MARNI X H&M




















As you might all know, the Marni for H&M spring collection will be available tomorrow at selected stores. I'm not planning to camp out this time but will surely pass by before going in to work to see what accessories are left, if any.

I'm really hoping for some necklaces, bracelets and that straw hat!

BEAUTY TREND - Embellished Eyebrows






(Chanel Fall 2012)

Not only is Chanel one of the most sought after and recognizable fashion brand in the world, it's also a key trend setter in the beauty industry.  Remember the black nail polish and the body tattoo stickers a few seasons back?  Well, as soon as the runway show ended, wait lists formed at every Chanel counter regardless if your sales lady knew if she was even getting the collection or not at her counter!

This fall, Karl presented his girls where strong embellished eyebrows on his runway.  Do you spot a new beauty trend this fall?

OUTFIT DU JOUR - Mirror Mirror on the Wall...










...who's the hungriest of them all???

Yes, anyone who knows me will tell you that I LOVE FOOD!  I like the smell, the taste and mostly, how satisfying it makes me feel!  And this week, it's Shanghai Restaurant Week!

I made reservations at Shook! on the Bund for lunch today.  The menu was simple: king prawn as amuse-bouche, blue crab ravioli as appetizer, duck confit or seafood laksa as main and strawberry mille-feuilles with coffee or tea...all that for ¥118/head (less than $20)!!!  And the best of all, there's no sales tax nor tips in China!  Other than the ravioli, which was slightly disappointing, everything else was super yummy!

I was also able to make reservations Fount and Table no.1 (most of the top restaurants were already fully booked), which I can't wait to try!  Now, why can't it be Shanghai Restaurant Week every week?  Oh yeah, so my stomach doesn't explode!!!

The Girl who Rocks the World









(Vogue Japan April 2012)

Aline Weber for Vogue Japan's editorial styled by Anna Dello Russo (the one that knows maximalism the best!).  Doesn't Weber looks like she just walked out of that video game?
