IT'S A GREEN BIKER.</span></u></i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone who knows ME knows you can't keep ME from a good biker jacket for long. And this, this is such a good one, from H&M's mens Spring 2013 collection, I kinda need this in my life. And here's why.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So let's examine the possibilities here. I wear the jacket, sweat like mad come march but look like a slightly (<i>a lot</i>) bigger Danny Zuko with a printed shirt and cuffed baggy trousers. So basically, grease meets homeless person but hey that's always my look so don't knock it. Also, don't think I need to examine the other option. The option making is this: TO RUN FOR AIR-CONDITIONING... But also look at your phone and clutch your bag while running. You know, just in case Tommy Ton is nearby... he looks asian, you never know.</div>

<h2 style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">A while back I had this blog... we did these fun little DIY things and then I had school, than son of a glue gun sucked up all time and then I neglected to update the blog. BUT I'M BACK. School's out and my time is now split between sleep and sleep. And blogging, occasionally. </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">And to kick-start this return I have these great 2 necklaces that I did on a whim, almost a year apart with some sort of co-relation when I put them together maybe it's the whole texture-and-metal thing going on. We sold the black braided leather one to a good friend and couldn't help but keep the braided rope one to myself. And I love it. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">For me I wear it with a plain white shirt because with the texture and metal it's best to keep the rest of the outfit nice and clean. Or when I'm in all black (as I usually am) it's a great piece to break up the colour. Tell me what you think in the comments! </span></span></div>

Either way, here are some close-up shots of the Spring Summer 13 pieces based upon the idea of a tropical paradise expect loads of colour and loads of shine.

A precious sneak peek at what's to come of the OMG-don't-make-me-wait-any-longer H&M collab. This assymetrical red dress with that lucite-heeled boot is certainly an elevator pitch of a first look, sunmming up what the house of Margiela has come to be known for. </div>

We think those boots will be a surefire hit come launch date with the knee-high shape becoming important again, hello stumpy calves! And that dress... I've seen maybe 80% of the girls at my school wearing something like that in black. So yes, another hot seller for sure! Question is, will you be willing to pay the elevated H&M price for those four white stitches? </div>

If you've been following me on <a href="http://twitter.com/gregorywoo">twitter</a>, you'd probably have unfollowed by now. Thanks in full to my un-ceasing stream of angst and verbal eye-rolling. However, if you're still there you may have picked up on how busy I've been for the last few weeks because of a little thing I call "death by fashion" though everyone else calls it school. So bear <i>(bare?)</i> with me as I go on a very temporary hiatus.</div>

First of all, this is basically everything I have in my wardrobe that's red. I waited for the street style whores to do it first though and thankfully they did. Because of that, I don't feel like such a doofus wearing red on red this national day, actually I still kinda do because I left the house like that and people started starring. OH WELL, starrers... gonna stare?<br />

If you need further evidence that I haven't entirely lost my weak willed sartorial mind, here are photos of random people, in red.</div>

SEE, told you I wasn't insane to wear red on red! Or maybe we're all insane and wearing red. Thoughts?</div>

I have my DIY-ed spike rope bracelet sandwiched between a Vice & Vanity necklace I wrapped twice. I have really big wrists. No double entendres there...<br />
<br />
Anyways, all Singaporeans out there if you are reading this I hope you wore red today, it's really the least we can do to show our little nation some love. Also, it's totally on trend and really chic when done well. Just don't walking around looking like an ang pao, play with proportions and shade, that's how you do tone on tone.</div>

So... Marc Jacobs thinks he can get away with charging something like a hundred dollars for a pair of zipper earrings huh. Well... he shouldn't. This week I show you a mind-numbingly easy tutorial for how to recreate those earrings for less... way less.<br />

Believe it or not, that's really all it takes to get that "fresh out of Marc By Marc Jacobs store" look. Also, the loop at the bottom of the zipper offers some great customisation options! Think raffia tassels or even some neon thread gem goodness! Have fun!<br />

