Louis Vuitton Damier Utzés tote, sunday casual
In the Monday issue of DN a Swiss company called Pictet Funds has reportedly started a special investment fund, Premium Brands, that only specializing on well, premium brands. As for shopping, they don’t advise against buying any items that carry a premium brand in the first place since the brand and image guarantees that the product will have a certain standard regardless of what. The article goes on to tell that Armani, Prada, Cartier and Italian Bulgari beside the Swedish Absolute Vodka touch a soft spot with the Swedish investment company’s official. Personally, I would never have forgotten Louis Vuitton in a list of my own favorite brands.

Warm without the bulk
In my view, the perfect in-between of warm but not too chunky is – Wolford.
I would personally save the red Miu Mius for another event and leave the short MNG skirt at home if going to the office but this outfit both look good and is reasonable warm.

My love affair with jewellery
As a young girl, my parents often gave me jewellery in the form of simple gold ear studs, a gold ring and teddy bear pendants. My father would buy me silver bracelets, shell necklaces and silver bangles from Thailand and from his travels. My mother would buy me earrings, bracelets and rings in yellow gold, both to wear and to safekeep for the future.
A love affair was thus born for me, between myself and jewellery.
As I grew up, my parents bought me more lavish gifts in jewellery. I received a princess cut, channel set diamond and white gold eternity ring from my mother (also my father) when I was about 21. A sign of their love. As I am not in Singapore and as I hardly spend time with them these days, I wear this ring everyday as a sign of my love for them, keeping them close to my heart.
A woman can express herself as much with the clothes and the jewellery that she wears, as with words.
Jewellery today is as much a hobby of mine as is fashion (clothes, shoes, bags etc.).
Punk fairies and fluid 70s for Spring 2008?
Alright, I’m a slow starter. Always have been. I need time to warm up to new ideas. And at first glance now at the Spring 2008 Prada runway – I’m less than bowled over by Miuccia’s new collection.
I’ve tried all my life – literally – to run away from the 70s era. I was born then.
I’m so done with the fashion of that time. So imagine my horror when one of my favourite designers, Prada, pulls out the wide leg 70s pants! Worse still, it’s back – in floaty material! I can already imagine the cheap synthetic copies that will be out in the stores next spring. *CRINGE!*
