Got this from Red Carpet Fashion Awards. Serena is reverting back to her old ways and becoming a paparazzi magnet?

Material Girl

This is the dress I REALLY want but can’t afford. (It’s not that expensive, just out of my price range currently!)

These are the dresses I REALLY want but cannot bear to spend the money.

Losing Weight

leave a comment »

I’ve recently tried to diet (yes, that damned word!) as I gained a considerably amount of weight when I joined the workforce. The inactivity, drinkings, binging and always justifying comfort food made me a hefty girl. I am not those lucky few who can eat anything, don’t exercise and not put on weight. Well, I was fine with the extra weight I put on, my boyfriend wasn’t and so was others. Someone called me a “lump of flabs”, “plump  and chubby” (bitch!) ; it is also not easy being friends who are all skinny and hot.

Well,  my weight is permanently fixed at 57 kg and I can go no lower, only more. BOOHOO! So, my aim was to just lose the extra I gained. I think with all dieting, it has to be a healthy balance of exercising and controlling your food intake. I’m not a nutritionist, I believe in enjoying my food and I tend to gorge myself silly at times. But for the sake of fitting into my clothes, I have to watch what I eat. I am a strong believer of exercising too, I cannot stress this enough. I don’t believe in starvation.

So, I’m back to my pre-work weight of 57 now, lost a couple of kilos in the past month! Was gonna write on what I did, without suffering or beating myself up, but wasn’t sure if it was right.I mean, I’m no Gisele or some skinny model but I do truly enjoy my healthier lifestyle.

Probably will write on a easy, foolproof salad recipe and the most effective way to lose weight from jogging.

Anna Wintour on Letterman

leave a comment »

Anna Wintour is absolutely amazing, I’m in love with her. She has this icy-queen reputation and describes herself as…. “lukewarm royalty from outerspace”. She’s funny, sweet and very inspiring.

“I’m very decisive and I try to give very clear decisions for the people I am working with. So sometimes, they’re not getting the answers they’re looking for.”

Can’t wait for the September issue!

Dream wedding

with 2 comments

This is my dream wedding, it’s perfect! By the sea, casual, relaxed and small. SMALL! I don’t want my wedding to be a circus or a reunion. I want it to be intimate and sweet, probably just 30-50 people? How about you? How will you want your wedding to be?

80s rewind

So on-trend, so 80s, so trashy-chic. So… perfect. (if you’re tall, skinny and has almost zero body fat)

Perfect Work Dress

leave a comment »

After Michelle Obama wore his dress to the Inauguration Ceremony, Jason Wu’s fame has catapulted. His designs are very Park Avenue princess with a touch of modern extra.

Now, now, if money grows on tree, I’ll wear this dress every week to work!

Fash-Off : Diane VS Alexa

with 2 comments

As much as I adore Alexa’s non-conventional beauty and chic-grandma dressing, I love Diane and she totally owns every look she steps out with. Diane has amazing style, both on and off the red carpets.

Who rocks your boat more? Diane or Alexa?

Yesterday, I saw 2 Ah-Lians* and they were very noisy. But guess what takes the cake? THEIR NAMES!

One was CHANEL, the other was… PRADA!

HAHAHAHA.

Some interesting links:

I do. Precisely why I want this Stella McCartney Stretch lace-paneled dress! Isn’t it just amazing?

Gossip Girl

leave a comment »

Gossip Girl 3 premieres on September 14. Wooohooo! I can’t wait, I’m a hardcore fan. Don’t really like their new promo pics. Serena looks like a (rich) hooker, what’s with her and her twins always showing? I mean, she’s bloody leggy damnit. And I’m really hating Little J. She’s annoying and has irritating style. B’s gonna change her Park Avenue look a little, which is disappointing but I’m still looking forward to ogling at her outfits. Vanessa seems like she tries too hard, although the effect is supposedly opposite, no?

Who’s your favourite?

Child Stars.

leave a comment »

I love young stars which grow up well and pity those that became train-wrecks and pathetic nymphos. (Lilo, Vanessa Hudgens, are you two listening?)

Some young actresses have talents (although arguable) but they grow up well and become fashion icons. My 2 favourites currently are Emma Watson and Dakota Fanning. C’mon, who doesn’t love how Emma transformed to the most promising thing in the Fashion world? Dakota was a scary kid who oozes so much talent but she is growing up to be a fine young lady.

But now, let’s focus on Emma’s recent shoot. Breathtaking! I love the exaggerated headpiece, the bold shoulders and poufy skirts and how she’s not trying too hard.
