Accessories for Fall 2008

 I’m a minimalist. I don’t do much accessories but I found that the accessories featured at Style.com are great for those who want to know more about the latest fashion trends. Don’t just get the shoes and bags, try these funky and exclusive jewelries from major designer brands too.

Here are some of my favorite picks:

Sexy Bra from Victoria’s Secret

My friend Emily wrote a post about nice bras from Victoria’s Secret and I couldn’t help myself from checking them out too. If you are looking for the right bra for your skin baring summer dresses, you better check out these bras.

If you like to put on a deep V dress, go for this design. It’s super sexy with an ultra deep shape and it’s wired and padded.

But for more versatility, go for this 100-way strapless convertible bra. You can easily put this on for any halter, crossback or just a simple tube dress by strapping the straps in any way you prefer.

But out of all the summer bras from Victoria’s Secret, this is my favorite one. It’s totally sexy with maximum support and minimum coverage. Any guys will go crazy seeing you in this bra!

I love gold, but I seldom wear anything in gold. It’s such a nice color that will compliment your look if you wear it well. Check out some of the nice dresses in gold, or just a touch of gold.


A Gen Dress by Lanvin

 


A solid gold dress by Vera Wang

 


Shimmery Gold by Christian Lacroix

 


Oscar de la Renta’s haute homage to Klimt, which is also my favorite dress with just a simply touch of gold.

Dolce and Gabbana Pre-Fall 2008 Collection

Vera Wang Spring 2008 Collection at Kohl’s

I love the Spring 2008 Collection by Vera Wang. They are young, lively and trendily colorful. Furthermore, Vera Wang’s clothes are more affordable now and I guess it’s not hard for us to add some in our wardrobe.

Of course, if you won’t feel like buying any designer brands, just catch the fashion tips for Spring from Vera Wang’s collection. Go for colorful bold prints, add layers and dimension if you are slim, go for something simple but add a piece of accessory as a fashion statement and just dress for fun yet feminine.

Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear

I love the clothes and bags from Salvatore Ferragamo because they are glamorous and classy. It’s so feminine, you will try to act like a lady if you are wearing a Salvatore Ferragamo. This Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear simple lovely and I think Cristina Ortiz did a great job in maintaining the unique style of the 80-year-old Ferragamo.


I like the jacket, it’s classic. That pair of shoes are pretty as well.

 

 


Wide-legged pants are hot.

 

 


An one off shoulder dress 

 

 


A business suit for OL 

 

 


A see through top which I love but won’t be wearing.

 

 


Check out the bag 

 

 


A lovely halterneck for the evening.

 

 


If you would like to stand out in a sea of black, get something shining or metallic like this jacket. 

 

 


I like the suit!

 

 


If you are a party girl, go for this dress. 

 

 


This gown is definitely for the red carpet. 

 

 


Not everyone can carry the top, but it’s lovely. 

Gucci Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear

I wanted to post about Gucci Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear collection but I was to tied up with my trip to Bangkok. But it’s never too late to post about the pretty clothes now, so if you are a Gucci fan, check out the clothes from the stores. I prefer to take a sneak at the fashion runway and shop for something similar at a cheaper price though. :P

I like those embroidered blouses with short chiffon dresses or skirts, but the textiles of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan might not be a fashion trend here yet, but who knows? Maybe it will be very popular as months to come. On top of that, some of the mint coats might not be practical here, so you can just look at them as masterpieces. These coats and jackets are meant for the rich Russian women huh?

Best Dressed At 2008 Academy Awards

When most of the bloggers are keen to know who are the nominees and winners of 2008 Academy Awards, I’m more interested on who are the best dressed celebrities at the red carpet. It’s not that I don’t care about who’s bring home the little golden statue named Oscar, but don’t you want to know what they are wearing on one of the grandest event on earth? Here are some of my favorite and best dressed celebrities:

17m.jpg
Cameron Diaz in a pink gown from Christian Dior and Bulgari jewelry. She had a Roger Vivier clutch in her hand.

 

 

36m.jpg
I don’t think Nicole Kidman has ever been in a fashion disaster. Here she was in Balenciaga, a L’Wren Scott necklace, and a Bottega Veneta clutch.

 

 

16m.jpg
Cate Blanchett proved that you can still look great with a bump. She’s dressing gorgeously in Dries Van Noten with a Roger Vivier clutch.

 

 

23m.jpg
Another expecting celebrity, Jessica Alba, in Marchesa and Cartier jewelry.

 

 

22m.jpg
I like the Oscar de la Renta mermaid dress worn by Jennifer Garner. Her Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry and Roger Vivier clutch completed her look.

 

 

45m.jpg
Did I tell you that I love George Clooney? See how handsome he was in Giorgio Armani.

 

 

40m.jpg
I don’t know why Penélope Cruz didn’t work out with Tom Cruise, but she looked lovely in Chanel Haute Couture and Chopard jewelry.

 

 

15m.jpg
Anne Hathaway’s megawatt smile was enhanced with a dress by Marchesa and Harry Winston jewelry.

Did Renée Zellweger write about how she managed to put off the weight successfully? I want to read all about it! She dressed in Carolina Herrera and Cartier jewelry for Oscar.

 

 

37m.jpg
Calista Flockhart didn’t look too skinny in a vintage dress by Valentino huh?

 

 

27m.jpg
The last but not least, the Best Actress Marion Cotillard, in Gaultier Paris Haute Couture, Chopard jewelry, and Daniel Swarovski clutch.

Missoni Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear

I’m not familiar with the clothes from Missoni, but I was looking for some knitting patterns and I found that the fall 2008 ready-to-wear from Missoni has some awesome designs of knit wears. The ponchos are lovely too, and I found a nice way of wrapping myself with a scarf. It’s just too bad that I’m staying in a country of tropical climate, if not I would surely want to try out the looks of the models!

00120m.jpg
A nice knit dress, I like the color.

 

00190m.jpg
A wrap top is never out of style.

 

00240m.jpg
I wonder if I should knit something like this?

 

00110m.jpg
Or maybe just a simple top like this? I just have to get some help on the knitting pattern.

 

00270m.jpg
Poncho? Scarf? :P

 

00260m1.jpg
I like the scarf, but I don’t think I can find is useful here.

 

If you don’t prefer knit wears, there are some nice designs from the collection too.

00340m.jpg
A nice asymmetric dress. It’s sexy to show off your shoulder.

 

00390m.jpg
I like the pants!

 

00400m.jpg
Simple but elegant.

 

00430m.jpg
Having a party tonight? Go for sequins.

 

The last but not least, check out the ankle boots. They are lovely.

00350m.jpg
Nice leather boots!
