Portés aux nus

÷

(Vogue Paris March 2012)

I love to look at fabulous fine jewelry editorials, especially those from Vogue Paris.  Magdalena Frackowiak makes every piece look so desirable...hum...one day...when I can stop collecting costume jewelry and start collecting fine jewelry!

London Affair

(Stella McCartney London Evening Collection 2012)

The launch of her London Evening Collection, Stella McCartney threw a black-tie bash at One Mayfair.  The guests, including Rihanna, Kate Moss and Jamie Hince, Mario Testino, Juergen Teller, the Le Bons, the Driver sisters, Stella Tennant, Bianca Jagger, and Shailene Woodley, were well seeded with models in Stella dresses!


And remember that dress Gwyneth Paltrow wore at the Grammys?  Well, that was the kind of modern black-tie evening wear Stella showcased!  And I love it all!


I can already tell that the gold metal belt-like replica at your nearest H&M very very soon!!!

The One and Only

(Vogue US March 2012)

With 6 Grammys up her sleeve and a voice like no other, Adele is a true old world beauty.  I love how the team at Vogue played up her classical and perfect symmetrical features.

The one and only Adele!

What's in my purse?

I've been using my Givenchy Obsedia bag these days.  And due to its size, I needed to switch down my wallet size from my Prada zip around to this new Carven compact.  I love the pebbly leather and briefcase lock!

So here's the breakdown inside my purse from top left:

Ever-growing set of keys - La Prairie hand cream - Kiehl's lip balm - Carven wallet - Wet naps - IPhone - Shanghai Citypass

OUTFIT DU JOUR - Spotted

I've always admired the black & white effect on photo but never got a chance to try it on my own.  Today, since I was already wearing mostly black & white, it was my chance (plus it takes focus away the not-so-fabulous background).
