Sasha P for Numero #116

(photos by Greg Kadel)

my favorites in the lot.
i love Sasha but i'd really like to flick the cigarette off her hand in the first photo. it doesn't add any artistic value to the editorial at all. just. totally. redundant.

Lara Stone for Vogue US, September 2010

it's been a while since i've actually noticed an editorial of Lara's seeing how most of them had her flashing her C cups and featured the absence of her eye-brows. but despite the lack of expression here, i have to admit that she looks elegant and well, gorgeous. the first photo's my favourite.

Rara the Raccoon

(Topshop cropped rectangle top, Mango fitted jeans, Warehouse studded bucket bag, Zara platformed clogs, F21 accessories)

thanks to the girls at Monoxious, Charmaine and i headed down to busy Orchard Road sans make-up, excited to get a makeover done. what got us excited was that we were sent to La Coco's where Charm got her hair personally done by Jean Pierre who have fixed the hair of many korean artists including ss501's Kim Hyun Joong's! {:

so, for those interested, all you have to do is show up at basement 1 of OC on Sundays from now till October, get your make-up and hair done by professionals, get your photo taken and ta-dah, you might just be the next face of OC! {: it's definitely a fun experience to have with your girlfriends if you find yourself, like us, spending way too much time on the www doing nothing at all.

CN to the Blue

(New Look asymmetrical shirt and sandals, F21 black cut-offs and cross necklace, Warehouse studded bucket bag)

last night was just another evening at the airport, drowning in fan-girl-dom with hundreds of screaming girls waiting for Kpop group, CNBlue's arrival before getting some Popeye's. [pardon the lack of make-up+bad hair] 'twas a last minute decision but we still managed to snag pretty good spots-prolly due to it being a school night, poor primary school/ secondary kids are stuck at home studying. muahahaha!

anyway, it's a pity you cant really see my new bag i got from Warehouse here. it's so soft and leathery and small and studded and convenient and best of all, was slashed down from $133 to $49! how could i walk away from that right? {:
ps. be a dear and fund my Diploma by shopping at Distressedress! :D

Georgia May Jagger for W, Sept 2010

i dont really care for Georgia here tbh. i might love it more if it was Coco Rocha/ Stam in this editorial. maybe. nonetheless, i love the set of the photoshoot!

happy birthday singapore

(gifted overall, black sports bra, Zara clogs)

singapore turned 45 last weekend and my aunt invited us to Marina Bay Sands to catch the spectacular fire-works show up on the sky park. it was pretty amazing really, minus the fact that there were throngs of people and it took the staff about 5 hours to get us our room. tsk. anyway, i couldnt find the platforms that i wanted at Zara but found these clogs instead, marked down from $199 to $59! of course, i had to get them. {:

i cant wait to do a post on all the stuff that i'd bought this past few weeks. im excited. :D for now, peace out!

Fashion Blogger "Must-Haves"

in the past couple of years, fashion blogs have blossomed into something much more than just sites on the world wide web. these blogs have garnered tons and tons of viewership, enough to possess great power/ influence over the fashion-conscious masses. here're a few items that've created a wave among fashionistas across cyber-space, and beyond.

remember that iconic Crocodile dress from the Christopher Kane for Topshop collection not too long ago? i recall wanting it so bad, despite the fact that i couldnt afford it's price tag of over 200 bucks. then Zara came up with these cat-printed onesies that were very Miu Miu. they flew off the shelves before i could even lay my hands on them.

now don't tell me you haven't noticed these YSL Arty rings on the fingers of your favourite fashion bloggers. Caroline Feber has one, 4th and Bleeker's Alexandra has one, Le Blog de Sushi's Sushi has one, Rumi has a couple.. and that F21 cross double-finger ring that ive coveted for for the longest time everrrr. SIGH.

a girl cant ever have enough heels, yes? i can only dream of having those Acne Atacoma and D&G wedges, Miu Miu satin platforms and Jessica Simpson's Dany platforms in my possession. i doubt the Atacomas are comfortable but ah well! no pain no gain. im not a fan of those Chanel clogs but you cant deny how popular that chunk of footwear is. everyone has one now! tsk.

here's a little piece of advice [that i dont take heed of but am still gonna dish out to you anyway]: before you jump on the bandwagon of every "must-haves" of the moment, think. really, most readers arent very well off and blowing a whole wad of cash on items that're "hot" on impulse burns/ will burn.

ps. entries might come slow; ive started working! (Y)

the little stunner.

that's Freja as a kid, looking just like any other happy kid in Denmark. who knew she'd grow up to be an internationally known star of the runway? love her, like, totally. {:

jeepers Creepers

Catherine McNeil in Vogue Australia, September 2010

this makes me want a pair of creepers to creep around in so bad.
