Bestest TV Style: Week [13 - 17 Oct]

Sorry for the mini-hiatus. I’ve been ultra-busy (and I don’t even have classes!) with work and extra-curricular activities such as catching up with friends, writing for CNA, shopping with daddy and some reading. No Nintendo DS, I promise – in fact, I’ve to surrender it to my mum this weekend when I go back home. Malaysia, here I come! Gossip Girl returned last week with a bang! Unfortunately, 90210 and Lipstick Jungle were absent on Tuesday – I’m not sure why. But, I’m sure it had something to do with the U.S. Presidential Debate (Go Obama!). Let’s start the show shall we?

Gossip Girl S2: “New Haven Can Wait”

We hear that the boys and girls are on a field trip to Yale University. Fighting for a place in Yale can result in meeeeeeoooowwww and scratches! This has gotta be the best catfight you’ll ever witness since Valley of the Dolls. Ferocious!! Meanwhile, let’s take GG’s tip on preppy, ivy-league chic:

To be or not to be, Serena will give you the 101 if you’re applying for ivy league schools: Make sure you grabbed a sharp stripy blazer, large tote leather tote bag (for your important documents), jeans with boots (if you wanna look fierce yet creative), or a basic cashmere dress with white tights.

Blair takes a different style approach. She goes for the dark hues. Colours such as green and blue, specifically. It is important to wear knee-length skirts, if you have the legs to flaunt but not, too short – you never know if those legs can come in handy! Carry-on leather bags are a must to keep your portfolio. Blair wears Oxford pumps for the classic lady-like look. Take the cue from the missy who has prepared for this moment her entire life!

When in catfight, leave the headand at home. For the boys, take the cue from our favourite bad boy from the Upper East Side – Chuck Bass. He does have a thing for suits and bright colours. I think he looks really sharp.

Project Runway S5: Finale (Part 2)

It’s time for Bryant Park, ladies! New York Fashion Week, hello! This one of Project Runway’s first – a finale with three ladies. No men allowed! As you know, I’ve blogged about the finale show at Bryant Park awhile back. It’s funny how my favourites were from the three ladies – and my prediction was spot-on! Hurrah. It was very clever and sneaky for the producers to add three more collection to the show to misdirect us. Now, let’s see what the finalists have in-store for us:

Presenting, the winner of Project Runway Season 5: Leanne!!

She’s also my personal fave. Congrats, girl!

Korto whipped up the chrome dress in a day! She has the coolest runway music.

Kenley and her models. Too bad she didn’t win!

Bestest TV Style: Week [6 Oct - 10 Oct]

Foo-wahh! It has been one crazy week with BB in the house. Anyway, it’s time for Bestest TV Style (I’m almost sounding like a cheesy TV presenter) for Week 6 Oct to 10 Oct. Gossip Girl went on a holiday last week – leaving some of us wondering, “Why isn’t GG up yet?” but she’ll be back this week. Lipstick Jungle made me weep, just a little. 90210 ended on a high note – drama drama drama. Project Runway finalised the lucky trio to compete at Bryant Park. Let’s check out the looks, shall we?

90210: “Hollywood Forever”

Things were very exciting in the last episode. Totally redeemed the entire season to date! I want those pink booties that Naomi is wearing. Super hottt! BTW, somebody got arrested and I think somebody O.D. and possibly, died. Ooh, drama.

They’re such a cute couple! There’s something stripy that I like about her jacket.

Lipstick Jungle: “Let It Be”

The men. YUM. I’m diggin’ Victory’s new man – the Contractor. Hot.

Project Runway S5: Finale Part 1

We know that the designers have designed a bridal gown as part of their final collection. What you didn’t know, is the surprise that comes when the designers returned to NY. They’ve to design a bridesmaid dress in a day – and this determined who goes to NY Fashion Week.

Leanne’s bride and bridemaid gown. The winner, in my opinion.

For once, I actually like Kenley’s design. She’s still annoying though.

Korto’s “poo”-brown dresses. I’m sorry, I hate the colour to bits.

Jerrell goes theatrical with his concept – I don’t get it, really.

Bestest TV Style: Week [29 Sept - 3 Oct]

Update: So, BB has yet to reply my email or sms. I guess he is either busy or just couldn’t be bothered. I don’t know. Well, that’s all for now.

