noreply@blogger.com (calgraden) — Thu, 22 May 2008 02:43:00 +0000

While I am crazy about the super brand and standing in front of display window keep "eye hunting" for luxury items that I can't afford. Than in my mind will keep playing the questions...Why I am not born in rich family? Why I am can't get what I want like celebrities?...

Celebrities can buy and borrow from the most exclusive labels and the most expensive designer names, and are given more clothes than they know what to do with - but which fashion items do they really love?

Sunglasses
The retro Ray-Ban Wayfarer was given a new lease of life last year. Kate Moss, Naomi Watts and Sarah Harding have all been spotted sporting a pair - in pristine white - this spring. Ray-Ban Wayfarers in white is cost RM840. (USD258)

Handbag
So many It-Bags, so little time. no wonder celebrities are seldom seen with the same bag twice. But Anya Hindmarch's Cooper Bag breaks the rules; Naomi Watts has rarely been seen recently without the roomy, pale-leather tote on her arm. Anya Hindmarch Cooper Bag. RM4725 (USD1453)

Watches
Celebrities in their droves, from Naomi Campbell and Joss Stone to Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley, have fallen for ToyWatch, the affordable Italian brand described as 'Rolex meets Swatch'. Oprah Winfrey named it one of her favourite things: 'I loved mine so much, I wore it just about every day on my big road trip.' Toywatch from RM840. (USD258)

Shoes
From its timeless 2.55 quilted bag to its pearl necklaces, Chanel creates fabulous accessories. Right now its ballet flats are hot property. Alexa Chung has added another two-tone pair to her summer wish list, while Lily Allen wears hers with jeans or flirty dresses. Chanel ballet pump from RM1610 (USD498)

My dream bag

Women's dream bag

Envy over the latest "birkin" or "Kelly" bag by Hermes, but unaffordable to owning one? Help is at hand: rent the bag online.

Thanks to strong word-of-mouth and a healthy Internet buzz, now you can rent your dream bag by clicking "Bag Borrow or Steal" get offering thousands of brand handbags from brands such as Hermes, Bottega Veneta, Yves Saint-Laurent, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Chanel and more, each for rent by the week or the month, with an option to buy.

A Bottega Veneta number in woven leather costs 90 dollars per week or 229 dollars per month, for non-members — members receive a 30 percent discount.

Looking to make a more glamorous statement? A crocodile skin "Kelly" bag — named after the legendary actress-turned-princess Grace Kelly — by fashion pioneer Hermes will set non-members back a whopping 500 dollars per week.

So, instead of pulling a big cash buying brand bag, a much stronger value proposition is a rental for owning a week or a month than change to another luxury brand bag with comfortable price.

Well, lucky for American. I wishful someday the luxury bag rental service will get it in to this city, so I get owning my Bottega Veneta dream bag for a while by paying a litter cash.

Letter to the Queen

noreply@blogger.com (calgraden) — Sun, 18 May 2008 04:19:00 +0000

To my Queen,
Your highness. I know you been so hard act be like Queen Anna Wintour, but please think deep what you play on your mind, you just one of the queen in the million sitting on the kingdoms chair. It is a difference between you and Queen Anna Wintour that she rules the world of fashion, but fashions control you, its you what have in your kingdom now.

While peoples work with Queen Anna Wintour hate it so much on her, with her smart brain, she still strong sitting on top of fashion world. People still agree on her professional view on design and fashion senses. If you wanted act like Queen Anna Wintour, please showing your professional way on it. Sometime, diamond is expensive and in high level of the list, but not really perfect matching to all the things.

I wishful that you optionally listen my bitching and be professional next time.

Giorgio Armani attack Queen Anna Wintour

noreply@blogger.com (calgraden) — Sat, 17 May 2008 14:44:00 +0000

Queen Anna Wintour and Giorgio Armani

The fashion industry is totally filled with bitches and divas. Do you know Anna Wintour? I sure you know her very well if you are "fashion species", but if you are beyond the fashion world and really no idea who is she, please watching again "The Devil wears Prada". Yes, thanks for Lauren Weisberger sharing her stories with us about working with Anna Wintour in Vogue magazine.

