Herve Leger

Baby doll floaty dress be on the way out, because sexy is in again!

I do love the floaty smock dress, shirt dress look but I think a woman’s got to flaunt what she has!

And with Herve Leger (designed by Max Azria) making a come back, I am just so excited! Of course, I probably can’t afford the original. So I’m just looking out for high street alternatives. The colour palette for the F/W08 show. I can’t wait to see what Max Azria comes up with for S/S09. The colours will be incredible.

Not a fan of the F/W08 hair and make up though so I will pass on that.

Celebs love their Herve Leger -

Can you see the Spring Summer colours already? I can’t wait to see the collection for S/S 09.

Glad that someone like Max Azria whom, imo, we can count on for beautiful designs is the designer for this line. Love it that he kept the bandage look, and stayed true to Herve Leger’s aesthetics.

Anyway, I’m thinking this look might only hit high street mid – end of this year. So crossing my fingers. Looks tend to take a long time to trickle down from the shows to mainstream … and this is so vastly different from the shapeless smocks girls are wearing now, so might be even longer.

*************

On a separate note, hurrah for the end of an era! If you currently wear small black rimmed glasses, throw them away!

Throw these away.

What’s trickling in now (quite slowly actually… cause I first saw them in the S/S06 Givenchy show and in fact, talked about them here and here) are big glasses. And I’ve seen a couple of people (non models, cause models don’t count) wear it and they look surprisingly good.

I just wanted to find a way to put Lawrence Stiers’ picture in this post. Haha!

So big glasses, coming soon!

Happy(presents!)Xmas

All in all, it was a good Xmas and I’m glad I recovered in time for Xmas.

Spent the eve at CJ’s place where we exchange presents, then went to his Auntie’s place where we had Xmas dinner ‘in the forest’. I think it was better this year because L. was there too so it’s kinda like 2 newcomers so I kinda stuck to her.

The uncle asked me again ‘Are you from Thailand?’ WHHHHHaaatt?? I bet if I went next year he would ask me the same thing.

We then went back to my place to spend a very uneventful ‘countdown’ where we watched DVDs.

These are what he got for me

(1) Practical present – A new charger, so I can have one at office and 1 at home. I’ve found myself without a charger at home over the weekend several times, and un-contactable, so this is a great gift

(2) Fun present – Tee hee! Sam and I saw the Transformers one at Toys R’ Us a few months back and I’ve been hankering for a Mr. Potato Head.

(3)  An ‘I want’ present! – I didn’t think he heard me when I was telling him about this book at Borders but he heard! And he got it. Coffee table book la, but I like it very much.

Anyway, being the practical (haha!) person I am, I got him a practical present. It is supposed to save him money from buying everyday stuff. Ya la, not very exciting or anything, but if he likes it I’m happy

And a handpainted photo frame!

My present for myself.

Not the Ipod Touch, it’s from my dad A cover for my ipod touch! It’s very nice and made of real leather, I don’t really like the silicone type covers.  And it’s (kind of) Hermes orange, so all the better!

I also succumbed and bought a pair of Gisele Bundchen flipflops. I know people have been saying how it’s overpriced and not very nice and stuff, but I like it!

And these are the ‘envelope’ clutch / sling bags he got for me at the Mango sale. It’s very versatile! And only 20bucks each. Actually I’m not sure, he sneaked to the counter while I’m in the changing room. But if it were 20 bucks, it’ll be really cheap! Even my dad says it’s cheap and he is notoriously picky when it comes to stuff like these.

Footsteps

 

Because CJ said I looked pissed at him in the previous photo.

Quiet time at a party

My style

Being too busy lately, I don’t really have time to look at the Spring Summer shows this year. And I LOVE Spring Summer shows. The colours and makeup are nicer. And the clothes are more inspiring.

So anyway to save time, I was flipping through Natasha Poly’s page (she’s my favourite model, and she does almost all the big shows so I can kill two birds with one stone). And guess what! I’ve found the perfect description of my style (or what I’d like to think is my style) in this outfit!

Love the colours of the strappy sandals. Love the bag. LOVE the dress.

And this make up at Missoni I love. If only I can do it as well as this -

Sweets for the sweet

Another thing I love from Da Paolo Gastronomia are the Lemon Cupcakes.

It’s the kind of sweet that feels genuine, not artificial sweeteners. Kind of like the sweet that would make your teeth ache.

And the colour! It looks like a carnival. Don’t ask me why a lemon cupcake is blue. They have shades of blue, yellow and green, which are really really cute!

I saw that they have lemon cream cookies today (: Hm… breakfast treat for me tomorrow.

CJ and I also tried Cold Rock, this new ice cream bar at Holland Village.

Basically what happens is you choose 2 flavors of icecream, add a ’side’ and they’ll mix it up for you. Actually the concept sounds really Ben & Jerry-ish isn’t it – think Phish Food and Cherry Garcia. And the mix-ins are weird and wonderful… there are Jaffas, Snickers, Freddo Frogs, cookie dough, apple pie, Bounty, Violet Crumble – anything you can think to mix into ice cream, they have it!

Our ice cream mixture here is VERY WEIRD… I think we got carried away!  First, I got Mango and CJ had Tia Maria (alcoholic coffee). And then I wanted Nerds as my mix in.

WEIRD!

Haha. So I guess you really need to choose your combination properly.

It tastes quite mediocre actually, most probably because of my combination. And it is actually a bit of the steep side.

CJ and the entire range of mix-ins!

Portrait

I didn’t post photos from my Commencement cause I didn’t think I look very nice (no makeup, just rushed down from work, frizzy hair etc). Mum booked a date for all of us to go down for the family portrait last week and I had full makeup on so the pictures are nicer! I still have my wonky eye not unlike P.Hilton’s because my left eye was still recovering from the allergic reaction.

Together with my constipated brother.

I didn’t have a lot of photos with my family, because I spent half the time posing (as I’ve guessed, on a ‘library’ backdrop, with my hand on a globe, with my hands on some books).

We had dinner later at the Serangoon area.

To further demonstrate said wonky eye, which reminds me of how CJ said Shannen Doherty had Picasso eyes.

It feels weird walking about with a pound of eyeliner on my eyelids. Yup, I told the makeup artist to use my makeup cause I didn’t want to share makeup with other people. If I’d knew she would have mauled my Bobbi Brown eyeliner, dig too enthusiastically into my Chanel lip palette and use my Benefit concealer like face powder, I would have brought cheaper makeup. Heart pain, you know. I do not have a lot of money to spend on makeup.

We went to Jacq’s place to visit the cats.

Cyrus, which I have a soft spot for because CJ told me why he is always so frightened of strangers nowadays. I loved it that he was just lying there, then he saw me aiming my camera at him, and he just stared at the camera, like he knew I was taking the photo and he was posing.

Odin in a trance. CJ told me Odin used to be very sick when he was a kitten and he (CJ) would force feed Odin his medicine. Odin was also very weak and used to eat his dinner just to please CJ and Jacq and would fall asleep while eating. When I was there Odin would walk over and rub his head on my elbow and lick my elbow

Update: No picture of Midnight cause in my camera he is just a black fur ball.

Kukup

More photos later!

unpolished

and raw

Why you always never send me photos…

NAH

Hope you’re happy.
