WHY SHOULD WOMEN HAVE ALL THE FUN?

But, would you let your man wear leggings like you?

Nothing is impossible, especially in the fashion world. Maybe inspired by Robin Hood, the men in tights himself or simply by us, women, male leggings (meggings) are excepted to follow the skinny jeans trend for men.

In UK, retailers like Uniqlo and Selfridges are already selling meggings. Even Givenchy (see pictures above) have them. 

Based on my own experience, I believe they are more comfortable than skinny jeans. But  are the men confident enough to slip these on? Or do you think that meggings are supposed to be worn only by ballet dancers, runway models and celebs like Russell Brand?

Louis Vuitton Heels to be exact.

2 PRINT DRESSES FOR 2 NYE’S PARTY

We’re counting down to 2013 as I blog, have you decided what to wear?

It’s important to decide what you’ll be wearing, literally from head to toe for the New Year Eve’s Party. Here, I recommend a few styling tips to pick the right print dress & accessories for two NYE’s occasions. Either you’re hanging out with friends or spending it with your big family, you’ll look stylish and most importantly, comfortable.

 PARTY WITH FRIENDS?

–  Free your mind and pick a much more fun print dress for partying with your pals. Go shorter in sleeves or hem. It’s all about having fun.

–  Same trick goes to accessories. Pick a long dangling gold earrings if you must, and get ready to shine. Stay away from bracelets, because they’ll get in a way while you’re partying. Trust me.

–   Choose a smaller sling bag that will fit any important thing you need for the night, because you don’t want to party and clutching your bag all night.

–   Ankle booties are the right walking companion for this occasion. They just look more hip and fun.

 

PARTY WITH BIG FAMILY?

–  Stay classic. Choose smaller print for the dress and don’t go too mini. You don’t want your brother in-laws to stare, right?

–  Stick to simple accessories with a ‘wow’ factor. A Chanel earrings will do that.

–  Bring your simple clutch as well. You need something to hold on to when you’re in awkward family situation. LOL.

–  Why bother using stilettos? But don’t just use any flats. Opt for leather instead of canvas with an extra style which will give you that stylish boost. 

WHAT TO DITCH & WHAT TO BUY 2013 – FASHION

Please wake me up when 2012 trend ends. 

Here are some inspiration for what you should be having first before the year (finally) ends. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you.

1. To ditch : Polkadots – it might be a classic print but come on. Please move on.
    To buy : Stripes – from Jason Wu to Burberry, be prepare for stripes attack.

2. To ditch : Mullets – never dig the trend in the first place, I’m glad it’s over.
    To buy : Asymmetrical hem – particularly on shoulders & collars.

3. To ditch : Tangerine Orange – bye bye Pantone color of 2012.
    To buy : Emerald – hello Pantone color of 2013.

4. To ditch : Cut outs – only those who dare wore them, so why bother?
    To buy : Cut outs collar – it looks more sophisticated anyway.

5. To ditch : Wedges – sad to hear, right?
    To buy : Kitten heels – not as killing as stilettos, with a lady like effect. Perfect! 

STILL THERE IN 2013

Will the world still be there in 2013? Another calendar finish?

One thing for sure in the fashion world, prints will still exist in 2013…on pants. So printed pants lovers, indulge.

Check out the Pre-Fall 2013 collection above, from digital prints at 3.1 Phillip Lim, ethnic prints at Tory Burch to houndstooth prints at Carolina Herrera. 

WHEN FASHION & BEAUTY COLLIDE

Only 100 pieces available, ladies!

This is a cute collaboration minaudièr by Olympia Le-Tan and Lancome. If Olympia’s name rings a bell for you, it’s because this French designer is famous for her minaudièrs that feature classic book covers. Yup, she’s inspired by the world of literature and old hand-stitched books. 

For this minaudièr that took 18 hours to make (each), Olympia also personally chosen 12 of her favorite shades from Lancome’s Rouge in Love lipstick and Vernis in Love nail polish which will be placed inside the minaudièr. Instead of having gold finish clasp and side like her other designs, Olympia used silver for this imaginary novel. Perfect for a mirror replacement for a quick touch up on the go. 

The US$1000 minaudièr will be available through Lancome’s website starting February 1, 2013.

ARE YOU IN A SCRUNCHIE MOOD?

Fashionably spotted in Vivienne Westwood Red Label Spring Summer 2013 catwalk, loved by none other Hillary Clinton, and now Cara Delevingne star in the campaign for a hair scrunchie’s company? Oh well…

The new east London-based accessories label, My Crazy Scrunchie (MCS for short) is bringing back the famous hair accessory circa 1980s which featured Cara as one of the model. The duo behind this label, Laura Fraser and Eu Simo Grijalbo are the one who’s also responsible for Vivienne’s Red Label SS 2013 scrunchies.

FYI, the original scrunchie was invented by Philip E. Meyers for a family called “Scrunci” in 1963 as a practical hair accessory. As any (read: most) fashion items, it evolved from time to time, loved back in the days, noted as a notoriously bad-taste accessory, and now…it’s back on trend track! But the big question is: will you wear them again? (Thank God I have short hair).

MY “KOOL” PICKS OF THE DAY

Being one of the lucky Fimelahood girls, I was invited to Dorothy Perkins’s store in Central Park Mall, Jakarta, Indonesia today to see and pick my favorite Kardashian Kollection fashion items.

Thanks to Fimela.com, the lucky Fimelahood girls can have a sneak peek to the ever famous Kardashian Kollection before Dorothy Perkins Indonesia launched the whole Kollection (with the ‘K’, people!) for public on December 6, 2012. I had fun at this “Dress Up Day”, as I got the chance to pick the complete look (minus the shoes and belt). 

As you might already knew, Dorothy Perkins collaborated with the trio K (Kim, Kourtney and Khloe) for this Kollection that truly reflect their personal style. So, expect lots of leopard prints, body con dress, blazer, skinnies, sequins with options like drape dresses, laces and watercolor print. Not too mention, their bags Kollection featured quilted totes, glitter clutches and miniaudiere. 

If you think it sounds too glam for your everyday’s staples, as we might not walk on the red carpet every night, wait until you check out my personal pick from the Kardashian Kollection. I really think that being a mother of two, really connected me in the fashion universe kind of thing, with….Kourtney. I love how Kourtney black skinny jeans really fitted my body and legs so well, unlike other skinnies that tend to be too tight and uncomfortable at the crotch area (ouch). I also chose the black bucket bag with gold studs, just like the one she’s holding on the look book. 

I called my look “Klashing the Prints” (again, with the ‘K’, people!), cause I did mix a sheer printed pussybow blouse with a watercolor print blazer. Finishing the whole look with a Dorothy Perkins gold chain belt and a pair of Dorothy Perkins black pumps, I really do think that every cool urban girl or mom (in my case, ehm) can look so on-trend with this Kollection (which will be in store right here in Jakarta from December 6, 2012). FYI, Dorothy Perkins will have a special launch party event at the exact date, so stay tune to see me in a whole new look by Kardashian Kollection, as I’m already thinking about the outfits to attend the ‘Kool’ Party.

So, mark your calendars and go to my facebook fan page to see some more of the pieces I saw today.