Is Anna Wintour really bitch like devil? She did warning fashion designers and actors that any involvement in the "The Devil wears Prada" movie will make them invisible in the eyes of Vogue. Means that she really do bitchiest thing sometime like what Lauren Weisberger wrote in her book.

Well, not all the designer will "affair" her power. After Valentino Garavani showing on the movie. Another Italian designer Giorgio Armani set fashion tongues wagging after he criticised the industry's reigning queen Anna Wintour during the press conference on Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy, a forthcoming exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum. He mentioned a comment Wintour said "the Armani era is over". "I was told she said that, I hope that she didn't," he said.

Giorgio Armani then referred to a difference in taste, saying that "what she thinks is a beautiful dress, maybe I don't think is a beautiful dress" and touched on what he perceives as her bias towards American and French fashion designers over Italians.

My "poor" weekend

noreply@blogger.com (calgraden) — Fri, 16 May 2008 04:57:00 +0000

Weekend is coming, but is in middle of month. My budget for this month almost is getting bottom, damn! Oh man, I have to wait for another week get my pay.

I guess you will have a same situation as what I had now. Living in city is much more spending to other down town, specially hang out with friends or lover during the weekend.

I have my plan for spending my "poor" weekend before the pay day, here the detail of my plan:

Pull out all the high limit credit card and lock in drawer, just in case I can't stop my self buying somethings.

No more shopping except window shopping. Big mall like Pavillion KL, One Utama or Mid Valley Mega mall will give me a comfortable place killing my free time.

Visiting my favorite shop and enjoy my self trying all the dress in store. I love shop at Zara, Topshop and Pull and Bear, but the budget not allow me shop what I want do, so I will get try on first the loving dress and get it after the pay day.

Wong Kok at Pavillion KL

Before....

...and after, I had this for my lunch

No more fancy restaurant, bite only at good value store with nice place. First choice for me is Wong Kok Char Chan Teng restaurant at Pavillion. The shop basically serve Hong Kong style foods, some of the food are nice and place with fine decoration specially the view of KLCC during the nigh time, is really good value for my money.

After done all the "activities", to ending up my weekend, I will go for movie which use my credit card privileges for buy one ticket get one free promotion, enjoying my self for two hours in fantasy world.

Project Runway: Jay McCarroll run-a-way

noreply@blogger.com (calgraden) — Thu, 15 May 2008 03:20:00 +0000

Do you still remember the "Project Runway's" first winner and most popular contestant, Jay McCarroll? As the winner of the show's first season, McCarroll was awarded $100,000 and a mentorship from Banana Republic.

However, he turned down the money and Banana Republic mentorship after winning the competition, he didn't want to immediately jump into designing a line. Jay said that the Banana Republic mentorship wasn't useful for someone like himself who already had experience in the business.

In Spring 2007, Jay having his first collection after walk-away from the shadow of "Project Runway", which sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States, reflecting his anti-fur stance. But than, beside Jay launched an online boutique and blog at http://www.jaymccarroll.com/, its the only fashion show until now.

When the media asking Jay will he show for spring 2008? he said: "Maybe I’ll do it again, maybe I won’t. I’m still trying to sort it out. Fashion is a very limited thing, and I want to do other projects that might be different. Housewares maybe. Or children’s fashion. Or art. Or performance."

Without big support by fashion leader company, how far that Jay will get going and remain his name on this fashion industries by only sell T-shirts and bags?

When guy meet his male friends, first topic for their mind is: "Have you joining gym?, which club that you go?". Now day, metrosexual guy is here and there in this city, showing good sharp body line no more longer for women only, man does too in their gym center, swimming pool and lot of the places which able to expose their masculine.

If you just join the gym, seem lot of the buff 6-footer with six pack abs around your vision and feel sorry about your chicken-chest. Please don't feel up sad for it, skinny body now is the trend in fashion world.

That's lot of funny thing happened in fashion world. The buff 6-footer with six-pack abs masculine ideal models at runway show in year 2000 is getting less favorite by designers. In the recent fashion shows, models is downsized to chicken-chested with hollow-cheeked body.

