Get Ready for Great Singapore Sale 2008!

It’s the time of the year again! Get your bonus out, and credit card ready (but of course, we approve responsible shopping, not frivolous ok?) as the Great Singapore Sale 2008 starts today! Fash-E is giving you the low-down on where, what and when to shop over the weekend. My mum’s going to be in town for a weekend shoppin’ spree (minus the BF). Then, mum and I will catch Indy Jones together like old times.

It’s the movie that every stylista is talking about: Sex and the City. To celebrate the launch of the film, Dresscode at The Cathay are selling limited pieces of SJP’s Bitten line. I popped by Dresscode this afternoon to take a sneak peek at what they’ve brought in. The price ranges from SGD$39 to SGD$59 - hmm, $49 for a camisole? I think you should give this a miss.

Singaporeans loveee their MNG sale. There’ll be security, long queues and messy piles of clothes. I never queue for the fitting room - in fact, I just wear it on the spot. To kick start GSS, MNG is starting off with 10% off for any 2 items from 23 May to 25 May.

Take the BF shopping as well at the Adidas sale at the Singapore Expo from 23 May to 25 May. The sale will be held at Singapore Expo Hall 6B form 11am to 7pm. Up to 70% sale! Time to stock up on chic sports wear.

There’s a bazaar happening one day only on 24 May at Bar None, Marriott Hotel from 12noon to 7pm. The first 500 shoppers will receive a goodie bag at the door and you’ll also stand a chance for a lucky dip for every $20 purchase. Also, there’ll be 1-for-1 beer and housepour all day long. Hmm.

‘Sex and the City’ Party @Barfly, Singapore

Firstly, a million thanks to Warner Bros who invited Fash-E to the Sex and the City Party at Barfly, Clarke Quay last night. This fantabulous event is organized by L’Officiel Singapore, the official magazine for the movie. Only SIX more days to opening of SATC movie in the Singapore theatres! And, this party is a perfect time and place to create unprecedent buzz about the famous stylish quad - Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte. I am really anticipating the movie! I already know what I’m wearing to the gala premiere. LOL.

So, Lawrence and I arrived at Barfly and there were lotsa people hanging around. A gorgeous model/waiter handed me a bottle of Coke Light - ooh lala, this evening is going to be fantastic!

Lawrence and I striked a pose for Lifestyle.sg and his photographer friend who’s covering the event for L’Officiel Singapore. Oh yes, we’re trigger-happy if you ask me!

As we were walking up to Barfly, we see these! Bling Bling display of clutches and lotsa goodie bags! I likeee.

Okay, so we’re not the first people who arrived. I kept my eyes open for beautiful lookin’ and stylish people. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed to see so many of them dressed in BLACK or WHITE. Ultra-safe, but I’ve to take into account that most of them prolly came straight from work.

Lawrence and his friends from Shiny Happy People. Yes, we’re drowning ourselves silly in free flow Cosmopolitans, Flirtinis and Champagne. I’ve to say I really like the brownies and crab balls they served. Otherwise, I must be really hungry.

We can’t help but camwhore while standing around - waiting waiting waiting. I hate events that make you wait. But, the organizers had a lovely lady who sang ‘New York New York’ on stage. Cheers to my Cosmo!

Finally! The fashion show. Featuring clothing and accessories from Fendi, Chanel etc. (I can’t remember after a few drinks!). You see that glass centrepiece over there? Someone knocked it over after the fashion show. LOL… I feel for her, must be really embarassing.

Do you think the one of the left looks a little like SJP? Basically, the models strutted down the bar and spin around this centrepiece. I saw some lovely stuff but I wasn’t in the perfect position to take photos.

SJP-lookalike, hmm she’s not very pretty if you ask me. Also, not your typecast skinny model. I was very distracted by the clothing actually.

Is that Dharma? I think the short-hair model on the left looks alot like Jenna Elfman but prettier (BF said that!). Ooh, I love the Miranda reference about her. The one on the right must be a Charlotte reference.

