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.

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!

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.
Love Brigade is this hip, cool Brooklyn label that just launched their Fall collection called, “Love, Kurt”. A tribute to the amazing Kurt Cobain. The muted hues of maroon, black, grey and brown for the Fall 2008 line is sleek yet chic which I absolutely love. I like the innovative use of buttons and strips of fabric to create a unique silhouette for the body. Check out the fabulous look book for both men and women by Love Brigade:

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.
First, Rogan. Now, Richard Chai. Target is keeping the money rolling in with fancy collaborations. What can I say? I crave for things like that. Chai’s collection with Target will be launched in August and NYLON magazine has got the first look. Nothing ground-breaking - but affordable, chic everyday looks. Now I wish there’s a Target in Singapore.

I’ve been reading Garance Doré for awhile. And, I’ve been crushing on this Miu Miu dress for a long time - yes, we’ve seen the Topshop and Bysi versions as well. Nobody takes photos like Garance Doré - well, maybe The Sartorialist. I can’t read French but I like to admire the photos and ingenuity that he captures. I’m thinking… maybe I should take up photography?
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)
