find gem! Hence, this place is definitely worth coming by to take your tastebuds to another journey of wonders!

NY Steak Shack (L3, 08)

NY Steak Shack is my favourite since they started in Malaysia! Because I love western food and over here it is so affordable! Now they are offering the All New Sharing Platter! Today lemme intro to you the Beef Skewers and Beef Platter here. They all look great together with the yummy looking sauce and when you're hungry, anything goes!

Sopoong (L3, 20)

Sopoong is a Korean restaurant where they serve ala carte food from the menu. I love their rice cake soup because it's really flavourful and rice cakes are chewy! But I can never finish 1 whole bowl, the rice cakes are quite fulfilling. Must share only can finish it. So for the price and portion size, it's worth it.

Just look at all their other amazing dishes! It's all really delicious and I love their new Kimchi Fried rice with cheese! Apparently it was created based on customers demand to add cheese in it. What I would like to highlight is this retail chain is actually considered homemade! Because it's a family business, the recipe is all from the mother of the family and this outlet here is managed by their son and daughter-in-law, both Korean. So rest assured this is a definitely good Korean restaurant to satisfy your hunger and tastebuds with the true Korean homemade goodness!

They only serve beef, chicken and seafood; vegetarians are welcome, and it's not spicy PLUS you get FREE side dishes and FREE refills to that! Pricing wise is way too affordable for such homemade delicacies!

Pizza Hut (L3, 29)

Pizza Hut celebrates together with Malaysians launching their new Madu Padu pizza since Ramadhan and Raya! And It's gonna be ending soon till 14th July 2018 only! And to be honest! I love it! If u are a cheese lover, pizza lover, meat lover and basically a foodie at heart, you will love this!

Loaded with chicken bites, tasty diced cheese that tastes like baked parmesan/cheddar if not mistaken; And topped with a unique twist of special honey drizzle and crispy tortilla in between each pizza slices! I seriously enjoyed this dish here at Melawati Mall because it feels as if the ingredients have been carefully selected and flavours crafted to magically and harmoniously come together, creating a perfect blend of extraordinary taste that will definitely keep you coming back for more!

VVVVVVVVVV

Kek Span Oree (L3, K2)

If you have ever heard of the hype on the Eggy Sponge Cake where people queue just to get a cake for their own. Then this is the place to be. Because everytime the eggy sponge cake comes out from the oven, it smells like heaven! They even have Chocolate, Cheese, Oreo & Cream and Original egg sponge cake for your choosing!

Hei Sushi (L3, 23-24)

Incase you didn't know, Hei Sushi is a sister brand of Sakae Sushi. Hei Sushi bridges the gap between Sakae Sushi with a wide selection of Japanese cuisine prepared with a touch of local flavours. A gastronomic adventure of exquisite flavor, fresh ingredients, quality assurance, Halal certified at an affordable price that is value for money!

Good2U offers amazing fashion choices that will not burn a hole in your wallet/pocket! It's really good if you're looking for apparels with a limited budget on hand! Must definitely drop by to check out!

A real family friendly shop not to be missed!

Sixth Floor @ Melawati Mall :

ME Clinic (L6, 18)

Me! time at ME Clinic. They have 3 outlets across Malaysia. Skudai JB, Berjaya Times Square KL and Melawati Mall. An aesthetic clinic where the consultation doctor will attend to your skin and recommend the best treatment to suit you. As a mother of 2, it is good to pamper ourselves with some quality me time and pamper our skin atleast once!

Kidz Zone (L6, 21 & 22)

This is a fun playland for the kids! A great place to host birthday parties for your little ones and just bring them over to have fun! I like how the area is big enough for parents to sit and wait as they watch over their kids having fun in the play area. There's also separate areas specific to birthday parties that can be held simultaneously on the same day with other birthday boys/girls.

The best part is the shooting balls inside he play area that looks like too much fun that even I would love to play together with my kids. There's also some puzzle areas and the nice huge slide; And the theme is of the deep blue ocean. It's the one and only Kidz Zone of this in Melawati Mall, they do not have any branches elsewhere. They even have a special offer now for "Buy 5 free 1 ticket! OR Buy 10 and free 3 tickets!".

Row Six (L6, 07)

Row Six presents to you a fusion of cuisines from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. Since 2010, Row Six's authentic recipe and cooking methods prove to bring out the best in all of these cuisines in terms of exotic taste, aroma of these Nanyang dishes and the presentation of these colorful eye-catching cuisines. My friends recommended to try their "Nasi Ketuk with Chicken Rendang, RM21.95" which was on the "World's 50 Most Delicious Food".

We manage to experience the "Row Six Combo Set, RM39.95" that consists of 2 spring roll that makes a perfect match with the fish sauce, 6 chicken satay that has a really generous meat portion on each satay stick with a nutty peanut satay sauce, 3 fish cake that was spicy with a kick!, 1 bowl of kerabu jellyfish, 3 BBQ spiced chicken wings.

That's not all, you get to enjoy 30% discount just for reading this! Register HERE to grab your 30% discount before you dine-in at Row Six at Melawati Mall!

Fitness First (L6, 0)

After the whole day of retail tour, we ended our day doing fitness. Freestyle movement exercise. I lasted (or not) less than 15min. I skipped the other half and was eager to run away to go shopping instead. However, it was fun! I could lift weights (very light only)! So cooooool! I even measured my weight and body fat mass etc. Where the "Leng Chai" consultant gave me an overview on my current body situation on the fat mass (almost touching border line), bone weight which is good means good calcium (and I never drank milk since 2yo lolx maybe I ate alot of meat), water not good (must drink more water) but overall my body age is 38! Nooooooooo! Then he asked me, I got exercise? Lolx! Never in my life, but maybe now I should reconsider as I just touched 30 this month!

The next day :

So visit Melawati Mall for a true shopping extravaganza experience that is fun and too many food, sights, see, entertainment and things to do with the whole family!

I'll be heading back again soon! Haven't finish shopping for baju la~
