demeulemeester's sex appeal

Look Ma, no shirt, no bra! The minimalist maestro Anne Demeulemeester displayed a seductive collection for Spring 2010 loaded with moto jackets, bird prints, and long evening skirts. Hot!

tailored to perfection

One gorgeous woman + one stunning dress = perfection. Am all for the long sleeve mini dress trend. Subtle, sexy and absolutely fitting to show off your gorgeous gams.

Felt a little frisky so I donned and delivered a white leopard print tube dress with a striking orange belt for a girl's night out. Ahh, the power of this classic, exotic print that just charges you up. Makes you feel unstoppable.

Rihanna looks fierce in the new photo shot by famed photographer Ellen von Unwerth to promote her fourth album Rated R.

the artist

Picasso was in a park when a woman approached him and asked him to draw a portrait of her.

Picasso agreed and quickly sketches her. After handing the sketch to her, she is pleased with the likeness and asks how much she owed to him.

Picasso replies: "$5,000."

The woman screamed, "But it took you only five minutes."

"No, madam. It took me all my life" replied Picasso.

new moon

Back after a brief hiatus. It's been a week since I turned a year wiser. The celebration (spread over three days) included: a surprise kidnapping by the bestfriend, a rejuvenating spa retreat, rooting for Team Edward AND Team Jacob at the New Moon screening, Twilight-themed birthday dinner hosted by my favorite vampires complete with fangs on the cake (I was Bella Swan), several pairs of shoes and partying 'til 5am. Good times although I wished for nothing but love, great friends and family. So to these wonderful people, thank you for being a part of my life... you know who you are.

From the song "Friends" by Band of Skulls:

" I need love, cause only love is true. I need every wakin' hour with you, And my friends cause they're so beautiful "

streetstyle: double take

Can't describe how much I love this woman. Hanneli Mustaparta rocks in her new Maison Martin Margiela skirt that doubles as a mini, with her signature Acne shoes. Undoubtedly the queen of cool.

luxirare

It all starts with a shoe (in this case the YSL cage boots) into the thought process of making this Luxirare Chain Jacket. Some sketching here, some fitting there, a couple of hours with chains and the works, and voila. An awesome jacket to go with the shoes. This NY girl has created quite a stir in the blogging community, with her amazing style, fashion and cuisine creations that gives many industry creatives a run for their money. If only I'm blessed with such (or even a quarter of her) talent!

streetstyle: denim + chucks

Barcelona: Loving the denim and CDG PLAY Chuck Taylors combo! I was this close to get a pair, but like always, it boils down to size. Grrr.

louise goldin x topshop

Insane. And major killer. Fierce spiky bling pumps by Louise Goldin for Topshop. Kill two birds with one stone as these might just come in handy and quicker than that pepper spray in your purse.

say hi to forever

Christopher Kane for Topshop. So fierce. I picked up the grommet leggings and croc top two weeks ago. Deep down, I wanted the grommet dress just as much but they didn't have it in my size.

Daul Kim looks amazing in the preview video. RIP

friday night lights

Some of my favorite accessories from Alexander Wang Spring 2010, straight off the runway. I am going to need those zippered boots to wrestle.

bad romance

One of the most symbolic videos by Lady Gaga to date, many thinks she's signing to the Illuminati. Dark, twisted and maybe even a tad ridiculous, but an interesting read nonetheless. She is, after all a Fame Monster. Read all about the meaning behind "Bad Romance" here.

the queen in red

First noticed this amazing skull clutch here. And yes, it's Alexander McQueen. Who else could it be? Now in its full glory - in victorious satin red and luxurious brass cut-out shell of birds and flowers. At $2,375 a pop, it better be.
