Dah overdue dah entry ni.
Fashion favourites of the night:
Penélope Cruz in vintage Balmain. Pretty and graceful, like a swan.
Natalie Portman wearing Grecian inspired Rodarte gown.
The hair is ferosh.
Freida Pinto was extraordinary in a sapphire John Galliano. Love it.
Favourite pictures from the Oscars:
The real supermodels reunited. Hot.
RDJ all neat and tidy and sexy.
A movie with SBC an Seth Rogen? Yes please!
Gabriel Aubry. Period.

This is kind of fun, trying to figure out what the first lady is going to wear to the ball. We have a couple of hours to kill before the dress reveals itself.
Of course I’m excited. I couldn’t care less about the previous first ladies because, let’s face it they weren’t as fab. And this reminds me of the time when I was a kid and helplessly wanting to look like a princess. I would sketch, and colour, and smile at the drawings of glamorous gowns I made. Ah, good times.
Michelle is like a Barbie doll. Everyone wants to dress her. Don’t think she’ll be wearing any of these, but let’s see.
Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel
Not a fan of some of the above designers, and a few may have missed the mark. I definitely love Betsey’s sketch because it is so classic Betsey. And MJ, girl you got it going on, love the colour on Michelle! Oh and, and, all the glitter on Kors’s sketch, fabulousity!
My verdict,
Best sketch(es) : Lacroix, de la Renta, Kors
Best design(s) : DVF, Tahari, Mizrahi
What I want Michelle to wear : Mizrahi, Som, MJ

Camila Alves is a Brazilian model and entrepreneur better known in Hollywood as Matthew McCognaughey‘s baby mama. Last year, Camila and her mother Multo Abrigado finally launched MUXO, a line of strong sexy handmade leather handbags inspired by two cities; New York and Bahia.
[Note : MUXO = goddess of the water (African)]
Clockwise from top left : Juliana, $1350 ; Lax, $1395 ; Little West 12th, $700 ; Oxum, $1350
The keyword is ‘rich’ you guys. I am a big fan of leather and details (and MUXO is all about the fringe, love it). I dig all things unique. It has to be individual and as a bonus, practical as well. Also, the fact that the bags are handmade screams total luxury and originality to me.
“Each one of a kind MUXO handbag is handmade and crafted by me and my mother, everytime. The quality of the leather from thickness to touch, the process of distressing and finishing the leather, every stitch sewn, every piece of iron detail, every tassle of fringe, custom made, designed, and crafted by me and my mother’s two hands. It takes us 5 to 8 hours to make each handbag. No machines, no assembly line, so every one is not only original, there’s really no two alike.”
Camila Alves
Alas, just like Comme des Garçons, MUXO is not for everyone. But you know, to each his/her own lah kan.

Sejuk lah. Macam hari ni, poyo je forecast kata 9°C, tengok-tengok hujan lah pulak. Lagi sangkak dengan angin bayu yang bertiup kencang tak hengat. Nak keluar pun malas uols. Basah boot karang.
Jika anda menetap di kawasan empat musim, berapa banyak kot kah yang patut dibeli? Sedih la kan kalau balik-balik pakai yang sama. Tapi kalau anda miskin seperti saya, jangan harap lah nak punyai banyak kot kan, gaya nak mahal je masing-masing.
Hmm mungkin kah satu kot pea, satu mac (kot ala baju hujan), satu kot trench dan satu parka sudah memadai? Walau pun di dalam hati nak lah kot kulit, kot bulu-bulu bagai. Non mampu lah. Verangan je boleh.
Mahu semua yang dibawah. Tolong belikan. Swipe aje.
1. 3.1 Phillip Lim Belted Twill Coat £349.40
2. Chloé Double-breasted Coat £1302
3. Stella McCartney Wool Tulip Coat £1170
4. Burberry Deanham Nylon Trench £328
5. Narciso Rodriguez Wool Bustle Coat £1030.11
6. Paul & Joe Beauboir Wool Coat £509
I sker!
Motif letak harga sekali? Adakah untuk menunjuk lagak suka nak beli yang mahal aje? Takdemaknanya uols. I sengkek. Saya cuma berkongsi perkara-perkara yang indah sahaja. Tidak lah untuk meng-brag tak pasal-pasal. Saya rasa barang-barang ini sangat cantik, jadi dikongsi supaya anda dapat membeli jikalau anda juga suka dan anda kaya. Bukan untuk saya, tetapi kepada yang berminat. Kalau saya beli pun, non ado faedah nya nak diwar-war kan di sini. Tambahan pula banyak yang singgah ke blog saya kerana mencari harga Confetti Dress oleh 3.1 Phillip Lim di entry saya yang lepas (mengikut kata blog stats saya lah). Kesian lah hai bersusah payah google bagai nak cari harga ye. Maka, saya serta kan lah harga untuk kemudahan ramai. Wah gitu.
