Urban Elegance

The new way to evening wear is to combine rock chic with feminine, romantic dresses or gowns.

Editor’s notes

With quilted detailing and a bold red hue, Joseph’s leather biker jacket is a statement-making new-season choice. Work a ’50s-inspired look with cropped black jeans and suede pumps. Shown here with an Aurélie Bidermann ring, Stella McCartney bag, Jimmy Choo shoes, Vivienne Westwood necklace, Dominic Jones ring, Bodas top, Joseph sweater and The Row pants.

It’s how Free People would wear it too!

The celebrities are doing it…

The only thing Brit model Poppy Delevigne and Heidi Montag have in common is this super-cute floral Ralph Lauren dress. Poppy gave her frock a hard edge adding a tough leather jacket, black belt, flat sandals, and a metallic clutch. Heidi opted for a more Southern-belle vibe adorning herself with a floppy pink hat, matching watch, white Chanel bag, and peep-toe pumps — Same dress but two totally different ways.

The Hills star Kristin Cavallari wearing a simple white tee dress and tan studded sandals. Check out how she added a tough edge to her ensemble by contrasting her simple frock with a leather military jacket by A.L.C. The yellow scarf also adds a nice pop of color. Her favorite Alexander Wang Coco bag, Tom Ford sunnies, and fun, layered bracelets finish her funk.

When I’m kissing you it all starts making sense
and all the questions

I’ve been asking in my head
like are you the one
should I really trust
Crystal clear it becomes
when I’m kissing you

Past loves they never got very far
walls of made sure I got in my heart
and I promise I wouldn’t do this
till I knew it was very right for me

Black Friday.

No mood to study for my last paper on Saturday!!!!

I’m doing EVERYTHING but mugging now…only muggles mug!!

” APARECIUM!!!! ” (reveals invisible ink to cheat)

Alright, I’m joking. On a totally different note, Black Friday’s trending! I heard of BF in Silicon Valley – but never knew it’s such a HOT event!

According to Wikipedia, Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day many U.S. retailers open very early, often at 5 a.m., and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season. Because Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, the day after occurs between the 23rd and the 29th of November.

The day’s name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term began by 1966 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that “Black Friday” indicates the period during which retailers are turning a profit, or “in the black.”

Googled “Black Friday” and found these cute scribblings.

Wow, cool. I wanna shop too!!!! Imagine what it would be like to shop at this ferocity and magnitude in the US. There’s nothing like BF in Singapore! -.-”

What I’d do is to grab a few best girlfriends and shop the day away, followed by an awesome dinner, dessert and late night movie. AHHHHH. That’s life.

Tommy Hilfiger’s really cheap in the US! I remember grabbing polo tshirts off the shelves as if they’re FREE. HAHAHA.

There’s even an official Black Friday site dedicated to this! Nice.

Okay and you gotta see this – a blog for all the best BF deals!!! From brands and mega stores like

Apple

Home Depot

Amazon

etc etc etc

Well, I guess this is a joke?

HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY, AMERICANS. While the rest of the world suffer from the lack of BF-ness.

Emma: One in a Million.

Guess who’s sitting on my desktop now as wallpaper girl? If you’ve been following me on Twitter, yeah I announced sometime back – Emma Watson. In a moment of insecurity, I’d say I wish I look like her!

She has one of those faces which you can’t forget. In the latest Harry Potter movie (the Deathly Hallows Part 1), the plot was thin and the entire duration was too long, ending up being draggy and a little boring at some parts.

But Emma’s beauty saved the movie, at least for me.

I was staring at her most of the time, because her every facial expression seem so beautiful. How can anyone look so perfect?!

It’s no wonder luxury retailer Burberry has fashioned a contract with her (AW 2009).

She has an unforgettable, smoldering look that is more enticing when she doesn’t smile. Her sharp features and angular facial contours make her the perfect candidate for campaigns championed by fashion giants.

Besides her looks, her acting is also professional and natural, sometimes even more convincing than Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) himself. It’s not difficult to believe that the character played by Watson, Hermione Granger, is just like the beauty herself in real life, as the model/actress has scored straight As in school as well.

However, she recently dons a shorter than short pixie cut which, honestly, isn’t to my liking. And also to a lot of guys out there – “less feminine”, even “lesbian”, but some honestly love how chic she looks now!

Short hair or not, with a face like that, it’s difficult to look anything less than gorgeous.

Some more “fan” fantasy images of her…I must say they really did a good job! Wonders of Photoshop, I should create my own too!

A shoot from People Tree.

She was once quoted that she “will work for anyone for free if they are prepared to make their clothing fair trade organic.” In fact, UsMagazine.com reports that Watson is collaborating with Italian fashion designer and dressmaker Alberta Ferretti.

Harry Potter or without, Emma Watson’s a bright star of her own.

I fell in love with this song since…yesterday!

“One In A Million”

Jet setter
Go getter
Nothing better
Call me Mr. been there done that
Top model chick to your every day hood rat
Less than all but more than a few
But I’ve never met one like you

Been all over the world
Done a little bit of everything
Little bit of everywhere
With a little bit of everyone
All the girls I’ve been with
Things I’ve seen it takes much to impress
But sure enough you go it makes your soul stand up from all the rest

I can be in love
But I just don’t know
Baby one thing is for certain
Whatever you do it’s working
All the girls don’t matter
In your presence can’t do what you do
There’s a million girls around but I don’t see no one but you

Girl you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this

You’re not a regular girl
You don’t give a damn about your look
Talking about I can’t do it for you
But you can do it for yourself
Even though that ain’t so
Baby cause my dough don’t know how to end
But that independent thing I’m with it
All we do is win baby

I could be in love
But I just don’t know
Baby one thing is for certain
Whatever you do it’s working
All the girls don’t matter
In your presence can’t do what you do
There’s a million girls around but I don’t see no one but you

Baby you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this
Girl you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this

Timing girl
Only one in the world
Just one of a kind
She mine

Ooh all that I can think about is what this thing could be
A future baby
Baby you’re one of a kind
That means that you’re the only one for me
Only one for me
Baby (girl) you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this
Girl you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this

The cool thing about this song, and its MV, is that the girl in question is not your typical hot babe. True love transcends physical beauty? Seems like so.

I’m Gripped.

What I heard tonight gripped me.

I can’t describe how I’m feeling now, even words fail pathetically.

Do I gotta stand in the cold dark night
Till the morning light, yeah
Do I have to say
I won’t let you get away
