What I Want Today : Tory Burch.

2007-10-11T09:49:00.000-07:00

Ive always been deeply mesmerized by Tory Burch's collections. Forgive me for I; once again have decided to put my lust for shoes (flats in specific) to the neautral gear(just to ease up the tense a little) by posting this up (till i get my hands on this particular one) and sharing my vivid passion here with you.

Animal Print Reva Ballet Flats; Tory Burch.

Something different for me i must say. Im not much of an animal print lover but this one just makes me feel like wetting my pants not to have a pair. The whole design is super chic and fun. It oughta boost up my somewhat boring shoe collection. I have shoes of almost every colour; but this, now this is that perfect missing puzzle piece that could almost complete my wardrobe masterpiece.They have it in leopard or giraffe print. personally, i think the griraffe print would work better since i secretly think leopard prints are a little too tacky for now.

Katherine Heigl spotted:

See those shoes? yes, fuck i must have them!

The 'knocked up' movie star was spotted having a smoke during her lunch at The Ivy Beverly Hills. Carrying a red Valentino bag (which is sold out everywhere) looking totally fab with matching nails. Im loving tht shade of red on her polished pale skin. Having on a striped reversible Juicy Couture cardigan and True Religion jeans, who wont agree that she has successfully pulled of that casual but highly polished look. Of course, also with the help of her Tory Burch Leopard print flats in giraffe print! Shit. have i mentioned that i have to have one of those?

Lots of Love,
My fckin shoe fetish and I.

Studded Philosophy.

2007-10-08T09:45:00.000-07:00

What happens when edgy/punk rock meets sophistication? A pure must have intelligence. Kick up the boldness to your look with these killer studs to simply rock your shit out this season.
Black metal studded flats by marc jacobs. (Also available in white)

Im absolutely loving these beauties. Ive been struck by that damn shoe cupid the minute i laid my eyes on them and im not the only one who seems to be all ga ga. Apparently, Mischa Barton, Nicole Ritchie and Rachel Bilson are facing the same type of aphrodisiacal attraction towards this particular marc jacobs creation pretty much as well. (sorry, not many pics this time)

These studded royalty would magically add and finalise that ultra 'umph' (cant believe what i said was so tacky) the minute u slip em on. Its the new it to the whole accessory vocabulary. scratch that. The fckin shoes could possibly be the only accessory i ever need for an outfit (maybe exaggerating a little here). Its amazing how just the wonders of its design could bring out such a stylish statement out of an ordinary outfit. Throw in a matching chic bag and u might just have urself an orgasm looking at your reflection in the mirror (shit now i sound like some fckin horny pervert but you know what im trying to say here). Im not saying tht with these u cant throw in other accessories; im simply stating tht the shoes itselves are sleek enough to reach that certain perfection to your look. 'The more the merrier' they say? I say fuck that shit. As you can clearly see, the studs are already being the bold statement in your outfit, why let it sink in by piling more accessories on yourself. flaunt it now that u have it babe.

Lots of love.

Bright Opaque Tights.

2007-10-01T23:42:00.000-07:00

You know how those pantyhose and opaque tights are typically part of either a school uniform, tht 'sexy secretary' office attire, or a fashionable accessory to keep u warm every F/W. Well they used to! This season, the classical opaques had been brought to a whole new edgier level.

Im loving the colours; not so sure bout those bright blue ones though. The shade of it just looks oh so wrong to me. Definitely loving the ones those coach cotalogue models are wearing(first pic frm above; and damn i wish i have those legs). A total must have for this season, a bright daring option; just in case when the whole pants thing is getting boring.

How to wear it:
#1 option.

Could be worn with short waistless dresses either printed or plain. These tights are meant to complete the whole 'statement' look but do ensure that they dont somehow end up clashing colours with the choice of dress/top. My opinion, these tights are best worn with most basic tops/dresses with good texture and cutting; not only to play safe, but to add that extra class of simplicity with a bold texture and a splash of some royal colours playing their roles thus adds them to an automatic A-list fashion combo.
Loving the leather dress combo. Also adoring those ankle tights (pic 3).

tops/dresses:

#2 option:

To have that ultra edgy look; layer em with a pair of shorts. not just any pair though. Do avoid wearing these with those type of 'tight fitting-shorty shorts-that just sticks right to ur thighs' kinda shorts; and try opting with one of those pipe shorts instead, make sure they are short enough, fits perfectly around the waist and has a slight flare to leave space around the thighs where it ends. Here are a couple of shorts that are simply fab to layer them tights with.

these are my ultimate fav combo:
high waist shorts, purple short sleeved top, black cap sleeved crop jacket, brown leather strap shoes; all from topshop. Brown paddington bag; chloe.

