feeling lost amidst tulle, chiffon, taffeta and organza? here’s a little guide on the silhouettes typically applied to gowns and formal dresses.

after years and years of hanging zippers, running pantyhose, flapping soles and unraveling hems, i have learned to keep a fashion survival kit. and i’m never caught unprepared in the middle of a fashion emergency again. here are the things i keep on hand:
1. elastic bands
described as anti-”it girl”, new zealand-based label karen walker gives us high street casual with inspirations so diverse, the style can’t be boxed into any particular category. but aside from the clothes you’ve just got to get your hands on, do check out the kooky sunglasses and jewelries that are guaranteed to create statements without making you look as if you were trying too hard.
press presentation photos up! original designs by “icon” and accessories by “my precious”.
video after the jump.
jumping on the celebrity-cum-designer bandwagon is none other than the queen of pop. or should we say the offspring of the queen of pop. according to the mother, it was 13-year-old lola who designed the pieces for the junior line they recently launched.
water for elephants, the historical novel about a traveling circus set in depression-era u.s., easily one of the best novels i’ve read in my life (my very quick review here), is being adapted for the big screen as we speak. of course, if you are one of the bat-sh** crazy robert pattinson fangirls, you know this by now.
the book, written by sara gruen, itself has gained a following even before talks of a movie adaptation surfaced. but when it was confirmed some time ago that mr. edward cullen himself was playing jacob, the following increased probably ten-fold thanks to the world’s most ravenous fans.
ah yes, the fragrance department. i must say my favorite part of department stores, but for the hard-selling. pushy salespersons aside, i love hanging around fragrance counters, testing new smells until i give rise to a veritable mount everest of tester strips in my bag. scents will never lose their fascination for me.
scents are such amazing things. some can get you refreshed and make you relax. some can energize and even seduce. so what are so many women still doing waiting for special occasions to wear fragrance? any day is a perfect day to smell good!

ah, yes, the ruffled skirt trend, the one that throws us back to our childhood. thankfully, designers have updated this little girl staple with sophisticated cuts and unexpected details.
still wondering how to wear it when you’re already over 17?
