What’s in the bag?

by cecylia on March 6, 2010

By the time you read this post, I would have landed in Paris, the city of love and light! Yes, I am probably frolicking through tthe cobblestoned streets, indulging my eyes at the museums and drooling over the fashion, and hopefully clicking away with my camera at Parisian fashionistas.

I am away for 10 days for Paris Fashion Week. It is early Spring in Paris, quite cold. This trip I am taking a patent leather bag because it probably will rain a bit,  so I’m taking my blue Pauric Sweeney bag. In fact, I am going to view their new collection on Tuesday! Very exicited to see the new colours and styles.

In my tote, I carry some vitals which everyone else also carry: phone, iPod Touch (recently I downloaded a French learning course on it ‘je parle un peu le francais’, which aided me when I called to book our hotel in Paris), glasses, sunnies, pens, notebook, Maybelline lash stylist mascara (the only mascara I wear and swear by, it’s designed for Asians I tell you, but apparently they’ve stopped making this model! So this will be my very last mascara!), Jurlique hand cream

and sunscreen (the new bottle is a lot nicer but Google didn’t find one for me). To be honest, I’m pretty low-maintenance and I barely wear make sup, except for the mascara. Skincare is much more important to me than cosmetics so hopefully I will find some goodies from Sephora.  I only found out recently that March in Paris isn’t as warm as I hoped, so I brought along my woollen Country Road gloves as well.

I also have my Paris travel book and writing material. I’m always doodling and writing things down. The purse is my camera bag. I have all our days planned out. I’ve even marked on the map which stores we will hopefully be visiting and all the showings we will be attending for my boutique.

I hope you are all well. Please let me know if you are at Paris Fashion Week as well so we can meet up. This is a buying trip, I hope my selection satisfies my Melbournian clients. I will certainly not skimp on French food either. Really looking forward to going to Le Procope again and visiting Laduree. Macarons, here I come!

Have you heard of Jenni Kayne?

by cecylia on October 3, 2009

A while ago I came across a winter collection that was a sophisticated mix of edgy glamour, Jenni Kayne. She is relatively new to the fashion market but she is already earning a huge reputation as the next best thing on an international level. If you scroll down, you will not be surprised to see why.  My attempt to describe her clothes would be a perfect mix of  Alexander Wang (dark colours, edgy streetwear) and 3.1 Phillip Lim (classic, first-lady looks). Each look is sharp, strong and sexy. Definitely for the stylish woman unafraid to leave a lasting impression.

“Her collections show a sophistication and wearability that are the staples of classic American design. Irreverence, underscored by taste and restraint, dominates collections consistently filled with luxurious must-haves and modern yet timeless pieces. Sequins in the day, white for winter, and fur for everyday are signature concepts that exemplify the Jenni Kayne mentality.”

This look reminds me of Phillip Lim’s a bit.

I love the white door backdrop, the spotlight and attention is all on the clothes. “Ageless collections for women who live in their clothing.” This is Kayne’s vision. Her pieces can be worn and treasured from one decade to the next. Her clothes do not age and I am digging her craft.
