The Fashionable "Claire's"

Having compared shopping notes with Harrods Girl, I have come up with the conclusion that we need a much more fashionable version of Claire's in America, like the Accessorize they have in the UK, which has been named number one on the "high street accessories" category by In Style UK (magazine.) While their philosophy is both to supply relatively cheap but fashionable accessories to the general population, they have one very distinct and important difference. Accessorize is clearly aimed at more trendy and fashionable consumers. Here are a few of their oh-so-fashionable and lovely accessories:



Isn't this colorful floral patterned bag simply divine?

Patchwork, which was featured in Marc by Marc Jacobs this season.

And these earthy but funky jewellry would go perfectly with the bohemian luxe look this season!





Claire's on the other hand, is obviously aimed at a much younger (notice the heart shaped cursor they have on the site) and less fashion orientated audience. Although they DO provide some very nice cheap but classical items of accessories that everyone needs. I especially love these stone heart hoop earrings, giving a twist to the normal hoops.
Makes one want to move to the UK doesn't it?

Bag Trends Spring / Summer 2005

Ah yes, after I had featured a few key trends for spring/summer 2005, how could it not be time to finally feature bags? This season, big bags are in, (thank goodness. I mean, how did you ever fit everything you need in a tiny bag?) The big bags are part of the world-trotting trend this year, (such as bohemian luxe, safari, holiday themes.) Hobo bags continue to be fashionable this year, but some are different in terms of style and colors. Here are some selections that can be worn with any daytime outfits (and some night wear.):





by Chloe

The IT bag of the season: Chloe leather paddington bag. It goes with ALL the trends this year, and would definately be wanted by all the fashionistas this season.

by Chloe

A lovely bag which I love from Chloe this season. Its perfect for the rich girl traveling around the globe. Well, and also good for going out everyday.



by Burberry

The Burberry Prorsum bag featured in the ads and heavily campaigned on this year. The two pockets and extra long straps give a more casual bohhemian luxe feel to the bag. Oh, and did I mention that this kind of woven handles are seen in a lot of bags this season? Make sure you look out for them.





by Coach

A fabulous hobo bags. Notice that the hobo bags have evoled from the bent shape to this slouchy square shape.



by Anthropologie

Another lovely evolved hobo.



by Urban Outfitters

A classical hobo bag perfect for a shopping spree and a day in the city.





by American Eagle

Notice the floral patterns, which is an important trend this year (thanks to Burberry.) An excellent tote for all casual occasions, such as going to the gym, the beach, to school...





Faithful sling bag from shopintuition.com & girlshop.com

This metallic comfortable hobo was seen on Cameraon Diaz and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Need I say more about how nice it is?



by Gucci

Rememer to check out Gucci on your next shopping trip. Gucci is offering a lot of excellent choices that can serve multi-purpose (day & night), luxe looking, and even go with the posh holiday theme.

Intellectually Fashionable

There is a common misconception in this society that people who are interested in and follow fashion are "fashion victims". They think that its dumb to be spending all that money to buy items of clothing that are "fashionable" one season and out the next. I would like to point out that a) one does not neccessarily have to spend all that money to be fashionable, although it helps and b) there is nothing wrong with wanting to look good, smart and up-to-date. Besides, who said intellectual people are not fashionable? I consider myself and Harrod's girl to be intelligent in every sense of the word, and fashionable. Even intellectual celebrities, like Natalie Portman and Kate Bosworth, can be fashion inspirations.





In fact, some intellectual people have slight perfectionist tendencies in them, which makes them want to look good on the outside as well as on the inside. And so, I would like to conclude that people who are interested in and follow fashion are not fashion victims but in fact, "intellectually fashionable".

Well, I going to a private party tonight. This leather bandeau brassiere top embellished with nail heads and matching g-string thong should match the theme of the party.

