Today I am feeling.. INSPIRED.

i always had a feeling that OC was asian owned!! or at least i think one of them is asian. anyways...these two started off with 10G's in their pocket and another 10G's loaned by the bank..then VOILA! a nice little boutique in soho. i love how they said "we just didn't want to do any work..so we opened up a place where we and our friends can hang out and we can travel everywhere." hmm. what a great idea. thehautecommodity store?!?! only time will tell :)

OSSSSSCARS 2010! (am I late?)

Amanda Seyfried In Armani Privè ( the entire colour palette kinda reminds me of an angel.)
Sigourney Weaver In Lanvin (I suppose saying she looks good would be understated.)
Cameron Diaz In Oscar De La Renta (girly and glamorous? yessss)


Rachel MacAdams In Elie Saab Haute Couture ( I love it! An Oscar risk that paid off.)
Jennifer Lopez In Armani Privè ( I don't like her, and I don't even like the dress ON her..but the dress itself? Pretty darn awesome.)

Kate Winslet In Yves Saint Laurents (she looks elegant, stately and beautiful)

Vera Farmiga In Marchesa (The colours pretty brilliant, and the dress is a wrong that somehow works.)

Carey Mulligan In Prada (Perfection)

Zoe Saldana In Givenchy Haute Coture (the colors, the ruffles, the beaded bodice....brava brava Zoe)

Maggie Gyllenhaal In Dries Van Noten (Looks like another fashion risk that paid off to me)

Penelope Cruz In Donna Karan (Finally some color woman! I love it.)

Katherine Biglow In Yves Saint Laurent (She looks like the winner she is, yes Yves does that to people.) And though I haven't seen her movie, I am soo proud of her for her win.

Sandra Bullock In Marchesa (Sorry for all the times I've said you looked bad Sandra, and I'm sure I'll do it again...but when it was the big moment, you looked beautiful.)

not so behind-the-scenes

Mr. Viktor and Mr. Rolf decided to change things up a bit during their Fall 2010 show by styling their models ON STAGE!

Trends Popular for Spring Summer 2010

For many people, the 2010 fashion season will be one not of 'flaunt it', but of 'savour it.' Spring and Summer 2010 is a season for ownership of carefully selected fashion garments and accessories at a cost conscious price point, but where quality counts.

By all means have your garment, but do wear it. It is more important than ever to make sure that your purchase is right at the till point, as one more unworn 'brand new with tags' garment six months later, is not an option for a tightly pulled purse.

The subtle, but futuristic refinements that are emerging have given a fresh impetus to fashion styles and trends, whilst embracing the need to abandon conspicuous consumption in the subdued economy of 2009. Observe how worthy fashion elements have been given the ultimate polish by designers and manufacturers.

In the credit squeezed world of 2010 the most noticeable fashion trend is of individuals grasping the fashion essence. The zeitgeist reaction to the recession economy has been to tune into the very best fashion trends which took hold in 2008.

a very special preview

let me introduce you to some of our old friends...Roberto, John G., Versace, Gucci, and Donna. I'm not ready to post them up for sale on eBay yet...still trying to work out the kinks on how to photo these right, and I also want to try to style the pieces better. they may be a little outdated, but with the right hair, make-up, accessories, and SHOES, these babies will definitely get their second chance to shine. much much MUCH more to come.

guilty, as charged
