Legging for Spring 2009

shoppingmum — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 02:49:13 +0000

I love leggings, but I only go for plain and dark colors to play on the safer side. I don’t have nice long legs like supermodels, so it’s best to stick to the simple leggings to cover those extra skin.

But if you have nice legs, you are so lucky! It’s time to get these pretty colorful leggings, as shown at the fashion runways.

But still, not everyone will look nice in striking colors or holed leggings. You might end up in fashion disaster, if you don’t have the legs for it…

How many women can carry this look?

Stretch Your Money on Recession Shopping

shoppingmum — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 03:11:53 +0000

I was tempted to get another Coach bag but since the market is pretty bad and I’m relying on hubby’s financially, I don’t think it’s a good idea to get another designer bag now. The temptation is still there, but I can I will regret getting one, especially when our business has just started and we are living on our savings. Shopping during recession and time of uncertainties need more than just some plastic cards, you will have to think about the consequences of swiping the cards as not everyone can afford to pay off the debts as fast as they think.

Thus, if you are still interested to update your wardrobe with designer brands, check out the latest fashion by various fashion houses with clothes that will last you for the next 6 months or not. I personally like Chanel as I am into office wears now! Besides that, tweed is hot this season, and it has always been fashionable by the end of every year. You can’t be wrong getting one.

Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear by Chanel

The tweed dresses are so mini, you can still wear them in spring. That’s good enough to stretch our shopping budget huh?

Victoria Beckham Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear

shoppingmum — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 04:21:12 +0000

I’m not a big fan of Victoria Beckham, and frankly, I’m more interested about her man. LOL! To me, she’s too skinny, and her breasts look awkward with her body proportion. Nonetheless, I like her sense of fashion and how she can look stylish whenever the paparazis snap her photos. Not to mention, how many mothers on earth can afford to wear designer brands from top to toe and have her hair done every single day? Ya, it’s all about money!

I quite like her Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear collection as the dresses are feminite, body-conscious and sexy with tight fitting from shoulder to knee. You can definitely find yourself in an XO-glass body shape if you can afford to get the exclusive dresses which range from $1,500 to $3,600.

BTW, the dresses can withstand the change of time and seasons. They are classics.

DKNY Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear

I know winter is not even here yet, but in fashion industry, we have to go one season ahead, right? LOL! Besides that, I’m staying in a tropical country, so I’m not interested to know much about winter wear. It’s not like I can afford a winter trip every year anyway…

I like the clothes from DKNY Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear. Some of my favorites are…

Prints

Polkas

Bold colors…

It’s street wear and it’s casual. I like the collection, except the high-heeled sneakers. LOL! I’m lazy with shoe lace.

Moschino Resort 2009 Collection

I like the collection by Moschino Resort 2009. They are simple and casual for holiday, but you can easily wear them to work on daily basis as well, if you are staying in a tropical country like me! Most of the designs are ladylike, but if you easily find one which fits the different occasions.

For work or afternoon tea…

For a party or a girl’s night out!!!

For that innocent girl’s-next-door look…

BTW, the coats are pretty nice too, so if you are looking for one, check out the coat by Moschino Resort 2009 collection.

I don’t need any coat in Bangkok, especially under the hot weather like this! But I really hope to get one if I’m going up north by the end of the year, if I can afford it!.

Christian Dior Fall 2008 Couture

I wanted to blog about Christian Dior Fall 2008 Couture but my slow line took me so long to upload the photos! I can just put a link to Style.com, but I prefer to have the photos here. The clothes are so nice to be missed, even if I can afford them, but I will surely look for something similar.

Nonetheless, most of the designs are glamorous, and you are really be a lady wearing those clothes. So, check out the collection.

Aren’t they lovely? I just love that maxi look.

Besides that, the evening long dresses and gowns are pretty too. You can really expect a lot of cameras flashing at you when you are putting one on.

I think some of them are nice as wedding gowns.

Go For Lace This Fall

shoppingmum — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:51:00 +0000

Lace is never out of fashion, as long as you can find a classic piece of lace dress or top, you can always wear it when the trend is back. I keep a few lace dresses which I bought over the years. The designs are simple, so they will not be out of fashion. If I have some special functions which I can go without my kids, maybe I will wear one of those lace dresses.

Check out these designer brands with their lacy designs on the fall runways.

Derek Lam

L’Wren Scott

Oscar de la Renta

Nonetheless, just don’t overdo with lace. You can easily look older with a wrong piece of dress such as this:

That is definitely not my piece of Prada.

Go Strapless

shoppingmum — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:29:21 +0000

I love strapless dresses, but I can’t wear them anymore. My gal still wants me to carry her and it’s not easy to keep the dress on when a kid in my arms. I go out with my kids most of the time, so for the time being, I don’t have the luxury to look gorgeous. LOL!

Nonetheless, if you have a nice shoulder and willing to bare your arms, go for these strapless dresses:

Versace

Missoni

Gianfranco Ferré

Oscar de la Renta

Tuleh

DKNY

Ralph Lauren
