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 [...]
The Boyfriend is currently in Japan on vacation with his bachelor mates. I thought about tagging along, but I would have stuck out like a sore thumb. With Stephie still in Europe, I feel a little left behind this few days. But there’s a silver lining to every dark cloud, and in this case, it’ll [...]
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.

Recently I’d developed a crush on owls - I know they are birds of prey, but in print/accessories form, they are just incredibly cute!

Having credit cards is a relatively new thing for me. Like all of the key symbols of financial independence, I embrace it whole-heartedly. But it definitely is not doing my finances any good! Its simply too easy to hand over the card and sign on the dotted line - you just don’t feel the [...]
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. [...]
If for some unfathomable reason you do not read Susie Bubble, here’s some of the pictures of her adventure as a model for Fashion156:
GAH! Giant knits! Really gigantic knits
It is uncanny how I can imagine Susie in all of these outfits even outside of the photoshoot, on a regular, daily basis. I think [...]
After featuring that photo of Blake Lively in that gigantic Dior gown yesterday, I came across this one of Bee Shaffer at the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The dress is Nina Ricci.
These dresses bring the following questions to my mind:
1) How do you sit in a dress like this?
2) What [...]
