Who doesn't want to get in prison if Lady Gaga is inside while Beyonce is waiting outside! BONGGA! Out of all Gaga's music video I think this one is the longest! Running time is 9:32 minutes, long enough for all of us to get amazed with her new music video. What else can I say, I'M SPEECHLESS! Nicola Formichetti (Lady Gaga's Stylist) and Ty Hunter (Beyonce's Stylist) did a job well done for choosing such fabulous outfits in this video! AMAZING!

This one is my favorite!!!

Wow! I'm really in love with Lady Gaga right now (who doesn't anyway?) but these Gaga-ish dolls gave me more reason to love Gaga to the highest level! IMO, Lady Gaga is an icon just like Madonna years might passed but not Lady Gaga.

Right now I'm speechless now! Thank you Veik11 for making this wonderful Lady Gaga dolls! You are truly magnificent.

FRENCH VOGUE BLACKLISTED FROM BALENCIAGA

2010-03-09T09:07:00.000-08:00

Oh why? Oh why? Enough said just read the article from fashonista.com. Sorry for the size of the pictures, photobucket is making my life hard!

Word on the street, or in the Tuileries, is that French Vogue was blacklisted from Balenciaga via Max Mara.

The magazine’s editor-in-chief, Carine Roitfeld, consults, or did consult, for the Italian brand. She allegedly asked Balenciaga for samples for an editorial shoot, and one of the coats ended up at Max Mara’s design studio where it was copied and then sent back to Paris.

Balenciaga’s notoriously strict with their samples — almost everyone has to promise they’ll shoot the head to toe runway look and samples are usually lent out for a day at a time — and when the French label heard about Max Mara, they lost it.

If fashion were a monarchy, Carine would be our queen, so we hate to think she deliberately sent Max Mara the coat, but our sources say it was no mistake.

DIRECTIONAL DESIGNS BY CODY ROSS

2010-03-03T11:33:00.000-08:00

This week Cody Ross and I had a very fashionable conversation through facebook chat, upon that conversation I am proud to share with you his new objective within his clothing line. I was really surprised by the photos that he sent to me because they all look glamorous and chic! It's a must buy wherein people can experience in luxury in not so high miles dollars!

Well, if you are wondering who is Cody Ross read below.

CAUTION: Natalie Portman, Tyra and Lady Gaga are only few Hollywood stars that wears Cody Ross!

Cody Ross of Priestess NYC

Don't let the monochrome distressed leather, non-linear shapes and
day-glow iridescence befuddle you: The Dallas-born, NYC-based designer
Cody Ross might seem blindly enveloped in eighties-era motifs;
nonetheless, he is an avant-garde swashbuckler with a penchant for punk
rock, wild geometry and directional unisex designs. It's a predilection
well suited to his artistic yet often outré couture. Ross' asymmetrical
jackets, elongated compression dresses, quirky silk prints (of sperm,
weaponry, piranha and blowfish!) and effulgent outerwear and accessories
have been seen on eye-catching notables Natalie Portman, Tyra and Gaga, to
name a few; and the designer's cool fan base gobbles up his stuff with a
cult-like zeal.

A native of Texas, Ross studied at the LSE in the UK. He worked for a
while in finance before taking up fashion and textile design. To learn his
craft, he took part-time courses in pattern construction at Central Saint
Martins while earning a post-grad degree in quantitative finance. After
working for three years in Shanghai and London, he returned to NYC. In
2008 he launched his own label, PRIESTESS NYC, selling to avant-garde
boutiques, department stores and private clients.

