RUNWAY // ALL HAIL KARL

Seriously... all hail Karl Lagerfeld.

And his pure creative genius. 

I've longed admire Lagerfeld's runway shows - it's just beautiful masterpieces one after another.

There's just no words.

Who would have thought that the supermarket can be fashionably fun?

It is now with the latest Chanel runway that showed in Paris Fashion Week last week.

Lagerfeld turned the Grand Palais into a Chanel Shopping Center.

And each of the products of the shelves were branded with the double C's.

No details were left untouched. 

What a masterpiece! 

I just can't wait to see what awaits us for his next runway showing.

Like I said... all hail Karl Lagerfeld.

'til next time... c

RUNWAY // I'M GOING TO BE A CHLOE GIRL

Paris is by far my favourite fashion week of all the other fashion weeks.

It has the je ne sais quoi that I much adore. 

And also... my top brands are always showing in Paris so... 

By this fall... I would like to be a Chloé girl. I cannot tell you how muuuuuch I love this collection. 

Nothing to extravagant. Just simply timeless. Just simply Paris. 

I love the silhouettes, the creams and pastels contrasting with the blacks and the bold patterns. 

The ruffles on the dresses to allow flawless movements.

And let's not forget the shoes and oversize clutches. 

It's imperative that I have something for this collection. Imperative. 

I do have my eye on the that black & white coat. *dreams*

TRENDS // PREP TIME

Tartan, plaid, and all things checkered with the colour combinations of blue, black, red and green have a tendency to make everything more preppy. (As one could call it.) I don't think the preppy trend ever really disappeared but during NYFW it was given a much needed extra shot of life. Gone are the days of Britney's Baby One More Time outfit that will only be a faint memory (and hopefully that look should only be seen on Halloween). Now it has graduated to Parisian chic. And I for one could not be anymore happier! Add it with a halo braid and you are set. And let's not forget the comeback of pleated skirts. Yes!!! I am totally loving Fall 2013! (Best one yet!)

TRENDS // ORANGE BE GLAD

As Fashion Week moves to London... I decided to do some round-up of one of the interesting trends I've seen on the runway in the Big Apple. Orange. Orange. It reigned supreme in the see of  blacks, whites and grays. Quite a surprise since orange is rarely associated with the fall/winter collection. But, nevertheless, I'm excited to see the range of orange in the fall. 

What do you think of the pop of colour?

RUNWAY // 3.1 PHILLIP LIM FALL '13

Probably one of the most anticipated runway shows I was looking forward in seeing after falling in love with his Pre-Fall collection. Oh Phillip Lim, why are you so awesome? I'm head over heels in love with the teal over-sized coat and I am determined to have that in my closet come this fall. Oh and the boots wouldn't hurt either. But anything from this collection I would love to have. *hint* *hint* Phillip Lim does minimalism in a sophisticated manner in the best way possible.
