Marc & Elodie

Adrian C of Fashion Verbatim very aptly wondered if anyone has ever questioned Marc Jacobs’ godliness.
Well, he has to be a god of some kind. If anyone other than him sports a tattoo of a cartoon character, I will think they look completely daft. But Marc Jacobs with his Spongebob Squarepants tattoo - its quirky [...]

Dior: Starting the Resort Season

With Dior unveiling its Resort 2009 collection, Resort season has officially begun! Actually, I’m still a little confused about exactly when Resort season starts…
The ethnic-inspired pieces in the Dior collection didn’t really appeal to me, but I love, love, love the full, swishy tiered skirts, which is one of the main themes.

What I don’t get [...]

May Giveaway: HOARDing the Good Stuff!

Somehow, the old has become the new new and vintage has never been hotter. While once our mothers would have frowned upon wearing someone’s old threads, we embrace pre-loved clothings. Thrifting has evolved into passionate pursuit for many, and we’re no longer afraid to get our hands dirty in search of that perfect vintage dress [...]

Mode of Freedom

In my 3rd year of university, I was in Copenhagen for around half a year on the exchange program. On paper, I was there to study politics for a semester at the University of Copenhagen, but unofficially, my main priority was to get to know the place and to have as much fun as possible. [...]

I’ve found these lovely pictures off schalling of the glorious times of Hedi Slimane for Dior Homme, and I have to share them with you. The photo is huge, so you’ll have to be slightly patient on the loading time:

I’ve also found an excellent [...]

I’ve Got My Eye on Feu

I’ve seen Limi Feu’s work featured on media, but do not really know her work. As always, I’m glad to have dug up more on the designer as it always yields surprising results. Consider me a slowpoke, but I’ve just realised that she is Yohji Yamamoto’s daughter. The ‘Feu’ in her label is French for [...]

Zoemou

As you can see from our outfit photos, I’m not exactly an accessories kind of girl. My obsession with fashion aside, on a daily basis, I’m mostly a pick-dress-pick-shoes kind of girl And that is already quite a chore on some mornings, when I stand in front of my wardrobe trying to figure out [...]

Uniqlo Again

Somehow we’d been writing so much about Uniqlo nowadays - there’s risk of an over-hype, but we shall see how they fare locally when they finally make their way to our lovely shores
The latest hoo-ha is the launch of the Alexander Wang capsule collection for the Basics Paradise.

I’ll love to wear all the [...]

Of Ponies and… Zebras?!

Fashion 156 is having their Print Issue, which is great for me because I love prints!
I was clicking through their Must Have section, I came across this dress - and fell in love!

(Emma Cook for TopShop)
What an unlikely print! While Zebra print is not new at all (I myself own a pair of [...]

Frolick with Lorick

Serena may be the leading lady of Gossip Girl, but it is Blair who has my heart where personal style is concerned. There is almost nothing I’d seen her wear on the show that I won’t kill to have for myself - and the scary thing is, I’m only exaggerating a very teensy little bit [...]