Full Tights options:
word of advise; lose those capri tights/leggings and make way for the new shits; them bright full opaques, ankle tights and knee high socks. know how to style it people.

Lots of love.

To Not Be A Damn Plastic Bag.

2007-09-30T08:51:00.000-07:00

I am fully aware that the whole 'Im not a plastic bag' frenzy by Anya Hindmarch was yesterday's news; but i cant help but to express my unsatisfaction here.
So thats the bag everyone's been fussing about. A very cute enviromental friendly tote designed to encourage people to execute the action of reducing the amount of plastic bag usage to save the environment all across the globe. Plus, its great to use as a shopping bag, or for a trip to the wet market. Finding that the bag was a total must have item, I woke up at 6am, left home around 7am and drove all the way to klcc to find that the line was bloody three floors long; people were literally camping there,seriously. I guess i was late. a little. as usual. In front of me was a very old lady who looked like she was about to collapse and pass any damn minute during that very moment and behind me stood a bunch of youngsters around the same age as me yapping non stop about how they're gonna walk around with a real plastic bag with 'i am a plastic bag, so fucking what?' written on it that is IF they dont get a chance to grab hold of one of the bags, when three girly gay men was strutting towards our way with the bags on each of their hands with an annoying 'hah, nailed u guys!' look on their friggin faces. And there I was, with a focaccia turkey cheese sandwich in one hand and a grande choc chic frap in the other(trying hard not to look like a starving hobo), chewing down on my breakfast. So three long hours passed and i was two meters away from the door, when(how predictable), the bags were already sold out. Well, i didnt wail or cry although i did feel like shedding down a tear or two. Instead, i opt for the optimistic side of me by telling my self 'hey, its only a bag; plus, uve only heard about it last minute.' Whatever it is, good luck to the teenagers earlier with those pink plastic bags they were talking about.

A few weeks later,

It was fucking everywhere!! Magazines, Headlines, Television, Internet(selling on eBay now at 200bucks)! We all know it was like a fucking Mega of All friggin designer sales (It was on sale for rm50), but help me get over it here! As usual when in distress, the damsel seeks for retail therapy. Sadly, no help there as well; everytime i browse through a rack and as i look up, i see another girl carrying the damn bag. Envious, i try to take a closer look everytime hoping it would be an imitation. Of course, at that time i thought it was impossible to have replicas of those.

Until, my eyes proved me wrong. Went back to mummy's hometown two weeks ago, had dinner at a restaurant nearby some mall. As i was going up the escalator, a tiny colourful stall caught my attention.They sold different types of fugly bags when one caught my eye. It was non other than a fake replica of the 'Im not a plastic bag' tote. Went closer, checked the prize, they were selling it for 20 bucks. Disgusted and amused at the same time, I still dont quite know why, i walked away with a blooming satisfaction in me.

Im over the bag now, ive got a new one on my ultimate wish list. I guess the demands on the 'not a plastic' bag was so high, Anya Hindmarch came up with some sequels..
Anya Hindmarch 'To Hell In A Handbag' tote.

Anya Hindmarch 'Girls Need Bags' tote.

Simply Gorgeous, A hell lot more of a Bag than the so called 'not' plastic one. And of course, the costs arent as cheap too. Im completely obsessed by these new two. Definitely getting my hands on this one.

Lots of Love.

Shoe Fetish.

2007-09-28T03:37:00.000-07:00

Two words. Shoe frenzy. Im all crazy over shoes lately. A big round of applause for shoe designers around the world for giving birth to designs so pretty, ive decided that my feet could possibly be my favourite part of the body(except that mine has awful blisters from wearing those killer pumps). So here are some totally hot designs that im wetting my pants for..
The ankle strap/dorothy oz/china pumps(or for tht odd one there, wedges). These beauties are seen paired and worn with full tights(pantyhose) or naked legs worn with shorts/mini dresses by style divas from designer runway models to girls in teenvogue fashion spreads.
Anna Sui's Fall07. See those pumps? Me likey.

