Now, This Is What I Called Style

The over-sized blazer is my favourite style of the moment.. Who would have thought over-sized clothing could be so chic??

The rolled-up jeans is the up-and-coming trend, which has been seen on fashionistas like Sarah Jessica Parker, Katie Holmes and Rachel Bilson.

And the plaid/flannel shirt is making a comeback. Tres chic , I would say. So, raid your mom's or dad's closet right now.

Another style that ain't going anywhere is the infamous skinny jeans and the skinny tights, which are available in any colour you could think of (Black,dark wash, grey, white, red, cobalt blue, yellow,purple). They're also my favourite spring/summer/fall/ winter staple!

The Keffiyeh scarf donned on Girl no.1 (love her sandals b.t.w) and no. 4 is also another trend that fashionistas are still embracing now, which is glamorized by Balenciaga in their Fall 2007 show.

Layering, which is seen on Girl no.2 is also very in-style right now especially if you accessorized with a high-waisted skinny belt ala-Burberry.

The peep-toes booties worn by Girl no.3 is The "IT" trend right now, as I've mentioned in my previous post :)

Basics like a simple white tank-top and buttons-down are also very trendy right now. Guess you don't need any elaboration right? Those pictures said it all : Simple, yet versatile. Pair it up with a military-inspired jacket, denims, leather jacket or a scarf and you're good to go :)

Lastly, my most favourite style goes to:

Oh yes.. This timeless piece will definitely never go out of style. Regardless of whether you're 20,30 or 40; you could wear this and send a completely different message (in a fashionably-good way, of cos). And the gladiator heels?? Awesome finishing to the outfit!

Going Oxford

YESSSS!!! Finally my parcel arrived today!!! I'm definitely going Oxford :D (Not Oxford University leh). Wondering what I'm talking about???? Scroll down, baby!

Picked up from the post-office this morning :) Hailed all the way from the land of U,S and A.

"Delicious" box. Can you guess what's inside???

Any ideas on what is it??? Lingerie?? Maybe. Clothes?? Could be. Perfume??? Possibly.

Got the answer yet ??? One last chance before I gave out the answer... It's pretty obvious now, ain't it??

If you think it's a pair of shoes... Yes, you nailed it!! Pat yourself on the back :) Now, ladies & gentlemen, may I present to you.................

My Beloved BCBG -inspired Oxford Booties!

Aren't they gorgeous??

I've been obsessing with these oxfords for months before I finally found them on US ebay! It was quite cheap, excluding the shipping costs to Malaysia. The shipping costs are more expensive than the boots.. Haih...How I wish to live in US..But the overall price was pretty okay..

Frontal view. Nerdy style, ala-Agyness Deyn

It was my first time ever bidding on ebay at international level. It was pretty scary when you make the payment via credit card.. You know, those skeptical feeling.. Afraid that this might turned out to be a scam.

Killer heels!

I almost died of heart attack when I received an email from the seller saying that the product was defective during inspection and they won't be able to send the item to me..So, they'll refund the money to me..It got me so sad & confused cuz I've tracked the item and USPS stated that the oxfords have cleared Malaysia's custom. Turned out actually, the seller sent the wrong email to me.. I wasn't supposed to get that email.. Thanked God!!!!

Okies... Details about the booties now.. It's man-made leather (They looked like real leather, don't they?) , with 4-inch heels (I'm so gonna be 4 inches taller). Quite comfy.. But I think I won't feel my legs after an hour wearing them :p

I love love love love love them!!!!!

Initially, I thought of buying the one with the peep-toes, which is THE fall staple in the fashion capitals right now... But I decided to opt for the classics cuz it's timeless.

I'm head over HEELS....

Now, if you'll excuse moi...I'm signing off now to ogle at my new babies .. Till then!

p.s. Saw the exact same pair in Zara. But they're made of patent leather and retailing at RM 269.

Oh ya, Selamat Hari Raya & Happy Holidays,peeps!

I Covet. I Want. I Got.

I bet most of you are aware that gladiator sandals/wedges are all the rage now.

And yes, I got caught up with the rage ever since I saw them last summer on the likes of Kate Moss, Nicky Hilton , Nicole Richie and the Olsens twins.

I've waited and waited for the trend to come to Malaysia, and only a year later they're here..

Unfortunately, I couldn't get hold of the gladiators when they first debuted at Goss:ps. I was devastated . Since then, I have been searching high and lows for the Glads (tried my luck at Sg. Wang but to no avail, I even consider shipping them from the land of U,S and A cuz they are in abundant there!)

On one fine Wednesday afternoon.. I finally found the Gladiator wedges at Shebopboutique! (Online shopping is definitely the best creation ever since sliced bread!)

I was over the moon!!!!

Because those Glads are made from pig skin, so apparently that lessen the competition..Hahahahhaha.. Otherwise, they'll be sold out in no time!

Without hesitation, I quickly contact the owner and voila, two days later...

My darlings have arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I covet these! Super comfy and the lining feels like leather too!

A little side preview for the Glads lovers out there!

Aren't they gorgeous? By that, I meant my legs and of cos the gladiators too! Hohoho~

Now, ladies and gentlemen, if you'll excuse me.. I'm heading out to parade these beauties!

Introducing.....H.E.

Great news for all the lads cuz Mango (MNG) has launched the collection for men!!! It's known as Homini Emerito or H.E; in short.

I think it's a leap of faith for MNG as this is the first time that they are introducing the man's collection. It's yet to launch in Malaysia, but I'm loving them already!

If I were a guy, I would definitely wear those! So rugged!

I have a thing for guys in button-downs & leather jackets ;-p Which female doesn't??

I covet these styles! They totally make me go weak in the knees..

So far, the men collection is only available in the Europe & Middle East regions.Visit www.mango.com for the preview of the rest of the collection.

Come to think of it, it would be kindda weird if any guy shops for clothes in MNG in the future. I mean it's like they are wearing the same brand as their moms, sisters or girlfriends.Of course, we'll get used to it after some time.

p.s. It's so funny to think that my brother would shop for clothes in MNG in the future. Haha!

High Tide Flipper Heels

Well, good news for the ladies who love wearing high heels to the beach cuz High Tide Heels has created the flipper high heels for divers who has quirky taste in fashion!! (Totally bring your diving experience to a whole new level!)

TAA-DAAH......

Who said high heels aren't practical? You now can kill two birds with one stone.

So ladies, what do ya think? Yay or nay? For me, it's nay. Then again, I would love to see the reaction from people when I strut down the beach,clad in this peculiar footwear.

p.s. Hope this post kills your Monday blues.....

Short Cuts

With the recent trend of short hair cuts, I decided to jump on the bandwagon too. Since I have to give my Pob a little trim..Why not a change of style?? And hence I made up my mind to go for the pixie cut....

This time around, I went to Kimarie Hair Academy in Bukit Bintang for the hair make over cuz it's super cheap. Only RM 7 for cut and wash!! Super cheap ler??? Hahaha the reason is because I'm good-looking! my hair was cut by students of the academy. So technically, I'm like the experiment for the students to hone their skills... I know, it sounds so skeptical right.. To let your hair cut by a student...Haha no fret... They are actually supervise by professional hair stylists. Believe me, I've been there countless times since I was in my teens. (Although I only started to go back there again this year)

Since they have shifted from BB Plaza to a building opposite Federal Hotel, I decided to go to Kimarie instead of Thomas & Guy Hair Academy (Due to the shift, it actually leads me to Thomas & Guy the last time I got my hair cut before CNY). The minute the student lead me to the salon chair, I kindda regretted my decision of choosing Kimarie over Thomas cuz the interior design of Kimarie looks a bit old & dilapidated... Totally different from last time..

Anyways, after two hours sitting on the salon chair, may I present to you...

The final outcome of my pixie cut..... (brace youselves!)

Love the negative effect =)

At first, I was so afraid that the style won't suit me so I did a little research to get some inspirations.. And here are my inspirations...

The minute I laid eyes on her in War of In-laws 2, I fell in love with her tres chic hair style. So I brought this pic to the salon and voila , my new pixie cut!

Well, actually I love Myolie's hair style too.. So sexy.. But since I doesn't have a sharp chin, I decided to go against it.. Maybe I'll try it someday...

Last but not least, the sexy and sultry Rihanna.. I think the picture says it all, right?Gorgeous! Especially her side swept bangs..

All in all , I'm in love with my new pixie cut! Initially, I didn't expect much cuz you know, they are like just students and it's only RM 7.But, thanks to the final touches by the professional hair stylist....It's exactly what I want...Oh ya, the best part is definitely the super cheap price !!!

What do you guys think? Yay or nay??

It's A Girl!

Oh finally... The arrival of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden's newborn daughter on 11th January !The baby's name is Harlow Winter Kate Madden (try to say it as fast as you could :D)

How time flies...When we (Well,at least I am) were all in shocked as we found out that she was pregnant....I mean..She was the party animal/drug addict and suddenly she has a bun in the oven??? How could she even take care of the baby? Well, of cos..That would be my least worries...She could hire nannies to help her after all...OR..She could end up like another Britney Spears. We'll just wait and see.....

Although her future parenting skills are questionable, I gotta say she's got a fine taste in fashion especially throughout her pregnancy.. She totally brings maternity fashion to a whole new level =)

See for yourself....

How cute could she get with the red beret and black trenchcoat? Look at her in that Zebra-print dress...Totally gorgeous!

Who says you can't be stylish and sexy when you are pregnant? I think being pregnant definitely makes her body looks much much better...At least she got some curves now compared to the anorexic frame during her pre-pregnancy days...

Okay..She even looks good in a bikini..Argh..She's the envy of every pregnant mothers..Geez, she has officially become my fashion-guru ;-p

p.s. Congratulations to the first time parents!

