It’s the Cannes Film Festival once again! The hottest film festival where some of the best artsy fartsy filmmakers rub shoulders with some of the greatest actors in the world. It may not be the most exciting red carpet event but we are all ecstatic to hear bout Angelina Jolie’s double bundle of joy (still in the oven!). So here are the best from the South of France:

 

Crazy girl, Juliette Lewis and hippie-lookin’ Mischa Barton. For once, they both look fab.

Mummy-to-be-again, Angelina Jolie is maternally flashy in err, lobster print dress?

Natalie Portman plays royalty at her first day of judging work. Hot!

Eva Longoria and Asian beauty, Aishwarya Rai both looked stunning.

I know I’m missing some awesome red carpet pictures. I’m struggling without my Photoshop here! Yours truly is still on holiday till Tuesday - bloggers get a break right? I’m still trying to blog besides my hectic schedule (I’m super tired now after a 10-hour ride long journey). Will blog properly soon. 652 visits yesterday - is Claudia Schiffer that popular?

The cover says it all. Claudia Schiffer in only knickers and a cat-mask posed for reowned photographer, Mario Testino. Even the titled screams, “SEX by Mario Testino” - don’t think that needs much explanation but it certainly builds everyone’s anticipation for this Vogue issue.

Yours truly will be taking a short holiday for the long weekend. Be back on Tuesday!

Hot off the press! There’s a hot new reality TV show in town by The CW that is fashionably called, Stylista. Incredibly exciting! As you know Nina Garcia has left Elle magazine for Marie Claire (*yikes*) - and now, look what she’s missing. Brought to you by Tyra Banks, Stylista brings to life the real ‘Devil Wears Prada’ in the Elle office in which eleven fashion enthusiasts battle each other out to win the prized position as assistant to Anne Slowey, Fashion News Editor of Elle.

So why go through the pain and drama? The winner gets a full-time editorial position at Elle, a paid lease on a fabulous apartment in Manhattan (gosh, I want that!) and clothing allowance from H&M - all for one year valued at $100,000. Can’t wait for this show - it sounds crazy already!

Here’s a first look at Stylista. Tell me what you think.

It’s about time. The ladies at Conversation Pieces made a comeback with these lovelies. This time, they’ve stocked up on more dresses, tops, accessories, and even home & living pieces direct to you from the States. Fash-E will give you a sneak peek at what’s in store for you to grab. Hurry, because these pieces are limited!

Stacey Dress

I love this dress. The colours are vibrant and really pops! It’s great to hide that tummy and perfect for our sunny Singapore weather. I love heart the square-neckline as well.

Milly Dress

Bring out the girl in you and twirl around in this beautiful ethereal ivory dress with unique cut-out flowers and ruffle sleeves. It also comes in gem blue colour.

Crimson Clutch

Wanna play old Hollywood glamour? This clutch is all you need. It’s perfect for a casual weekend, and also a classy night-out.

Lucy Blouse in Teal

This is a versatile piece which you can wear it as a long top, or a mini-dress. I love the teal colour and the bow detail on the puffy sleeve. Very romantic and flirty at the same time!

Bone China Teacup Set

Tea-time can be fancy as well when you have the right home accessories. This lovely teacup set will ring you back to the English old days as you sip your brew of Camomile tea.

Starry Necklace

We love statement accessories and this is definitely in our books. This gorgeous necklace will look lovely with a simple top that you can show off on a girl’s night out.

Mary-Kate & Ashley: Elizabeth + James Fall ‘08

There is something very ‘Gossip Girl’ about the Fall ‘08 collection of Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen’s line, Elizabeth+James. I could almost see Blair, Serena or Jenny walking in these. Nylon got the first look at the affordable, younger clothing line by the designer twins. So, does Fash-E loves this collection? We shall see.

Described as, “trust fund babe goes to a rock concert” - so true. The famous duo is trying to give Henry Holland a run for his money with this uber-cute tartan mini skirt. It is probably my favourite piece from the preview I’m seeing from Nylon. I can imagine this on lil’ J or one of her snooty entourage member.

