Hmm. Our dear Mary-Jane Watson a.k.a. Kirsten Dunst was spotted backstage at the JellyNYC Pool Party in Brooklyn’s McCarren Park Pool on Sunday to check out shows by MGMT and the Ting Tings. She looks a little under the weather, don’t you think? I like the green Wayfarers but the T-shirt has got to go.
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.

Who loves themed-parties? My friend, Janice is throwing a Masquerade 25th birthday bash at House @Dempsey on an undisclosed date (just in case there will be party crashers!). I haven’t been to a theme par-tay in awhiel thanks to my very boring life. So, here am I seeking inspiration for the fabulous party and I’m on the hunt for a dramatic mask. Yes, I’m all about drama!

This is Masquerade on the ‘cheap’. Just a simple strip of black veil across the eye - as inspired by Marie Antoinette. This simple ‘mask’ works due to the elaborate 18th century costume and electrified hairdo.

Our favourite Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf threw a Masquerade ball in which Nate came as the ‘Phantom’ and lil’ J is looking hot in her Venetian mask that compliments her golden locks. Hot inspiration, I need to watch that episode again.

Janice said her party is inspired by her favourite movie of all time, Phantom of the Opera. I’m sure the boys will turn up in their Phantom or Guy Fawkes masks. I’m excited to see the varieties that the guys will turn up with.
Talk about classy. Blue Moon is “a big centre of production of the traditional Venetian paper mache masks” located in Venice, Italy. I fell in love with the masks on their website - but of course, with excellent workmanship - it comes with a price. I am digging the idea of this Gattino mask that costs EUR$123.00! Must find a close alternative to this. Hmm.
You want drama? This Cignetta mask is going to absolutely eccentric, with its metal and Swaroswki crystals finishing.
This is quite similar to lil’ J’s mask called Catwoman. I love.

Maybe hand painted mask? I like the idea of it. What do you think?
