Reasons To Wear Blue-White Stripes


Sailor stripes and all things nautical are another of Spring's hottest trends. Wear it preppy or elegant, with brass buttons or rope details, and you're all set, Ahoy!


layered like Luella

slim and trouser-chic like Emporio Armani

Oscar-ish dress like Kenzo

and sleeves, tees and other bits,
just like Jean Paul Gaultier.

Etro Spring 2006 RTW


I know we should be talking Fall now but I don't think anyone can resist looking at Etro's Spring collection again.

A magnificent riot of colours and fiery passion of florals in dramatic colours. What clever waister details - my favourite Etro detail for the season.
An absolute combination of Spring's two most favorite trends - the high waist and the dress.

Cheers to Veronica Etro!

The big night


The Oscars 2006 certainly. Mostly gowns, satin, old world glamour and a whole lot of glitzy accessories worth millions (ala Dolly Parton's), and style worth much more.

Jessica Alba's style was definitely my favourite. Wearing a gorgeous Versace dress, with H. Stern and Erica Courtney jewelry, it fitted her like second skin and enhanced her toned shoulders and arms, and of course, her tan. All these with a chignon with just the right amount of slack.


Keira Knightly in custom Vera Wang, with vintage 1960's Bulgari jewelry and a Roger Vivier clutch. Amazing in wine, which happens to be my favourite colour.

I don't care about the mixed reviews but Charlize Theron, in Dior Haute Couture with Chopard jewelry. The dress is one of the most interesting ones that night, and it is so John Galliano to do this.


Jennifer Garner in Atelier Versace, with Fred Leighton jewelry. Well-placed glitz. Something I'd always design for schoolwork.

And in every red carpet there are the unfortunates...



Naomi Watts in a Givenchy dress which looks uber unflattering at the hip, and Bahar Soomekh, in Calvin Klein which had some of Pocahontas going on. Just defined her very droopy assets.

Dump it honey.

And it was a little less glamourous night without Angelina Jolie and (and Brad Pitt yes). Both are reportedly having a time with the kids in Paris. Well though it wasn't their night, it was disppointing not to see them at all.
