Valentino Resort 2009
Well I have finally gotten around to looking at the Resort 2009 collections and I will say that I am not disappointed. Here is one of my favourites. This Valentino collection is very beautiful and simple. I liked the colour scheme; ladylike colours of pink and gray coupled with a pops of reds and yellows. The heels looked great and I loved the gowns with the necklines. All in all the collection is very mush wearable and if I had the oppurtunity I would definitely take the splurge and grab one… if only the funds were available.

Duck, Duck, Goose
When I was reading Fashion Darling’s tag, I immediately remembered that game. It’s the one where you sit in a circle and there’s one person behind tapping you on the head going duck, and you’re praying to the heavens that he doesn’t pick you and go goose. Or maybe that was just me who didn’t like to be it. Hmmm…

Stylish couple Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger graced us with their presence on the red carpet. Diane dazzled the red carpet in a beaded Chanel Haute Couture dress.

A non- fashion post
Sigh every thing has been so busy lately. A lot of stuff has been going on and I’ve totally neglected my site for a bit. I have just been so uninspired lately and I’ve had no real motivation to actually sit and right. So sorry. I’ve been such a bad blogger.
Sigh.
I just came from watching American Idol and it was really good. I am a David Cook fan but I must say that David Archuleta gave some great performances and I can see him winning.
If you didn’t watch Gossip Girl last night don’t read the following sentences.
It was a really good episode. Chuck totally disappointed me in the end but I still love him.
The couples got matched for what I am assuming is for next season. Serena+Nate; Dan+Vanessa
Sorry to say but Serena is becoming one of my least favourite characters. She just annoys the shit out of me.
Anyways, I’ll try to be a better blogger to you guys.
Peace and love

I’m Back+ Fav looks of the week
Well guys, I’m back. I enjoyed my break a lot.
On to what has been going on lately…
Interesting look. I’m more excited for Alicia Keys. She’s so talented.
Over the week, some designers had their resort collections. My favourite has to be Oscar de la Renta’s.
There were lots of beautiful colours and silhouettes. Great red carpet dresses.
Oh Rihanna how I adore your closet. I love that pink jacket. And your heels are giving me a case of wannarexia.
Iman and Alek Wek looked fantastic at the 2008 American Image Awards
The ladies of “Sex and The City” had another premiere, this time in Germany. All the women looked nice; Sarah Jessica Parker in Versace; Kristin Davis in Oscar de la Renta; Cynthia Nixon in an embellished black gown and Kim Cattrall in an orange satin dress.
Diane Kruger looked lovely in a runched Chanel mini at the designer’s Cruise show
I absolutely loved this Thomas Wylde dress on Angelina Jolie. She looks so happy.
For a woman who just had a baby she looks absolutely amazing in an Armani gown.
I loved this colour. Eva is wearing a very beautiful Versace gown.
