I'm serious as a heart attack


Lazy days, lounging about the sofa with my toes constantly in your face
and you know I'll scream when you try to get yours up in mine
so you don't and I love you for that


Happy heart's day y'all!

I'm seriously lusting over those shiny pink pants, like seriously.

baby gaga






Oh my cuteness! I've neer seen baby clothes this graphically out there. Quite on-trend too with the skeleton print. Which brings me to Alexander McQueen Spring 2009, one word: riveting. Check out some of the "skeletal" pieces, and I just love the idea for the models' dreamy hair. They look like they're underwater.

cute bag alert!




source: bag trends

I spotted this cute little bag on Little J in a recent episode of GG, and no I'm not gonna narrate like Gossip Girl again. :P The huge safety pin handle really makes it a stand-out, it's apparently from Bodhi bags. Zooey Deschanel was also carrying it in Yes Man, but I can't seem to find a picture of her with it. Zooey Deschanel rocked in that movie, literally and figuratively. I've always loved her, check out her quirky scooter helmet.



poor little rich girl

Effortless grungy chic is Mary-Kate Olsen. She puts together a mix of seemingly drab and lackluster pieces with ultra-luxe ones and wears them with such rock star aplomb. You'd always think she's hungover or just came from an afterparty somewhere and just decided to mindlessly throw an outfit together. Always the trendsetter, she's channeling John Lennon these days with her round tinted glasses (second photo). She makes me want to raid my grandmother's closet and never comb my hair. Who ever has time to comb ones hair these days anyway?
A cousin threw a costume party a couple of weeks ago and so I decided to dress as MK Olsen in all her bag lady glory. Not so conceptual and costume-y I know but, whatever. I just really wanted to take pictures of myself pretending I'm being chased by the paparazzi
haha! The outfit worked pretty well for the chilly weather we've been having though. I've been busy lately and I haven't blogged in a while, but big thanks to those who posted comments! :)

Wearing Terranova long chunky knit cardigan, white top from Topshop, old black pashmina, gray vest with fringe scarf, black Aldo boots, Mango shades, tights and rings from Divisoria.

S spotted

Spotted: Landing on worst-dressed lists everywhere for the recent Golden Globe awards, GG's Blake Lively wearing a (too)tight-fitting beaded satin gown with a thigh-high slit. Very tacky beauty pageant contestant of her, and she even forgot to do her hair. Looks like S needs a little advice on how to pull off a red carpet dress.



On the other hand, I just have to say that Eva Mendes looked so glamorous. I love the turquoise neckpiece she wore with the white Dior dress. I remember Cameron Diaz also wore turquoise jewelry paired with a Dior gown as well in a red carpet moment in 2007. If I'm not mistaken, they're both clients of Rachel Zoe's. Blake could've used something a little more fun like these looks.

Luella Love



tank top from a bazaar, thrifted tiered skirt, Melissa wedge shoes

I was feelin' a little girly the other night when I met some friends for drinks. I'm a big fan of accessorizing but that night I just left my thrifted tiered skirt do all the talking, I actually just altered the waistband so it'll be high-waist. Despite the lovely chilly weather which tempted me to go for a cold weather-ish outfit that we rarely get to sport around here, I still went for the tank and skirt and just brought a cardigan along.



This skirt reminds me of some dresses from Luella's spring 08 collection, which seems to be stamped in my head. I've always loved Luella Bartley's street-chic stuff probably because of the Betsey Johnson in me, it's always pretty with a little punk.





Her spring 09 collection is just as fab, featuring some ruffled short dresses as well but with a little play on asymmetry and pops of color all over. The shoes and accessories in this collection are all so cute especially the head bows with the net. Hmm... I see a DIY project coming.
