Fab Mini M.A.C

Chanel, Gucci and Hermes are a few fashion houses that have earned their arm candies the It-bag status.  Now though, they seem to be taking a break while other American designers reign the runway with their eye-popping borsettas. As much as I want to compliment Marc Jacobs, I have to ignore for I wish not to steal the limelight from Rebecca Minkoff whose dazzling bag I’m going to torch on for this post. 

You might have stolen hearts with your Chanel signature lamb-skin bag, but maybe it’s time for a fresh new departure with a little more oomph. And I suggest Rebecca Minkoff’s Mini M.A.C Wondering what M.A.C stands for? Well it’s Morning After Clutch. Even though the bag has been ruling the market for nearly 3 years, little did it run out of fame. 

Some fret over the limited space the clutch has, while I consider it’s ideal to stash your must-haves in. The style-booster also comes with an adjustable chain which allows you to wear it cross-body, which, I reckon to be the best way of wearing it. 

Genuine leather without a doubt and is light! 

Worried about the colour choices? Don’t be,  it ranges from bold summer colours to the chic-pastels. 
Best finish to your color-block outfit I should say!

Wearing a humble price tag of 600MYR for the usual leather and 900MYR+ for bubble lamb leather, this affordable arm candy can compliment your street style and party outfit better than any other . 

What else? Get grabby now!

Trend to reign?

I sure did miss a post about the fall-trend which got all suited up in velvets and sequin-rich dresses, further oozing sophistication under the luminance of punchy colours and also the synonym of opulence, Gold. In contrast, A/W 2012 is fancying up style from sophistication to chic thus, giving me all the right reasons to write about this one. And street fashion for sure has its status elevated by the breath-taking evolution by the mavens of the industry.

I will touch on a few highlights which caught my fashion-eyes.

Prada A/W 2012

Purple in lieu of black is what suggested by top fashion houses like Dior, Prada, Gucci, Bottega Veneta and a few more while the others cheered for vibrant colours and the come-back of monochrome. What's great about purple? Purple makes a great combo with a lot of colours thus easing the matching and layering session. Purple with grey (in any order) is my personal favorite!

Fashion is fun and that's emphasized well this time. You might have been busy being a 'lady' for seasons,  maybe not this time. Kooky cartoons are on the list to cheer fashionistas off working hours with the one-key piece at a time rule. Save your thanks to Marc by Marc Jacobs and Burberry!

Chanel A/W 2012 ( Speaking about Chanel, Lagerfeld should really3x stop being overly futuristic EVERY season =S

Enough of tops, let's get on with shoes. Heels are still in demand but for a change we are chucking the ones with pencil-thin bottoms for cracking and breaking purposes. Chunky heels have stolen the spotlight.

A/W 2012 certainly has more in store, and I can't help but wonder which trend sizzles and which one fizzles.

Sweet-tooth Fashionistas

Summer has arrived, so is a new colour trend to don! If you think the sun is the only hot treat this season, sweetie you are wrong. Setting aside the invasion of the UV rays which is inevitable, we have irresistable hotness channeled in a  rainbow of taffy colored pastels this summer.

sweet!!

It's about time you chuck those leather jackets aside with 'em tribal prints and bold accessories, ice parlor palettes, canvas shoes and pastel denims are on the platter to appease your wardrobe craving as the heat sinks in. Did I mention, the legging trend and pleats are back for good?

What a treat to look out for!

So let your candies melt in your mouth and candy-hues rock thy style right. Summer looks like a luscious treat not to miss, what more can I say?

A Lagerfeld Game

Hello!

A good news is knocking doors of all the budget fashionistas and calculative Divas out there.

Something is brewing ladies; get yourselves ready to be served.

Fashion is a big-ticket possession they say; I bet they haven’t heard this one just yet.

It’s an ultimate dream of every girl to be wrapped around the creation of this fashion whiz. Who doesn’t recognize the 79 years old mysterious-stern-man of the industry who flaunts white hair and a pair of shades like a craved possession?

"My thing is to work more than the others to show them how useless they are."

That’s Karl Lagerfeld.

Looks like the victory and fame on the runways every season isn’t enough to set him handcuffed from another venture in this forever-evolving industry.We sure know something’s cooking but that’s not in Chanel or the Italian Fashion House Fendi.

Rumours has it that Karl is about to reign another line of his own,officially on the 25^th January 2012. While the preview is gaining tremendous number of hits on  net-a-porter, which girl wouldn’t kill to know more?

Just like Michael by Michael Kors and Marc by Marc Jacobs , Karl is the baby project of the mentioned designer which sells its' fashion pieces at a price assumed affordable to nearly-all devotees out there. FYI prices range from $95 to $450. 

According to ELLE Jan 2012 issue, the biker jacket is going to be the hotcake to be sold out in hours time this February. We will see about that!

love! love!

Well to speak about the design, it looks rather futuristic and bold compared to his usual stylishly elegant pieces of Chanel. 

Bags and shoes? 
That’s still all hugger-mugger.

So, while we keep our fingers-crossed waiting for the launch, why not take a sneak peak?

Net-a.Porter/Karl 

To dip thy fingers into fresh start in this industry takes more than just courage, and I dare bet 79 isn’t a big hurdle for this legendary icon of fashion. I wish K.Lagerfeld and Net-a-Porter luck!

Ladies,
I once heard love can spring at unlikely of places, but in this case it rather looks like luxury goods can spring at unlikely of prices!