TeenVogue spread on Dakota Fanning. Yeah, she's a kid; but besides her kick ass acting skills, she's got style most big girls dont. I shall salute her. Especially with those classy black ankle straps!

Another TeenVogue spread. This time, they put the Olsen twins in the hot seat. One of my top 5 in my celebrity fashion icon list. Killer heels gives the Mary-janes a little bit of edge. loving them.

Moving on to other designs..

Im really loving the Rhinestones studdes flats.. Okay, dont mind me; im more of the type who wear ballet pumps and flats most of the time. literally. They're just so me. Ive got them in all sorts of colours and designs since somehow i l.o.v.e to 'collect' them. More flats craze for me to share with you!

Nine West 'Berna' Studded Rhinestone Ballets in yellow.

Nine West 'Dottie' Square Studded Ballets.

Topshop Rhinestone Studded Flats in bronze with black trimming.

okay, to finish off my passion for flats presentation..
there! A gorgeous collection of flats and pumps; all by Topshop. fckin love the designs. I want all!

Lots of love.

The Bright Skinnies.

2007-09-28T00:44:00.000-07:00

This season, coloured skinnies are really becoming a big hit among celebs. Brighten up your outfit and look fckin fab with these..
personally, i'd like to settle with the darker shades(worrying my legs would look fat in pastels). Otherwise, i'd say go for it! Do i even need to tell you how to wear these? uh huh. I didnt think so either. Again, its all about how you style it. Okay, maybe later i'll post up some ideas of how to work these pants with ultimate stylish simplicity; just so you wont end up looking like circus clowns or a flag banner.

Lots of love.

Lets Talk Metallics.

2007-09-27T09:03:00.001-07:00

Looks like Beyonce and Nelly furtado has got to store back all those gold bling, coz metallics are back! Currently, ive got myself all over those silver metallics. *Sigh* another pecfect way to add that particular zing to an ordinary basic old outfit. Im not only talking about silver jewelleries here, Im picturing bold accessories of silver shoes, bags, scarves and even pets(if only i get to spray paint my cat)! Careful though, too many sparkles and you'll end up looking like nothing but a walking disco ball, hun. Here are a few picks..
Anya Hindmarch silver flats with buckle. For that sophisticated classy look. Perfect to be worn either day or night. Pair these babies up with tights, short dresses or even those favourite jeans. Trust me, they're worth splurging for!
What other ways to seal your look to perfection if not to have the matching tote for the matching flats. Also by Anya Hindmarch.

Searching for something between the budget?
Metallic knotted ballet flats from Topshop. Cute and classy altogether. What can i say, Topshop comes up with great designs! the pricing range is so much of a steal. An awesome place for teenage fashionistas to shop.
Also loving this metallic clutch/wristlet. Just the shit to hit parties, dinners and even a day out. Im so getting one myself!
Last but definitely not least, a wide panel waistbelt from Topshop to top off your look. These types of belts are spotted wearing by style divas from female celebrities to super models! A little too much for just one thing? Try wearing it with basics like a sexy white tanktop or a blouse with those perfect black pair of skinnies or shorts. Want something more chic? try pulling off the gwen stefani inspired look with a pair of black high waist shorts instead. for those total style divas, wear it with a flirty deep purple top and match it with some blacks and greys. If you're wearing a chunky metallic accesory, try to minimize the rest of what you're wearing. A basic tone of handbag or shoes perhaps. Its really all about how you style it.

Lots of love.

Anna Sui Fall 2007 II

2007-09-27T02:39:00.000-07:00

The classic original shades of fall having put a kick of edge and the results? fcking mind blowing. Period.

Apparently waistless dresses are the shit for this season of fall. Save your waistcoats and vests for other days to come. Sui spices up the look by throwing on some metallics to it and not to mention those super cute ankle strapped flat pumps! looks like those dorothy's have gained some sleek-edgy attitude while maintaining to be a pure classic. Who ever said black and grey could ever be boring?

