Shopping for Hari Raya can be quite crazy, but ladies and gentlemen, don’t stress out. 😉 Shopping for Hari Raya clothing for the entire family for the can be pretty fuss free if you know where to go. If you are looking for ready-made traditional clothes, you might want to drop by Jakel Mall. They have just launched their latest Raya collection for the whole family and I don’t think it will be a chore to go shopping in Jakel as they have a total of 18 Jackel stores nationwide.

Jakel launches new baju raya collection for the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri and introduces high profile local celebrities Rozita Che Wan and Nabil Ahmad as well as Upin Ipin line of clothing for children. The clothing are for the gentlemen, ladies and children respectively.

Raya Clothing for the whole family sold in Jakel stores nationwide. From top left: Baju Melayu Nabil, Baju Kurung Che Ta. From bottom left: Baju Melayu Upin dan Ipin and Baju Kurung Moden for little girls. These clothing are pretty much on the high end side, especially from Nabil and Che Ta’s Collection. The cloth used to make for all of these clothing are from high quality textile materials and very comfortable to wear.

Here, take a look at Baju Kurung Che Ta, ladies. Isn’t it lovely?

Baju Kurung Che Ta is of modern designs and is adorned intricately with beautiful rhinestones and semi precious stones like crystals. One would definitely stand out in the crowd if they are to wear this for Hari Raya. These definitely caught my attention and I’m definitely going to get one for myself. 😉

While the adult clothing concentrated on being fashionable, the children’s clothing from Upin and Ipin Collection is designed to not only be stylish, but comfortably fashionable and attractive to a young child’s eye too. Take a look at this blazing red Baju Melayu Upin Ipin. The Baju Melayu buttons are not the usual ones we are familiar with. They are made to look like Upin Ipin’s characters.

I dare to bet no little boys would complain about wearing sampin with Upin Ipin character’s prints on it.

The clothing comes in exclusively cute gift box too, making them a perfect gift and souvenirs for the upcoming festive season.

Jackel stores can be likened to a one stop centre for all your Hari Raya needs. And shoppers not only can buy clothing from Jakel, but all sort of things too like curtains, cushion covers and whatnot. So, ladies and gents, boys and girls, what are you waiting for? Head over to your nearest Jakel store and get your raya clothing today before they run put of stock. 😉

Remember quite some time ago I went for XES Hi Tea? I think that was somewhere in March and I was informed that XES Shoes will be releasing their new collection pretty soon? Well they finally did last May. So sorry for the late posting. Life have been really hectic and I’m almost never at home. There is so many things going on. Ushering Ramadan 2015; there is almost daily food reviews in hotels and restaurants and since it is MyFest2015 and I’m a family friendly tourism activist, I’ve been festival hopping with my family almost every weekend.

Okay, enough with my whining. XES have been both mine and my husband’s favourite shoe brand for our travels and they had just revealed their new collection and naturally, I was hyped up about it.

Their theme this time? Greek Mythology.The Tales of Olympus. Arriving at the venue of their launching makes me feel as if I was transported directly to the ancient Greece where the Greek Gods and Goddesses are actually alive. You see, when I was a child I was quite a bookworm. Mythology was my favourite genre, and my favourite story ought to be the moon Goddess Selene and Endymion; the story of the moon goddess who fell in love with a mortal man who was then granted eternal sleep as their affair progressed. It was a rather sweet but tragic story, but I like it nevertheless.

Checking out the venue, I spotted a few things that reflect the lives in Olympus being integrated in the event launching activities. Bow and arrow. Or rather, an archery competition.

Guests who hits the target actually stands a chance to win some products from XES.

Speed competition. Those who manage to tie up shoe lace in record time also wins something from XES.

Complimentary make over by Sense and Style for guests

Beautification in progress

Well, I suppose this is enough to make the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite goes green in envy.

And what’s good music without some sexy dance performance that could even make the Greek goddesses blush? Here’s some magnificent dance performed by one of XES’s event sponsor, Fitness First.

Seductive and alluring dance performance by the lovely Ms. Mico, Miss XES Elegance 2014/2015 before the unveiling of the new collection from XES Signature: Tales of Olympus.

XES, the trendy family shoes store, is giving one of the world’s most ancient forms of footwear a modern makeover. With sandals being the prominent footwear in ancient Greece. XES has designed various modern sandals interlaced with delicate straps crossing the toes and wrapping the ankles, made with natural material ages beautifully and will encourage women to wrap in the beauty and simplicity of the Grecian fashion.
