Double Strand Pearls
If pearls are good enough for Carrie Bradshaw, they’re good enough for me. It seems like celebs are lovin’ pearls and the trick is to layer them with multiple strands while pairing with the classic black dress. Of course, double is what Ashlee Simpson, Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwyneth Paltrow are doing.
Bright Jackets
There is nothing more show-stopping than loud, bright colours! I love Rihanna’s spunky hot pink jacket. Even Katherine Heigl and Kim Kardashian are sporting bright jackets with dark denim. Smart!
Leather Mini Skirts
Bring back the 80s staple! I used to be vegan, so I’m against the usage of real leather. You can opt for latex or faux leather like Nicky HIlton. Selita Ebanks and Ashley Olsen are pairing their minis wiht monotones and fierce shoes!
Short Suits
Show off your long legs by coordinating your black blazers with shorts like Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and Natalie Portman. I love how Rihanna paired it with a black sheer top and bright orange heels! Otherwise, you can add a little colour like Natalie with a Maroon tee.
Shimmery Beige Dress
Don’t be afraid to shine amongst the crowd. Neutral with a little sparkle can be very alluring and sexy. Take the cue from Claire Danes, Mila Kunis and Heidi Klum.

Tonight, I will heading back home for a nice long weekend with my parents, sister and friends. Bubster will be tagging along on our ‘torturous’ 9-hour journey. I’ll try to blog from home, even though I need a break from cyberspace. I’ve also a movie review to write for channelnewsasia.com over the weekend - Journey to the Center of the Earth. I actually enjoyed the film! It would be much fun if it was 3D but I might just go for the IMAX. Brendan Fraser is the MAN.
Anyway, just wanted to show off my charm necklace I bought from Miss Selfridge over the weekend. The original price was $36 and I got it for a cool $13!! Isn’t it like the best deal ever? I also bought a couple of big ass bling rings (not shown in pic) which I’ll show off on another day. So, hello to my HOLIDAY and I’ll be back on Monday. Adios!
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.
It’s no secret that I’m quite a fan of Kawaii stuff. I like my Tofu-Oyako, Tokidoki, Devilrobots and yeah, Kidrobot. And, I like Tarina Tarantino’s designs as well. How can I not be excited with the jewelry collaboration between Kidrobot and designer Tarina Tarantino? The jewelry line will debut on my eh-hem, birthday on 30th July and prices will range from USD$65 to USD$975 *ouch*
This new collection includes “necklaces, bracelets, earrings, charms, rings, and wallet chains that all feature a Kidrobot character, plus Tarantino’s signature Swarovski-crystal embellishments, Lucite beads, pearls, silk ribbons, and cast-metal pendants”. Are you lovin’ these drop earrings with angry-looking bunnies smoking cigarettes and sticking out their tongues?

Waffle Swim Cap with Chin Strap
I LOVE SUMMER. The weather is hot (even though the heat is kinda killing me!), and it’s always fun to hit the pool during this time of the year. Fashion156.com listed the summer’s most wanted and I call it the ’swim swim’ essentials. Are you ready to make a big splash?
I’m a big fan of one-piece swimwear. Live you pinup fantasies with this La Veddette’s Jane polka dot swimsuit which I’m crushing on! Or, get trigger-happy with this quirky camera print swimsuit *snap*snap*
How can you live without the necessary accessories? The sunnies! And, funky shoes! Look ultra-cool with these Karen Walker Deep Freeze sunglasses. I want to get my hands on these sleek black Opening Ceremony shoes.
More hot one-piece suits! Perfect to hide that bulge and add a little mystery to your nekkidness. If only Singapore carries American Apparel Nylon Tricot Bandeau Swimsuit, sigh. Or look innocent in white in this Lover Crochet swimsuit. Are we hitting the pool yet?

Exam’s over! It’s the holidays woohoo! I can’t wait to pack my bags and leave this country. Well, not for another couple of weeks at least. Also, it’s time to shop before the Great Singapore Sale ends. I haven’t been to my usual shopping haunts in ages. People.com has listed some cool trends and are you lovin’ them?
CLEAR SUNGLASSES
Leave last summer’s colored frames behind – Sienna Miller, Kirsten Dunst and Ashlee Simpson take a see-through approach to staying shady.
YELLOW DENIM
Who needs basic blue when you can add so much pop to your denim with sunny yellow? Heidi Montag, Jada Pinkett Smith and Audrina Patridge have already picked up on the bold trend.
FRINGED PURSES
Hollywood channels the Wild West with these bold bags – already seen on the stylish arms of Rachel Bilson, singer Leona Lewis and Heidi Klum.
WHITE MAXIDRESSES
Beat the heat in breezy long dresses in pure white like Eva Longoria, Lauren Conrad and Jessica Simpson. Add on oversized sunglasses and a neutral bag for maximum style points.
JUMPSUITS
Malin Ackerman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rihanna go for one easy piece in their sharply tailored one-piece looks.
WATERCOLOR FLORAL DRESSES
Cameron Diaz, Heidi Montag and Knocked Up’s Leslie Mann take an artistic approach to their spring florals in sweet strapless shapes.
Sorry for the hiatus. I’ve been sticking my head in the books - exam is happening in 7 days or less! Plus, I’ve to juggle my time finishing stuff at work. I’m still religiously reading my daily fashion blogs and sites. I’ve been reading Trend de la Creme for awhile. They’re awesome in trendspotting. John Galliano presented his haute couture fall-winter 2008/2009 fashion collection for Dior yesterday. I don’t know about you, but I think the ‘helmet head’ look is kinda cool.

I blogged about the hippie headband trend awhile back. Now, I’m shifting my focus on Urban Outfitters‘ new range of headwraps. I absolutely want them! Headwrap is a simple way to jazz up your lovely mane with minimal effort yet look ultra-chic.
This is something different from what I’ve been seeing. This mesh flower headwrap is a darling. I can imagine wearing this on a lovely Sunday at a picnic or just strolling in the park with my Boy. Hee.
Ikat is a style of weaving and also tie-dye - hence, this fabric is translated in this Ikat headwrap. It adds an ethnic flavour if you’re thinking of going bohemian.
This skinny feather headwrap is really pretty, and sexy. No worries, no peacocks were harmed during the design of this headwrap. We don’t believe in animal sacrifice for the sake of fashion.
Step aside braided headwraps and make way for this unique linked headwrap of interlocking pieces of leather finished with a suede tie. Let’s hope it doesn’t leave stress marks on your forehead! Go headwraps!