The line’s aesthetic canbe thought of as a blend of transgression, kitsch and street-style. Part‘80s revival, part futurism with a smattering of goth-glam, Priestess NYCencapsulates urban-girl cool with a modern take on punk couture. Think vintage Westwood meets Martin Margiela with a some Jeremy Scott thrown in.Price points are reasonable—from US$150-$650—and can be found in NYC at Destination, Sucre, EVA and Hotoveli. Outside NYC see Em & Co. (LA) SHINE(Tokyo), Ad hoc (China), Ambush (Singapore), UK Style (Russia), etc.Or online at: ShopFatal.com, RevolveClothing.com, HintMag.com and WelcomeHuntersLa.com

ENGINEERED PRINTS

2010-02-25T21:59:00.000-08:00

Sign up for the fashion industry, see the world. Bruno Basso and Christopher Brooke's search for inspiration took them on a two-week trip down the ancient Silk Road to fabled Samarkand, where East originally met West millennia ago. It was a high-risk endeavor (they had to travel with a bodyguard), but it yielded dividends in the overload of colors, patterns, and textures they were exposed to. As per the usual division of labor, Basso translated these into the extraordinary engineered prints that are the duo's signature, and Brooke designed the pieces that carried the prints. The clothes were significantly more straightforward than usual, as Brooke sensibly focused on classic shapes: a parka, a shirtwaister, a coat-dress, or a jersey evening dress that was as simple as an elongated T-shirt from the front but dipped to the tailbone in back. With the prints being such minor masterpieces of complexity, why gild the lily with tricksy constructions?

Brooke also added solids such as a collarless camel coat and a jacket in maroon gabardine, like andante moments in Basso's symphony of color. And what a symphony it was. You know those scenes in Avatar where you just want to stop the movie and work out exactly what it is you're looking at? There were moments like that on the Basso & Brookecatwalk, when the print collages of marble, mosaic, textile, snakeskin, feathers, and gems teased the eye. It was more comprehensible, but scarcely less striking, when a single element was used, like the chevrons of roughly woven fabric printed on a fur-collared coat. The designers also used a new fabric treatment they called "a high-gloss aqua finish," which gave some prints a liquid 3-D sheen that was practically Pandora-perfect in every way.

PENIS IN MOTION

2010-02-25T14:06:00.000-08:00

The well-dressed metrosexual looking for a little something extra can now scoop up a pair of pants with a cloth penis and scrotum stitched to the crotch. The unusual accoutrement, paraded on the Madrid runway thanks to designer Isabel Mastache, isn't for everyone, of course. As Queerty's fashion reviewer declares: "Three words. Do not want."

Ahmm? Isabel, what sizes are still available? Do you have size 12? LMAO!

Alexander McQueen's Plato's Atlantis collection for S/S 2010.

"We are devastated to learn of the death of Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest talents of his generation. He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen’s influence was astonishing — from street style, to music culture and the world’s museums. His passing marks an insurmountable loss."

- Anna Wintour (Vogue Editor)

JEREMY SCOTT FALL 2010

2010-02-19T12:32:00.000-08:00

Waiting for the return of Jeremy Scott in New York Fashion Week is like waiting an angel from heaven. This seasone Jeremy Scoot tells the whole society that everyone can be freak! Hmmmm..

Scott's collection focused on sporty theme. Scott rolled out his signature short club dresses, but this time in more subdued colors like black and gray with a touch of colorful gems. My favorite in his collection is the bat wing sweater where in Style knitted across the front and fashion at the back.

Look after look on both men and women included black leather, gold luggage tags, jeweled crosses, thigh high boots and itty-bitty black club dresses. A very fun and mostly wearable. collection. At the finale, Scott looped the runway to the song “New York State of Mind” by Jay-Z.

This season of Proenza Schouler is different from last season's party girl stayed out beyond her bedtime, in this season Proenza offered a more grown up prep school meets cyber punk. The shoes for this season is to die for as well as the bags which you can actually buy while the show is going on! (FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY!) Now, that is fashion evolution as far as technology is concern. Lazaro and Jack used leather and feather to create such a fabulous accent in their collection.

