Fashion Style

Even though Spring has yet to arrive, we would like to remind everyone that the New York Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2005 show is kicking off today. Here are some of our personal recommendations:



Barneys Girl says to look out for: Luca Luca, Caroline Herera, BCBG Max Azria, Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, Custo Barcelona, Matthew Williamson and Jennifer Lopez.



Harrods Girl can't wait to see: Anna Sui (always fashion forward), Twinkle, Vera Wang, Zac Posen, Diesel (their first ever fashion show!), Marc by Marc Jacobs (as usual) and Diane Von Furstenberg.

The authors of this blog have noticed that at the beginning of the OC Season Two, the quality of fashion has declined severely: Abercrombie shirts were seen constantly, and the outfits were highly uncreative. As Summer would say, EWW!! But thankfully, the producer Josh Schwartz must have come across a comment or two in the OC chatrooms, (which he obssessively hangs around,) and asked the OC's fashion stylist Karla Stevens for improvement.

The results are obvious and spetacular. Most of the Abercrombie shirts and untrendy items are gone, and brilliant items have appeared. There are now more Marc by Marc Jacobs and other Neiman Marcus type items being worn. It certainly makes the beautiful OC people even more beautiful and perfect. Learn how the stars dress for different occassions, the OC-way.

For school : Does anyone in your school ever dress so gorgeously to school?

For dinners and parties : The people of the OC seem to be at parties more than anywhere else. They have Neiman Marcus to supply them a never-ending supply of beautiful dresses.

Don't YOU wish you lived in The OC too? So you can be these beautifully dressed people, BE part of this rich and snobby commnunity.

It has come to this blog's authors' notice that someone had commented the following about our site: "Your obssesion with capitalism is diabolic."

From dictionary.com:

Diabolic:

Of, concerning, or characteristic of the devil; satanic.

Appropriate to a devil, especially in degree of wickedness or cruelty.

This comment is rude and just shows what how close-minded some people are. We would like to respond the following points:

• Capitalism is one of the most important basis that most societies nowadays are built on. If you can't accept capitalism, then you are welcome to continue to hide in your hermit lair, or even better, move to a socialist country like North Korea.
• Retail industry is one of the most important industry in the economy. A huge percentage of the people employed works in the retail industry, and without it, well, you can imagine how high the unemployment rate would be. The same applies to the fashion and beauty industry.
• Having suffered from the Asian Financial Crisis, Hong Kong has finally been making steady economic recovery thanks to the Chinese government relaxing polocies so more mainland Chinese can go to Hong Kong to shop! (Mainland Chinese love to go to Hong Kong to buy gold, jewelery, cosmetics and fashion etc.)
• China, the center of socialism, wouldn't be the biggest rising economic power in the world if they hadn't opened up to capitalism. With their open market policies, they have attracted many foreign investments to manufacture there, like Gucci, Levi's and IBM to name a few.
• And if after so many points, you still cannot accept capitalism in our world, then you are welcome to stop shopping and share your possessions like socialists do. But we sincerely hope that you will embrace the modern framework of our society and join us in the twenty first century.
• Most importantly everyone has different interests and hobbies, fashion just happens to be ours. And this blog should not be taken to reflect the society as a whole.

And to end this on a light note, we would like to remind you all that we still LOVE getting comments *hint hint* (and yes, we are both studying economics related courses)!

Love,

Barneys Girl and Harrods Girl

Will winter continue or will spring bloom - fashionable minds want to know?

According to legend, if our favorite groundhog Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather.

If he does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring.

What is our favorite groundhog - Punxsutawney Phil going to see?

Well you can see live Punxsutawney Phil live cams - you can even control the cameras!! or visit the official Groundhog site.

Until I know Punxsutawney Phil predictions, I will just continue my count down to Valentines day.

This stretch red velvet bustier adorned with metallic hearts, hook & eye back and adjustable straps/garters is the perfect . Red boa and red nylon stocking make a perfectly sexy outfit to entertain your lover or how about throwing a Valentines day party.

Happy February. Time to begin fantasizing about all that sexy lingerie.

I am counting down the days to Valentines day.

Humm. This sexy red lace slip is really HOT!!!

I always remember how sensuous Rita Hayward looked when photographed in a slip for a pin-up photo. There is something about a slip that just oozes sensuality - don't you think?

This red lace slip is made from 90% nylon and 10% spandex.

An, it just the right ingredient for a ultra hot romantic evening. Now, what should I wear underneath - red low-rise string thong or a black low-rise string thong - or perhaps nothing at all.
