momsen in september

My favourite starlet of the moment is on the cover of TeenVogue September 2009. I think she's awfully talented for someone her age. She's all of 16 years old, currently starring in the series that whoever lives and dies by fashion cannot afford to miss, i.e. Gossip Girl, and I can't wait for season 3, the suspense's killin' me. Her on-screen character, not to mention fashion sense, seems increasingly geared towards her off-screen rock personality. Can't blame her as she's formed and now fronts her own band, The Pretty Reckless. I reiterate I love her style.

Did I not mention? She's Taylor Momsen.

TeenVogue did a great job in bringing out the rocker in her, while maintaining her youthfulness and feminine side, through the mixing and matching of bold accessories, printed tees and daily staples.

green with envy

These booties from Christian Lacroix's Fall Winter 2008/2009 Collection are so desirable! Subtle green shade lends a fresh vibe to the booties, while rough textures contrast between the extreme three-dimensioned ribbon and its smooth body. The overall presentation wraps up with a soft contour around the feet, adding a feminine touch to it.

Sophistication with a pinch of playfulness, I would say.

or, Alexander Wang

The Musician or the Designer? For those who know me, I'll definitely go for the former, more commonly known as Leehom. He's multi-talented, what with being a producer, singer song-writer, directs his own music videos and able to play the violin (he learnt since he was 5), piano, guitar, drums, erhu etc, and does them all in a humble manner. Yes, yes, I'm a fan. Ok, that's an understatement, I'm a HUGE fan. There, that does justice.

I know it's completely unfair to compare the two coming from totally different leagues but it tickles me to think about these famous artistes sharing the same surnames and christian names. It'll probably make more sense to compare A.W. (the latter) with Alexander McQueen. I must admit that I haven't browsed much on A.W. until today, but I constantly see his name popping up in various fashion blogs to a point that I must really take a look at his collections. I must say his ready-to-wear staples are not my cup of tea, hues too neutral in my view, but I do like some of his shoes and bags. What can I say? I'm a shoes and bags freak, I love almost anything that has to do with these. I'll have to go with Alexander McQueen for the quirkiness and interesting details in his designs.

I'm all into quirks.