Ahh. Here's another one. True classic. See, im much more of a summer's type of girl; i love summer and every bit there is to it. From the sunny beach and the smell of coconut scented tanning lotions straight to those cute summer dresses and flip flops. And i shall admit, ive always thought fall and winter could be nothing less but dull. Scratch that. who am i kidding now? Based on the Fall collections ive been seeing lately, im willing to take all that shit back. Im loving Fall! and having the thought of what more brilliant creations coming up next season that our genius designers have in store for us; im getting all these perky excitement tingles rushing. Im finding these uneasy thrill rather annoying honestly. i seriously cant wait! I mean, look at them! My favourite part of this collection are the colours used. One of those typical colours u get every Fall, brownish orange; but paint little spots of deep purple and dark brown here and there, you've might just be mistaken as one of those girls in teen vogue. ha ha. okay, im exaggerating. but u know what am i talking about here right. Its like painting your style with the shades of autumn and fall. Except that u get to really stand out. Ahh. im going to stop blabbering now. Im so in love with Anna Sui's creations i'd marry them!

more love!

Anna Sui Fall 2007

2007-09-26T15:57:00.000-07:00

The season's classic grey has found its perfect companion to carry along throughout this season as an 'it' colour this fall. The season's shade is indeed, my fav colour ever, purple! No, im not talking about lavender or lilac; for this season's style im talking about among the darkest shade of purple. the darker the better! we're talking about fall here, so you must know what i mean.

One of my top favoured designers; Anna Sui, never fails to inspire me especially with her new collection for Fall of 2007. Having the models to walk her genius creations based on her signature colours of black and purple and a splash of the indie-boho look with shades of grey, blue and brown; once again Sui has managed to leave me all Ga-ga just by staring at the fashion show pictures.

Here are a few of my personal favourites:

Im lovin the way the different shades and colours are blended together on some outfits without clashing or making the outfits seem too over the top. A perfect way of playing with purple according to my opinion. im not much of an A-line skirt fan since my legs are not all that lengthy but looking at those, i might just consider trying.

More favourites:

boho chic combo from a fusion of vintage designs like paisley and a dash of that tribal twist topped off with some fur to add that little bit of class and elegance to the whole look. I hope that the thing one her head (second from left pic) isnt real fur though. Cant imagine wearing a dead animal's skin on my head. And to be wrapped around that fur that was taken by skinning a poor furry creature, i choose not to imagine. Im an animal lover, so note of advice; try opting for a high end grade of faux fur people. They look so similar you can hardly tell. Have mercy on those animals!

lots of love.

Work your inner style. Not sure if you have one? then create your personal style. be original, as they say.

"How many cares does one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.." -Quotes Coco Chanel. So lets not be in denial here. If you chose to ignore, you probably wouldnt have gone through the effort to blog hate posts about 'people' in the first place. Got a problem? come say it to the person's face. no need to go all childish and throw bitch fits for public to view and pretend like nothing happened when meeting in person. And as much as i do think that public personal blogging is just another way of pleading for attention as much as pathetically posting bitch blogs are; which is why this isnt a personal journal to even begin with, you should know by heart that one of the rules of true style: note that bringing others down would only make you lose your classiness. No point talking shit or blaming people in any way of setting it all public trying to make other 'People' look dumb. 'People' wouldnt want to do the same as you, knowing that it would only put them as low as you are. Do hav a sense of pride and choose to hold on to your dignity before you plan to execute any plan of action based on your unsatisfactory. Its not a crime, i know; but i certainly find it disgusting. note: when you keep blogging shits about other people it would only seem as though you have some sort of obsession towards them. Hating wont make you any prettier now will it? Neither does bringing other people down in public. As much as i believe that everyone has their own beauty; and i bet im not the only one who seems to think so, you are only indirectly begging to differ by pulling such a childish stunt as so whilst acknowledging the fact that you are just as pretty ugly on the inside as much as you are on the outside. How oxymoronic. Thats the perception you would get for being such a hater, babe. Suggestion: give it up and put a stop to any further pathetic embarassment towards yourself. Better yet, get off people's back. Note: ignorance is bliss. So 'people' couldnt care any less about your pathetic crisis; the only thing thats bothering is that its about 'them' you're talking about. watch it girl, u might just land yourself into shit here.So give it up. point for this whole blab: being a pathetic bitch is so unstylish. And as the famous pop/sex icon says, "dont hate on me just coz u didnt come up with it."

"Learn to love yourselves and others, people."
