I’ve been ultra-busy lately. I’ve a class presentation tomorrow night (means group meeting every night after work). I’ve a looming deadline for *cough* Avril Lavigne’s The Best Damn Tour review for CNA. Sigh *screams* I’m over-stretched! On top of everything, I’ve a full-time job. Tell me, when am I available to blog? Anyway, I didn’t manage to catch the VMAs yesterday but I saw the pictures from the red carpet. I can’t wait to share! Some amazing, some… nothing to shout about:
Rihanna steals the limelight again! I mean, this girl is a hairstyle chameleon! I love it and her outfit is very superhero-like as well. Is this a winner or what??
Ohh mama! Christina Aguilera looks super hot in this black, glittery gown. Talk about a hot comeback! Lindsay Lohan is a grownup now - she looks spiffy in this shiny purple gown that is surprisingly very decent. No more slutty slutty.
Taylor Swift looks ethereal in her very ‘bling’ gold dress. It’s something about her face - she’s really pretty, in my opinion. I don’t listen to her though. Katy Perry is trying out the pinup girl look but… hmm, doesn’t this emphasise her tummy? I don’t know, it’s not really working for me. Miley Cyrus is playing it safe but chich nonetheless! Pink looks hot, and very punk which fits her image, bravo!
Haha, I like the expressions on the Ting Tings faces! Very “classy”. Ashley Tisdale looks very shiny too - why is everything blinging out this time round?
Nicky Hilton looks pretty… interesting. Haha, I need some time to diget what she’s wearing. I like Keri Hilson’s shoes but the hair and dress - a little too WTF right? I’ll pass on this. More to come!! (If I’m not lazy, or busy).

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.

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.

My first reaction when I saw this was “WOAH!” Rihanna was spotted wearing Balenciaga gladiator boots to the BET studios. At her young age, she can pull almost anything and I’m glad she didn’t go OTT with this. Remember to plan your outfit around your “key” item - and Rihanna did it with a chic black number. I love it. Balenciaga really took it to another level.
Perhaps, it all started out with the newly-crowned “Best Film Costume of All Time”, the bias-cut emerald green dress worn by Keira Knightly in the highly-acclaimed film, Atonement designed by costume designer, Jacqueline Durran. Yes, you hear me. That dress beat classic favourites such as Marilyn Monroe’s white dress from The Seven Year Itch, and Audrey Hepburn’s black Givenchy dress from Breakfast At Tiffany’s in a survey by Sky Movies and British InStyle magazine.
How did that happen? You tell me. But, Fash-E! is seeing green on the Hollywood red carpets since late 2007. We say it’s a trend to watch out, fashionistas.
If a dress looks good, it’s okay to share the spotlight. Jessica Alba and Mary J. Blige are both spotted in the emerald green strapless dress by Alexander McQueen. Both of ‘em had matching gold accessories. Very vintage-looking. I think they both look fabulous!
Beyoncé steals the thunder in a stunning emerald green fishtail dress from the Zac Posen Resort 2008 collection at Movie Rock. I hope she can breathe properly in it.
Rihanna’s sexy cleavage-baring fishtail green dress may resemble Beyonce’s - but she’s rocking it with sexy curls and Hollywood 50s glam makeup. I think she’s dazzling.
New mummy, Christina Aguilera is glowing in this velvet green dress. Who says you can’t look sexy when you’re preggers? Hollywood really set a new standard for pregnant women. Take note.
