Bryan Boy is One Lucky Bitch

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*

Cole Mohr lookin’ ultra hot in MJ.

Love the big bow dress!

Yes Bryan Boy, you’ve made it - lucky bitch.

The Vintage Society’s Traveling Shirt

(Source: The Vintage Society)

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:

Rhiannon, 27 from Chicago, Illinois.

Sarah, 25 from Pennysylvania.

Jennifer, 32 from Alabama.

Siri, 23 from Brooklyn, New York.

Francesca, 21 from Boston.

Rikka, 21 from Finland.

Fashion Faux Pas: Raccoon Tail

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!

Look Book: Operation “Grow X-Wen’s Hair”

Doing the Edna Mole

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!

Who? What? Where? Cartier Love Bracelet Launch

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!

Spotted: Rihanna in Balenciaga Gladiator Boots

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.

Mischa Makes Handbags

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.

Trendspotting: Boyfriend’s Jeans

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)
