evan&dean love

I’m lucky to get an invite to the evan&dean show at the upcoming L’OREAL Fashion Week (sshh, I’m too lazy to type out the actual French accent). They’re showing on October 23rd, 5:00pm.

Check out this gorgeous invite that I got in the mail – it’s even gorgeous down to the texture of the envelope.

Love!

Obama Wear!?


Posted by Gloria Chik on September 29th, 2008 - 8 Comments

I’m sure that the hardcore fashionista Obama supporters (if there is such a thing) are reading this already decked out in their designer Obama pieces, but for those who don’t know you can now purchase designer Obama clothing online.

Girls can choose from a variety of pieces that range from tank tops by Alexander Wang to tote bags by Marc Jacobs. You can even accessorise your outfit with a Proenza Schouler leather bracelet.

There isn’t as much choice for the guys (you can imagine my dissapointment…ha!) but you can get a T-shirt designed by your favourite rap star including Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams. I just hope that these products were made ethically and (for elections sake) in the USA. The last thing Obama needs is a sweatshop controversy.

Now you can be as mad-rad as Zooey Deschanel by checking out the NylonMag.com shopguide with her. I can’t help but think she looks a lot like Katy Perry here – non?

Gossip Girl Stylist – Eric Daman


Posted by Gloria Chik on September 27th, 2008 - 2 Comments

 

With one of my random stopovers at revolveclothing.com I stumbled upon a Fall 2008 Style Guide compiled by Gossip Girl lead stylist, Eric Daman. I know everyone’s been raving endlessly about Gossip Girl clothing (me too! absolutely stunning!), so I thought I would share this guide that I found.

 

It’s pages and pages of colour that pops, flattering shapes, and really pushes us working girls towards new clothing boundaries.

 

Eric Daman picks out girl archetypes like “The Hipster Schoolgirl”, “Young Annie Hall”, “The Girl Friday”, and “The Perfect Teen Collegiate Girl”. Fun for everyone.

 

I’m newly obsessed – join in the fun!

melty chanel necklace

Often imitated, never quite ironic. Check this melty Chanel-alike necklace, I did a double take when I saw it.

 

The golden descriptor:

Admittedly, Coco Chanel is a good 35 years dead. Just take a look at this dark, melting Chanel monogram necklace. Coco would turn in her grave, if she could see it…or perhaps, like us, she’d just buy one. Unique accessories that merge the appreciation for couture with a contemporary, minimal aesthetic. Using precious metals and jewels contrasted with iconographic objects in acrylic and metal, make a statement with this accessory that is sometimes intelligent, beautiful, bold, humorous, eclectic, and always wearable. It measures 1 2/3″ x 1.25″. Not available anywhere else!

 

Would you wear it?
