Ready for Red Carpet?

If not, Elie Saab is going to make you ready. His couture collection is nothing but GLAM. They make me want to try on, one at a time...

My Wish List...

I have to eat my words. After I vowed to myself not to shop this month (due to the insane shopping spree in June) and I also said I hate the Monogramaflage line. This $480 Bag charm caught my eyes and I have to have it.

Love Yourself

Where is the line between "loving yourself" and "being narcissistic" ?

Love It or Hate It ?

What do you think of new LV Monogramouflage? Personally I think it's too much and little tacky. If you love the line, now they're available online. I don't know how "limited" of the "limited collection." Hurry up, get them before Louis Vuitton releases Pre-fall, Fall and Resort 2009 collections. Ha ha...

From the master of Couture collection - Christian LaCroix, it's hard for me to pick the top four to put on my blog.

The Best of PRIDE

Just got the pictures from my friend's camera. I (in red) had the most fun in a long time...I guess I was in a good company.

The Pickup Game

"The Pickup Game: A Long Afternoon In The Park" shot by Stewart Shining in the new issue of Out magazine (August 2008.) Is this a reason why Kerry Degman was in the park the other day? SOURCE

Earlier Graphite ??

According to "Louis Vuitton Addicted" blog, LV Damier Graphite will be available in mid August.

These 5 stores are New York City - 5th Avenue, San Francisco - Union Square, Paris - Champs Elysees, Hong Kong and Taipei. (Note: small leather goods will not be available til the launch date.)

Restrained and Refined

Kick off Paris Couture week with the amazing Dior Couture by John Galliano. The combination of the indelible fifties inspiration of Lisa Fonssagrives, Dior mannequin and wife of Irving Penn, and that of the new model of French conservative chic, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Those two streams of thought merged into a collection John Galliano called "fresh couture - restrained and refined."
