Purr-fectly tacky!

Ohh lord... I absoloutely hate this new fashion trend of animal prints, usually cat prints, like leopards... Ahh I loathe it! I think it's so tacky! Why are so many celebrities wearing them! Aah... Here are some pics of truly gross ones...

Eeyuck. Hope this trend stops. Soon. Rawr.

Open Water

So today, I didn't go to school, and I don't feel that much better, but I was really bored just lying around in bed so I decided to go downstairs and switch on the TV. I flicked through the movie channels and saw Open Water was on. I've always wanted to watch it since at the cinema last year we changed our movie to AVP instead (god that movie was terrible). So finally I watched Open Water, it lasted for liek 80 minutes and well... I don't understand the ending!

"Proving that the power of imagination is much more terrifying than what meets the eye"

That was what Rotten Tomatoes AND Astro said, so what does it mean then? Like were there really no sharks at all? But in the end some fisherman cut up a shark and found a camera so it WAS real. Anyway I'm so so confused, because someone once told me the ending was like Blair Witch Project, so I was assuming there was some kind of twist. Which there wasn't. Well if there wasn't supposed to be some kind of twist I thought the movie was good, it was really sad, and so scary. Gosh I fear for sharks now! Well I always have anyway... And the ending was unpredictable, and I liked how it wasn't such a Hollywood film, you know like in your face scariness but it was still good. I do recommend this film but I think it's very different from Jaws.

Alright well that's enough movie talk for me. Ciao bellas!

Heaven on Mars!

Yay! So I've finally watched Veronica Mars episodes 3x01 "Welcome Wagon" and 3x02 "My Big Fat Greek Rush Week" and it' s great! Still full of attitude and wit, Veronica takes on Hearst College in the 3rd Season. And even though the new guy Piz is cute I so don't want to see Logan and Veronica (LoVe - cute eh?) break up! Logan is sooo hot in that tortured and sarcastic way of his, I mean his mom committed suicide, his dad murdered his girlfriend and his dad ended up getting murdered. Tortured enough?

(Left to right): Eli "Weevil" Navarro, Parker Lee, Wallace Fennel, Stosh "Piz" Piznarski, Veronica Mars, Keith Mars, Logan Echolls, Dick Casablancas, Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie, Sheriff Don Lamb

So if anyone wants to watch Veronica Mars, just go on to youtube and find this user JoBeth1011. There have only been two episodes, so the episodes have been broken down into five parts.

OK So I should really catch up on some resting since I am sick. But VM does make it all better, it doesn't hurt to just sit here not moving, cause if I do move my headache gets worse... Ciao!

"Break-fast" at Charcoal.

So Nisa, you can blog about it too now! Hahah... well yesterday Nisa & I went out with a few friends to Charcoal because Azim's mom was belanjaing and it was quite fun. Just that they picked us up half an hour late. Hahah... and Greg and Hazim ate so much, we were scared they were about to throw up on us. And Nisa, it was fun when we hung out for a while and played with the webcam.. Hahaha.. too bad you couldn't stay longer... well anyway... here are a few pics from last night... Heehee

Ahh... that was one hell of a meal.

Lovely flats!

So I've just realised that I've got so many heels and not a lot of fancy flats... Most of my flats are boring flip flops and sandals and right now I'm really into the flat SHOE look.. I was browsing through Urban Outfitters and saw some really cute pairs... Here are some of my favorites:

Ivory Mary-Jane Ballets

Quilted Ballet Flats

Dolce Vita Twist Toe Ballets

There are a few more, like I really love this pair of wine-coloured Mod Mary Janes... but it won't upload! Darn...

LiLo Best Dressed...

Here goes... Lindsay Lohan is the best dressed! Whew... okay well as much as it hurt to say that... because frankly I do not like the girl... I mean she is so so so so talented and pretty but WHY waste it by acting so trashy and partying all night long until your well-respected co-stars (Jane Fonda, William H. Macy) have to publicly scold you... sheesh... well anyway, adding to looks and talent is her style.... for her age it's definitely appropriate and she really has some range, she can go from looking classy and feminine to cool and edgy.... Anyway, I saw one of her outfits and I really liked it... she was wearing a short grey raincoat dress with dark grey tights and black suede ankle boots... here are some pictures...

