First, Amy Winehouse. Now, British IT-girl, Peaches Geldof has fallen into a deep, dark hole. On Sunday, she was given the “kiss of life” after a suspected drug overdose. This wild child of Sir Bob Geldof has been surprising us with her antics and of course, her chameleon style. Fash-E hopes she doesn’t fall from grace at such a young age. Let’s take a look at her style transformation from 2005:
My favourite look of all (see left)- her braided hair and Fendi everything. Nice.
Hanging out with her equally stylish sister, Pixie Geldof.
Blonde Ambition: Peaches will be launching her capsule collection soon. She told Refinery29, “It’s very sexy, flirty, and very new romantic/neo-gothic and 1960s Swinging London. Don’t expect any bright colors—but frills, short hemlines, and plunging backless all-in-ones are all featured prominently. There are also a few vanity cases on offer bag-wise, and some great 1960s-style buckled ankle boots.”
I like how she makes preppy looks ultra-snazzy, and punkish.
She’s got the rocker, glam chick going on.
Peaches always has her lil’ black dress, and black stockings.
She loves purple!
How ironic that Peaches‘ friends are wearing the same thing with the same hair!

FINALLY! The most anticipated wedding of the year: Tony Leung (arguably, one of the best Asian actors) & Carina Lau have tied the knot in a beautiful, majestic wedding ceremony in the Himalayan nation, Bhutan. You know this has to be fantabulous when you have renowned director, Wong Kar-Wai as your wedding ‘curator’. That is sooo rare to the point that it will never happen again (unless he decided to venture into the bridal business). The wedding photos were released yesterday by Jet Tone Films and I’ve got to say, I teared a little. This is real love.
The happy couple. It’s as though they haven’t age a bit.
Carina Lau in Vera Wang dress. And, ooh I love the five-tier wedding cake! Pretty! She is also wearing her 12-carat Cartier wedding ring, worth over 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Aww. This photo is amazing!
I read in the Newpaper today that Fann Wong and Christopher Lee might have theirs in the Himalayas! Copy cats!
They had a traditional Buddhist ceremony, as it is the officially recognised in Bhutan. Congrats!!

It’s 4:30pm - everyone is packing up and leaving work. Why? Because we need therapy - get our grudges, anger and some ‘love’ out in the Paint Ball field! So, the gang head down to Red Dynasty Paint Ball field up in the North to shoot some ‘love’. I didn’t like ‘dress up’ or anything - worse, I forgot my shoes and extra clothes! I ransacked the ‘Lost & Found’ and all I got was a white T-shirt and a maternity dress! Of course, I just put on the T-shirt to prevent my tank top from looking like a disastrous art piece. It was great fun, really! My team won the first round and our rivals won the second (due to luck!!).
My very basic all-black outfit. Not paint ball friendly!
Oh yeah, don’t mess with us! We’ve “guns”!!
ARGH!! I’ve been shottt!! By Raymond (crazy dude).
I feel almost like a Power Ranger. Here’s a secret: I was a Pink Ranger.
The Americans are ARMED!
OMFG ads are so ‘last season’. Gossip Girl is here to provoke with these tantalizing, sexy ads for the new season premiering on August 7. Are you excited? I hope Season 2 takes us to another ‘high’, and more dramas. Stop teasing and give us moreee! 16 days to go…

I’m such a TV addict, and it’s always fun to catch up on my weekly TV fix. And, we’re all awaiting the new season of Gossip Girl and I’m looking forward to the new 90210 - Brenda is coming back!! I want more Prison Break (yes, yummy Wentworth Miller), Ugly Betty, Weeds (two more seasons!!) etc. Also, who’s counting down the days to Stylista? So, it’s TCA Weekend and Fash-E has roundup the pretty looks from the red carpet:

Hurray! My weekly Project Runway fashion fix is back for Season 5 - supposedly the most diverse group of the series. Well, they always say that - right? I’m just happy that there’s the Internet if not, I’ll have to wait forever for the season to premiere on Discovery Travel & Living. This week, we see the contestants scurrying through a grocery store with $75 to make something out of anything they buy. So here are the Yays and the Nays of last week’s episode, “Let’s Start from the Beginning”:
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!
The Yays
Definitely my top two. I applaud Daniel for melting plastic cups to make that gorgeous blue plastic dress. And Kelli for her amazing creativity for fusing art with fashion.
The picnic party dress may be predictable but I love the results. It’s like a gingham dress. And, who dares to use fresh produce for a dress - great work, Korto! Love the bright yellow color.
I think Kenley’s idea of popping rubber balls to make the bustier is sooo cute. Can you imagine working with that material? And, Terri used the cotton from mop heads and weave them into this hot top.
The Nays
Do I sense psycho killer and diaper-wearing wrestling aunty?

Daniel lift up his plastic cup dress - it has a life of its own!
Blayne thinks he’s the next Christian Siriano. Girlicious, NOT!

I haven’t had the best couple of days and Bubster cheered me up this morning with a surprise package from his mum, dad and grandma! YEAH! More pressies! It was really sweet of them to send me an early birthday present from NZ. I really love the wrapper as well - pink and stilletos! What could it beee?
I’ve got a red bag, a pretty floral print dress from Jay Jays, a pink flower necklace from Karma (Silver Moon) and the most adorable birthday card! I miss Bubster’s parents and grandma - his grandma is soo cool, and full of life. I wanna be her at her age - traveling, shopping and all. She loves shopping too - haha.
Here’s a closeup of the necklace and the floral print. Simple, but sweet.
I know, I shouldn’t open up my presents until my birthday - which is about 1.5 week away. This is such an appropriate card! I squealed when I saw the pug princess. Inside the card says, “It should happen EVERY DAY! Happy Birthday” Yes, I want to be spoiled, pampered and treated like royalty every single day. HINT. At least for my birthday month.
So, it’s my birthday month and Bubster said I can pick my presentsss, haha. I’m not a spoiled lil’ girlfriend - wait a minute, I’m kinda spoiled but I am reasonable. At least I would like to think so. I don’t think boyfriends should spend ‘too’ lavishly on a girlfriend unless he’s earning mega bucks or has a big trust fund. My Bubster is earning a decent income but I don’t believe in him buying me anything more than say, $1K.
Recently, a friend got his girlfriend a Prada handbag for her birthday (and he’s a full-time university student!)To me, that’s a holiday for two - it’s too much for me, but I think it’s really awesome for him to do so. I think you should set a healthy ratio of the price of the gift against your income. Subjective? How much do you think boyfriends/girlfriends should spend on their partners?
I picked my awesome non-branded bag for my birthday - haha, a YAK PAK Megu handbag (retailed at SGD$59.90) from Spin The Bottle. Bubster and I love this multi-label shop - firstly, it’s a breath of fresh air from the local fashion scene. They bring in cool brands like The Lifetime Collective, Fortune Denim, GAMA-GO and etc. We bought a few T-shirts and a GAMA-GO bag from them over the past year.
Jenny Humphrey carried this in an episode of Gossip Girl. Avril Lavigne has been seen with one with skulls print. I just found out today that YAK PAK handbags come with lifetime warranty for any manufacturing defects. I got the YAK PAK Megu’s Grey Ivy Forest. I spent a fair bit of time deliberating between this one, Grey Bamboo, Black Swallows and Pills.
YAK PAK Megu handbags are made of soft cotton twill with satin interior. I was looking for a casual, weekend mid-size handbag and this is cute, even though it’s not exactly cheap. It’s also their best-selling purse range. I love the size of the bag, and it’s versatility. It also comes with a cute keychain in the built-in pockets. Hee. That’s yours truly’s birthday gift #1. It may not be Prada but it’s pretty fabulous!
