The Attack of the Studs

I'm usually blinded by studs, having the perception that everything studded are awesome AND beautiful in my eyes no matter what....but seeing MK Olsen rocking this black leather Givenchy jacket with such MASSIVE studs on the sleeves made me wonder why they didn't appeal to me this time...too much, maybe?? Hhmm.....


Anyways, have a HAPPY WEEKEND everyone....don't forget to smile (and shop ;p)!!!

It All Ended in the 28th Dress

I watched 27 Dresses last night!! Yaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!! The movie was fresh, witty and pretty much entertaining even though the dresses were totally out of my expectations hehhehe…

Borrow This Bag!

I recently posted about the fabulous website Bag Borrow or Steal which allows customers to rent handbags. The Gucci 'Queen' Medium Hobo is sure to impress, with metallic platinum leather trim and goldtone hardware. And although the retail price is $1650 you can rent this bag for only $73 a week or $215 a month.

Oscar Fashion Favorites 2008

I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday but I wanted to find out what you guys thought of the red carpet fashion at the 2008 Oscars. The red carpet in general was a little disappointing...where was everybody? Here are my top four picks. I think Jenifer Garner has the overall best look. Jennifer Garner. Shown: Jennifer Garner, in Oscar de la Renta, Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry, and a Roger Vivier clutch. Cameron Diaz, in Christian Dior, Bulgari jewelry, and a Roger Vivier clutch. Cate Blanchett, in Dries Van Noten with a Roger Vivier clutch. Amy Ryan, in Calvin Klein Collection and H. Stern jewelry.

H&M and Marimekko Summer 2008

Findland's famous textile design company Marimekko, known for its brightly colored, pop art prints from the 60's and 70's is partnering with H&M for a Summer Collection. Long print dresses, full skirts, tunics and swimwear will be a few of the bold and brightly colored offerings.

Golden Girl

Just thinking of what I should I wear to the upcoming dinner party and my plan of wearing the Mischa Barton outfit style should be canceled as I have no time to find such a gorgeous top like that...I would probably wear something like the image below, without the hat and jacket but with a black tuxedo jacket instead.. any thoughts?? :)

Brother, would YOU buy me some killer heels???

I went treasure hunting in my brother's closet again and found this grey sweater that would be perfect to wear with my black lame legging...I can actually just go out in this very much comfortable outfit, but I would need some killer heels that would finish off the whole 'cool' look, which, sadly I don't have....

I shall then play with some layerings that would make the outfit a bit more interesting, but layers that would not result in me sweating like hell in this all-time-summer country...

After experimenting all the looks...I still want to wear it plain and simple; oversized sweater with leggings only. I then would need to get a pair of new killer heels, which would be a reason for me to go shopping again hehehe....neah, i'm just kidding... my boyfriend (which is currently my shopping-addiction therapist) would send me a bomb if I go shopping again, and I refuse to die before I get married hehehe...so I'll just wait until my boyfriend gives me the green light and say, "Ok...you may proceed, my dear", which I know will never happen.

Becky Kelso Jewelry

I came across this jewelry link by Becky Kelso on Shoptwigs. The rich and intricate gold detailing combined with the blue and purple semi-precious stones works together wonderfully. Each piece feels like a little treasure. 18k.

Such a Clown Me

I went shopping with my mom and literally begged her to buy this clown mask for me....I guess I'll just never grow up...(isn't that great??) hehhe...;p

At Last!!

BCBG Thong Sandals

I love these gold metallic thong sandals by BGBG. The extra heel coverage is great for walking around places like New York City. Available for $195 at Saks.

Dinner Party

There'll be a dinner party next month and Mischa Barton's outfit here pretty much inspires me on what I shall be wearing....

Did I Just Hear THREE Thousand???

Working felt much better today, as my boss finally gave me a real task, something that can at least re-function my brain and not just let me doodle all day hehehe...