Sorry to keep you waiting you P.L.Ts, this week's tutorial is worth it's weight (wait) in glitter. A good friend of mine, Joanna, or Jo for short came to me with a fashion 911. She'd ruined her lovely brogues and wanted to do something with them cos' they were too good toss. So here's the solution: glitter. But isn't that the solution to everything else though?<br />

Peel off the tape when the glue is dry to reveal your new, glitzy-er shoe. Wear them with a cropped tuxedo pant to add a touch feminine flair to your look, or with a flirty little dress for that touch of gamine cool.<br />

When I think of Dries Van Noten the first thing that always pops in is that iconic large check that he does so well exhibit A, above. And also, if you remember a few seasons back he was in to the whole batik, ikat thing and in the spirit of that movement I've taken the liberty of combining those ideas in this DIY. For this tote, I employed a japanese tie dye technique known as shibori, which is fancy-pants for well... fancy-pants tie dye.<br />

Hello there my pluckie duckies! Another week, another tutorial. On this lovely thursday, turn your attention to this Celine Spring 2012 cuff. A beauty isn't she? Spotted her at the ngee ann city store here in singapore for something like $800, ie: not as friendly to the wallet as it is to the eye. Here's a quick, simple tutorial to get the same look for much less moolah.<br />

It's so last season... Ok I don't really care and neither should you. Gorgeous Raf Simons shoes will always be gorgeous Raf Simons shoes. But at over a thousand dollars I'd probably need to wait a few more season, when they've been re, re-marked down before I even consider calling them my own. BUT WAIT. What is that you say? DIY to the rescue? Indeed, indeed.<br />

One for the girls (and perhaps the very adventurous gent) this time around, we've got Noir's gorgeous neon accessories that so beautifully combine the punch of neon with the poise of well placed faux crystals. (Note, I said well placed. No disastrous tai-tai bauble explosions here). Read on to find out how you can get that same look. </div>

In this DIY, I used spikes and studs instead of crystal because I couldn't find sew on ones that I liked. But if you do, by all means, use those! You can even pin on an old brooch if you have one, it's all about creativity here! </div>

You've just made yourself a neon pink cuff with the pretty of pink and punk of that hardware. A perfect little finishing touch that'll help you cover 2 trends in one. I actually prefer the spikes to Noir's diamante options. What say you?<br />

You know that saying "Everyone needs a little Alexander Wang in their lives"? Never heard of it? Well you ought to, it's new, I made it up. Speaking of, I've eyed these utterly lust-worthy Alexander Wang sunnies for THE longest time. With the zipper detail it's just the right amount of edgy for me. And OMG are they cool.<br />

Who isn't a Zac fan? I mean come on! Even if you aren't a "fashion person" you should<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>still look at his gowns and at least go: "OOH PRETTY!" Well maybe that's an understatement too though. Having sat in at the castings, fitings, cast-fittings for the show and being able to look and touch the pieces up close was such a dream! Every pleat, fold, tuck is done with such precision and intent. Ok but enough of the technical talk, these clothes actually look good on women and by women I don't just mean the 1% of the gender that look like giraffes... in heels... in gowns... in makeup. I'm talking about real women here! The way every piece is built - You don't need a body, go to Zac, he'll give you one.<br />
<br />
Did I also mention, Zac Posen's team gave most of the bigger gowns names? I LOVED that! Here's how it goes:- If it's been worn by a celebrity, the dress takes the wearer's name like the teal Number Kelly Osbourne was in is known plainly as Kelly Osbourne. And the rest are descriptive, like the one above is called 'big red'. How totally adorable is that!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435849334786617080.post-67183006769649225992012-05-24T00:17:00.001+08:002012-12-08T19:16:53.312+08:00EVENTS: BACKSTAGE AT AFF, MUGLER FALL 2012 <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So I've just woken up from a record snooze-athon after the INSANE week that was AFF, The Audi Fashion Festival. It was BRR-UUU-TAL. Seriously, I don't know how the people at Mercury do it. So this year, once again I got the amazing opportunity to serve as a chaperone<i> (read:bitch) </i>to the international designers who came down for this week long affair. First up, was Nicola Formichetti, Creative Director of MUGLER. I was assisting Dinie of OneSixtyNotepad for the day, apparently he needed reinforcements, well clearly since he was too busy being Nicola's BFF. Okay I'm starting to sound like Taylor from the Rachel Zoe Project, whoops!<br />
<br />
So I stayed with the MUGLER team assisting them with whatever, including making a run to the wholesale centre (thank god it was right next to the office!) to get a hidden zipper. When I wasn't being the errand bitch, I died being a slightly oversized fly on a very fabulous wall, occasionally snapping a candid shot, while trying to avoid looking like a perv. Models slipped in and out of 8-inch high Louboutins, with an army of dressers working to get on ONE outfit. Some of these pieces had so many snaps and little zips in all sorts of places, you wouldn't even believe it. Kinda like surgery, but not really.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435849334786617080.post-60267708307050507332012-05-17T03:25:00.002+08:002012-05-24T00:18:52.901+08:00WHAT I WORE: MUGLER @ AFF 2012 DAY 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What I wore to the opening show of the Audi Fashion Festival 2012. Am WED-ing (Wearing Emerging Designers) today. The Jacket is Sifr from right here in Singapore. The cobalt blue pants are from soulland, a lovely label from New York that I scored for a song at the previous inhabit sale.<br />