Kate Moss for Burberry Prorsum

I was so excited to see the new Burberry Prorsum advertisement in the March issue of InStyle. The advertisement features Kate Moss, my other all-time favourite model! She had recently turned 31, and she still looked great in the new Burberry Prorsum campaign.

Kate Moss is obviously the perfect choice to be featured in the new Burberry Prorsum ads, since the first thing you relate Kate Moss to is usually along the lines of 'British', 'classy and stylish.' Also, it seems as if Kate has been featured in most Burberry campaigns in the past decade. Oh, and probably the most importantly, Kate is Burberry's muse.

From the first picture, you can see that Burberry has obviously decided to mix old-style Burberry together with new-style Burberry, to form a modern, and yet still classy looking English line. Here, Kate Moss is wearing a light, spring/summer dress, and is wearing a seemingly metallic cardigan over it. She has very natural make-up on, and is wearing 6-inch heels.



The theme of springtime Burberry being in the countryside, (picture a perfect picnic day with super green grass.) Here is another photo from the campaign:

Traditionally, Burberry usually focuses on its Burberry check designs as its main campaign. Burberry Prorsum never got much success, as the clothes were too conceptual to be popular, yet not intelligent enough to gain underground support. For the coming season of Spring/ Summer 2005, Burberry had already delivered a well-recieved fashion show for Burberry Prorsum, and is now focusing its campaign efforts on this line.

Here are a few favourites from Burberry Prorsum for Spring/ Summer 2005:

THE trench coat featured in every magazine this season.


This outfit is wonderful pale yellow cardigan makes it classy, and the metallic skirt makes it modern. A great example of the newly focussed Burberry Prorsum line.


As mentioned in the last photo, but this one in this season's IT color, blue. She is also wearing a spring trenchcoat, and carrying a classy hobo bag.


This is the exact same outfit as the one Kate Moss is wearing in the ad. It is the perfect outfit for a posh lady to wear to a garden tea party.


Although this dress has an uncanny resemblance to Chloe's dresses, it actually is different from Chloe's. Notice the cutting and style of the lower half of the dress. It focuses on creating volume, and this
feature is also seen in other Burberry dresses this season, such as
this one.

Since it is so cold out, I plan to turn up his heat with this ultra sexy see thru black ruffled lace robe and spaghetti belt. The velvet thong really highlights my firm buns.

Since its been soo cold all week - I really need to turn up the heat.



Humm! Baby light my fire!






Fashion Notes:






The Christian Dior Spring 2005 Couture Collection had some very short outfits - lots of legs and knee high boots — my favorite combination. I just love knee high boots and short skirts — very inviting don't you think?

I also loved the wild hair on the models in the Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2005 Couture Collection.

Spring/Summer 2005 Throw-Aways

With so many media and fashion houses telling you what is in style, it seems you are never informed of what is out of style. Yes, we understand you spent a fortune last season, and the seasons before, buying whatever was in style, but fashion is fickle, and you don't want to be one of those sad people wearing out-of-season outfits, *gasp*, think of the horror! No fears, we will save you from any untrendy humiliations! Here are some must-throw-away items that designers have said for this season:



John Galliano (for Christian Dior) says: ditch the pearls.

I have been waiting for ages for someone, or something to say that out loud. For the fashion-foward people, pearls started regaining high-fashion status two years ago, (approximately Winter 2003.) But typical consumers only just caught up with the pearl trend in Summer & Winter 2004, (and some people are still buying them!) So stop buying those fake pearls in the mall- even if they are on super sale!




Giorgio Armani (for Emporio and Giorgio Armani) says: ditch anything dark.

I only partially agree with this. I completely agree that we should be focusing on bright and colorful outfits- for all day wear and most night wear, but some dark items are still great for evening wear. And seriously, have you ever seen Giorgio Armani in anything not black?




Stella McCartney (for her own line) says: ditch fur.

