OBSESSION DU JOUR - Willow

Trust me...this is a first for me too!  I've never been obsess over a pair of sneakers.  But somehow, Isabel Marant's Willow high-top sneakers with concealed wedge are getting to my head!!!

Fairy Lounge

(W Korea March 2012)

When looking at this editorial from the W Korean March '12 issue, I wasn't so interested in the clothes as much as the overall styling.  To me, I can image that this is what fairies do on their downtime.  When they don't have to go around and rescue people with their fairy dust!

ARM CANDY - Reed Krakoff

(Reed Krakoff Standard python mini shoulder bag)

(Reed Krakoff Standard mini shoulder bag)

(Reed Krakoff Boxer bag)

(Reed Krakoff leather-trimmed python-print canvas tote)

You may or may not agree with me but it's been a while since my last handbag purchase (3 months = a full season = long time).  And mostly, I can't believe I didn't find anything from the sale selection after the holidays...oh well!

I got my eyes set a some spring arm candies from Reed Krakoff!  I've always loved the Boxer but the Standard mini will look really good this summer with my maxi dress.   I also like the tromp-oeil python print canvas tote...such a simple yet modern shape.

OUTFIT DU JOUR - Martin & I

I finally wore my new mongolian lamb fur vest from Maison Martin Margiela.  I hate to favour any particular one fur piece over the others but I really love the texture of this one...much fluffier than my others!!

Fur vest - Maison Martin Margiela; Tunic - Zara; Jeans - James Jeans; Belt - Miu Miu; Sandals - Zara; Bag - Givenchy

Best Dressed Nominees

(Gwyneth Paltrow)

(Michelle Williams)

(Jessica Chastain)

As much as I would like pretend that I watch the Oscars for the best picture and best leading roles, I really can't fool myself in denying that its really for the red carpet fashion!

And here are my nominees in Best Dressed category!

TGIF

It's the weekend again and I've got a busy few days ahead with relatives from Canada in town and a dear friend's birthday (on top of taking care of a toddler with runny nose)!

Here's what it looks like "behind the scene" when I'm getting ready for the day...from primer to mascara.

Happy Weekend!!!

Payless for skin

(Christian Siriano for Payless)

I really didn't think I can actually find anything I would like at Payless, but here it is...just starring back at me!  It's snake print.  It's neutral.  It has an architectural wedge heel.  And $69.99 sounds like music to my ears!

OUTFIT DU JOUR - Girl Interrupted

As I was taking a few pictures of my ODJ, my girlfriend called me!  Her flight to Sapporo was delayed...indefinitely!!!  So what does she do?  Call me from the nearest shopping mall!

So there I was, interrupted but always glad to hear a girlfriend's voice!

OBSESSION DU JOUR - Shades of Gold

(Miu Miu Culte Sunglasses)

Handmade pentagonal shaped frames with brushed gold finish.  Not sure if this qualifies as a need or want, but these sunnies MUST go back home with me.

SHOE PORN - Casadei Candy

(Casadei Spring 2012)

I love the return of pointed toe stilettos, especially in candy colours with metallic nail heel!  Now, the question is which neon shade would best suit my tan?!?

MARNI X H&M Lookbook

The sequin collars, the oversize plastic necklaces, the bold prints...the MICRO RUFFLE CULOTTE!!!  I just can't wait!
