Crushing on white

White is no longer boring! I've noticed a lot of recent style posts by bloggers featuring white blouses or tees with lace details.

Anthropologie had a 20% sale for Mother's Day last week, a perfect opportunity to add a few pretty white blouses to my wardrobe. I love that white goes with anything and these tops can be easily dressed up with pants or a pencil skirt for a more business appropriate look, or with jeans or shorts for a casual look.

Definitely a keeper. Feels very romantic. 

Very flattering cut. The fabric is soft and it's very comfortable. 
This would be a great top for hot summer days. 


Still not sure if I am going to keep this. It looks cute but the fabric is very stiff 
and I'm not sure it'll hold up well after washing.

DVF ♥ babyGap

I love all the idea of high-end designers partnering with mass market retailers. Missoni for Target, Jason Wu for Target, Marni at H & M. Diane von Furstenberg and BabyGap. I really wished DVF did something for the women's line, because I love the prints on the wrap dresses. Check out these dresses from BabyGap, super cute!

My list of best and worst dressed stars at GG 2012

Did you watch the Golden Globe 2012 awards on Sunday? I was working my ass off on the treadmill at the gym (with the illusion that I may someday look perfect like one of those beautiful stars on the big screen...fat hope, pun intended) and this was on. I don't really care about who wins what award, I am more interested in what the stars wear! Check out this list of best and worst dressed stars on NYDailyNews.com. Unless otherwise stated, all the pictures in this posting were taken from the site.

Best dressed
Charlize Theron dazzles in this dress! The camera panned across the room and I caught a glimpse of her in the soft pink dress and thought she looked fabulous. For a minute, I was toying with the idea of looking for a dress in this color to wear to my sister's church ceremony in 2 weeks. Also love the sparkly headband, I have a similar one that I bought from Asos. I'll ask the stylist if she could make me look like Charlize Theron. LOL!

Charlize Theron in Dior 

Nude dresses trump!
I've certainly noticed nude/nud-ish dresses are all over the red carpet on Sunday. And I think they are lovely! Well, most of them anyways. Jessica Biel's covered up lacy dress was dreadful!

Diane Lane in Reem Acra. Can you believe she's 46?

Shaileen Woodley in Marchesa

Nicole Kidman in Versace

Nude fashion faceoff!

One of a woman's worst fear, showing up for a party to find another girl dressed in the same dress! This is the same dress, but a different party. Julie Bowen looks gorgeous in the nude dress, I love the beaded cap sleeve. Who wore it better? I have to say Olivia Wilde looked better in the off-white version.

Julie Bowen (Golden Globe '12) and Olivia Wilde (Emmy's 2008)


Classic black
Black will always be in style. I think these stars wore it best! 

Selma Hayek in Gucci

Mila Kunis in Christian Dior

Claire Danes in J. Mendel

I included Sofia Vergara in this category too. Well, dark blue is kinda black-ish. I have never thought of her as attractive or hot, I've seen photos of her where I thought she looked mannish. But she sizzles in this dress and looks gorgeous here!
Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang. HOT!

Helen Mirren in Badgley Mischka. 

Worst dressed
I don't know why fashion critics are saying Michelle Williams is one of the best dressed. I think she looks dreadful in this purplish velvety gown. I like Jason Wu (I'm going gaga over his soon-to-be-launched Target collection) but this is just blah. 

Michelle Williams in Jason Wu

Lea Michele in Marchesa

Amanda Peet in Marc Jacobs.
The tiered lace makes her look frumpy. 

Madonna in Reem Acra

Kelly Osbourne in Zac Posen.

Naya Rivera in Vera Wang.
The fabric is cheap looking!

Best of show
This cute Jack Russell, Uggie, stole the show!

Looking smart in a black bow tie ;)

One last thing...
By  the way, did anyone think Matt LeBlanc has a lot of gray hair?

Outfit for sister's wedding

Outfit for sister's wedding


This is my first attempt at creating a set on Polyvore. It is fun, but it ain't easy! I have new found appreciation for those beautiful sets that I see. My little sister is getting married in 3 weeks and I'll be going back to Singapore for her wedding. I've bought the dress, earrings and shoes. I'd be looking for an evening clutch this weekend. So much for wanting to save money and spend less in 2012, I'm way over my shopping budget for this month!

More Jason Wu for Target!

Target has posted a sneak peak the look book for the full Jason Wu for Target collection. It is super cute! I was gaga over the Missoni for Target collection. But let's be honest, it's not exactly understated. It's obvious that it's MFT! But this, I love, love, love! Understated elegance, clothes that you can wear everyday.

Additions to my "want" list!

Jason Wu for Target...I want!

Here's a sneak preview of the Jason Wu for Target collection that will be available in stores and online on February 5. Darn, I'm going to be on a plane back to San Francisco that day!

I love, love, love the collection. The blue dress, black and white handbag, striped sweater and baby blue skirt! Super cute!
