Uniqlo - Uniquely Environmental Friendly


Hi again fellow readers! Today's blog entry will be a little bit different from our previous blog entries. We were surfing the net and we happened to chance upon Uniqlo's website while doing an online window shopping. So yes, we came across this and we thought that is something useful and beneficial to share with you readers out there.

Uniqlo has come up with a wonderful environmental plan and concept for making the world into a better place. We truly love how Uniqlo is not only concerned on making profits through the selling of their fast forward clothing line but they are also concerned about saving the environment and making the world into into a better place. With globalization and modern technology, we certainly know that in some form of a way our current living lifestyle has certainly affect the state of the Earth that we lived in. Carbon dioxide emissions, elimination of hazardous chemicals and consumption of fossil fuels have certainly contributed to global warming

So the question is what are some of the measures that were taken by Uniqlo to save the Earth? As you can see in the image above those are some measures that were taking by Uniqlo as their part of their contribution to save the Earth. In addition to that, from the images below we can observe what are some of the measures taken by Uniqlo to save the Earth. For example, Uniqlo uses an efficient lightings and LED lights in their stores to save the energy. Climate regulators were also used to optimize temperature controls through automatic shut-off and other methods. Fast Retailing Co Ltd which is an addition to it primary subsidiary Uniqlo -  seeks to comply with all laws and regulations, to respect the natural environment and the challenges, facing the international community in its aim to be an environmentally responsible company

QuackQuack - dUCK

Ever thought of wearing a luxury scarf that also provides comfort in a hot weather?


Hi again fellow readers! Previously we talked about how hot Singapore's weather can be. It is especially challenging for Muslims who wear scarfs. The thought of getting sweaty and uncomfortable would somehow hinders a person to dress up and use luxury clothing as they might find it a hassle to do so. Thus, choosing the appropriate materials use for clothing will help in deciding which clothes one could use during hot weather to provide comfort for themselves.

We both wear scarfs in a daily basis and we are interested in knowing more about premium and luxury scarfs that provide comfort in a hot weather. We found out about a luxury scarf brand that have a wide range of different materials that are suitable for Singapore’s weather. This scarf is known as Duckscarves.

Duckscarves are proudly made in Malaysia and it is founded by a popular blogger named Vivy Yusof.



It is now widely known around the world such as Singapore, Brunei, UK and Australia. These scarves are very unique with its special hem detailing and a shiny dUCK charm, exclusively packed in a hard purple box tied with dUCK’s ribbon. They are also known for their high quality material used for the scarves. Duckscarves went through a series of thorough quality control check before putting it on sale for the customers

Different types of materials are used to manufacture Duckscarves. The materials used are; bamboo, peachskin, georgette, jersey, mixed crepe and satin silk. Each of the different materials provides its own unique drape and softness.

 Our top two most favourite material from duck are georgette and satin silk. Georgette would be the most favourite scarf for everyday used while the satin silk scarf adds on to a professional look on certain days where we want to looked more dressed up.

dUCK's georgette scarf are lightweight, soft, drapes easily and the most important element in it is that it is cooling. Thus we do not have much issue on getting all sweaty and feeling uncomfortable when wearing it.

dUCK's satin silk scarf has a similar properties as the georgette scarf. The only extra element in it is that its known for the shiny sheen of the satin as well as the extra softness of the material.

 Duckscarves can also be worn as a neck scarf, thus it is widely worn by people around the world regardless of race. Here are some photographs from duckscarves instagram.

Lastly, here are some flatlays of Duckscarves taken by our friend's aunt.

Hope you enjoy our entry my fellow readers! Till next time!

Sweaty weather? What should i wear?

http://www.fashionadvicemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/workattire1.jpg
Have you ever stared at your opened wardrobe and not knowing what to wear because most of the clothes you have may not be suitable or comfortable for you to wear in a hot season? Well if you have ever faced such experience, there's one thing that we can tell you; Your Are Not Alone.

Personally, living in a country that doesn't have any season and is located right on the equator can be a challenge. Singapore is pretty much hot and sunny all year round with average temperature of 27°C - 33°C. Hence, finding the right clothing material without feeling hot and sticky at the end of a long tiring day can be challenging. But don't worry my fellow readers, today we are going to share some tips on choosing the right type of clothes and clothing materials that you can wear in a hot country/season like Singapore.

1) Fabric Choices 

Choosing the right fabric is very important. Natural materials such as cotton, linen and rayon are generally the best fabrics for tropical climates. As a general rule, natural fibres are better at soaking up moisture from the skin and allowing it to evaporate from the outer space. Synthetic fibers (manmade fibres) such as polyester tend to trap heat by providing an insulating layer over the skin and they tend to reflect heat back to the body and inhibit the outward flow of warm, moist air.

Cotton


Strengths: It permits movement of air from the skin through the fabric, allowing heat to dissipate and reducing humidity. It also keeps the skin dry and increases evaporation as it is a good absorbent of moisture. Cotton has a definite advantage as it can be machine washed and dried. Thus, as sweat accumulates in hot weather, the ability to wash clothing quickly is a plus point!

Weaknesses: As cotton is a good absorbent of moisture, they can become damp and stay damp for some time. If you wear jeans regularly, you will realise that denim cotton tend to absorb a lot of water and take a long time to dry out in wet weather.


Linen

Strengths: Just like cotton, linen is very comfortable to wear as it is cooling and absorbent. When it gets wet or damp, it loses water quickly - useful feature in humid condition like Singapore. Line is stain-resistant and can be machine-washed.

Weaknesses: Ironing linen may not be easy as it wrinkles and creases easily, especially when tumble dried. It is also susceptible to mildew.



Rayon

Strengths: Made from natural cellullose. It is cool and comfortable to wear. It does not trap body heat and absorbs water easily.

Weaknesses: Limited durability (Normal Rayon), should be dry-cleaned rather than wash.



2) Choosing the right type of clothing

When the weather is pretty hot and sunny all year round, it is essential for you to choose loose and comfortable clothing. Wear cotton/linen clothing to suit the warm and sticky weather. For examples, tunics are definitely great and recommended as they can protect your skin from the sun whilst keeping you cool. In addition, denim shorts, camis, t-shirts and blouses work well too. A pair of cropped neutral pants and shorts will be good too.

In summary, choosing the right clothing and choosing the right material is very important because we're pretty sure feeling comfortable is our main top priority when it comes to choosing the right wardrobe for our hot and sweaty weather. Thus, it is definitely important for us to choose natural fibres as they do not trap heat by providing an insulating layer over the skin and inhibit the outward flow of warm, moist air. So there you have it my dear readers, hope this helps you choose the right clothing material when you go SHOPPING next time! Till then..

 Love, 
H & Z