We’re back for another week of Bestest TV Style. The best of fashion from my favourite TV shows, of course. Let’s just say Gossip Girl totally rocked the house last week with one of the biggest episodes ever with guest appearances such as Michael Kors (reportedly a big fan of the show) and socialite Tinsley Mortimer in her second appearance in the show. Lipstick Jungle introduced a hot new guy for my favourite character, Victory Ford. Let’s hope this goes somewhere! 90210 is still the same – nothing too exciting but clothes still look good. Project Runway S5 is heading to Bryant Park very soon. This is one emotional episode and a good one too. Can’t wait for what’s in store this week!

Gossip Girl: “The Serena Also Rises”

Michael Kors and Tinsley Mortimer is in the house!

Eleanor Waldorf’s fashion show. Socialites saved the day!

Jenny Humphrey has cute dress, don’t you think? I love her BAG too!

Blair always rock the vintage-modern look. And, headbands are still ‘in’.

Serena rises again, as she’s the new Paris Hilton.

Lipstick Jungle: “Help!”

Nico’s royal purple dress looks outstanding!

PRINTS! I like.

You don’t need to look powerful in a suit.

Mummy-chic?

Imagine. Playing John Lennon.

90210: “Model Behavior”

Silver in silver. HAHA. I dig the fingerless leather gloves.

Mummy is a photog. And, she’s good.

Seriously. Do high school kids in Beverly Hills dress like that?

Stripes and bright red wedges. Sweet!

Project Runway S5: “Nature Calls”

Only four contestants left. The pressure is mounting. This week, contestants visit the Botanical Gardens and take photos of nature that will inspire their design. Here’s Jerrell’s and Kenley’s designs respectively.

Korto’s and Leanne’s. Can’t wait for Bryant Park!

Bestest TV Style: Week [22/9 - 26/9]

With the abundance of stylish TV shows, I decided to start this new “weekly” summary of the best fashion, hair, finds on my favourite TV shows. You can expect to see fabulous styles from Gossip Girl, 90210, Lipstick Jungle, Ugly Betty and etc. Here’s a quick recap of the bestest TV style for week 22/9 to 26/9:

Lipstick Jungle Season 2

The girls are back! Lipstick Jungle is back with sassier storylines, but same fabulous ladies. Season 2 started with a funeral, and three best friends chuckling away in the front row – now, that’s something you don’t see often at a funeral.

Funeral-chic. I guess black is mandatory at funerals. Make a statement with pearls or big, long, layers of necklace. Clutch-bag is easy – you don’t want to be bringing your entire ‘world’ with you.

Gossip Girl

Queen B, step aside because Queen S is taking over.

Blair’s style is impeccable. Can hockey look any hotter? Love the red bow belt.

Who’s the new girl in school? Naughty, naughty Dan Humphrey.

Headbands and navy skirts. Who loves the schoolgirl look?

90210

Annie and Ty. I’m not too hot about their chemistry but they both look good.

Silver looks tomboy chic in this all-black get up.

Kelly and Brenda look ultra-good for their age! Cute dresses.

Silver in plum-colored clothing. The beret is kinda adorable.

Naomi has awesome clothes and a pretty face. I love this jacket with the dress.

Project Runway Season 5

This has to be the most interesting, and craziest challenge of Project Runway history. Each designer has to design an outfit inspired by a musical genre for another ‘designer’. You can imagine the chaos! It’s fun to see what their interpretation of each musical genre and some didn’t even “get it”. Leanne is Hiphop on the left, and Korto is Country.

Jerrell is rock ‘n’ roll. Kenley ‘Spears’ is Pop. She looks so different!!

Suede totally stole the show with his punk impersonation!

The Best of Project Runway Season 5 Finale

As you know, I love Project Runway – and I don’t wait till the new season premieres in Singapore. I mean, Channel 5 just started showing Season 4! A little birdie told me that the finalist showcased their collections at Bryant Park at the recent New York Fashion Week. I’m not diclosing the finalists, or the number of finalists. However, I’m going to share my favourites from the grand finale. Let’s just say, I was equally disappointed and wowed by the finalists’ works. In my opinion, this season showcased alot of annoying contestants (yes, the list includes Blayne, Kenley, Suede, Daniel, Keith, etc.) – like what happened to the lovable characters like Christian Siriano or Chris March or even… the super-hot Daniel Vosovic (yes, I’m in love with him). Anyway, I’ve picked my favourite and I really really want HER to win this because she clearly has the best construction, design and taste-level. I’m a big fan.
