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.

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.

Stacey Dress

I love this dress. The colours are vibrant and really pops! It’s great to hide that tummy and perfect for our sunny Singapore weather. I love heart the square-neckline as well.

Milly Dress

Bring out the girl in you and twirl around in this beautiful ethereal ivory dress with unique cut-out flowers and ruffle sleeves. It also comes in gem blue colour.

Crimson Clutch

Wanna play old Hollywood glamour? This clutch is all you need. It’s perfect for a casual weekend, and also a classy night-out.

Lucy Blouse in Teal

This is a versatile piece which you can wear it as a long top, or a mini-dress. I love the teal colour and the bow detail on the puffy sleeve. Very romantic and flirty at the same time!

Bone China Teacup Set

Tea-time can be fancy as well when you have the right home accessories. This lovely teacup set will ring you back to the English old days as you sip your brew of Camomile tea.

Starry Necklace

We love statement accessories and this is definitely in our books. This gorgeous necklace will look lovely with a simple top that you can show off on a girl’s night out.

You know I blogged about the ‘Design Your Dream FENDI Baguette’ a week ago. Have you logged on to design your very own FENDI Baguette yet? I know I haven’t! But, I managed to hop down to the Singapore Fendi 10+ Exhibition yesterday at Isetan Scotts to sneak a peek at what the famous people have designed. These Baguettes are “designed by ten prominent Asian artists from various walks of life” are showcased… such as Carina Lau, Fann Wong and Hye Young Lee, to name a few”. There’s even a lovely lady who showed me how to use the design program to design your Baguette. Hurry down and check out the Baguettes now!

The “green” piece by Singapore actress, Fann Wong. It’s too complicated for me.

Spidersss! I’m not a fan of creepy crawlies on my Baguette.

This is my ultimate fave. I love the quirky illustration by Hathairat Charoenchaichana *gasps*

Peekaboo! Sad faces, aww. Definitely the most innovative.

This is painted entirely with makeup - eyeliner, eye shadow. Interesting.

I love Carina Lau. The colours are gorgeous, but the finishing is not.

This freaks me out. Colourful, memories and what young girl? By Chen Ke.

Haha, cute illustration by Raman Hui.

If you haven’t been there, go soon before the exhibition ends! Here are the details:

Skin Couture: Japanese Avant-Garde

My lunch shuttle switched location from Anchor Point to Great World City. So, yesterday I was shopping at Skin Couture, a multi label boutique by Chinese pop singer SUN that carries the “best glam rock brands worldwide“. I’m not an Ed Hardy fan (too red neck for my liking, sorry), but I’ve to say I was thrilled by the Japanese labels that she brought in such as Double Standard Clothing, Kiminori Morishita (for menswear), and etc. Here’s a quick glance:

I really really like. The neutral colours and clean lines. This is definitely my fave.

The first label that caught my eye is this one. I was digging a jacket from ‘em.

Nice Nice Nice. If only my man is more experimental in dressing up.

Glamourous, and sexy - I love the denim variation for jackets and bottoms.

Fancy cool lookin’ bags? You should look over here (and dump your Crumpler bag!)

If you’re planning to pop by Skin Couture soon, here’s a promo I saw at the shop. Scratch cards! So fun.

If you’re a Lulu Guinness fan, you’re going to love this. Timmy Woods is America’s answer to quirky designed accessories. As seen in the new Sex and the City Movie, Carrie Bradshaw is seen in this quintessential ‘Eiffel Tower’ clutch with crystals while snogging Mr. Big. OMG, the clutch is like the cutest ever! I kept hinting to my boy about the ‘birthday’ that’s coming very very soon. You can also purchase the non-crystal alternative from Nordstorm, which I personally think looks nicer than this one:
