Carousels and Couture

My style is usually something short and comfortable. Since Singapore is so hot, I hate to wear jeans or anything too cumbersome. Also, since I'm petite, I always thought that long dresses would look terrible on me. I also prefer cute short dresses that either show off a beach summer look, or a glamorous look depending on the colour and fabrics. So I'm still a little slow on the uptake, but my current obsessions are over maxi dresses. Celebrities like Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton wear them often as they embrace the boho style, but I felt that they make them look shorter and frumpy. And that is definitely not a flattering look at all.   I always thought that maxi dresses would suit only the long and leggy girls, like Megan Fox. She always looks great in long satin dresses at movie premieres.   See? Since I am neither, I felt that it was useless to bother with long skirts and go for short and knee-length dresses. Hayden Panettiere proves me wrong while she...

Winter's Bone put her on the list of breakout stars, The Hunger Games catapulted her into a box office star. Jennifer Lawrence steps out for the Dior catwalk show in Paris wearing a floral red and white dress, nude heels and white Dior bag. I thought the ensemble was a chic look perfect for a summer in Paris. The dress is conservative and mature, and I like how she accessorized with the nude peep-toes instead of basic black. The white chained shoulder bag is also a great touch, and keeps the look effortless and fuss-free. The actress will be seen in the Silver Linings Playbook, and is currently shooting Serena, from the novel of the same name.

I often look out for what celebrities are wearing, particularly the ones I like. Since celebs are the ones who have the money to burn, and designers on speed-dial, they're definitely the ones with their fingers on the pulse of what's trending. So I love dissecting what they wear and don't wear, and emulate them if I like their style. Blake Lively may be a familiar face and name in the fashion and pop culture world. She is a favourite for fashion big-wigs Karl Lagerfeld and Christian Louboutin. So of course, she's always dressed in the best. Here she is promoting her new film Savages at the Late Show With David Letterman.     With a dress by Jenny Packham and and shoes by Christian Louboutin, the actress looks stunning in white. I'm absolutely loving the crystal-encrusted neckline and cuff details. The floaty wrap dress is a simple yet glamorous look and she keeps her hair in her trademark half up-do blonde waves. What do you think? Loving the look...
