Dressing Down

DEMANDS from Generation Y to dress down at the office are making casual clothes the norm in many Sydney workplaces. Employees in the IT, consumer goods, creative, telecommunications and the corporate sector are leading the charge in looking sharp without the suit. Myer has seen a 15 per cent growth in sales of chinos and "double digit" increases in the sales of men's casual work shirts. Recruitment company Hays regional director Carolyn Dickason said a decline in the amount of face-to-face meetings was behind much of the change. "There is...

Pink Pump

ELLE FANNING With Thanksgiving just days away, it's the perfect time for Elle to indulge her Pilgrim garb obsession, this time pairing pink buckled pumps with a high-necked dress for an N.Y.C. screening of her film Ginger and Rosa. Her other shoes garnered lots of attention - but I reckon, at her age she is making her own mark in fashion. Celebs are known for many things anyway - is there one about using air pot? I like her style though....

Yellow

KRISTEN STEWART After two consecutive Twilight looks that were sheer madness, the star picks a Dior dress that's attention-getting in a very different way and pairs it with Barbara Bui pumps for the movie's Madrid premiere. I reckon yellow is not always a great choice for a dress but this one hit the note, for me anyway. I have always admired her style, she has her own. The shoes area also standouts. Her not carrying any clutch add to...

DRESSED TO IMPRESS Skin is in for a sultry Miranda Kerr, who shows off her supermodel figure while celebrating W Magazine's 40th anniversary at New York's Gramercy Park Hotel on Thursday night. people.com I am a silent fan (silent no more) of Miranda Kerr. She's very stylish and in this, classic. I reckon, she'll look good whatever she wear including holding a personalized tumbler here. ***** It's All About What's In Down Under | Permanence...

Any Green Things

The article in people.com is about her eyelashes but what really caught my attention are her earrings.  The contrast of orange lips and green earring is remarkable, well for a person who can't decide what her favourite colour is - green or powder blue.   This girl is always donning something sweet - no rough around the edges style.  She must be sticking to her country image.  Is that where a  wine maker excels?   ***** It's...

Just Simple Please

Frankly, I am not into lace and frills.  I just find them too cumbersome.  I like structure and simplicity.  No fuss.  I'm sure that's not much to ask but these days, it is hard to shop just like that.  The shops are sprawled with stylish clothes that I can't relate to.  If I have to, I can done stuff like the north face clearance items - when it's cold that is.    You Are Classically Fashionable When...

Dotted Pants

I always admire her style in bags, shoes and clothes.  Simple yet elegant.  And these pants are something that I actually want to own.  Oh, don't forget the lipstick.  It stands out like revolving rotary blades in the middle of stock still blades.   Don't mention the structured bags as well, big fan of structured bags that I am.   RIGHT ANGLE Cheers!

Flatform Shoes

I now own at least 3 pairs of platform shoes. I so like them, they are very comfy. Not because they are flatform but of course, I am not into comform shoes with style. But I don't opt for bulky platform - no thanks. I am more into my size of course. And despite not having so many shoes shops around our area, I still get to see stylish ones and my favourite shops have always specials. I wonder if they have Asolo TPS boots? I am on the look...

Busy Bee

I am not so into fashion and I can not play a good fashion police but I have noticed recently that her outfit is always wrinkled. Maybe, it's just the style of the clothes that she likes to wear but they look chaotic to me. Maybe, her hair has something to do with it too - just a bit unruly. Or maybe, I am just more inclined into simple, straight and easy - more of a activa compression stockings sometimes. But it's just me. ALTERNATIVE...

Barrel Bag

I am into structured and hold-all bag and this just meet those standards. It's not so structured as there are no compartments but just enough space to get my essentials plus my lunch and snacks.

One of my everyday basics, for sure. ***** It's All About What's In Down Under | Permanence in Change | I Am A Shoeaholic | A Juggling Act | Healthy Living...

Tan & Pointy

I love these pair, really. Tan, check. Sexy and simple style, check. Pointy, no likie. Reasons? Those pointy ends get scuffed pretty quickly. I have learned from experience. Plus they make my feet look bigger and longer - they're already big enough. But maybe for casual wear, they will definitely go down that path - no need to use t bolts to me get it.

Polka Dot

Hey, really can I borrow it sometimes? I already own white pants and I do have polka dots top. This gives me an inspiration for that outfit.

These floral capris are event stealer, I reckon. But the top and shoes really are good match to the pants. Katy Perry has really excellent taste but makes you wonder if she owns a sm58.

Down Low

This "world-class mum" is a class of her own. She does not don her celeb status when she's with her cuties. How I admire her. They seem to be always happy despite the paps hounding them. I suppose, if that is the only thing to be worried about - it's the least (lesser than finding cheap appliance parts). As a fan, I am quite glad what I see and read about this family. AWAY WHEE GO!

24/SG

I have not seen any of her concert but as a fan (silent, that is), I am updated as to her whereabouts. This is one of SG's customes in her 24/SG concert that was last night - it's first night. The second one is on the 21st of July. Based on the photos and the videos that I have seen online so far, it was magnificent. As read, her custome was worth 6MPesos- 4 changes. Why? There were glittered with crystals (I wonder if one can get the same...

Yellow Flats

YELLOW FLATS Happy feet are yours in an instant with a pair of pretty ballet shoes in this sunny shade. And they're surprisingly versatile – try them with a navy top and cognac bag (Taylor Swift's is Patricia Nash) for a preppy look, or wear with a dress in a contrasting bright to make a summery statement. These are just what we need down under in a gloomy weekend. It is a long weekend but it doesn't look good at all. Planning on that garden...

Pretty in Pink

ALDO PUMPS You can't trust the B— in Apartment 23, but you can trust Krysten Ritter to find a good deal. Here, she mixes high and low in the form of a designer Sportmax dress and $59.90 Aldo "Fravel" heels in an eye-catching fuchsia hue. Not all the things that celebs wear are exy - just like these pretty pair. But I reckon, these are just to be worn once that durability is not what one should pay for almost 60 bucks.

Round and Round

I am definitely not talking about her figure. I like a well rounded woman. I am talking of her sunnies and the earrings. I have taken fancy on round earrings but I don't have the courage to talk myself into wearing them.

Best Outfit

I reckon, the best outfit one can wear is her smile. It's free too. But of course, it has to be sincere and true and that's a big feat if one is unsure, not confident and not happy.