(Btw, harga nya £778.08. Aiyo boleh bayar mortgage sebulan kot.)
Penat ye jika kena explain motif kehidupan setiap kali ada entry baru. Maklum lah, kang tak pasal-pasal ada yang meng-attack. Koser lah.
This is boring. I’ve never been a fan and I hate to say this but Anne Hathaway really knows how to work the red carpet. Perfection in Armani Prive.
Also breathtaking, Eva Longoria in red hot Reem Acra.
Whatever happened to Renee Zellweger and Cameron Diaz? They used to be quite the looker if I remember correctly.
What’s going on with Renee’s hair? And the gown. I’m just. Speechless.
Cameron. The body. The hair. The make-up. The pink Chanel frock. And gunmetal sandal. Seriously?
And of course, heartiest congratulations to Kate Winslet for winning TWO freakin awards! Yay! Although I was rooting for Penélope Cruz for Best Supporting Actress, we all know that Kate totally deserved it. My God, two awards, could we be any happier for her?
Love love love the hair and make-up. Wish she could have picked a less boring dress. Like the super sexy Balmain dress she wore at Revolutionary Road premiere. Flawless.

I love dresses. I could wear them all day all night. And this time of the year provides the greatest excuse to do so.
For work, then coffee, and dinner, let’s party. Here are my picks for the holidays.
1. 3.1 Phillip Lim Embellished Mini Dress 2. Acne Baroque Bustier Dress 3. Alexander McQueen Queen Print Bustier Dress 4. Antik Batik Dinah Sequin Dress 5. Bottega Veneta Wrap-front Dress 6. Day Birger et Mikkelsen Poiret Tunic Dress 7. Hanii Y Sequin Belt Dress 8. Hervé Léger Sequin Bandage Dress 9. Matthew Williamson Paisley Print Dress 10. Milly Patterned Shift Dress 11. Oscar de la Renta Guipure Lace Strapless Dress 12. Roberto Cavalli Cady Chinoise Dress 13. Stella McCartney Ruffle Trim Dress 14. Temperley London Mini Ermine Dress 15. Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Monroe Lamé Dress
Initially, I had another Phillip Lim dress on the list. Somehow, a ‘celebrity’ was seen wearing it recently at some party. Who is she anyway? She’s all over the fashion world yet I have no idea who she is nor that I’ve seen any of her work(s) if there is any. Yes, I am that lame.
The very pretty 3.1 Philip Lim Confetti Dress.
Lauren Conrad at some event, in the dress.
Speaking of fab dresses, do you love Rami Kashou as much as I do? Damn the man can sew. How much do you love the little dresses he made and I believe is still making for Heidi, like this one.
Not a very good picture of her but this isn’t about her. Sorry Heidi.
And this purple number people, is called the Heidi Dress. Cuteness.
And good news, you don’t have to travel all the way to LA to own one, you can buy it here for USD496.
Merry Christmas everyone, and drink responsibly if you can!
Pernah tak dengar ungkapan yang lebih kurang cenggini – Kecantikan itew datang dari dalam.
Dari dalam ye kena cantik. Kau ada?
Entah. Kalau dalam cantik, tapi luar nya Simpang Renggam macam mana pulak kan?
Saya suka orang yang cantik. Tak kira lah cantik luar ke dalam ke, lelaki ke perempuan ke, adik-adik ke akak-akak ke. Kekadang kan kita tengok orang itew sekali, rasa macam ish – motifan aku tengok kau? – baik aku tengok macha waiter kat Original Kayu (yum, damn teringin garlic butter naan dengan tandoori) yang bermisai lebat itew! Jangan macam itew, ada sesetengah orang, kalau kita perhati betul-betul muka mereka, maka kita mungkin akan ketemu yang cantik, yang manis, yang lemak. Contoh? Ha. Jeng jeng. Ruminah Sidek. Kau jangan. Mata dia kecik comel je. Eksotik taw bila menjeling.
Walau bagaimanapun, letih la nak mencari-cari ni. Alangkah mudahnya kalau kecantikan seseorang itew memang dah terpampang di luaran. Tak perlu nak analisa dah mana lebih mana kurang.
