Crimson Necessities

by cecylia on January 2, 2010

Happy New Year everyone! Does everyone have any new year resolutions? I know we all want to be skinnier and prettier and have more shoes. Did I guess right? So I decided to start the year with an Asian tradition – red for prosperity. Red accessories transform an outfit from being good to great. Whether it is a scarlet bag, shoes or even jewelery, these accessories will become your necessities in 2010.

Alexander McQueen satin knuckle clutch- oozing with rock’n'roll glamour. Having this bag is like wearing jewelry! It wound be an impressive self-defensive weapon and you wouldn’t lose it. I like the pearly eyes of the skull.

Sam Deman red fringed suede boots- very Pocahontas-like! You may think that this is just another ‘suede boot’, but look closer: there is a cascading fringe and fringing at the heel of the boot! This boot takes luxe-boho to the next level.

Lanvin multi-strand lacquered necklace: Alber Elbaz never makes anything that I don’t love. I adore his lady-like approach to designing. He reworks the traditional classic looks with an interesting twist. Take this 3-tiered necklace -it looks like a modern heirloom! You will wow the crowd with this beauty.

Escada patent calfskin bag- a great carry-all for all ages. I like the detachable shoulder strap and the gold buckle lock. It works the functionality and Anti-It-Bag status very well. I can see Alexa Chung carrying one of these.

Valentino couture patent leather pumps. WOW! These peeptoes are the most demure and glamorous ones I’ve seen in a long time. Long live the red king. A pair of red shoes or a red dress from Valentino is a must-have as he is the man who revolutionized the LRD- the long red dress.

3.1 Phillip Lim red leather purse – edgy and practical. This is the perfect companion in a tote or just clutch it. It is large enough to fit your passport and other important luggage, so bring it with you when you fly.

Happy New Year everyone! Start the year with red!

Pretty as a Petal

A while back I wrote a post called ‘Kate, never the wall flower’, on Miss Bosworth. With summer approaching in Melbourne, I am embracing the floral trend as the bulbs are blooming. To be honest, I prefer wearing monochromatic outfits but sometimes when I feel like a perk-up, I throw on a floral dress or scarf to brighten my mood. I especially like to wear florals on sunny days. I found some gorgeous girls in floral outfits for your inspiration and enjoyment.

This is the ultimate holiday ensemble. Wild tousled hair, tick. Dark shades, tick. Gorgeous floral caftan, tick. Bright carry-all, tick, Balenciaga, optional. Bare legs with a great tan, tick and bejewelled flat sandals, tick.

This is the creator of he eponymous jewellery label: Assad Mounser. She is wearing one of her creations around her neck- gorgeous strands! I adore the ruffled shoulders and her Moschino heart bag. Certainly one with fashion flair check out her dazzling jewels at her website.

Texting pretty: I guess only a statuesque lady like her can look so chic in a long floral dress whilst sending an SMS. I adore her brown clutch and her ruched boots- who said you have to match your accessories?

This is a beautiful picture of a gorgeuos girl by Garance Dore. This girl is stunning and so is her cute outfit! Love the floral tunic, complete with a studded belt. I particualrly like thisphoto as Garance as really captured the youth and beauty this girl epitomizes, and her twirling hair shows a real sense of freedom of self-expression. I really want her shoes!

This is one look that is easy to follow- easy to pack too! Bring your favourite floral dress and throw on a tux jacket and you’ve pulled off the polished look so effortlessly. And the best thing about this ensemble is, you can change your dress and have the same blazer but you will look different each time! And yes, this is a great trans-seasonal look as the tights are optional.

The mot fashionable teenage on the planet- Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes. I posted about her belt recently and here is her full outfit. Isn’t her dress divine? It has all the primary colours in perfect combination. I love her belt (again) and her brown Prada lace-up boots. This girl just knows how to make everything work to the fullest potential.

This eclectic chic certainly caught Elle Street Chic’s attention, with her dorky glasses, denim cutoffs, gorgeous floral coat, cream YSL bag and rock-n-roll heels. 2 thumbs up for her original mix of quirky and fabulous accessories! I would love to know where she got her jacket from

Thanks for reading, start blooming today!

Why does Mommy have so many shoes?

So that's where cows go when they go to heaven

One day Mommy came home all excited. She was carrying bags filled with goodies. I thought she bought me new toys, but no, she bought herself new boots. She had a tan theme that day. She bought a pair of vintage court shoes and embossed mid-calf boots and a pair of Maison Martin Margiela boots. Alas! Mom brought out a dusty horseman. I thought it was my new toy. I nearly cracked a tooth on the bronze antique. Oh, and that’s Uncle Hermes’ tail in the picture.

The Crotch

We’re been slaves to tight pants for a few years now, I think everyone is embracing the loose, slouchy look. It is surprisingly flattering to wear these low-crotch pants. They are ultra-comfortable and very stylish when worn with cute heels. The hem of these pants just sit at your ankle so they are great for showing off some beautiful shoes. I actually wore a pair on the plane recently because they provide comfort without compromising style.

As you would have seen, designers have been pairing the harem pants with gorgeous tops and jackets. My favourite asian designer, Phillip Lim created a very hip look below. This is a photo from 3.1 Phillip Lim’s backstage gallery of Elle.com

This cool chick shows us how it is worn. I love the dark and sombre mood she has created with her ensemble and her big stompy boots. She rocks!

I would applaud her if I saw her in the streets. Aren’t those pockets just the best? Think of all the things we could fit in them. I absolutely adore her jeans. Wonder where she got them from…