The ladies were screaming like crazy in the front. I was wondering “Those were the same male models who served Coke Light - what’s so crazy about that?” UNTIL I saw these: MANOLO BLAHNIK shoes served in funky trays. Noticed the girls on the left looking at the shoe, not the boy. Talk about a fabulous fashion show!

Even the male models are amused by the reactions garnered from the people around them. It’s like the holy grail… you can see, but you can’t touch.

All ladies were given a Manolo Blahnik card at the entrance and three lucky ladies with the right picture and quote will each win a pair of Manolo Blahnik!! How awesome is that? I got the RIGHT SHOE but the wrong quote. Damn, I could have been a winner last night.

The girls came out to model more clothes after the Manolo Blahnik frenzy. I love the dress on the right, black multi-tiered dress with a plunging neckline. Sexyyy.

Models are not looking my way. Hey, look here beautiful! Anyway, there are nice belts as you can see here.

After a few Cosmos, I’m lookin’ a little red and tipsy. LOL. We got our goodie bags (let’s see, SATC luggage tag, SATC poster, Kenneth Cole wallet & discount vouchers, SJP fragrance ‘Lovely’, Lancome makeover voucher and May’s L’Officiel Singapore - including complimentary issues for the next 3 months). I look super silly. And, I need a nicer hair cut!

Kate Moss for Topshop SS08

Miss Kate Moss’ new Topshop collection is launched today! I’ve to say, her designs have improved since the last season. Her latest range of spring/summer dresses, tops and fun bikinis make you wanna have all the fun under the sun. You can expect to see frilly frocks, romantic floral blouses and cute bikinis - very “in”, if you ask me. Here’s a sneak peek of the collection before you hit the shops!

Ooh, I love this Indian printed dress. Perfect for our hot hot weather!

More florals! I am sooo lovin’ this. But, must see the real thing.

Kate makes blue looks beautiful.

I love short shorts. I wish my thighs are slimmer.

Spotted: Gwyneth Paltrow at Cannes Film Fest 2008

Some call it a ’safe’ choice but I think this navy Chanel gown with a peekaboo plunging neckline, is stunning on Gwyneth Paltrow. She arrived at the Cannes Film Festival 2008 premiere of ‘Two Lovers’ and as you can see, she’a  paparazzi magnet!! I love the bow detail in between the neckline. Absolutely sweet. Do you like it?

Gossip Girl Season One Finale: Bitter & Sweet

Finally. Gossip Girl first season has come to an end. I can’t believe we’ve to wait till September, Fall till the second season begins. Yikes, what are we going to do in between? Let’s focus on the present and here are the hot, stylish wedding shots from yesterday’s episode:

Serena VS Georgina
Yes, it’s a style showdown. Who’re we loving? The sweet, casual-chic Serena in skinny jeans OR bad-girl biker jacket and dark-coloured Georgina? Because I do not like G, I’m giving the Serena the thumbs up!

Pink and Floral
Blair Waldorf has the cutest clothes and accessories. I think she looks pretty in pink in this spring-lovin’ floral halter trapeze dress. The flower neckline is an on-going trend of the moment (see Serena’s bridesmaid dress below). We’re definitely feeling summer for this GG wedding. Love the headband!

The Lovebirds
Are they’re staying together, or dunzo? I will not spoil it for you but let me just say that both relationships have a bitter-sweet cliffhanger till the next season. Are we loving Lily’s bridal style? I think it is very age-appropriate and I loveee the diamond necklace. Serena’s yellow tiered-chiffon bridesmaid dress paired with black gloves, black belt and a black corsage - simply amazing. I love it.

Who’s The Girl?
The new Mrs Bass, Lily, introduced this mysterious girl as her “decorator”. Is she Chuck’s latest conquest - or not? Anyway, we’re digging the royal blue dress and her white gladiator heels. And, ooh… that bag!

Skinny Headband
I love this heart-print top that Blair is wearing but this isn’t a good picture. We see lotsa tied-up hair with waves and skinny headband. I don’t wanna explain what’s going on in this picture - watch and go figure. Now, I can’t wait for Season Two.

Glamour at Cannes Film Festival

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?

 

Claudia Schiffer is Hot Mama

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!