Even shows in Milan like Dolce & Gabbana and Dsquared, where the castings traditionally ran to beefcake types, the models were leaner and less muscled, more light-bodied. Look like they have never been inside of gym.

Hedi Slimane skinny creation

The eye has changed, clothes now are tighter and tighter. Miuccia Prada, Raf Simons at Jil Sander, Hedi Slimane (was design for Dior Homme before) showing Europe men fashions which as tall body but wearing size 38 suit. So, be happy with your skinny body, If you six footer. Congratulations, you are the fashion designer most wanted!

Sex and the city

noreply@blogger.com (calgraden) — Tue, 06 May 2008 16:00:00 +0000

While I am waiting Sex and the city movie showing on cinema, the TV show star Sarah Jessica Parker has launch her fashion line named "Bitten" under Steve & Barry's, which sells more than 1,000 items at retailing outlets including dresses, jackets, T-shirts, cashmere jumpers, shoes and lingerie; which all sell for US$8.98 (around RM28.50) or less.

Cheap in the City: Sarah Jessica Parker shows off her US$ 8.98 dress with husband Matthew Broderick

Sarah Jessica Parker manifesto on the Bitten's website said: "It is every women's inalienable right to have a pulled-together stylish, confident wardrobe with money left over to live. GET BITTEN". I am totally agree what she mean it, Well, not every women only, but for man too. Now day in metrosexual generation, guys need be stylish and confident wardrobe with money left over to live too.

If you are metrosexual guy, shop for your wardrobe sometime, then you will get understand it my point. Clothes price for man is always higher than women, because the fashion's maker always thought guy is "royalty" for their wardrobe, don't follow the trends like women does.

Meaning that's why guys need to spending more than women on wardrobe, get it stylish and confident, but less money to live it on.

Madonna "Hard Candy" with Dolce & Gabbana

noreply@blogger.com (calgraden) — Mon, 05 May 2008 16:00:00 +0000

Madonna, queen of pop as an fashion icon in fashion world. Her eclectic style defined an entire generation during the 80s. Last month, Madonna has release her new album “Hard Candy”. The album cover shows fabulous Madonna fitting in a sexy garment vintage black corset creation by Dolce & Gabbana, with clad in black fingerless leather gloves and leather boots to her thighs with a peppermint colored background. I am really impressed Madonna that a women over 40, still not afraid to keep changing her style for every album.

Abercrombie & Fitch 'The Emperor's New Clothes'

noreply@blogger.com (calgraden) — Sun, 04 May 2008 16:28:00 +0000

Abercrombie & Fitch has releasing a new catalog by Bruce Weber full of sexual shots with not even clothing by teen models. But this time, it will be sold only in London and priced "like an art book" at close to $200. Socialites in London response said that's porn more than the art.

The last A&F catalog in 2003, which sold for just $6 in the US, but because of complaints about sexually suggestive photographs, company stopped making them. But the A&F stores still love the scandalous pictures.

Abercrombie & Fitch's new catalog not even clothes...

...Again, with cloths but not on body

So, is art or porn?

In February, police removed two ads with Weber's images from a Virginia Beach store and charged the manager with obscenity. The police issued the summons after Abercrombie management did not heed warnings to remove the images after some customers complained. One picture showed three shirtless young men, with one man’s upper buttocks showing. The other image was of a woman whose breast was mostly exposed.

Rice crisis

noreply@blogger.com (calgraden) — Sun, 04 May 2008 13:23:00 +0000

During the weekend, I went to supermarket had some foods supply for next week, when pass by the rice section. Damn, lot of the cheaper local rice is out of stock... its unbelievable for a country which 70% rice supply by local, 30% import from neighbour countries.

While the news said the rice shortage will not effective badly as another countries, but what I seem in supermarket is totally difference. I still can't understand why 70% of the cheaper local rice is unavailable in the store, and I have spending more to get the imported rice.

Is it local rice has really shortage of supply because the bad weather or waiting for opportunities to get better price gaining the profit? We will see.

The world of fashion designer, not just design clothes. Is also involved the image of the fashion house and the creation of runway stage for fashion show.

