DONATE: HOPE FOR HAITI NOW

Published on January 23, 2010 in News. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

One of my New Year’s resolutions this year is to help more. I don’t think I’ve ever been very “socially responsible” – usually my donations go to building funds or temples. This year, I’ll try to help based on the immediacy of the situation. Hope For Haiti Now is a global benefit for earthquake relief. The Asian tsunami was devastating – I’m sure everyone from this part of the world will remember how bad it was. Some lost their families. Some lost their friends. Haiti is currently going through the same catastrophe. They need help.

You can donate any amount – USD$25, USD$50, USD$100, USD$250, USD$500 & USD$1000 (again and again as well) via this website. 100% of the funds raised will go towards relief efforts in Haiti and there are NO backend costs (according to the website). Bubster and I have donated – have you?

ck Calvin Klein Spring 2010 at Queenstown Remand Prison

Published on January 23, 2010 in Celebrity, Designer, Event and Singapore. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , .

Firstly, I had a blast tonight at Queenstown Remand Prison – yes, you heard me! PRISON! This is like my “Prison Break” moment while sipping champagne (so glam right?). ck Calvin Klein presented their Spring 2010 collection with a special installation by artist Geoff Ang. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures *boo* – there were models standing in a row on a raised platform like statues. I felt sorry for them for standing in the same position for such a long period of time! It was pretty novel, I’ve to say. I was just excited to be in the prison – I mean, you’ve to applaud the creative team for bringing a high-end party into a venue that not everyone has never seen before. Bagaholicboy and Carlos from Vogueite were there as well – and boy, we had a great time. The perfect end to my very long week! TGIF!

A not-so-long wait before we enter the venue.

ck-queenstown-remand-prison-show-2

There was no red carpet. Everyone enters the venue via the side door. Including Mediacorp artiste, Cynthia Koh!

Ooh, we are all going behind bars!

ck-queenstown-remand-prison-show-3

The entire place was constructed and painted in white for this event. Yes, aircon!

Sunday Wedding Daydreaming

Published on January 17, 2010 in Bridal and Wedding. 3 Comments Tags: , .

SUNDAY. The only day of the week I dedicated myself to planning my own wedding. To be honest, I just started. At this point of time, I have nothing but daydreams. I bought bridal magazines. I tentatively set two dates (New Zealand & Malaysia). I asked for venue availability. I asked for quotations. Most importantly, I am seeking inspiration. I don’t have a big budget to blow (so, it’s goodbye Oscar de la Renta *sad face*) and I have no wedding planner. Since it’s not a ‘guy’ thing to plan, I’m doing most of it because I’m the bridezilla. Oh yeah, I can be. Right now, here’s something to inspire me and all the brides-to-be out there:

wedding-kcandsarah

most adorable save-the-date ever.

wedding-short-veil

i want a short veil. maybe with feathers. not a bird.

wedding-go-shorty

short is hot.

wedding-cakecard

this invitation card makes me HUNGRY.

wedding-vintage-madmen

Vintage inspiration? Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks took the cue.

Till tomorrow, I can’t wait for my big day already *beams*

Fashion Bloggers For Haiti: How To Help

Published on January 16, 2010 in News. 3 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

It’s never too late to do your part for humanity. 200,000 people may be dead. Many are desperate to find their loved ones in this state of devastation. Don’t be ignorant and start helping – every little bit counts. An initiative called Fashion Bloggers for Haiti – not really sure how it started – urges people to help through fashion. I’m IN FOR IT! It’s a good idea but you don’t need to shop to help. There are many ways to donate and here’s how you can do your part:

yele-haiti-tshirt

Yele Haiti
Yéle Haiti is a grassroots movement that builds global awareness for Haiti while helping to transform the country through programs in education, sports, the arts and environment. Yéle’s community service programs include food distribution and mobilizing emergency relief. Grammy-Award winning musician, humanitarian and Goodwill Ambassador to Haiti Wyclef Jean founded Yéle Haiti in 2005.

Peaces Images
This Etsy owner is sending 25% of all her sales this week to Wyclef’s Yele Haiti foundation for Earthquake relief in Haiti. Next week, she’ll choose another organization. Buy her pretty accessories and do your part for Haiti.

haiti-stillerstrong

Stiller Strong
OK. You can have a stupid looking Stiller Strong headband by donating via his website to build a school in Ceverine for the Haitian children. 100% profits go to this foundation.

Fashion Philantrophy
100% of Profits (or 50% of revenue, whichever greater) is being donated from sales generated on this site until they reach their goal of a $500 donation.

UNICEF
Children are always the most vulnerable population in any natural disaster, and UNICEF is there for them. $50, $100, $250, $500 or any amount you can give will help save lives.

For a full list of foundations, please visit this link. Don’t think. Stop overanalyzing. That Louis Vuitton can wait – Haitians can’t. Be a little selfless and donate. Thank you for your attention.

OHH LA LA. Megan Fox for Emporio Armani Underwear!

Need I say more?

Megan Fox is possibly the pin-up girl of this era. Photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, I honestly think the black and white photos of the 23-year-old actress are beautiful and sexy at the same time. The ad campaign will run in fashion magazines next month, as well as on billboards in New York, Los Angeles, London, Milan, Rome, Paris and Tokyo. Hmm, this Billboard ad might even cause potential road accidents – seriously! If you ask me, Megan Fox definitely sells lingerie better than Victoria Beckham (did anyone watch her on American Idol earlier today? – she was actually pretty funny for telling Simon Cowell off!). Well, I kinda want that lingerie set below.

Do you love or hate her as the new face of Armani?
