Fashion Week Favorites

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

I actually tried to take some outfit photos with my new camera today but they didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to be. I found out that I need to buy some good lens (especially for portrait photos that’s in the same level as jakeandjill or the satorialist) but I’m going to buy them anyway so that I can take quality photos.
Here are some of my favorites from fashion week plus the one dress I can’t wait to buy from Topshop.

Dark, polished eyebrows from Alexander Wang! I’ve always preferred thick eyebrows for myself because I feel like they make the whole face stands out!One of my favorite looks from Marc Jacobs Fall 2011. Bloggers in the front row: Bryan boy and Hanneli Mustaparta.Pamela Love Beauty Essentials! More here.Twenty-five-year old Michael Andrew Saiger is one hot accessories designer to watch out for in 2011! This is what he said about his collection named Miansi, “”Every piece has its own rich history,” says Michael. “All my designs, especially the more controversial ones, are meant to get people talking. It’s almost like the pieces themselves have a secret or a story to tell“. Not only is he talented, he’s quite an eye candy too, don’t you think?Cute male models from Perry Ellis Fall 2011 backstage.I can’t wait for this dress to be on topshop! Good style runs in the family! The Clarins Sisters. I love her little bag, so cute!
Hope you’re enjoying fashion week! xxoxoxoxoo

Inspirations Plus Plans

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

I’ve worked pretty late yesterday so I’m going to spend my day trying to recharge my body and relax with a couple of my favorite books and movies. Plus a little shopping wouldn’t hurt :-).

My two favorite looks from Colcci Autumn/Winter 2011.

This girl looks like all the Disney Princesses rolled into one person! So pretty!I will be taking my driving lessons soon and I’m excited but a little nervous. Do you guys have a great experience learning how to drive? Do you like driving?Such a beautiful shade of blue! Lighten Your Load Pale Blue Maxi Dress $65.00 (Lulus)Just bought this BB Dakota skirt that reminds me of the white skirt I wanted from the post below :-). BB Dakota Charles Skirt $58.00 (Need Supply)
One of my favorite musicians Mika said this : Resolution Number FIVE; Work All The Time. You know those self help guides that tell you to take lots of holiday and spend time away from work? Well, they’re bullshit. Those guides are written by self promoting workaholics who want you to buy their books, feel crap again and then buy another one.  When you don’t work enough you fell terrible. The things that you used to look forward to, like a drink after work or a favourite TV show, no longer have the same appeal. The more you work the more you value everything and everyone around you. At my age how could this be a bad thing?Roald Dahl is one of my all time favorite authors. I can read his books over and over again! Who is your favorite children’s books author?I love Hayao Miyazaki’s movies..all of them. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched them over the years. His female characters are strong, smart girls who get rewarded in the end because of their hard work. Do you have any favorites?

Hope you had the coolest weekend! xoxoxoxoxoo

Killer Jewels

Friday, February 11th, 2011

Do you like to wear all kinds of jewelry? Ring, bracelets, necklaces, earrings? Before, I used to only wear some bracelets but now I’m embracing rings, bracelets and necklaces. I don’t have my ears pierced so I don’t wear earrings. What about you? Do you wear one type of jewelry or all kinds? Which jewelry do you wear the most? For me, that would be my bracelets! Here are some of my favorite jewelry finds…

1. Topshop QUAD LAYERED STONE STACK $30.00
2. Topshop OPEN WINGS RING $25.00
3. Topshop AGATE FAN SURROUND RING $20.00
4. Topshop CRACKLE WRAP RING $25.00
5. Hermes Leather Bracelet $420.00

I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They’ve experienced pain and bought jewelry.

Oh, it’s the most romantic time of the year!

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

I’m single on this year Valentine’s Day  and after two years of spending it with someone I loved, it feels a little bit different but I don’t mind at all. Although I would love to have a special someone to buy a card or go to a lovely dinner out, I can do the same thing for a friend or for myself. Whether you’re single or happily coupled up, I found some amazing gifts for this beautiful and romantic day!

What kind of roses do you like? Red, white, baby pink, yellow? I like all kinds of roses but red is my favorite because it says Passion! (Pink Rose Arrangement by Sebastian Li $170.00 )

Red Patent Leather Wallet by Miu Miu $430.00

Mimi Holiday by Damaris Piece de Resistance Lace Bodysuit $130.00 (Net a porter)This is the dress I would wear if I’m having a date during the day! Beyond Vintage 70’s Halter Dress $264.00 (Shopbop)

And a perfect dress for a date at night. Aren’t those sleeves darling? RED Valentino Flutter Sleeves Dress with lace detail $625.00 (Shopbop)
By the way, do you guys prefer to wear a long dress or a short dress on a date? For me, I like to wear a short dress but only if it’s comfortable for me to move around and not having to constantly check if I’m exposing myself, haha

Gorgeous Arizona Muse! I love her makeup!  ( You can find out how you can achieve her look here).

Have a heavenly Thursday! xoxoxoxoxoo

Today, I’m loving…..

P.S. I just want to let everyone know that this is not written by me since there seems to be a bit of confusion in the comments. The girl in the picture above wrote it 🙂

This gorgeous girl’s name is Marie Mart and you can find more about her here.Editorial of the day: Saffron Days by Jean-Francois Campos (Pretty good exaggeration of the flare pants that are hip now, don’t you think?)Craving of the day: Heart-shaped cookies. I think foods that shaped like hearts tastes better and sweeter. And makes you feel happy too! Desire of the day 1: Alice by Temperley Fabienne Top $395.00

Desire of the day 2: DVF Rolanda Skirt $185.00

Love of the day: This beautiful sketch by Inslee.

Not Too High Not Too Low

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

When it comes to shoes, I’m quite picky and I need to be able to walk in them comfortably. As much as I love high heels and admire ladies who can stay in them all day, I want my shoes to have a certain height and that is not too high, not too low. Ideally, it would be about 4.5 inches for me. Here are some of the shoes I love from Spring 2011.

And shoes on my shopping list.

Guess GW Bravado Wedge Sandals $161.37Chie Mihara Shoes $355.00 (Shopbop)Sigerson Morrison Shoes $297.50 (Shopbop)

Loeffler Randall Mabel Strappy Platform $486.00 (Couturecandy.com)

Platform sandals $580.00 (Thecorner.com)“I definitely think it’s a beautiful gesture to dress up for something or someone; it is a gesture of love.” -Jan Taminiau

What about you? Do you have a limit when it comes to shoes height?

Have a bright Tuesday! xoxoxoxxooxo
