Target Customer Speaks Up As a presenter and writer for CBS Interactive on CNet Asia website, I enjoy the work I do reviewing the latest technology and gadgets. Dress wise, I like to shop for trendy and sexy clothes for the clubs but I also have an array of stylish office outfits for work. Going out with my friends to shop and clubs is a way I let loose after work. It is also a time I meet new friends and build up my network as I share with them the interest and passion I have about technology, debating with them about whether the Andriod or the Apple OS system is better.

I love hair accessories, how they add style to my hair and match what I am wearing! Allure is a fantastic idea because I just can’t get enough of trendy, quality accessories at an affordable price complete my look.