Sweden based photog Phillip Karlberg, 1200 wooden sticks, 6 days and 6 iconic sunglasses later comes this super innovative photo shoot for Plaza Magazine. One of the rare occasions where art and fashion collide. Brownie points for anyone who can name all the icons these were modelled after, so far I see Karl Lagerfeld, Jackie O and Johnny Depp, can't tell if the one with the bob is Anna Wintour or Lady Gaga. Either way enjoy these images, they are too much of a gem not to share!<br />

It's a little ridiculous don't you think? Asking $495 for a t-shirt? Well, Mr Porter.com But well then "it's Balenciaga!" you say well yes, it most certainly is. Yeah I don't buy into that crap, it's a t-shirt, with panels. Get over it. OR... DIY IT! Yes! A plain old white tee, some masking tape and a dob of paint is all you really need to get the look! And now people can say you look five hundred bucks! A million takes a little more work sweetheart.<img height="640" src="http://www.mrporter.com/images/products/180143/180143_mrp_in_l.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="614" /> Oh and if you do happen have an extra $495 hanging around you can get the original at <a href="http://mrporter.com/">mrporter.com</a>. </div>

Come on, is that not a fitting title for a post about Tom Ford? After all, we <i>are</i> talking about the man who made 'slutty' a legit <i>look</i> in the 90s with his work at Gucci and Saint Laurent. It is then apt that his latest womenswear outing has that same deliciously vampy quality about it. Skin tight dresses, mesh cutouts, bright furs and leather stiletto boots? Check, check, check and check. And yes, I know what you're thinking: It's an episode of Fashion Police and Joan Rivers is about to turn her paddle and shout 'STREET WALKER!' And under any other circumstance, that judgement would be accurate, but not here. Tom Ford has a way of working with these fabrics and silhouettes that read sexy not vulgar. Speaking of vulgarity, does anyone else think this collection is what Kanye intended his Fall 2012 show to look like? But of course he failed, quite obviously too. That man should not be in fashion. Moving on, the video below is of the Tom Ford's Fall 2012 collection. And yes, Gwyneth Paltrow's gorgeous white caped number is in there and so is Jennifer Lawrence's zippered LBD. Didn't think you could keep a celebrity from this collection for long now did ya?</div>

Pastels are in! Wait weren't they also 'in' last season... and the season before that and the one before that? Clearly I'm the only one who thinks this infatuation with powder/baby/candy floss-everything is getting really icky because just about every designer is STILL doing it. And no, the bugis street stalls pedaling their little pastel crop tops aren't helping. Oh god, those are the worse. I also blame them for single-handedly bringing that gross feeling you get after overdoing it at the dessert counter <i>(I would know)</i> into the fashion industry. If you must, this colour trend looks the best when applied to clean structural shapes that veer furthest from the fairy princess ideal. Think Phillip Lim and Acne, those I love.<br />

Don't even touch that sheer baby blue chiffon maxi, not on my watch.<br />
