Grin And Alber

"A woman told me that every time she wears Lanvin, men fall in love with her.

I just had to make a post about this delightful quote that could only come from an Alber Elbaz interview. Is it not true? When I look at a woman and spot some Lanvin on her, I too fall in love with her! And as for that woman to have said that to him, what a blessed woman she is. I can't wait for the day where I can claim to have experienced this quote as well. (Even though I already have someone very much in love with me already. :p Hello love!)

And what is a Lanvin post, without a Lanvin dress?

Spring 2006 RTW, one of my favourite Lanvin shows because there were acrylic flowers in their hair! :)♥

So Sue Me

Here's a beautiful picture of Mollie Sue from ANTM Cycle i-don't-know who was at some ANTM event. She is one of the rare few ANTM models who is savouring some REAL success but very quietly. I heard she scored Vogue somewhere or something. In any case, I am loving her sharp look. Such a quiet anger radiates from that severely cut fringe, the stony eyes and the architectural lipstick. A stunning face, to say the least.

Well we've gotten a few really well-thought out responses to our first HWYWI? post and in our response post which I hope to do up soon, I will try my best to incorporate some of the looks and ideas from all your suggestions. :)

Rachel has been busy with school and I've been busy trying to skive from work. Not a trait I'm proud of but not skiving would mean losing my sanity and since I'm already insane I don't have much to lose actually but well, no one's taking anything from me without asking.

I can't wait to show you my two new purchases. I've not gotten round to figuring out what to do with them yet or how to showcase them yet but it'll happen. Sorry for the lack of posts and for not visiting a lot of your blogs. I will catch up soon!

Love, love, love all around. ♥

HWYWI? #1

Not to worry, our lovely lovelies! Our title is not some kind of html error with strange alphabets and symbols. What it is, is in fact, the start of our How Would You Wear It? series! We don't profess to be the best dressed people in the world, and we can only dream of being half as unique as some of the greatest fashion icons in the world. This means we are fashion mortals - With certain ensembles, we win some, we lose some. When presented with certain items of clothing or an accessory, we know some and we don't know some. This is where you, our wonderful friends and readers come in. We know you have scoured the blogverse and have seen some of the amazing things people have pulled out of their closets and put on themselves. We know some of you have some awesome ways of dressing up and some real kooky concepts that we absolutely adore. Hence, my loves, let us begin! With the very first post in our HWYWI? series. On to #1!

What:Almost-knee-high black suede boots with a slight heel
From?:A hand-me-down from my aunt but comes from a brand called Stephane Kélian, Paris. She got it from Barneys about 10 years ago.


What are the issues?:
1) They aren't zip up boots, which makes wearing them over even my tightest, skinniest jeans kind of a problem.
2) Without jeans/pants, the only options I have left are wearing them with tights or just bare-legged, of which the latter makes me feel a little bit on the skanky side. That is certainly a look I hope I never have.
3) The suede also tends to make any outfit just look a little too formal. So it seems casual wear is out of the picture.

Here is a picture of me showcasing the full height of the boots and the potential skanky effect it might have. Although I should add that I am sans pants in this picture.


So dear readers, the question I present to you is, how would you wear it? How would you make it such that pants could be an option? Any alternative pants types/materials you would suggest? How also can I go bare-legged with these boots without looking like a pre-Richard Gere Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman? How would lighten the look of these boots? And wear it in a fun, casual wear? How would you make an essentially 'wintry' type boot, suitable for a casual spring or summer look?

Here is what it looks like with pants. Ignore the kooky face which I hid unsuccessfully behind my shades.

Do feel free to make collages, write descriptions and make any kind of suggestions on your own blog if it's too troublesome to answer it all here. Be sure to leave a link and I will link back to your blog in our response post!

We hope you guys will have fun responding to this post♥ We are very nervous about it. Haha. :p

Still Hooked On Cellophane

We are sorry for the lack of posts dearies! Rachel and I are on an accidental mental hiatus for various reasons such as school and work but for me, it's mainly because I am still hungover from what was possibly the best gig of my life. Yes, Rachel and I (and some of our dearest friends as well) went to see the more-than-delightful, perceptively poetic, vocally flawless and impeccably charming Canadian band, Stars perform at the Esplanade. It was quite possibly the best musical experience I have ever had.

In any case, we have many new topics and things that we will be blogging about soon. For starters, I will be making a new little segment in this blog called How Would You Wear It? or HWYWI? for short. The first feature will involve some suede, some leg, and a whole lot to boot. :p Also, I will be showcasing some latest purchases of which I am very excited about. And I mean, very excited. *does a little jump*. We will also be answering some of the questions we've gotten such as when Chinese New Year is and also maybe a little bit about my dance background! ♥ *waves at La C*

Not forgetting, also, the continual abuse I will give to Rachel in forcing her to buy me more things. In fact, I had to use her credit card just last night for one of those personally very exciting purchases I was talking about. She is a very sweet girl. And I thank her for always showering me with gifts, money and just overall liberty in terms of using her credit card. I love you Rachel. ♥♥♥

And all my love to everyone as well! :)

Making Headway

I am having a terrible migraine at work. I have also recently been itching to try new ways to create/wear hair or head pieces. So, chancing upon this beautiful piece by Hussein Chalayan SS 09, brought great relief to my tired, strained mind as well as some amazing ideas. I wish to heavens I was bold enough to play around with headpieces a little more.

What have you worn in your hair today?
