Writer's Block

Yes. I was blocked.
Still kinda blocked.

Doesn't really matter because people don't actively check my blog.
Heck. I could type on here that I have a crush on Simon Yin and Derrick Fong and no one would do anything with that info.

But, it's exactly for that reason that I do like writing here.
Right. So since November, haven't posted anything up.
That's because I have been busy trying to change the world with my wonderful words.
Now, I am back. Not so busy and not so successful.

Will stick with fashion, beauty & occasional xxx columns ( yes. that kind of xxx)

What do we have today?
If all else fails, do a Megan Fox.
White T-shirt, Jeans & Boots.

Come on. you must have that in your wardrobe.
if you don't, go bury yourself because you will never look any good.

The LBD

2008-11-27 4:14PM / 標準BLOG

It's that time again... a festive period of too many martinis and justified stranger snoggings.
Tired of working that SAME Little Black Dress (LBD)?

The ladies at Fontainebleau Hotel Opening And Victoria's Secret After-Party in Miami show us how....

Heidi Klum & Seal - The Power Couple
Sure, we don't have Seal as arm candy, but we can take hints from Klum's ultra-posh outfit. Slap on a statement belt, don't be afraid to move it higher to give an impression of an hour-glass figure. Gotta love those netty stockings,opt for lace-motifs instead of the conventional net stockings.

Noimie Lenior- Bringing Sexy Back
Perfect! To avoid drawing attention away from the statement dress, Noimie went for minimal accessories and black strappy stilettos. Like Donatella Versace said, " The back is the sexiest part of a women's body." Work the back, ladies.

Molly Sims- The Hot Toga
Remembered for her role in Las Vegas as Delinda DeLine, Molly has once again amazed us with her natural beauty. Once again, pulled loose wavy hair and minimal accessories makes this look a hit Hit HIT!!

Eve- The Classic Black
Of course most of us don't have those paw print tattoos, but Eve turns this simple look into a stunner. Instead on focusing to make these dresses look amazing, achieve the same look by switching up the accessories, i.e clutch and shoes. Then again, just be mad confident

Next entry: Why we love Marc Jacobs... =]

Ribbons & Bows Galore!!

2008-11-25 11:59AM / 標準BLOG

Ever so girly and sweet, bows no longer are confined to our hair. Instead they adorn everything! In a homage to the darling innocence of ribbons & bows, I present.....

HOT OFF MARC JACOBS 09 SPRING LINE...

It's darling.... Look at that ribbon!...
Topping my must-have list! <3

Salvatore Ferragamo Maddalena d'orsay
A fantastic twist to the classic Ferragamos, this slip-on puts a girly twist to a day-to-day wardrobe. Perfect for skinny jeans!

Valentino Noeud Tote
Made with nappa leather and making it heaven to touch, this Valentino bag adopts a conventional twist to the usually ribbon tote. Want to spark 'fantastic bag' convos? This is it!

Marc Jacobs Gladiator Shoes
I wonder, does Marc ever design anything that is disliked at all? errr... nothing at all. Gladiator shoes are usually quite sexy siren but thanks to Marc, ribbons make it cute and sweet.

Badgley Mischka 'Clara' Swarovski Crystal Watch
Yes, it is a watch. All glitz and glam, this is one hella of a collectable piece. Enough said!

Betsey Johnson' 'Girlie Charms' Layered Necklace
Known for her eclectic designs and vibrant colors, Betsey takes a take back into gentler colors for a softer look. With the coming winter season, this necklace is perfect to bring color to our blacks & grey in our wardrobe.

Yves Saint Laurent 'The Bow Collection' Duo Color Lip Palette
Remembered for saying "Fashions fade. Style is eternal", YSL is known for his must-have classic pieces. Simple in design but functional, this lip duo is looking to adorn our bags and anything that needs decorating.
p.s. it serves as a bracelet as well...

Do it yourself TIPS:
1) Go through those boxes and dig out the hair ties and bows from our childhood days. The more colorful the better.
2) Ribbon hair clips could also be used to fasten to trousers or jeans. (Think loop hole where belts is placed.)
3) If the bow is big or brightly colored, opt for a simple outfit and try matching accessories instead.
4) For a 60's hairstyle look, swept hair to the side and fasten the bow low above the ears.

Booty Booties

2008-11-24 11:47AM / 標準BLOG

So it's almost winter.
&& I have thinking about getting new boots.

But, everyone is wearing UGG Boots.
I have always worn UGG.

GIve up on my beloved UGGies? NO WAY!
Ah-ha. What about designer booties?

Hence, the Chanel UGGies! yay!

On a different note...

Fifth Annual CFDA/VogueFashion Fund Awards (in NYC)
November 18th: p.s. Alex Wang won.. yay!

In the heart of New York, what better place to seek the inspiration and design from style central?

YES PLEASE!
Charlie Theron
Charlie Charlie, always a classic beauty. Putting a subtle twist to the LBD with to-the-side patent leather bows. & most scandalous of all, the sheer fabric climbing up those leggers.

Amy Astley, in Thakoon, and Chanel Iman, in Daughters.
Iman, looking smart, aren't we? Taking hints from the newest trend in haute couture, Gentlemen-ly ways. She looks amazing with the balloon-shaped high-waisted pants, bringing in feminine touches with that lovely butterfly bow.

Blake Lively
Only Blake could pull this look off. Excellent concept tho. Show less, want more. Very classy.
Not sure about the boots tho, think the look would be much gentler with flats.

2008 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist Alejandro Ingelmo with Agyness Deyn, in shoes of his design.
Agyness Agyness... when are you going to stop fascinating us with your tough girl appeal? Want to know how red is done properly? this is red done properly. Not overdone but knowing that red is a strong color and needs to be muted with black tones. New thing? Match the lips to the shoes.

Harvey Weinstein and Georgina Chapman, in her own design for Marchesa
Love how simple this ensemble is... One-tone tube dress with flower details. Excellent with minimal accessories and color-toning pumps. Also note tube dress line, it's shaped in a bent line which allowing for enhancing curvature of body vs a straight line.

DONT'S!
For the sake of them, let's keep them unnamed...
errr... what is this totally sheer-ness? It unflattering to the bust and legs. Makes it look like she has horrible bow-legged-ness. If it's sheer top, no sheer bottom perhaps? This outfit sits nowhere in between.

She has an excellent body. But with such a sexy tight bondage dress, it kinda feels like she has to soften it uup to avoid being TOO overboard. Perhaps, let down the hair in loose waves? Remove the necklace for unnecessary clutter and make the shoes and bangles match, wither gold or silver. Pick one, I would go with gold to better match her skin tone.

I know it's all the rage to overlap and layer different fabrics and textures this season, but sequins and feathers in one go? Too much. With any luxe piece, to avoid looking like an over-decked Christmas Tree, pair it with plain trousers to have a more streamlined lined look?

TREND SPOTTING

One-piece jump-suits. Not only is it hot this winter, but look out for it in the summer with more willowy fabrics.....