Oh, suprise suprise. Didn't we see that coming. For those who don't know, Stella McCartney is an active animal activist. In 2000, she turned down the offer to design for, *gasp*, Gucci, because it would require her to work with leather. Oh, and did we mention she had also made a video against Fur Fashion Week in 1998 together with PeTA. (PeTA is that organisation that does annoying stunts, campaigning for all designers to stop using fur. And gees, why doesn't anyone protest for us to stop using snake skin?) So ya, ditch fur - really, why not? It's going to get hot soon anyways.




Christopher Bailey (for Burberry) says: ditch tights and stockings.

Again, another obvious thing to ditch in the coming season.




Betty Jackson (for her own line) says: ditch pencil skirts.

Pencil skirts are highly boring, old-tradition and extremely unflattering. They have the alarming ability to make you look ten years older than your real age. Wear it at your own risk.




Suzanne Clements (for Clements Ribeiro) says: ditch glitzy embellishment.

If you are thinking 'I thought glitzy was in style', then you are not completely out of trend, yet. This coming season calls for nature-looking accessories, such as wooden and crafty jewelry, as mentioned in earlier posts. So if you have glitzy accessories and clothing you have not yet worn, then wear it now! (While we are still in Fall/Winter 2004!)




Dolce & Gabbana (for their own lines) says: don't ditch anything- it will come back sooner or later.

While there is an element of truth in their wisdom, I must warn readers that this only holds true for people who are filthy rich and have lots of free space to store clothing. If you are a normal person like we are, then you should definately keep the classical-looking items, and all expensive items. Otherwise, give them away to charity shops. Besides, do you really think you would want to wear something that you have owned for fourty years?

The Simple Life 3: The Intern

So the much anticipated reality show finally premiered last night, and it was to my opinion, getting a little bit redundant. I mean, people cannot possibly get that stupid and the audience can only take so much fake stupidity. And after two seasons of it, a third season might be stretching it a bit as the novelty and entertaining value of it falls. Photocopying body parts and driving off with a police car is just not as funny anymore. But as followers of fashion, I've always admired the way they wear chanel and other gorgeous items of value to farms and other places of equal dirtiness.





And is it just me, or does Nicole Richie look better this season, now that she has lost her fake, trashy hair extensions and siezed to wear lingeries on the show?

Haute Couture Finale

Yes, unfortunately the haute couture show this season is only 3 days, with the absence of the likes of Versace, Ungaro, Balmain and Hanae Mori. Next season we expect the couture numbers to pick up (hopefully). And today, Jean Paul Gaultier, Franck Sorbier, Jean-Louis Scherrer and Elie Saab wrapped up the show with a mix of culture and style.









Jean Paul Gaultier took on an African theme for his collection. The models swept through in oversized afro hairdos, body paint and colorful creations of art. Note the chunky wooden bangles and beaded jewelry Harrod's girl wrote about previously.







And this one especially is a work of art. Notice how the front of the dress is cleverly twisted and pleated to resemble an African mask (Although it would be admittedly a bit scary to bump into that at night).







Franck Sorbier also took on an African theme, albeit in a more flirty and fun kind of way. This show was held at the Lido, where the models were encouraged to dance and have fun on stage in their fun, bold, flirty patterned outfits. Personally she looks more like Heidi from the Swiss Alps to me, although I cannot for the life of me make out what those squiggley things on top of her head is.







Stephane Rolland mixed in some eastern concepts into his designs for Jean-Louis Scherre, offering many richly embroidered caftans. Normally I'm not much of a fan of these kinds of combinations, but I rather like how this one is done. Simple, yet elegant with a hint of culture.







And last but certainly not least, was Lebanese designer, Elie Saab's collection, with colorful playful dresses, which has a distinctive Mediterranean mermaid flair to it. Isn't this golden dress just soo extremely gorgeous and ethereal?







And how about this one? I just love the color of this dress, makes me want to jump into the sea and become a mermaid. As you may have noticed, many of his creations for this collection features a bunch of flowers around the neck.
