emma, wat?

I have never been a fan of Harry Potter, needless to say I paid no attention to the actors and actresses in the film series. But, Emma Watson's gracing of Teen Vogue August 2009 cover definitely caught my eye, dressed in flamboyant coloured numbers with bold accessories, somehow reminding me of Christian Lacroix's style.

meet nurul

Decked out in a sheer printed top, complete with black knee-high heeled leather boots, my girl cruised the streets of Manchester, all flowy and free-spirited. With a boyish cap and sporty bag as accessories, her contrasting styles get my thumbs-up!

taylored to suit

I love Taylor Momsen's off-screen attitude in her style, the clashes that somewhat match, with a perfect crown to top it off.

Glam meets punk






Sleek and sharp


Three-quartered sleeves never looked cooler




Rocker chic

Ragged, ain't jaded

These gorgeous pictures of Blake Lively were featured in Vanity Fair during spring/summer 2008 Fashion Week in Paris.

All doll-like with layered tutu skirts

A touch of masculinity

the closets

I saw this new Heinekien TV advertisement last night even though I was told it was aired in Singapore sometime back, and I couldn't help it but laughed out loud, what creativity! Somehow, I believe the idea stems from Sex and the City, the overwhelming excitement from the boys upon seeing a closet full of their beloved green bottles mirrors that of Carrie's expression when Big finally revealed that amazing, huge walk-in closet to her, only much more exaggerated. Note: Wide-opened mouths are essential in such cases.

I am suddenly intrigued by hot pink.

bizarre affairs

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

I didn't really know what this film was about, save for the fact that it touches on some kind of love story set in the beautiful Barcelona. And boy, what a love story it was!

It is so weird that Penélope Cruz and Scarlette Johansson were in a triangle relationship with Cruz's Spanish ex-husband played by Javier Bardem. It was a 3-human love relationship which they all enjoyed being in while living together under the same roof. Cruz and señor could only be balanced and at peace if Johansson was with them. They loved each other, but they just cannot be with each other and Cruz went nuts when Johansson said she was moving out. It's quite unbelievable, but I thought Cruz looked the part and did really well as a temperamental, mood-swinging Spanish lady. She really deserves winning the Best Supporting Female for the Academy Awards.

I didn't expect to see a similar bizarre scene in Gossip Girl. Blair's dad came home for Christmas, with his boyfriend. Both of them stayed under his ex-wife's roof and spent Christmas together, in peace. This brings a whole new meaning to living together in harmony.