PHILLIP LIM FALL 2010

2010-02-18T08:08:00.000-08:00

"This season, we're paring down to the essence." -Phillip Lim

Can I say you rock Phillip Lim for using the most rockin runway music for this season. This season Lim was inspired somehow between disco and punk. Now I'm really sure that animal prints are still in the line for 2010, common it's so damn good with Lim's collection. He interpreted his collection by using different varieties of clothes such as black buckled cape, a collarless camel coat edged in black silk, a leopard-print shaved rabbit fur, or a hybrid shearling and tweed toggle coat which is really genius.

Part of the collection are silky trousers, cuffed shorts, glam purple sequins, sheer buff layers, and Swarovski sleeves.

The shoes and bags are to die for because of it's design and details. God, please let me win a lottery so I can buy all the things that I want!

BEYONCE SUED OVER UNDERWEAR

2010-02-17T13:46:00.000-08:00

A scandal has erupted in the international world of fashion, with a Bulgarian designer accusing American singer and model Beyoncé of plagiarism.

Beyoncé had appeared, along with Lady Gaga, in her video entitled "Video Phone", wearing a distinctive set of lingerie.

Iskren Lazarov, a Bulgarian designer, had presented his own creation at the international Triumph Inspiration Award 2009, which had taken place on May 27, while the offending video of Beyoncé was released in November, almost six months later.

The designer has claimed that Beyoncé had stolen his design, which was inspired by Picasso's painting "Girl in a Mirror".

According to reports, a case has now been filed in the Court in Munich, Germany, with a hearing scheduled for February 11. Both parties involved in the dispute - Triumph, the underwear manufacturer, and Sony, the video and music giant, will be represented.

In a move to protect the copyright creation of their Bulgarian designer, Triumph has also taken action to prevent the Beyoncé video from being shown on German TV channels.

MONIQUE LHUILLIER FALL 2010

2010-02-17T11:08:00.000-08:00

The fight is really on with Monique Lhuillier's Fall 2010 collection. Monique's collection was inspired by Asian warriors. She used red and crimson as the dominant color scheme and dragon printed which is truly a bomb in her collection. Looking into Monique's collection is like watching a live war but this time only fierce models are allowed to fight.

Lace, Tulle and Chiffon are the toppings for Monique's Fall 2010 collection plus the fact that she wanted her collection to be more edgier so she created stronger silhouettes.

Some of Monique's client are Kristin Bell, Drew Barrymore, Eva Mendes, Leona Lewis, etc.

Three pictures taken from Lady Gaga's "Telephone" music video shoot have been revealed. They mostly highlight on the dance queen sans her featured guest Beyonce. One of the snaps sees her playing a waitress and bringing two plates full of meals in her left hand.

The video is directed by Jonas Akerlund and will pick up where the storyline of "Paparazzi" video left off. It is suggested that the video will follow GaGa when she is put behind the bars and rescued by Beyonce.

HERE COMES THE ARMADILLO CAMPAIGN AD

2010-01-25T23:01:00.000-08:00

I don't know if all of you are amazed with Alexander McQueen S/S 2010 collection but I am definitely amazed with it. The shoes and dress fits perfectly with each other. Even though catwalkers Abbey Lee Kershaw, Natasha Poly and Sasha Pivovarova quit the show in protest.

These catwalker gave up for the Armadillo Heels but not for Daphne Guinness and Lady Gaga who are braved enough to work these monstrous heels sans bloodshed. Truly this Armadillo Heels created a big bang in the fashion industry.

After the show, here comes the very slithering campaign ad of Alexander Mcqueen S/S 2010. Modeled by Brazilian beauty Raquel Zimmerman who also did the Chloe Campaign. Raquel really did a good job with this shot together with her snakes or should I call them minions? Establishing a high fashion pose together with numerous snakes is not a joke. This is really shocking!

I'M WEAKER THAN YOU KNOW

2010-01-21T19:21:00.000-08:00

The 32 yr. old singer John Mayer gets shirtless and shared his intimate life with Rolling Stone Magazine. I need to wipe my saliva, any hanky? Gosh, I didn't know that this guy has something to offer as far as sexual fantasy is concern. Here is a recap on what John Mayer shared with Rolling Stone Magazine. Can I just hold that guitar? or maybe touch your tattoo?

