Straight off the runway: Eva Mendes

The Women actress was the ultimate lady in red as shes posed for the cameras at Macy's 150th birthday gala at Gotham Hall on Tuesday in New York City. I cannot begin to say how gorgeous Mendes looks in red, she should wear it more as she usually opts for neutral colours. On this occassion Mendes donned a beautiful satin Michael Kors frock which she accessoried with a pair of dusty pink pumps and silver clutch.



Unfortunately Eva's dress is available at online boutiques, however, Kors smaller label, MICHAEL Michael Kors, has produced a similar version at a more affordable price:

MICHAEL Michael Kors Belted Sheath Dress $159.50

Amazon is a dangerous, dangerous site

Today at work I started browsing Amazon to get Christmas gift ideas. Naturally I found books and dvds that I wanted to get for myself so I started picking out a bunch of stuff and added them to my cart. When I checked on my cart I realized that I had picked out 17 items, most of them books about fashion. What can I say? I'm obsessed. Since I knew it would be hazardous to spend several hundred dollars when I have unpaid credit card bills, I emptied said cart, and bought one book: Influence by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

There's been a lot of press around this book, especially today when both twins did a bunch of interviews and a book signing (the one with the list of peculiar rules. ) I had no intention of buying the book until the media flooded me with images of the twins and my stupid brain fell for their marketing scheme.

But if you can believe bloggers, the book is supposed to be really good. The twins don't talk about themselves (a relief because I am thoroughly sick of them now) instead it talks about, duh, their influences. They talk to Chanel master Karl Lagerfeld, actress Lauren Hutton, John Galliano, Diane von Furstenberg and more fashionable people. These are people who I admire greatly and so I'm excited to see what they talk about to MK and Ashley, who, like it or not, are fashion icons.

I was never a fan of MK's boho bag lady look but she inspired a whole new movement who will now only wear sack dresses that look like they came from the attic, bug sunglasses, unkempt hair and gladiator sandals. That look defines our time. Well maybe not anymore, but it did.
I loved it when the sisters were photographed at the Chanel show last season decked out in head-to-toe Chanel. They were so glamourous.
And the fact is they are influential. Everything they wear gets copied. It's undeniable.



Here is Ashley's interview on Good Morning America.

Id that dress: Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad channels her inner Holly Golightly as she attends the Hope Honors hosted by the Avon Foundation at Cipriani 42nd Street on Tuesday in New York City. The Hope Honors outstanding leaders “who provide hope, support, help, and healing, in the fight against breast cancer and domestic violence” - with the annual event raising over $15.6 million since its inception in 2001. The necklace pictured on Conrad is apart of the foundation where all proceeds of the necklace made are contributed to 9 different charities aiding the cause.

Conrad wears a LBD by Diane Von Furstenberg. It's a shame that she didn't pose for a picture of the back of the dress, as that is were most of the excitement is. Cascading vertically across the back are rows of cute little bows.

The lovely Rachel Bilson was spotted on her way to do some grocery shopping at Gelson’s Market in Hollywood with boyfriend Hayden Christensen on Sunday.

SHE'S BACK

Found the red booth :)

I don't even know where to start; I feel so behind. I can't wait to catch up on all the lovely blog on my roll. I had a blast in London even though the flu/food bug caught up with me. Am still trying to recover. I have my good moment and not so good moment of feeling sick. Right now, I am having my good moment, so I decide to let you all know am BACK--I might not be totally back on full force because of being sick and exhausted, but do bear with me.

Hope your weekend went well and the week is going great. I enjoyed London. London is so much different from America. Each time we got in the car, it felt weird because they drive on the right hand--pretty interesting!!! May be because of the right side driving, it always felt like the drivers where driving too close to each other :)

Now the most fun part, apart from visiting different families, friends, & relatives, I felt like I was in heaven when I went to oxford street for some shopping therapy. I felt like a kid in candyland except I can't have all the candies. To name a few, I went to Selfridges, NEXT, H&M, but the one that they had to drag me out of was TOPSHOP--gosh! I can't wait for that store to hit the states--hopefully I won't go backrupt :)

For now, I have to end my long story because I am feeling a bit tired--I will try and get some rest and hopefully get my grove back before the end of the week.

THANKS for all the safe journey wishes, the sweet comments, and questions. I will try and get back to all questions. If you still want to ask me any question, please ask away :)

First night in London: exhauted from flight, but still had the energy to stop by for food :)

the beginning of my long day tour ;-)




Love the 'vintage' buildings :)

too shy to get close :)

Strike a pose :)

L'Oreal Fashion Week: RUDSAK

I already stated that Morales was my favourite show of the week, but RUDSAK came in second with gorgeous leather jackets, pants, to-die-for bags and the hottest male model I've ever seen.
My co-worker whispered to me after the first couple of looks came out, "This is so you." And it really was. Short and tight leather bomber jackets in black, brown and best of all, coral; super short leather shorts; colourful scarves were wrapped tightly around the neck; white and black leather skinny pants; belts with large, shiny silver plaques; classic white blouses; mini vests; fingerless leather gloves and leather fedoras. It was all very rock n' roll and all-out sexy. Definitely my style.

And the bags. My favourite was a leather coral handbag which looked so buttery soft I wanted to take it from the model right there. The designs were so simple and classic. White shoulder bags with outside pockets and adjustable straps; black leather clutches with ruching in the middle; satchel bags that could also double for handbags; and for men, large carry-on and travel bags and beautiful side-bags.

My other favourite part of the show had nothing to do with clothes or accessories: a gorgeous male model who smirked his way down the runway had all the girls (and guys, including Project Runway Canada winner Evan Biddell,) swooning in their seats. He had blue bedroom eyes, perfectly chiseled cheekbones and a swagger to knock us off our seat. Hot.

My camera was dying at this point so I'll put up CP photos instead.