Gossip Girl

Has become my latest obsession currently. It's a US drama series that was created by the same producer that produced The O.C. , Josh Schwartz but it's nothing like The O.C.

The series is basically about a group of scandalous teenage socialites who live in the glamorous and sophisticated Upper East Side of New York City. These rich teenagers live the high life - all they do are shop, party and drink. But as teenagers, they deal with sex, drugs and problems with their friendships and relationships.

The narrator, Gossip Girl, is an unseen character who runs a blog about the lives of these teenagers, and is always on the lookout for the scoop on everything and everyone. Rumor has it that Kristen Bell plays the role of Gossip Girl.

The casts are wayy hotter than The O.C.Let's take a peek, shall we?

Serena was the IT girl in her school before she mysteriously dissappear for boarding school in Conneticut. However, she returned to NYC due to her brother's admittance into rehab. ( I still think that her return to NYC aren't that simple).Serena keeps a steady string of admirers, including Dan Humphrey & Nate Archibald.

Blair, Serena's BFF, is rather vain, though her friendship with Serena causes her to be insecure at times. Blair uses her charm, money, and social clout to get whatever she wants. She's like the Queen Bee at school and has 2 sidekicks, Kati and Iz.Her father left her mom and her for a male model. Blair's character is very uptight and she's always never good enough for her mother, Eleanor Waldorf ,who is a renowned fashion-designer in NYC.

Nate, is also from prominent families in NYC. His dad is a lawyer who forces him to follow his foot steps. He's also Blair's long-time boyfriend...They are like childhood sweethearts. Hence, his dad always pressure him to marry Blair in order to help his dad to score a deal for his law firm. Has slept with Serena before she left for boarding school.(FYI, his real-life girlfriend is none other than American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood)

Chuck is the epitome of rich-spoiled kids who loves sex and alcohol. He's Nate's best buddy and kindda close with Blair too. Both of them have successfully plotted a plan to tarnish Serena's reputation during Ivy Week. He has feelings for Blair too. They even have a secret affair not long after Nate broke up with Blair. He even tried to sleep with Serena and Jenny too. ( Do you think he looks a lil' bit like Jonathan Rhys Meyers?)


Ahh..My favourite character in the series..Dan Humphrey. Not from any prominent families in NYC...Secretly in love with Serena for 2 years before finally becoming her boyfriend after she returned from boarding school. He's funny at times..Kindda goofy too..Nonetheless, he's a very intelligent guy who has a smokin' hot rock- star-cum-art-gallery-owner father. Oh by the way, his dad had a history together with Serena's mom. Talk about 4th degree of separation...Scandalous, aren't they???? Indeed.



Aww..Little Jenny Humphrey..Dan's lil' sister who wants to be the next IT girl ala Serena ...Would do anything to try to fit into the rich and fabulous clique in her school i.e. Blair and her sidekicks. Once, she even betrayed her brother's secret in order to win Blair's heart. A good seamstress though, always make her own clothes that are kindda stylish. (I know..not in this picture..Hate the purple stockings)

So that's a little summary about the series and the characters.....

Now, it's time for the gorgeous fashion featured in the show!!! Gosh..Love it! Love it! Love it!

Why can't our school uniforms be like theirs?

The series gets more and more scandalous after each episode. Can't wait for the next episode!

The One That Got Away

Today I went shopping with my mom at KLCC and being the usual MANGO addict, I wouldn't miss paying a visit to the outlet =) . I saw this tiered maxi dress a long time ago and didn't really pay attention to it until I knew that maxi dresses are the IT trend for the summer. So, I decided to give it a try since it was the last piece on the rack.. (There's a lady who even asked me where do I get that dress...But I told her it was the last piece..hehehehe ..I think she would rock the style cuz she has the height)

The tiered maxi dress by Milla Jovovich for Mango

When I put the dress on...I was like: Oh my gosh!!! I love it!!! I love how the skirt flows and there's hidden pockets by the side...I love the boho feel it exudes...However, it wasn't really practical to wear it..Seriously, I couldn't think of any occassion to wear it in Malaysia...Maybe when I'm having luncheon by the park with friends???? How often do I have lunch by the park anyways??? And it's way too casual for a wedding dinner....LOL...It's also retailing at RM 115.00.. Well, a tad too expensive I think and I would have to buy a pair silver/gold of thongs to match the dress too... I ALMOST wanted to get it.My mom zaps me back to reality by asking the sensible question, "When are you going to wear it ???" and I answered , "The model (Milla) wears it to the beach in the photoshoot". Both of us burst out laughing and left the outlet.Gosh, I love shopping with my mom. I couldn't stop thinking about the dress though.

Here are some of the maxi dresses I found online:

Multi-coloured maxi dress from Topshop

Tulip print maxi dress from Topshop

Maxi dress by T Bags. The colour of the dress is gorgeous!!!
