The Balenciaga Casette Clutch

The Balenciaga Casette Clutch (1st pic: Spring 2010) - all about the whopping big-ass studs and the buckles (although not functional and purely decorative).
A beauty to behold, the clutch mainly utilizes a magnetic closure. Once again, Balenciaga has created the perfect clutch (while the other is the Balenciaga Arena Giant Envelope).

Behind the Scenes of the Chanel Fall/Winter 2010 Ad Campaign.

The buzz - Karl Lagerfeld was spotted in the LES (Lower East Side) shooting Chanel's Fall/Winter 2010 ad campaign. Many bloggers recount their once-in-a-lifetime experience and the honor of meeting Kaiser Karl and models like Freja Beha and Abbey Lee Kershaw.

This by far the most detailed reaccountment (with tons of pictures) available. Read the full story and view the full set of pictures at The Greyest Ghost. You can view the video (featuring Wendy of Nitrolicious) of Karl working his camera, right below the pictures.

Audi Fashion Week 2010 | Singapore

"Telephone" Fashion Credits.

I've watched "Telephone" like 200 times! The video is mad wacky; both Lady Gaga and Beyoncé look adorable in it. Do check out the fashion credits for "Telephone" at Nicola Formichetti's blog.

Lady Gaga featuring Beyoncé - “Telephone”

Lesbonic Bonnie & Clyde. “Telephone” was directed by Jonas Akerlund and styling by Nicola Formichetti. And it also features Tyrese Gibson. The EPIC music video is 9 minutes long (maybe a tad too long), involving tons of product placement (Lady Gaga Heartbeats by Monster In-Ear Headphones). But I love Gaga's studded jacket by Search And Destroy and the vintage Chanel sunglasses.

2010 Oscars - Red Carpet

"Education" actress, Carey Mulligan should be awarded "The Most Typical Choice" award." As the supposed "It" actress of 2009, I had high hopes for her but her loyalty for Prada on the red carpet is starting to get a lil' boring. The Prada dress she wore for the award show is not bad, the only problem I had with it was the raised hem.

2010 Oscars - Red Carpet

Sarah Jessica Parker, another Chanel Couture contender. She chose to wear a pale canary yellow Chanel Spring 2010 Couture gown which I am trying my very best not to dislike. Well at least, this is not that huge of a disaster as compared to Diane Kruger's choice; and I do appreciate the details at the back of SJP's gown

2010 Oscars - Red Carpet

One word to describe - tragic!
One sentence to sum it all - truly disappointing!

As we all know, Diane Kruger is a regular on the red carpet, she has always been über stylish on a consistent basis. But of all nights, she chose to screw up on THE night with her Chanel Fall 2009 Couture gown which is totally unflattering; the mid-ruffles kinda make her hips look large. A devastating blow as I was really looking forward to seeing her on the red carpet.

2010 Oscars - Red Carpet

Rachel McAdams frustrates me! She had some hits but so many misses with fashion. She is like a lost lamb to me, still experimenting her sense of style. One thing for sure, I totally dislike her pink highlights circa 2007. Despite all the fashion faux pas, she has proven herself well on the red carpet for the award show. Looking ethereal in a Elie Saab Spring 2010 gown, I was reminded of her allurement circa Regina George/Mean Girls.

2010 Oscars - Red Carpet

Amidst the array of single-coloured gowns, Maggie Gyllenhaal's Dries Van Noten evening dress was a breath of fresh air. Her choice of gown was nowhere near boring as the hand painted blue brush strokes were dramatic. And I cannot stop gushing about her pink lippie! I am not a fan of all her work (except for Mona Lisa Smile) but she is definitely a risk-taker and her "2010 Oscar" look is by far one of my favourite.

2010 Oscars - Red Carpet

Miley Cyrus opted for a champagne strapless gown by Jenny Packham for the award show. I love the bustier bodice and the beadings on the gown. Not a fan of that hair and her *beaver smile but I have to admit that she looks poised and regal for her age.

2010 Oscars - Best Dressed

As what Oscar freakanoid, Rachel Zoe would say: "CAMERON KILLED IT, SHUT IT DOWN. SHE OWNS IT; I DIE."
I was utterly speechless when I first saw photos of Cameron Diaz on the red carpet. She looked flawless in her Oscar de la Renta Fall 2010 gown; her hair and makeup was impeccable.

Fashion Musing...

Foreboding black. I am in tremendous love with the clutch.

Louis Vuitton & Takashi Murakami

Shot in Miami, Daisy Lowe for Louis Vuitton & Takashi Murakami “Cosmic Blossom” Collection advertising campaign.

Leather goods, ready-to-wear and accessories will mainly come in three hues - Rose, Bleu and Violet. *Not quite a fan of Louis Vuitton. That said, I have to confess that the stacked bangles on Daisy are gorgeous. Well... the collection is very Murakami...smiley floral mortifs! The “Cosmic Blossom” Collection is slated for release at Louis Vuitton stores on April 15, 2010.
