You know what’s hot? I’m seeing hippie headbands making waves in fashion blogs and lookbooks. I can tell you that I’m absolutely digging this style. It’s a simple accessory that adds a vintage touch and brings out the bohemian princess in you! Forget about thick, colourful headbands ala Gossip Girl - because the 60s are back to style your lovely mane.

Based on Lulu of Everybody is Ugly’s recommendation, Littledoe is an amazing fashion discovery! It makes be want to wear a unique headpiece like tomorrow (if I get my hands on one, or… DIY!). The lookbook is sooo beautiful, and it has such a surreal look or treatment. Anyway, Littledoe headpiece is “one of a kind and entirely handmade from the highest quality antique materials”. Do contact them if you want your very own.

Rumi from Fashion Toast also sported a thin braided hippie-like headband for her vintage eBay shop, Treasure Chest Vintage. She’s prolly one of the more stylish fashion bloggers around - and I really like her sunshine-kissed skin tone and long blonde hair. Sigh, I wish my hair is longer. Another thing about hippie headbands - they do look better on silky long hair. Adds to the bohemian flavour.

Here’s an example of headband crime commited by our dear Mary-Kate Olsen when she wore an 60s-inspired Marc Jacobs headband from his Fall ‘08 collection. The fashion forward Olsen, basically jumpstarted the trend - in a rocky and err… furry fashion. When Rock.The.Trend blogged about this, I thought maybe I couldn’t get used to the idea of a furry headband - on a hindsight, I think it’s fug-ing fugly. I like my hippie headband thin, and pretty - not like some roadkill.
Here’s a weekend D-I-Y project for moi: Create my own Hippie headband. Anyway, Happy Labour Day! Woot.
Remember: You didn’t hear it from me! SSHH!!!
When I was young, I find it exciting to form the most perfect, and longest pencil shaving whenever I sharpen my pencil. Yes, I’m easily thrilled and satisfied - thank you very much. Victoria Mason’s sharpening pendant is the bomb! Created due to the fascination for perfect pencil shaving, this necklace is made of sterling silver and available in red or blue.
Besides, there are other necklaces inspired by childhood and the honest sense of wonder - ‘saved you a seat‘ and ‘paper plane‘ are amazing as well. Currently, Victoria Mason is only available in various parts of Aussie and NZ.
Do check out VM’s very cute earrings as well. I particularly like peg and your toast. So incredibly adorable.

Dance of the Dragon starring Fann Wong, Jang Hyuk and Jason Scott Lee, premiered last Wednesday at The Cathay. The good thing is that the slight drizzle didn’t dampen the star-studded red carpet event. Let’s see who’s looking good strutting down the red carpet:
Fann Wong looks lovely in a black toga dress with a big fastener on her left shoulder. Anyone knows who she’s wearing? I like her drop earrings as well.
Andrea de Cruz with her best accessory, err… man accessory - Pierre Png. Now who says she needs slimming pills? I’m not sure about her red and purple colour combi, but I think her shiny purple/green heels rock!
Love the red cropped jacket! Lose the belt!
Andrea Fonseka looks pretty in pink. And, love the green butterfly flats!
Hmm, I don’t like her head to toe ’satin’ look - I mean, top to clutch to bottom? I don’t even approve the sheer lacy thing she’s wearing - so aunty!
Rebecca Tan of Fashion Forward is lookin’ casual chic in a tank top, jeans and boots. Nice.

Hope Robertson said, “This dress design is an ode to summer – meant to look like the sky — and I’d say the blue and frothy print of this Zac Posen creation even resembles the sea.” It couldn’t be described better. I think the uneven bubble hem is ingenious. Net-A-Porter styled it with Jimmy Choo shoes, a Chloé bag and a Philippe Audibert bracelet.
Available at Net-A-Porter at £2,368, the editor quiped “this divine Zac Posen dress seizes upon the idea and transfers it to a modern evening silhouette with brilliant result”.

As seen on Agyness Deyn on the runway and the fabulous, Rachel Bilson, the dress is definitely captivating and eye-catching. I think Rachel Bilson looks absolutely sweet and gorgeous with dark tights and black heels. And, I love her new hair! This is my favourite look of the season. What’s yours?
I was reading Frankie magazine yesterday and I spotted Holy Calamity! from Western Australia. Their eclectic, adorable charm necklaces are such darlings. As seen as the picture above, it’s like reliving your childhood ‘playing teatime’ days - wearing your heart around your neck.
I like the pink sneaker charms as well - in all honesty, it’s not hard to make these necklaces. With the right tools and charms, you can easily D-I-Y this (for the frugal fashionista!). Then again, do you have the time?
This is the steel ‘pearl’ necklace. This could easily go with any outfit due to its versatility. What do you think?

This is my most exciting ‘buy’ of the week. I popped by HMV at Heeren this afternoon to get my latest issue of i-D magazine for May 2008’s Agyness Deyn issue. For the first time in 28 years, the magazine dedicated an entire issue to a single individual. How awesome is that? There are six different covers but I only saw TWO covers at HMV - bummer. I’m quite sure the ‘nipple’ didn’t get MDA’s approval. Splashed across the page says “ICON” - how apt.
As the face of Britain, Agyness Deyn is the new “IT” girl, and fashion muse for Henry Holland of House of Holland, and defies all modeling myths - tomboy, short cropped hair, boyis figure, different and highly edgy. She’s prolly the first model that got everyone saying “Kate.. who?” She’s the coolest - I mean, she eats fish & chips and pizza! Thank gawd for high metabolism rate. Here’s a sneak peek which I absolutely love to the max. This is such a collector’s edition if you love all things Agyness:
She’s a man, he’s a woman. You decide.
OMG. She’s such a cutie. I’m havin’ a major major crush. “We are all Prostitutes” LOL.
You can see Agyness Deyn in her naked glory - I feel totally gay now.

On a random note, I had a ‘light bulb’ moment while having Vietnamese food at Va Va Voom Cafe. Then I shared the idea with a friend - you know what I dislike, someone butchering my idea and toss it back at my face. Sometimes I wish I kept my mouth shut.
I’m a huge supporter of digital magazines. Now, V Magazine has gone digital! I first subscribed to NYLON’s digital magazines because it was cheaper, and easier to read at work (haha). Why go digital? Firstly, it’s about saving paper and going green. Next, you can easily capture screen and blog about it (that’s a plus for me). And finally, you get to read it at your convenience and also, you can find pages in an instant minus the paper cuts!
Are you reading V?
hehes. i wish i had nicer legs to wear them with.
