wild bird


Androgynous, a little rebellious, and one sexy, cool chameleon. Definitely not just another pretty face.

the writings on her skin



With 14 tattoos to date for supermodel Freja Beha Erichsen, it's refreshing to know that much ink could be embraced by the industry. Mostly small and relatively minimalist, with pretty script such as 'this world tonight is mine' and 'this too shall pass', Freja rocks them hard and I love the fact that she is not afraid to assert her individuality. Love the one on her neck that says 'float'.

ysl parisienne masquerade



In the spirit of Halloween and YSL's new fragrance Parisienne, the Misshapes rocked the masquerade crowd (Alexandra Richards took over later in the evening) held at Angel Orensanz Foundation. One eccentric party for the Lower East Side night owls, love, love, love the bright pink against the antique setting.

Alexa Chung in a super gorgeous sky blue dress and her favorite Iosselliani skull necklace, which by the way, retails at $992. Mad, but I love the two together. Too cute!

the glass box



Spectacular gastronomic experience with extraordinary Eiffel Tower views but for a limited time only. Nomiya, a pop-up restaurant located on the roof of the Palais de Tokyo welcomes a dozen diners for lunch and dinner daily. The 18 metre-long, glass cabin structure was designed by Parisian architect Laurent Grasso as part of the Culinary Art Home project between Electrolux and the Palais de Tokyo. Not only does it feature a unique menu from chef Gilles Stassart to match each new seating, cooking classes and afternoon workshops are also made available. The restaurant will be open until July 1, 2010.

style muse: christine centenera



Christine Centenera, fashion editor and stylist for Harper's Bazaar Australia really captured my attention when she wore that super sexy Givenchy spiky studded heels during Paris Fashion Week. Her eclectic style is quite an obsession of many now: a little rock 'n' roll, playing mostly with muted colors and sick shoes. A self-confessed sucker for anything with studs, metal detailing of patent leather, preferably all three at once; I'm certain we would be best friends.

sweet november


Halloween was mad. The club was packed to its brim, people dressed up in all kinds of awesome. I went as Rihanna with the whole getup - black hooded dress, dark shades, knuckle ring, peeptoe boots. Some got it spot on, some guessed Lady Gaga, others didn't even recognize. Good times. Even better though, was to spend the next afternoon heavenly pampered from head to toe at a spa. Blissful way to start a new month. Hello November, you're my month to shine.

this is it



My favorite pieces from Costume Dept. Spring/Summer 2010. The gold sequin jacket? That tops the list. Reminds me of MJ in a way. Maybe because I'm about to watch the movie in a couple of hours. It's gonna be epic. Time to get bloated with popcorn!

the nightingale


Givenchy Nightingale. Subtle and sophisticated. So roomy, it's the perfect compliment to any outfit, any season. Available in red, navy blue, lilac and petrol.

she rocks the pale pink lipstick


When it pours, Swedish photog Hanneli Mustaparta is stylishly rainproof with a cute umbrella in Acne dress, colorful Nina Jarebrink shoes and studded Wang. Check out her blog, this girl is amazing.

let's talk about alexa


Alexa Chung for V Magazine, November (Issue #62). I heart that Stella McCartney lace jumpsuit. The sequined dress by Dolce & Gabbana is just as stunning as the lass herself. It doesn't hurt to have a Mulberry bag named after you either, no?

Sass & Bide Spring/Summer 2010. The first collection to appear on the London catwalk for Sydney-based designers Heidi Middleton and Sarah-Jane Clarke, with a troupe of Aztec-inspired goddesses, embellished to the tribal nines. Stunning!

gray's anatomy


Adidas SLVR wedge boots, with changeable rubber outsole. Extra points for the lovely shade. Bet they are super comfy. Available for $195 here.

    the golden ticket




    Katy Perry turned 25 in style with new boyfriend Russell Brand, throwing a sweet Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-themed birthday party at Sunset Beach recently. Oompa Loompas roamed, chocolates and candies were everywhere (on the walls, trees, you name it), and guests dressed in white but left the party in multi-colored paint. One wicked party!
