My jaw literally dropped when I read that Marc Jacobs named a bag, BB - after famed blogger, Bryan Boy. Not just a bag, but the entire style - including the androgynous ad campaign! I like how Cole Mohr rocks the female outfit and not look strange. Then again, it’s fashion - nothing’s strange in this business.
A free bag and a personal note from Marc Jacobs *jealous*
Here’s a cool idea: Society Girl’s and the Traveling Shirt as conceptualised by The Vintage Society. One shirt, passed around to six awesome society girls around the globe, as each of them styled it to their own taste and fancy. Voila! We get six unique styles from the girls and united by the fantastic striped shirt. This is ingenious - I mean, I’ve read The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and this is like a whole new level.
Oh my, passed the shirt down here to Singapore! In the meantime, check out these six fabulous ladies:
I spotted this dude and his friends walking at Sunshine Plaza last weekend. I noticed this thing swinging behind his bum and OMFG, it’s a raccoon tail! Or whatever it is.
Firstly, his red pants with crazy white bands hanging all over it - very very crazy and prolly the fugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Plus, why pin a raccoon tail to the back? It’s as though he can’t make the look any worse. I literally followed him with my camera phone and I was like “I’ve to blog this down!
Here’s me on a typical Monday. I had a trim yesterday - basically to get my bangs back, and trying to straighten my ends because it’s Operation ‘Grow X-Wen’s Hair’. I have short hair for like, the longest time. I never had the patience to grow my hair - and I’ve even explored the option of “hair extensions” and even Japanese wigs. But once my hair grows out - it’s snip snip!! Now, I’m determined to get my hair to reach my shoulders - at the very least. ARE YOU WITH MEEE??
Here’s Edna Mole - in case you’re wondering where I got that strange pose from.
I thought I looked too funny, here’s a more posey take. Everyone is in a meeting except the useless, but resourceful part-timer. BTW, I made it to MNG sale yesterday - and I got three t-shirts. Nothing fancy, or worth showing off. They were cheap so I just grab grab. Have a lovely Monday, people!
When Cartier calls, celebrities come out to play. The Cartier Charity Love Bracelet launch attracted big names such as Nicole Richie, Fergie, Madden brothers, Bridget Moynahan, Emmy Rossum, Eva Mendes and etc. It has been said that each guest represented a different charity and contributed their favorite love song to the Cartier Love Charity playlist. How nice. Let’s see who’s looking fantabulous that night:
Print and Pretty
Yeah, we love prints. Fergie is rocking some fierce heels as she strut down the red carpet. Love her legs. Nicole Richie looks lovely with her maternal glow.
Ingenue in Dresses Emmy Rossum and Chloe Sevigny both look adorable and chic in their dresses. Chloe pinned a vintage-like flower brooch on her dress, nice.
Sister 2 Sister
I honestly think Hilary Duff looks beautiful in the cobalt blue dress and very fierce heels! Love the black nails too. Haylie took a safe choice with a little black dress.
Sexy Duo Eva Mendes and Eve both looked sexy and sulty in their respective dresses. I never noticed Eve’s wild cat paw tattoo just above her breasts. Absolutely wild!
My first reaction when I saw this was “WOAH!”Rihanna was spotted wearing Balenciaga gladiator boots to the BET studios. At her young age, she can pull almost anything and I’m glad she didn’t go OTT with this. Remember to plan your outfit around your “key” item - and Rihanna did it with a chic black number. I love it. Balenciaga really took it to another level.
Here’s another young starlet jumping into the “I’m a Fashion Designer” bandwagon - yes, it’s none other than lovely Mischa Barton. Today, we get a sneak peek at her “selection of 30 vintage-inspired shoulder bags and clutches in earth-tone colors” - hmm, doesn’t the flower logo reminds you of Loewe?
So let’s say these bags are gorgeous and you gotta have ‘em - what kind of damage are we talking about? They will be retailed between $40-$265 - not too bad right? But I’ve to say, so far… I’m not very excited about them. The bags will be launched next month.
First, we have the ‘Boyfriend’shirt trend. Now, it seems like the girls are stealing the bottoms too! Sxy Fashion Queen has spotted some celebrities hiding in their boyfriend’s or hubby’s pants and are we lovin’ this? Is this here to stay - at least for a little while?
Let’s see who’s sporting the boyfriend’s jeans: Ginger Spice, Gwen Stefani (ooh, she’s rocking the look!) and Kylie Minogue! Kylie looks kinda mummy over here… not working for me.
