Color Blocking

We had dinner at The Apartment, KLCC yesterday. Don't worry I am not one of those bloggers who would take pictures of their food and post them up on their blogs :p
I love the place, it does indeed feel like we were at home. I was accompanied by some clowns (or maybe just A clown? :p) from work who was really nice to feed us 2 super yummies oreo cupcakes each!

Anyway, this is kind of my first attempt in color blocking, what do you think?



Wearing
Skirt: unknown
Top: MNG
Cardigan: Warehouse
Necklace & matching earings: Topshop
Belt: Miss Selfridge
Shoes: New Look

p/s: some think I have freaky memory - just to test: we had meal number 5 (chicken in a bag), number 20 (seared salmon fillet) & number 22 (chicken & mushroom pasta) & some "red mullet" salad (I'm quoting the waiter who referred to almost everything as red mullet)

Coffee

I am soooo addicted to coffee. Unlike many other people, I do not like the taste at all. I hate coffee flavored cakes, chocolates, candies whatsoever. I need coffee on workdays. It has an immediate effect on me, just a few slurps can make my brain work 100x more. I have no idea what kind of coffee they stock in the office but I would certainly make sure my employees drink them everyday (hypothetically speaking when I run my own business).


Wearing
Mustard Top: H&M (which my desk mate conveniently said "you look like a clown in that top")
Black Skinny Pants: ZARA
Bracelet: Forever21
Earings: Cats Whiskers

p/s: I know this Thai girl (an expat at work) who drinks Starbucks literally everyday. Is she deprived or The Corporation just gives extravagant coffee allowance to expats?

If I have a million bucks

One of the table topics presented during my second Toastmasters meeting is "If I have a million ringgit, which charity would I donate it to?" I was very lucky not to be selected to deliver the speech - I do not know why I was selected to be in Toastmasters, yes, I can talk.. but not to strangers and unfamiliar topics!

Anyway, here's my version of ... "If I have a Million ringgit":


Mini Cooper S in Grey to drive around


Chanel 2.55 in Black for pleasure
.. ok, and in white and pink


Miu Miu Vitello (Large) for work


YSL Downtown in Black for shopping or travels


Christian Louboutin pumps in Black and Beige for work and leisure


0.5 carat of solitaire diamond earings for sheer elegance

..and lastly:


Louis Vuitton trunk for the business trips..

ahh.. there you go.. my table topic speech of the day - If I have a million ringgit :p

p/s: told you I have vision!...hmm.. can I buy a husband?

Feeling Glamorous

I've to admit that I have not seen any of the movies nominated for Best Picture (...yet!) so I guess it is pretty obvious that the only reason for me to watch the Academy awards is the red carpet. OK fine, I didn't really watch Oscar - seriously, unlike the Grammy's there's no performance whatsoever to make it watchable! Anyway, here's my top 3 choice for the red carpet this year:


Marion Cotillard in (Jean-Paul Gaultier)
I don't know why I love this mermaid inspired dress other than the color. I thought it is special, different and has that vintage feel. I think it would look great on Dita von Teese.

Cameron Diaz (Dior)
Color, color, color.. I love dirty pinks!!

Anne Hathaway (Marchesa)
This is seriously romantic.. The color is beautiful especially on Anne's pale skin and dark hair.

Others:

Jessica Alba (looking resplendent in Marchesa), Renee Zellweger (Carolina Herrera of course) & Heidi Klum (Dior - no one else could pull this off)

Where are the other red carpet royalties? I was hoping to see Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theron, Katie Holmes, SJP, Gwyneth Paltrow, Keira Knightley, etc.. blergh

Jumpsuits

I am sooo in love with these jumpsuits. They're everywhere in the last Spring/Summer 08 runway shows. I have not seen any of these at the hightstreet stores so I am really contemplating of getting it tailor made. They seem to be pretty versatile - the 80s glam rock at Chanel, laid-back hippie at Stella McCartney and the masculine feel at YSL.


Chanel, Chanel, Stella McCartney


Stella McCartney, Yves Saint Laurent, Yves Saint Laurent

Safari Day & Night

I feel a little earthy today and thought about this old toga top I have had for years. Guess it's time to re-invent the look considering one shoulder tops are back on the runway.

Buzzz

After all the hype, I have not actually seen anyone using the iPhone yet.. well, at least in KL. I am not sure why, probably the size? Fashion phones are becoming a craze now (not that I'm associating the iPhone with the other fashion phones).

If you're a slave for labels (or looks), you may have been spending A LOT to keep up with the latest addition to the ever-growing selection. I guess until you've finally owned a Vertu, the buying will never stop.. but yeah, how can we not fall for these:


Motorola RAZR D&G, Samsung Armani, LG Prada (Silver Edition)

If you own one of those and think you have the trendiest phone, don't be too confident as someone else might already have this:


Designed by Fred De Garilhe, this one's called Choco Chanel. I love the double C chain and how it looks like when it is collapsed but I am not too sure with the overall futuristic look. If you noticed, the display panel is transparent, OK!

Don't worry, you're still on top as this phone is not available on the market yet so start saving!!

... I'm still in love with my uber sleek black Prada :p