Well OK that's enough out of me... ciao!

La belle vie - Paris Fashion Week!

I love Paris in the springtime, I love Paris in the fall, I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles, I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles... well you know how it goes.

Yay Paris Fashion Week! Some more Spring Pret-a-porter collections to drool over! So far I've seen Rick Owens, and frankly I'm not very impressed. I didn't love it, the pure-white organdy asymmetric jackets, crunched up around the neck and gathered into a peplum in back, were paired with complex handkerchief-point or draped skirts, striding leggily out on shaggy-chiffon were sorta cute. But some of his looks for the collection had this funnel hood that was veiled over the models faces, I did not like that... Here's a picture...

I liked Balmain's collection though, they made their mark when Audrey Tatou wore a cropped white dress to the Cannes Film Festival. Their Spring '07 collection is filled with those types of dresses, aimed at young people; strapless dresses, short, one shouldered... etc. He also did not skimp out on the hardware; gold chains, silver sequins, brass studs were plenty. Here are some of my favorite looks...

So it's only been two days, Paris Fashion Week I mean and I will update again on my favorite designers and collections.... (Chloe!)

Milan Fashion Week (Part II)

So I have to do Milan Fashion Week in a few parts because its too much to do under one post. Part II i'm gonna talk about Bottega Veneta. So far this is my favorite collection I've seen!

I love love love it, understated and luxurious, Tomas Maier has done a beautiful job on the collecetion with a subtle beige-through-rose palette. I wish I could put in all the looks at Bottega Veneta but if I put on too many pictures something goes wrong... sighh... well here are some of my favorites.... (oh and I also love the runway!)

Isn't it ultra-chic? Ciao bellas.

Milan Fashion Week (Part I)

As Milan Fashion Week 2007 is wrapping up, here are some of my favorite looks from the pret-a-porter (ready-to-wear) Spring 2007 collections.

Burberry Prorsum (weird, I thought they were showing in Paris Fashion Week)

I really liked Burberry's collection; the clothes changed from the start to the end. It began with some neutral shades and then later throughout the collection there was more color, but it was always soft and never too bright but with some metallics and shine here and there. I loved some of the male looks as well.

And then some pastelic colours are introduced...




Men's collection...

Sighh... wonder if the guys here would ever wear those two outfits! I love them! So preppy and chic but for the 2nd look I would swap the trendy silver shirt for a classic white one.

New York, New York!

I heart NY! Yes I do, love love love this city and as a way to salute New York (Thank you for Fashion Week 2007 New York!) here's one of my favorite blooming New York based designers and my favorite pieces from his recent collections.

1. 3.1 Phillip Lim

(i) Cropped Trench Style Jacket





Cute lilac cropped cotton trench style jacket with three quarter length sleeves and dark double-breasted buttons on front.



(ii) Cowl Neck Sweater Dress



Mostly you see sweater dresses being paired with tights and leggings, not that I mind that, but i love this look with loose pants. This looks very sophisticated and I've always loved sweaters.... and oh yay that's the Chloe Paddington Shopper! (see the post before this)

I'm in LOVE...

...with fall's hottest bags! They're super gorgeous and so chic... here are three of my favorite bags of fall... (Love love love the Marc Jacobs one... my favourite)

1. The Paddington Shopper by ChloeSuper sized padlock, distressed scrunchy leather, gold and silver hardware. Need I say more?

2. The Intrecciato Shopper by Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta actually do not name their bags; Intrecciato is the name given to the intricately hand woven leather.

3. The Stam by Marc Jacobs

Ahh last but not least, the Stam bag. I love this, named after Canadian model Jessica Stam and inspired by vintage handbags. Looks great with a knit polo or bubble skirt... wish I had one..

I probably could never afford them (they range from $1000 - $3000!), but oh isn't it nice to dream?

Welcome....

...to my (2nd attempt of a) blog! I didn't like the other one so you know, obviously I deleted it. Anyway, this time round I'm going to try to keep this blog in tip top shape and keep updating... I left that one to collect dust in the attic.... Okay well I will keep posting soon enough...

Ciao!