It looks like Victoria Beckham has already started it with trousers instead! I think she looks uber-chic (There you go, Bingboompia! I’m endorsing VB’s style)
Bingboompia : HAHA! Idr needs a live. Now GO! Heck care him/her x-wen. Anyway, about the katie X miumiu, I couldn't believe it when I first saw the rumor! Katie just don't match Miu miu me thinks.
x-wen : ldr: This is a shoutbox, not a chatbox. We don't linger around online for like... forever. I'm sorry you couldn't find anyone to talk to and who is Anne? Anna? Be specific. Blabbering doesn't solve anything.
ldr : Who cares. I go now. forever
ldr : I just want to talk to someone
ldr : I just want to die. Why would anyone zap me from a comment page for this?
ldr : I guess that none of you want to accept any 'outsiders' I just don't get it. Is it because I nixed Anne? or because I said the c word.? I just want to talk to somebody
ldr : If it is because I used a swear word, I will not do again. I just want my voice to be heard, I will not use the c word again. Why was I taken off?
ldr : hello?? I am not a person who is wanting to create mayhem. Hello?
ldr : Is this comment page only for Zhang and xwen? I am not sure if I am being heard, or even welcome
ldr : how do I talk to anyone?
ldr : Who the hell does Anne think she is?? I wish she'd get off her high horse. I almost puked when I just saw her response to someone who brought her the cashmiere throw, and she asked with such gravity, "what is the thread count' Then I realized that this show, this person is one who should be given the ax. Maybe she is good at what she does in her job, but as a human, she is of the lowest of lowest. and I feel that I am of one of the lowest to have even
x-wen : Rose: hey life is a challenge and we gotta make lotsa fabulous lemonade! i'm so cheesy.
x-wen : bingboompia: I like the bimbo factor in Rachel! At least she's a genuine bimbo haha. Lego catwalk rawks la.
Rose : x-wen! saw ur comment, it's so sweet. Thanks =) and don't worry me is better now. lol
Bingboompia : Anyway! The Castelbajac X Lego show's AMAZING and hilarious! THERE'S EVEN ANNA WINTOUR! haha!
Bingboompia : I watched the first 2 episodes! I really love the mention of designers, and the "behind the scenes" styling of celebrities. But the way Rachel zoe speak was kinda bimbo-tic to me, so I stopped. HAHA! I know, "Bananas~".
x-wen : jo: oh yeah, totally gay for silver! hahahaha. Do any of you watch The Rachel Zoe Project? I really like it haha. Too much TV!!
x-wen : bingboompia: yes! I need to find that Valentino film.
jo_wottoncool : I <3 SILVER. she is coolios and sooo pretty.
Bingboompia : God, I've no idea! They should publicize more! The Valentino bio movie recently didn get much recognition either!
x-wen : Apparently, there are four Coco Chanel films being made now. Spoilt for choice! I can't wait for Audrey Tautou's version.
Bingboompia : OMG! I cant wait for the coco chanel bio movie!! late 2009?! guess good things will worth the wait. And karl lagerfeld for styling?! AWESOME!
x-wen : bingboompia: Camera Obscura is from Glasgow, Scotland (if I'm not mistaken). Go listen to their music, very easy listening stuff!!
Bingboompia : God xiao wen, you really loves and knows your music! Is the band from london, their style really do reflect that. And am glad to be tagged! will get to that soon. Thanks!!
x-wen : Rose: Glad to know that my funny photos made your day! It's fun to play dress up - coming up Halloween!!

Rose : LO(very)L! I can't help it, knowing you in person just makes me wanna laugh even more. OMG X-WEN UR PICTURES HAVE MADE MY DAY.
Bingboompia : HAHAHA!! Great attempt on the rocker look!! Nice eye make-up too! I think it's CRAZY to have girls flashing out their boobies, but i guess it's normal in rocker concerts eh? Looks extremely rockish!!
x-wen : Ooh, you'll never know... BB is a great guy, very down-to-earth and genuinely nice. And, stylish too! Jealous. LOL. Night Safari should be quite fun! I'm planning to go. LOL.
Rose : haha, night safari huh, hmm... i might have to consider..lol
Rose : I can't imagine if kris from KRISATOMIC come to sg, I would go mad I guess. LOL! you're so funny, glad that you have fun! Yup, I'll e-mail you. And... "paiseh" to say so.. I didn't exactly know bryanboy only until now, went to his blog yesterday and I have to say he really has a cool sense of style.
x-wen : Halloween? Night Safari? LOL.
x-wen : OMFG. MOTLEY CRUE WAS FANTASTIC, CRAZY, FUN and I freakin' saw BOOBS.
x-wen : Rose! Email me. We've to get your contact. We only managed to call those we have last week. Would be fun with more people. BB's coming back again in Nov.
