Chavernet Paris

Several days ago, the team behind Chavernet Paris wrote in to share their work with us. Embodying the essence of Parisian style, the general look is understated yet classy. I like these most:

I am drawn to the simplicity of these dresses, simply because they form the skeleton of outfits and are the easiest solution for [...]

Sally Jane Vintage

It’s funny how fashion personalities are going a full circle in the fashion blogosphere. You have fashion insiders - stylists, casting directors, and editors starting their own blogs, while fashion bloggers score unbelievable jobs as fashion journalists, photographers or even fashion editors.
One of the best genre of blogs belong to the vintage seller. People like [...]

Drawing Me

I don’t care what anyone says - I insist that this girl is my 2D, illustrated self!

I once read that Hello Kitty is so popular because it is infinitely versatile due to its lack of mouth *laugh* That’s why it can have a thousand looks because it can never have an expression that contradicts what [...]

Talk about Versatility

A couple of weeks back, I was brought to attention to a piece of clothing by Tweeds, our menswear writer. While I seriously lament the lack of menswear news here on Fashion Nation, I get pretty regular jolts of excitement when I read about some seriously cool items.
He showed me some photos of a Junya [...]

Acne For You?

I usually frown upon double denim outfits (known in my books as double denim disasters!), but this collection from Alber Elbaz for Acne is amazingly designed:

None of that dated, faded look of denim on cowboys, but instead fitted looks bordering on corporate. I think I can even get away with some of the darker pieces [...]

Giving Barbie a Run for her Money

Frankly, this really isn’t a breaking-news kind of post. The Lanvin + Franz Collection dolls were all over the blogosphere last year.
However, if you (like me) haven’t set eyes on them until you bought your monthly dose of Style: magazine recently, you may want to take a look.

The way I see it, if you can’t [...]

That ‘Last Piece’ Mentality

You know the scenario - walking in to a boutique you see this absolutely fabulous __________ (insert your own fashion poison: bag / pair of shoes/ dress / jacket / necklace / etc.) which you know you want. It is a fragment of your sweetest dream, and stirs an emotion in you which you never [...]

Spotted: A KILLER

Following this post, where I expressed my horror at shoes which look like torture devices, I now present to you my latest find at Praisehaven:

With these red horrors residing in a thrift shop, I can only wonder: who in the right mind would have bought these in the first place?

The Public Demand Has Been Met!

It’s going to be a good day because first thing this morning, something really fabulous happened.
Louise of streetstyle fame and the girl-crush of many a fashion blogger has started her own blog! Stephie and I are very excited. And we have to contain this because we’re at our office rats’ desks - see how hard [...]

Things to Do this Weekend

Feeling absolutely bored with cash to spend? Here are some places to pop by this weekend:
1. On Pedder Sale - starting today, up to 40% off. Christian Louboutin, Miu Miu, Repetto, and YSL are among the labels they stock, so it’s definitely worth a snoop. I remember seeing $400+ Louboutin black classic pumps last year, [...]
