happy new year | hello 2015

Happy New Year!!! This is an extremely late post to welcome the New Year, but I just wanted to say I can't believe how fast 2014 went past! It has been such an amazing year both for the blog and the fashion world, many milestones were passed and I was so so satisfied with how things were going last year. I'm pleased to say I'm extremely psyched for this year, with many big things coming my way as well as many exciting developments in the fashion world. {Galliano for Margiela anyone?} However, I'm incredibly sad to say that this year as I have a major exam at the end of the year, I won't have as much time as I want to spend posting and curating this blog. I know for the past few months I haven't been posting as much as I should, and I'm apologising from the bottom of my heart that I would be posting even less for the rest of this year to concentrate on my studies. Of course I would try to find time to update y'all on the fashion world as frequently as I can, but there would definitely be much less activity from me hope you would understand. On a brighter note, my recent Valentino Sala Bianca post has been selected for IFB's Links a la Mode, read on to find out more....

In With The New

How's your first week of 2015 going? The first week back to work, still bulging from the holidays? Hitting the January Sales like there's no tomorrow? Cleaning out your closet? Planning your life for the next year? Even though it's just another day like any other, the turn of a new year brings up so many things for everyone. What are you discarding? What do you want to bring in?

met gala 2014 : inside the party of the year

The Met Gala has always been a celebration of the talented and famous, being one of the only major events in the world that brings everyone who’s anyone together on one fabulous red carpet. From A-listers of Tinseltown to top supermodels and fashion editors to Billboard chart toppers, the Met Gala has earned its reputation for the Party of the Year with it’s dazzling guest list. With a dress code that changes yearly with the theme, the Gala’s red carpet has also been crowned the Oscars of fashion by Vogue for it’s myriad of stunning evening gowns. This year, the Met Gala celebrates couturier Charles James in “Charles James : Beyond Fashion” and attendees were encouraged to don their most extravagant, most statement making ball gowns à la the 20th century couturier. 


While we can only weep that we’re not at the Met Gala, these pictures from Vogue would have to be the closest we can get to attending it. Shot by style shutterbug Phil Oh, these pictures deftly captures a glittering black tie gala on the move : from attendees maneuvering their way around glossy limousines outside hotels to gentlemen helping the ladies get pass paparazzi in their traffic-stopping gowns to an insider peek of what it’s like to actually be in the Met Gala. Expect everything from the most candid moments to an impromptu Chanel fashion shoot {cue Stella Tennant} to pre-red carpet and red carpet action, as well as the occasional but completely forgivable FOMO jealous streak.
