Paint the Town Red
You’ll have to excuse the late posts recently. I’ve been traveling between Kuala Lumpur and Los Angeles, so my photos still need to catch up with me (the inevitable result of jet lag).
Today, I find myself reminiscing from my hotel in KL about a red dress I wore to a lux LA event. A few weeks ago, I attended a formal Chinese New Year dinner held by Chase and Privy.net . The 10 course meal was beyond exquisite and the wine was out of this world.
Traditionally, the Lunar New Year calls for a riveting red dress. And when you wear red, the best red lipstick ever is the Armani Rouge #400.
The essentials: fur, a red & white French manicure and a yummy boost of youthH20 (my secret weapon to countering my occasional macaroon indulgence).
The occasion called for a sparkle of vintage Cartier (thanks Grandma!)
... and my favorite Ferragamo clutch, this time sans frosting.
Here's to another night of staining champagne glasses with red lipstick. I miss you LA, but I'm not quite ready to come back yet.
'Til next time, Ambitionistas!

Oh Heidi, you look utterly stunning! You’re so beautiful with that red dress!
You are every bit a goddess here, Heidi, a gorgeous goddess in red!
You are so lovely in red! You should wear this color more often, it brings out the best in you, especially your eyes 🙂
I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve stopped the traffic there, with that gorgeous red dress you’re wearing! I agree with everyone else, you look really stunning!
For sure you’ve knocked ’em all dead with your red dress, lips and nails! Gotta love a girl in red!
You look divine! It’s as if there’s a glow all over you.. You looked a bit Chinese, too and it looks gorgeous on you!
I’m sure, Chinese New Year there in KL was a brighter and more colorful with you around. You look exquisitely lovely in red, Heidi!
Sweetie, you’re not just gorgeous, you are glamorous! Wow! I have that Giorgio Armani red lipstick too, and yes, it really draws attention 🙂
Your Cartier necklace actually caught my eye, it looks exquisite and fashionable!
Fabulous! That’s what you are – with an air of grace and sophistication. Red really looks good on you!
You are a vision! I’d love to wear that red dress someday! Beautiful as always, Heidi!
Oh I love everything you’re wearing, from top to toe. Those jewelries really look magnificent with your fiery red dress. So fitting for Chinese New Year, I must say.
I’ve been using youthH2O too and it’s helped me a lot with my figure. Thanks for recommending it a few months ago. The result evidently shows on you! I love your red cocktail dress by the way.
I’m seeing red and I like it! Red looks really great on your Heidi :o)
You sure painted the town red and had almost everyone green with envy. You look really marvelously lovely Heidi 🙂
You’re dazzling! I love your red dress and the fur coat, but I think the best accessory you have is that necklace, it’s so elegant!
Red from head to foot, wow, you nailed that fiery look, I love it so much Heidi!
Heidi, you’re a knock out in red! I am soo jealous! I’ve actually been binge eating these past few days and I really need to shed some weight. I bought YouthH20, as per your recommendation and so far, this liquid diet is working on me. I can see the results in you and hopefully, in me too in the next coming weeks. Way to go, Heidi! 🙂
Just perfect! I’ve no more words, but perfect red!
I can’t help but agree with everyone. You are absolutely and breathtakingly divine! Red should always be your color, it makes you blush and beautiful 🙂
Everything about you, from head to toe, is amazing! I love red and this one looks spectacular on you. More pictures please 🙂
I remember a few months back, you told us about YouthH20, and I was once of those who tried it. Like you, I’ve been loyal ever since, it really does help me with my weight loss. And look at the result on you, you’re amazing!
What a gorgeous beauty inside and out! You should often use/wear red, it brings out the glow in you.
I’m a big fan of red and this one of yours definite stands out! I’m not gonna blame you if you indeed a ruckus of a traffic with that stunning red number! I must continue with my work-out so I can achieve that svelte figure, too and be able to wear my own red sparkler gown! That.Would.Be.Awesome!
My, my, my.. You really painted the town red in Malaysia, it looks really good on you!
You are definitely one of the few that can pull that red number off with beauty and grace. I love the whole look!
I’ve got nothing else to say… you’re perfect!
I love Armani Rouge #400, I know some celebrities prefer using it because it doesn’t stick on cups. I also used this on party/events. You look dashing in red, Heidi, I hope to see you in that scarlet number more often.
Not only you are a show stopper, you’re also a traffic jammer! Oh yes, you look really great in that red dress, I so love it!
You look absolutely amazing from had to foot, I love the hair, the jewelries, the red outfit, the clutch bag and those pair of shoes are really stunning! You surely stand out!
I’m sure the crowd went wild and applauding when they saw you cross the street wearing that traffic-stopping number. I sure would! Lovely and elegant, that’s who you are 🙂
I can definitely see the youthful glow in you, your face looks radiant especially with red! I love seeing you dress up like this, so elegant!
All of us agree, you look stunning in red! I love this whole outfit 🙂
Your classical beauty and elegance transcend time. You look really lovely!
You are fabulous and amazing, I would love to don a red outfit just like that. It looks perfect, from the coiffed hair to the accessories, simply fabulous!
Oh, I’ve seen your post-Oscars post and I think this one’s actually worth walking through the red carpet! You look stunning Heidi, you belong to the runway! 🙂
Oh, what a beauty you are! Perfect red outfit for one fine lady!
My, My… I love this red stunning dress! and that furcoat, so lovely!
Oh, Heidi, you’re that pretty lady walking down the street! I’m sure you look better in that red ensemble than Julia Roberts did in Pretty Woman!
Red looks stunning in you. Not only did you rule the streets, you also managed to stop traffic! Yay!
I absolutely love your look here! Why, red is my favorite color and it looks great on you! Really lovely!
You are absolutely stunning! SO lovely, Heidi, keep it up!

Wow, you are a goddess, Heidi! You look heavenly!
Thank you so much, Athena! You are too kind 🙂
I remember this outfit of yours a few months ago and got my tailor to copy it for me. I wore this same style on my company’s Christmas party and it was an amazing experience. I really did paint the town red with your ensemble. Thanks for being my fashion idol and icon!
You are very welcome!!! I am so happy that it worked out so well for you! I bet you looked stunning.
In less than a month, Chinese New Year is happening. I would love to wear this number during our party. You are my inspiration Heidi, I hope I could pull this off.