Why do I get a Kate Moss vibe from these? I love the bleach blonde they used for the photoshoot. The slouchy boyfriend wardrobe and high-waisted pants are definitely “in” according to the twins for Fall ‘08. Everyone is playing with the androgynous look. We can expect to see more grey “lines” between the gender divide.

I like the peacock motif at the back of the green tartan jacket. Skirts are definitely short this Fall ‘08. We see a mixture of girly and tomboyish-chic from the girls. Are they great designers? I guess they’re alright but we haven’t seen the best from them. With their sense of style and guidance from professionals, rich teens will be rushing to the stores for these ‘overpriced’ items.

We say, “Leave them to the trustfund babies”.

Gossip Girl: Mean and Pretty

I am so happy. Gossip Girl is finally back on track. The past two episodes had been torturous, really. I don’t want GG to turn into another ‘The O.C.’ where every character become so f-up as the plot gets blown out of proportion! Next week is the season finale - hurrah! It has been an awesome season and I can’t wait for more fabulosity and drama.

I hate G. Then again, I like her style. It’s like the bad girl version of ‘Serena’ in terms of style. Dan looks quite hot in that biker jacket - who is giving him fashion tips lately?

Serena’s gold trench coat is gorgeous. Blair looks classic… but doesn’t impress.

Hottest. Dad. Ever. Why bother with Dan when you can have yummy Rufus?

Vanessa never fails to impress with her bohemian-chic style. I love the ethnic print top paired with the animal-print jacket. And, love her accessories!

Miss Lisa Loeb made a special appearance in this episode to introduce Rufus’ band. Her dress is fun and swirly! Do you like it? I think it’s age-appropriate and cheeky at the same time.

It is one thing to be famous. And, another to be immortalized. Our fave ‘IT’ girl, Agyness Deyn has is being unveiled as Rootstein Mannequin’s latest model on May 20th. Rootstein Creative Director Kevin ArpinoI explains the choice, “Rootstein has had a long history of predicting the decades most influential visages and we felt that Agyness embodies the look of the first decade of this century. Her style and mannerisms both on and off the runway, as well as her fabulous physique, made her the perfect choice to be immortalized as a mannequin.”

Agyness Deyn is the face of this century. In her second solo cover of June 2008’s Vogue UK, Agyness looks uber-cute in a “teeny weeny white Burberry shorts with her peroxide crop artfully tousled (by Sam McKnight) – and summer is here at last”.

Sex and the City Movie: London Premiere

This is the fashion movie of the year! The stylish quad walked down the red carpet at the London premiere of ‘Sex and the City: Movie’. Everybody is going to blog about this (well, almost everyone!). So is the movie a hit or a miss – I wouldn’t know until the film premieres in Singapore in the upcoming week. And, you’ll hear from Fash-E first.

Sarah Jessica Parker rocks the red carpet in a green tulle and feathery Alexander McQueen dress and “Fred Leighton diamonds with an amazing Phillip Treacy hat, complete with green roses and yellow butterflies”. It’s refreshing to see her play to her whimsical ‘Carrie Bradshaw’ alter-ego. SJP is never boring, I love it!

Cynthia Nixon does classy with this plunging black metallic Calvin Klein dress. It’s sophisticated and alluring. My friends and I were talking about our favourite SATC character – I think I have a little “Miranda” in me and of course, a fraction of “Samantha” and maybe “Carrie”.

Red is the colour of sexy. Kim Cattrall picks red as the colour of her night. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of this asymmetrical red dress by Vivienne Westwood. The silhouette is not visually appealing and the hair, oh… what happen. Sexy, is not the word to describe Kim’s choice.

Kristin Davis looks demure and stunning in this vintage red chiffon Guy Laroche Couture dress. I always admire anyone who dares to take the risk with a vintage number – especially when there is a fine line between looking classic, or looking old. For Kristin, she absolutely nailed the look!

Only 16 more days before SATC opens in Singapore! Are you exciteeeed? I’m receiving tons of emails for the SATC: Movie Contest. Maybe I should hire the parrot fortuneteller from Tekka Mall to pick the winners for me.
