More beautiful maxis to add on to the previous post. LOVE the colour combination of the second dress by Haider Ackermann.

Peter Pilotto Dress from Spring 2009 RTW Collection.

Haven't done a FRTS post in awhile so here's one! Same dress but styled and worn two totally different ways. The thing I love about street style so much is seeing how each individual wear outfits according to their personal style. Some embrace colours, others prefer the monochromes. Some love accessorising, others not so much. In this case, I'll go for the street style look over the runway look. Love the skinny belt over the cardi look. The print on the dress is amazing btw, check it out here.

Alexander McQueen Dresses (with the equally amazing shoes!) from Spring 2010 RTW Collection.

First spotted in Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' MTV shortly after the collection was shown at Paris Fashion Week last year, the amazing pieces from McQueen's Spring 2010 collection have since been spotted on celebrities and one Singaporean fashionista.

Camilla Belle in a gorgeous piece which Karlie Kloss wore during the runway show. Not exactly familiar with her to be honset, I remember reading that she used to date a Jonas brother. Yup, I remember tabloid nonsense.

Daphne Guinness in another dress with the amazing jewelled neckline from the collection. She's also wearing the towering Armadillo shoe which was one of the most talked about footwear for the Spring 2010 collections. Something different though was that she styled the outfit with the huge silver metal gladiator-ish belt. I personally liked the original look without the belt more. What do you think?

Oh! Look who I spotted?? For those of you not living in Singapore, you might not be familiar with her. Dr Georgia Lee is a famous aesthetic doctor here in Singapore and also somewhat of a fashionista. Last year at the Audi Fashion Festival, she had her own show where she walked the runway with an entourage of male models. This year at the AFF, she was spotted wearing the latest designer pieces at all the major shows. Here, she is photographed at Milan Mens Fashion Week wearing a McQueen printed dress paired with leggings. Random nugget, I read somewhere that she once bought a pair of Balenciaga leggings for 10k or more? As much as I <3 Balenciaga, it's kinda crazy IMHO.

Josh Goot Speckled-Pattern Dress from Fall 2009 RTW Collection.

I've been seeing quite abit of Christine Centenera, Fashion Editor of Harper's Bazaar Australia in street style blogs. Spotted her in some Josh Goot pieces, this is just one of them. Randomly, I decided to google her name just to make sure I got the spelling correct and I came across a thread on her in tfs and found out she's actually dating Josh Goot? Very random I know. Haha..

Found this image I saved awhile back. I know it isn't exactly taken on the street, but I like the dress, I like the shoes (it's Burberry btw). This is from Grazia Australia (Dec 2009) I believe. The model is Whitney Port from The City. I like her too.

I love the Proenza Schouler PS1 bag in this outfit. It actually reminds me alittle of the Mulberry Alexa bag which I also like. Kinda coveting it but the Alexander Wang Rocco Mini Duffel (updated version of the Coco Duffel which now comes with shoulder straps!) currently remains on top of the list.

p/s: Lost my internet connection for a couple of days over the weekend but it's now fixed. Once again, thanks for the comments!=) Will get back to you guys soon!

The Cut-Outs

(Vanessa Jackman)

Her jacket with the interesting sleeve cut-outs was the piece that caught my attention in this pic. Turns out, it's from Dion Lee (whom I posted about here), the emerging Aussie talent who got everyone excited with his latest collection shown at the RAFW just last month. I'm on the lookout for a well-cut fitted blazer/jacket, preferably long and with REAL pockets (not just faux pockets with flaps). Been procrastinating about sewing one for myself for the longest time. Anyway, loving maxi dresses at the moment as well. Got one from F21 maybe couple weeks back that still requires some altering to the length if I don't wish to be sweeping floors/roads or tripping over myself wherever I go. Also, I've always wanted to do the messy 'bun on top of your head' kinda look. Not much success I must say. Need slightly longer and more hair! All I can achieve now is a little messy knot=/. Well, at least I can do messy braids. Haha..

Eley Kishimoto Printed Dress from Fall 2009 RTW Collection

The 3-tier rounded lapel is such a quirky change from the usual shawl and tailored collars common in jackets and coats. Also, did you notice the similar print as the dress on the leggings? It can totally be a standout piece paired with a monochrome outfit.

The Inspired Piece

My friend, Nel took this photo when she went to watch Elva Hsiao's NYE concert in Taipei. Similar much? I thought it was done rather nicely though. Kinda liking her whole look. Elva's stylist made the outfit for her, no doubt very much inspired by the V&R piece.  I really loved Viktor & Rolf Spring 2010 collection and hope that/can't wait to see some of the pieces being shot for editorials. 

Yesterday (technically, since it's already past 12), was my lovely friend, M's ROM ceremony. Congrats babe! In short, the weather was a killer (we actually considered jumping into the pool just beside the reception area), but the food was great, oh and the groom left quite some tears among those who were present. Took some photos which I'll probably share in another post after asking for permission.

Also, I'll be away for a few days which means practically no internet access, so no new blog posts til I'm back. Have a great week ahead!=)
