Beautiful Blues and Oranges Dominate Milly for Spring

Bold colours are back and Milly‘s Spring/Summer 2012 collection is not without them.  With gorgeous dresses, trenches and separates, the pieces evoke every bit of elegant-yet-young-looking vibe that Milly is known for dominated in blue and orange tones with hints of lime green and specks of gold and of course, the requisite summer white.  These […]

Metallic Warriors at Hervé Léger

Like Christian Louboutin’s red soles, Hervé Léger‘s signature bandage dresses are hard to miss.  They’re very similar season after season, and one dress can last years without looking like it’s “out” (unless you’re season-obsessed).  The upcoming collection is no exception.  There seems to be a warrior theme to the collection – many shiny metallics (a […]

Diet Coke’s Stay Extraordinary Party

Luca Luca: Colours, Gems and Florals Too

Bright pink ruled Luca Luca‘s runway on Friday.  From dresses to belts and even the lipstick, the shade was everywhere, giving the collection a good punch in colour, just in time for warm weather.  There were also hints of gems and floral patterns as well, seen on dresses, tops as well as pants (though I’m […]

Restaurant Review: 17 Steps

I usually don’t do restaurant reviews since beauty and style is more my thing but I do enjoy to eat and I recently found this great restaurant that I had to write about. The name of the restaurant is called 17 Steps – it’s in the basement and it takes 17 steps to get down […]

BCBG Spring-Summer 2012: Vibrant and Flowy, but Shapeless

Ever notice that BCBG’s runway collection looks very different from the “regular” pieces (suits, jersey dresses and evening gowns) sold at its own boutiques and department stores?  The Spring-Summer collection is probably no different, and was, once again, more unique.  Most of the dresses were at least tea length, asymetrical, with strappy, sleeveless or bare […]

Nicholas K: All About the Flow!

Though the unofficial start of fall has just begun (and not even started calendar-wise), the thought of spring and summer has already gone through the minds of the fashion world.  The opening show of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York was Nicholas K Studio. For Spring/Summer 2012, the women’s (and men’s) collection is full of […]
