Celebrity fashion secrets

While I am crazy about the super brand and standing in front of display window keep "eye hunting" for luxury items that I can't afford. Than in my mind will keep playing the questions...Why I am not born in rich family? Why I am can't get what I want like celebrities?...

Celebrities can buy and borrow from the most exclusive labels and the most expensive designer names, and are given more clothes than they know what to do with - but which fashion items do they really love?

Sunglasses
The retro Ray-Ban Wayfarer was given a new lease of life last year. Kate Moss, Naomi Watts and Sarah Harding have all been spotted sporting a pair - in pristine white - this spring. Ray-Ban Wayfarers in white is cost RM840. (USD258)

Handbag
So many It-Bags, so little time. no wonder celebrities are seldom seen with the same bag twice. But Anya Hindmarch's Cooper Bag breaks the rules; Naomi Watts has rarely been seen recently without the roomy, pale-leather tote on her arm. Anya Hindmarch Cooper Bag. RM4725 (USD1453)

Watches
Celebrities in their droves, from Naomi Campbell and Joss Stone to Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley, have fallen for ToyWatch, the affordable Italian brand described as 'Rolex meets Swatch'. Oprah Winfrey named it one of her favourite things: 'I loved mine so much, I wore it just about every day on my big road trip.' Toywatch from RM840. (USD258)

Shoes
From its timeless 2.55 quilted bag to its pearl necklaces, Chanel creates fabulous accessories. Right now its ballet flats are hot property. Alexa Chung has added another two-tone pair to her summer wish list, while Lily Allen wears hers with jeans or flirty dresses. Chanel ballet pump from RM1610 (USD498)

Pasta pasta (season two)

Pork ham tomato pizza

Scallop & asparagus pasta

Tiramisu ice cream

With the 100% RETURN voucher, once again we arrive PASTA de GOHAN for second time. The restaurant still full house not available for walk-in, but we able get the table in 5 minutes.

This time, we wanted to trying some difference food from the last visit, so we decided order "pork ham tomato pizza" for started, "scallop & asparagus pasta" and "oyster and bacon carbonara" with special wafu sauce for main course, ending with "tiramisu ice cream" for dessert.

The foods make both of us enjoy it the delicious moments, but the "pork ham tomato pizza" still not our favorite. PASTA de GOHAN, will be one of paste place in our list.

Dream dream bag

My dream bag

Women's dream bag

Envy over the latest "birkin" or "Kelly" bag by Hermes, but unaffordable to owning one? Help is at hand: rent the bag online.

Thanks to strong word-of-mouth and a healthy Internet buzz, now you can rent your dream bag by clicking "Bag Borrow or Steal" get offering thousands of brand handbags from brands such as Hermes, Bottega Veneta, Yves Saint-Laurent, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Chanel and more, each for rent by the week or the month, with an option to buy.

A Bottega Veneta number in woven leather costs 90 dollars per week or 229 dollars per month, for non-members — members receive a 30 percent discount.

Looking to make a more glamorous statement? A crocodile skin "Kelly" bag — named after the legendary actress-turned-princess Grace Kelly — by fashion pioneer Hermes will set non-members back a whopping 500 dollars per week.

So, instead of pulling a big cash buying brand bag, a much stronger value proposition is a rental for owning a week or a month than change to another luxury brand bag with comfortable price.

Well, lucky for American. I wishful someday the luxury bag rental service will get it in to this city, so I get owning my Bottega Veneta dream bag for a while by paying a litter cash.

Letter to the Queen

To my Queen,
Your highness. I know you been so hard act be like Queen Anna Wintour, but please think deep what you play on your mind, you just one of the queen in the million sitting on the kingdoms chair. It is a difference between you and Queen Anna Wintour that she rules the world of fashion, but fashions control you, its you what have in your kingdom now.

While peoples work with Queen Anna Wintour hate it so much on her, with her smart brain, she still strong sitting on top of fashion world. People still agree on her professional view on design and fashion senses. If you wanted act like Queen Anna Wintour, please showing your professional way on it. Sometime, diamond is expensive and in high level of the list, but not really perfect matching to all the things.

I wishful that you optionally listen my bitching and be professional next time.

Giorgio Armani attack Queen Anna Wintour

Queen Anna Wintour and Giorgio Armani

The fashion industry is totally filled with bitches and divas. Do you know Anna Wintour? I sure you know her very well if you are "fashion species", but if you are beyond the fashion world and really no idea who is she, please watching again "The Devil wears Prada". Yes, thanks for Lauren Weisberger sharing her stories with us about working with Anna Wintour in Vogue magazine.

Is Anna Wintour really bitch like devil? She did warning fashion designers and actors that any involvement in the "The Devil wears Prada" movie will make them invisible in the eyes of Vogue. Means that she really do bitchiest thing sometime like what Lauren Weisberger wrote in her book.

Well, not all the designer will "affair" her power. After Valentino Garavani showing on the movie. Another Italian designer Giorgio Armani set fashion tongues wagging after he criticised the industry's reigning queen Anna Wintour during the press conference on Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy, a forthcoming exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum. He mentioned a comment Wintour said "the Armani era is over". "I was told she said that, I hope that she didn't," he said.

Giorgio Armani then referred to a difference in taste, saying that "what she thinks is a beautiful dress, maybe I don't think is a beautiful dress" and touched on what he perceives as her bias towards American and French fashion designers over Italians.

My "poor" weekend

Weekend is coming, but is in middle of month. My budget for this month almost is getting bottom, damn! Oh man, I have to wait for another week get my pay.

I guess you will have a same situation as what I had now. Living in city is much more spending to other down town, specially hang out with friends or lover during the weekend.

I have my plan for spending my "poor" weekend before the pay day, here the detail of my plan:

Pull out all the high limit credit card and lock in drawer, just in case I can't stop my self buying somethings.

No more shopping except window shopping. Big mall like Pavillion KL, One Utama or Mid Valley Mega mall will give me a comfortable place killing my free time.

Visiting my favorite shop and enjoy my self trying all the dress in store. I love shop at Zara, Topshop and Pull and Bear, but the budget not allow me shop what I want do, so I will get try on first the loving dress and get it after the pay day.

Wong Kok at Pavillion KL

Before....

...and after, I had this for my lunch

No more fancy restaurant, bite only at good value store with nice place. First choice for me is Wong Kok Char Chan Teng restaurant at Pavillion. The shop basically serve Hong Kong style foods, some of the food are nice and place with fine decoration specially the view of KLCC during the nigh time, is really good value for my money.

After done all the "activities", to ending up my weekend, I will go for movie which use my credit card privileges for buy one ticket get one free promotion, enjoying my self for two hours in fantasy world.