Cloths is apart of the runway show, but the most important for the show is the concept of the runway stage. because that's is the first place put on the new collection before sell on the store. The stage atmosphere will bring up the style of the brand too.

The fashion show always a step faster than season, while begin summer, the show already for fall and winter. That's the way for fashion business.

This year Fall/Winter show, designers again has show it their creative idea for the runway stage during the fashion show.

Number of the shows, I am personally like YSL very much. White fabric was stretched taut between the floor and the domed ceiling of the Grand Palais, creating an intimate tented environment within the cavernous space.

Chanel is my favour too. Karl Lagerfeld's merry-go-round for Chanel under the domes of the Grand Palais, swapped the horses for handbags, camellias, tweed jackets and other Chanel icons bring me back to childhood time.

Alexander McQueen called his show 'The girl who lived in a tree'. The set was inspired by environmental artist Christo. Is very outstanding show.

John Galliano working with set designer Michael Howells and producer Bureau Betak, John Galliano created a film set that saw him directing his first Galliano Films production based on the poem 'Kubla Khan' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge - gold, fountains, flowers and fruit were plentiful.

Roberto Cavalli imput his creation on the runway. The curtains of the Opera Garnier were reproduced on the walls of the tent, giving the atmosphere at the show a dream-like quality.

Frida Giannini commissioned a specially designed wall-to-wall carpet for Gucci's show venue. The bronze mirror backdrop was finished with a black griffin Gucci crest, while guests sat on benches covered in black velvet.

Gianni Versace has put the show on a spectactular oval runway was constructed within the Versace Teatro, the brand's dedicated show space designed by Rocco Magnoli of Studio Spatium, featuring a 360 degree cinema screen that projected images from counter-culture photo-collagist Tim Roeloffs, who also collaborated with Donatella Versace on a series of dresses.

By the time we walk-in the ballroom for the sale, goodness! I get shocking what happening in front of my eye. More than 500 Zara fans already fighting in 'shopping war' for their victory, cloths is here and there mess on rail or even on floor as well.

11.20am. Me and my friends still 'hurting' the leftover cloths on the rail. Unfortunately, that not much choose on sizes for small and medium size body.

11.40am. After round and round on the rails, finally I found my 'victims' which left on the corner, two pieces of Zara long sleeve shirts cost RM400 (USD127), but I paid RM120 which 70% off discounts I never get before for Zara cloths during the store sale.

11.50am. We plan leaving the "war", but the hard time is come again. Its is long line up from cashier counter until end to the corner, more than 100 people in front of my line...damn!

1.30pm. After almost two hours on line up, we get off from the 'war', save home with our with our victory. Thank god!

Cheap sale!

Leftover cloths...

This mine, that's mine too...

Who say fashion model don't go to cheap sale?

How you feel if your wife or husband post nude or stripped off for get famous and more money?

Football star David Beckham, during his trip to Brazil showed his wife remains close to his heart by wearing an new charity T-shirt by Marc Jacobs creation, which Victoria posed nude for a campaign to highlight the dangers of skin cancer.

On last year, Victoria Beckham has been confirmed as the star of Marc Jacobs's Spring-Summer 2008 Ad Campaign. That's is a perfect opportunity for her get exposed on media, to expended her 'Victoria kingdom' in US.

Perhaps, David Beckham seems have a same way to 'kit off' his self by stripped for controversial Armani underwear campaign. Will Victoria going show her heart by wearing Armani mans underwear on the media? I think that will be very funny if she really did it....

I don't want to question Mr. Beckham's manhood, but let's be honest -- the picture seem been 'makeover' by photo editors, special on his bottom part, and it looks like he shoved a tennis ball down there. I mean, seriously, Its is too over huge from the normal size...

Unfortunately this brand still not available in this city, you might need take a flight go to the most nearby cities Hong Kong or Shanghai to get it. The H&M's said the next new store after Tokyo, possibilities will be in Singapore. Sound look like even more close nearby, but I still hope someday H&M will opening on this city. We have Zara, Pull and Bear, Mango MNG, Topshop and Springfield, why not H&M?