As said, I was happy to be given a job, but translating 3540 questions (English to Indonesian) made me really wanna puke... yuck!! Trust me I swore a lot (well, not out loud) during the work hehehe...I only managed to finish about 600 questions and will (or shall I say, must?) continue tomorrow hohohoh...

What to wear for tomorrow...what to wear?? heheh...btw it was so true about what some of you commented on my previous blog post...the office fashionistas are (slowly) emerging that I actually got an email from a girl asking where I usually buy my smart clothes hihihihi...and so the conversation went on, with us sharing places to shop then reached an agreement to go shopping together (tomorrow during lunch time)... yayyyyyy!!! Now that's the spirit!! :D

Btw I couldn't find the picture on their website, but I am totally falling in love with Zara's maxi floral boho dress....it's already planned on my head, that THE dress must be purchased soon after I receive my first salary hihihih....

Gotta sleep now....adios people...and Sharjeel, I MISS YA so much...take care my love!! :)

Twenty8Twelve by Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller and her sister Savannah have launched their own fashion line Twenty8Twelve. Sienna has long been a style icon and her sister Savannah has worked as a fashion designer for Alexander McQueen and Mathew Williamson. The name of the new line actually comes from Sienna's birthday - December 28th. Here is a sneak peak at some of the pieces. Most of the collection at this point is black or white and definitely has a british styling to it. Available at Shopbop.

Collar & Cuff Sets

What I Wore to Work Today & Yesterday

Greetings From the Office!! :)

Hi, everyone...I'm in the office right now, waiting for everybody else to come hehhe...the official working hour starts at 8a.m., but basically everybody comes at 9 while I always arrive at 7 heheh...but that's good actually, meaning that I have about 2 hours of browsing and blogging without any interruptions hihihihi....

Btw I'm not trying to limit nor stereotype the range of friends I have, but I do find it difficult to find someone who is interested in fashion even in the least manner (e.g., appreciate fashion even when the person does not apply any 'fashion'-related stuffs onto her/himself). It feels odd to be so excited dressing up in the morning but receive no comment or response at all like "I love your shoes" or "Where did you get that shirt from??" heheheh...i know, i know, not everybody's into these stuffs, but wouldn't it be nice to just have at least 1 person in the office whom I can share my passion for fashion with?? Please???? Hehehhe....

Hhmmm....well have a nice day, everyone...hope you enjoy your MONDAY...:)

Three Ways to Wear a Vest

So I recently bought this new pinstripe vest and I did some research on different ways to wear it. Here are some ideas 1. Pair with a short sleeve blouse 2. Pair with a screen printed rocker tee (like the ones Kate Moss did for Topshop) 3. Pair with a tank top or camisole.

Intervene Foundation by Elizabeth Arden

Intervene foundations is a liquid makeup product by Elizabeth Arden. It contains Biodormin™ which helps fight signs of aging. The mineral pigment helps create a smooth and even surface and hide imperfections. And Intervene contains SPF 15 so it is perfect for the upcoming spring and summer months. I was asked to try Invervene and I was really happy with the product. It left a nice glowing finish to my skin and it blended in perfectly to create a natural look. Here is a picture of me wearing Intervene.

A Quiet Saturday Night

It's such a tragedy to face the fact that most of my friends now spend their weekends with their loved ones, leaving me lonely with nobody to go out with...

Well now that I'm working already, Saturday and Sunday seems so precious that it feels utterly unfair to just stay in the house and not have some fun...I decided to go out alone today and had a nice chicken steak for dinner at Tomodachi....this one's for you, boyfriend!!! :)

Halston - Then and Now

Luxury 70's brand Halston has recently been relaunched with Harvey Weinstein leading the charge. The newly appointed creative director for Halston is Marco Zanini, whom previously worked for Donatella Versace. Halston made a big splash at it's runway debut last week with Liza Minnelli arriving on the arm of Harvey Weinstein in a vintage Halston pantsuit. Halston's Fall collection definitely has a 70's re-make feel. It will be interesting to see if the line maintains it's retro inspiration moving forward.