Tapi susah pulak nak cari yang cenggitu. Selebriti dan model-model pun kekadang ala-ala sedih je. Harap kan skandalisma je. Di Hollywied, kecantikan luaran ni tak berapa nak penting sangat, bagaimanapun harus ada faktor X untuk maju. Janji berbakat lah konon nya. Tak pun pakai lah yang seksi meksi treshi, boleh la nak laku lite-lite. Contoh tersenang ialah si Fergilicious itew. Eeee tak cun ya amat. Azab uols. Takpe lah. At least dia dapat Josh Duhamel yang panas gasmark 7 itew.
Apa itu gasmark 7? Aiyo. Simpan duit dan pergi beli oven okay.
Yang cantik ialah Doutzen Kroes. Memang tak boleh nak cakap apa lah. Meletupan.
Siapa itu Doutzen Kroes? Ha. Belek-belek la Vogue isu-isu lepas. Cari iklan Valentino, CK Eternity, Loreal dan sebagainya lah. Model kelahiran Belanda ini juga adalah salah seorang daripada Victoria’s Secret Angel. Cun seh.
Toksah la susah-susah nak tengok gambar-gambar editorial. Tu semua dah Photoshop bagai. Apa barang.
Speaking of Victoria’s Secret (i) :
The 2008 show in Miami was just blurgh. I miss Gisele.
Speaking of Victoria’s Secret (ii) :
Tengok si Doutzen ni lama-lama, terasa nak ajak dia balik rumah pulak. Eh? Tetiba lessribena pulak. Tapi betul, perempuan juga boleh ada perasaan begitu taw. Saya dulu pernah jatuh cinta dan berfantasia bulan madu tentang seorang lagi bekas Victoria’s Secret Angel yang dah senja sikit, Rebecca Romijn. Perghh. Panas tak hengat. Pendek kata, sumpah tak cari lain lah.
Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, X-Men
Alamak salah gambar. Walaupun orang yang sama. Ni baru betul.
L’eau de one, Becky
Hehe. Suka lah macam ni. Hiks.
Speaking of Victoria’s Secret (iii) :
Guess who modeled for tranny hot mess? Another Angel, Selita Ebanks. Gotta tell ya, Selita I’ve always thought is the cheekiest of the bunch. Except, well. Pftt. Silap besar uols. Look at that. Fierce. Ferosh.
Christian Siriano Spring 09, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, NY
Selita pun cantik juga. Tahun hadapan saya mesti cuba dapat potongan badan rambut seperti beliau.
Selang satu rumah, belah kanan ni ada kedai gunting rambut. Yang tukang gunting ialah abang-abang kulit hitam yang sangat gagah perkasa. Takut I.
Yang penting, kalau dah cantik tu, cantik juga.
The much anticipated Comme des Garçons for H&M collection hits UK stores today. While the pieces may be too much for some, I totally dig Rei Kawakubo’s avant garde style.
Note to self : Must own the last wool jacket.
The collection first arrived in Tokyo last Saturday. People just went crazy and stood in line for days to get a piece of HM-CDG collaboration. From what I heard, even a gadget launch from Apple can’t top the madness.
Saya suka warna kuning kerana ia sangat ceria dan mengbangkitkan semangat. Konon nya. Bagaimana dengan anda? Suka atau tidak?
Jika diimbas kembali koleksi-koleksi pakaian di Minggu Fesyen global yang lepas (musim bunga 2009), pereka-pereka fesyen kegemaran saya sudah mula mesra dengan warna kuning. Ini telah membuat saya sangat gembira.
1. Lanvin. Milan, 5 Oktober 2008.
2. Vera Wang. New York, 11 September 2008.
3. Bottega Veneta. Milan, 23 September 2008.
Ada beberapa barangan yang berwarna kuning di dalam senarai kemahuan (wishlist lah) saya. Mereka ialah :
1. Jocelyn Warner Leaf Wallpaper in Yellow/Gloss.
2. Ben Sherman Peter Pan Double Breasted Coat
3. Eames Plastic Chair DSX in Lime Yellow.
Lain barang-barang warna kuning yang agak murah dan sesangat lah delightful, jika anda juga mula berminat dengan warna ini :
1. Ikea Lenda Fabric.
2.Twinings Lemon Ginger Tea
3. Beckerman Yellow Plaid Shorts
Dengan itu ye tuan puan, selamat mencuba dan cintailah warna kuning selalu. Alah, saya tahu anda suka. Otak kuning. Gigi kuning kerana merokok. Yang anda tak suka hanya garisan kuning dan lampu isyarat kuning. Tak reti nak berhenti. Useless.
