The fashionable braces

It has been a while since I have posted on my blog... as I have been feeling rather not to stylish having lived in braces for about 1 year and 5 months.....

However I am delighted with the progress and I should be back to my stylish self in two months time...

In a nutshell, my jaw is too narrow and too small to hold all my teeth... I already had my 4 wisdom teeth out a few years back and for the braces, the dentist took another 4 out...

Just to share with you the progress... back 1 year and 5 months ago...



And as of today....

Mini me.....

The famous saying goes 'like mother, like daughter'.... I wish my mother was fabulously fashionable.. I would have access to all her clothes when I grow up.. imagine the vintage Alaia, Versace, Celine etc.. the list goes on

I would be Sarah Rutson's daughter any day.... Get to go to the Paris fashion show's with mum and carrying a mini Celine bag..

or dress in french chic outfits with my so cool mum, Emmanuelle Alt who just happens to be the editor of Vogue Paris... How come my mum didn't dress me like that when I was that young?

or hang out with the uber cool Carine Roitfeld and look like her... now imagine the access to everything from Tom Ford, Givenchy and YSL.

Sigh.....

Carine Roitfeld rocks in Givenchy coat & Miu Miu shoes

I am lusting for those Miu Miu shoes on Carine.... but can only find the black, fluorescent yellow & gold version on net-a-porter which is actually really foul & tacky.... The black & red version Carine is wearing is so her and the colours go really well with her Givenchy leopard coat...

Get well soon Decarnin...........

First it was McQueen's suicide, then Galliano's racist comments and the next..... well Christophe Decarnin who is suffering from metal health problems...

Who will take the reign at Balmain? the Paris fashion house that Decarnin revived so successfully for 5 years with his sexy, short, tight rock'n'roll designs that made every fashion editor lust for everything in his collections?

What Carine Roitfeld did next...

When Carine resigned from Paris Vogue in Jan 2011, she stated she wanted to pursue in her own personal projects.... so what is the first project?

She will join Barneys as a guest editor,stylist & muse for Fall/Winter 2011-2012. This will be her first time to work on the retail side of things for the fashion industry. She will collaborate with photographer Mario Sorrenti & creative director Dennis Freedman on the ad campaign & catalogue plus style the store's windows in September 2011. So wanting to go to New York then just to check it all out!!!!

I want J Lo's everything in the Gucci ad....

I haven't been a fan of Gucci since Tom Ford has left... Gucci to me seems to be no longer desirable.

But the recent J Lo & her kids for Gucci Ad campaign.. absolutely love... J Lo looks divinely sexy in Gucci.... to the point I actually want everything she's wearing in the ad.... Maybe the credit must go to Emmanuelle Alt for styling the ads.....

Can't wait for 2011 Fall RTW collections to hit the stores...

The Paris 2011 Fall collections have come & gone.....and I can't wait till the collections hit the stores...

Loving the 'kinky' Louis Vuitton show... the see-through skirts, thigh high stockings, diamond handcuffs & the rubber dominatrix boots... such a contrast move from the 'And God created women' Fall 2010 collection.... The models being handcuffed still holding onto the divine LV bags..... so ironic... definitely want the handcuffs..

Want the LV handcuffs... what a fashion statement?

Want EVERYTHING from the Valentino collection... I reckon Chirui & Piccioli have injected this young blood into Valentino which makes the label even more desirable.... Exquisite Valentino craftsmanship as always in the dresses & coats in a new Valentino colour which is divine - Blackish Red.... perhaps the colour to wear for Fall 2011.

Loving the new Valentino colour....

And the so wearable Celine collection.... Phoebe's design skills continues to make the every Collection so classic & subtle you can wear it in 10 years time and it will still be cool... Will definitely be yet another sell out collection.

Lusting over this Celine bag already...

Who knew that purple, yellow & green would go so well in the Givenchy show? (The orchid prints actually reminded me 80s Versace style & maybe even the costumes that Empress Dowager of the Qing dynasty use to wear)..... I must get those gold tipped pumps to add to my ever expanding shoe collection... and give that see through skirt trend a try as my dedication to Riccardo....

Riccardo's inspiration maybe?