On the break-up: “I’ve never really gotten over it. It was one of the worst times of my life.” He adds: “Im the (jerk). I burned the American flag. I basically murdered an ideal.”

On settling down: “I’ll be happy when I close out this life-partner thing. Think of how much mental capacity I’m using to meet the right person so I can stop giving a fuck about it.”

On his split with ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston: ”I’ve never really gotten over it. It was one of the worst times of my life… I have this weird feeling, a pride thing, for the people I’ve had relationships with. What would I be saying to Jen, who I think is f—ing fantastic, if I said to her, ŒI don’t dislike you. In fact, I like you extremely well. But I have to back out of this because it doesn’t arc over the horizon. This is not where I see myself for the rest of my life,this is not my ideal destiny.”

On his sex life becoming an endless loop of new girls rejecting him in clubs: ”Blowing me off is the new sucking me off!”

In finding a girlfriend: “Do you think it’s going to take meeting someone who I admire more than I admire myself? But isn’t it also about a beautiful vagina? Aren’t we talking about a matrix of a couple of different things here? Like, you need to have them be able to go toe-to-toe with you intellectually. But don’t they also have to have a vagina you could pitch a tent on and just camp out on for, like, a weekend? Doesn’t that have to be there, too? The Joshua Tree of vaginas? …I’ll be happy when I close out this life-partner thing. Think of how much mental capacity I’m using to meet the right person so I can stop giving a f–k about it.”

On his relationships: “All I want to do now is f–k the girls I’ve already f–ked, because I can’t fathom explaining myself to somebody who can’t believe I’d be interested in them, and they’re going, ŒBut you’re John Mayer! So I’m going backwards to move forward. I’m too freaked out to
meet anybody else.”

On masturbation : “I am the new generation of masturbator. I’ve seen it all. Before I make coffee, I’ve seen more butt holes than a proctologist does in a week.”

On if he pleasures himself daily: “I don’t like that question, because it seeks to make me sound strange if I say ‘ŒYes, but of course I do.’ I mean, I have masturbated myself out of serious problems in my life. The phone doesn’t pick up because I’m masturbating. And I have excused myself at the oddest times so as to not make mistakes. If Tiger Woods only knew when to jerk off. It has a true market value, like gold bullion. First of all, I don’t jerk off because I’m horny. I’m sort of half-chick. It’s like District 9. I can fire alien weapons. I can insert a tampon. No, I do it because I want to take a brain bath. It’s like a hot whirlpool for my brain, in a brain space that is 100 percent agreeable with itself.”

On the paparazzi: “I’ll be honest with you. All this weird s–t about me? All this strangeness? I wouldn’t have a music career without it. But I am at odds with myself. I have some presence of psychological damage from the past 36 months. I have not had a woman appear in my dreams sexually without a paparazzi in the dream too. I can’t even have a wet dream without having to explain to someone who’s grinding on me, ŒWe can’t do this right now, because there’s a guy over there taking pictures.”

Mayer recently tweeted:

“Just read my Rolling Stone cover article. I’m still not sure if I would want to hang out with me.”

HAPPINESS IS A FORM OF COURAGE

2010-01-16T19:55:00.000-08:00

Sometimes we are looking for solution in our problem but we are not aware that the solution we are looking for is just a smile away. Just do whatever that makes you happy no matter what, it's the best therapy in life.

Happiness uplifts me

Happiness fills my heart, my mind, and my soul

Happiness gives me the strength I need

Happiness is a good feeling that enters my mind each day

Happiness takes my sadness away

Happiness fills my eyes with joy

Happines makes me excited and thrilled

Happines warms my heart and soul each day

Happiness gives me a sense of relief each day

Happiness welcomes me each morning when I get up

Happiness can be seen in my eyes

UNDERWEAR AS OVERWEAR

2010-01-06T09:44:00.000-08:00

As far as sexuality is concerned wearing this lingerie as your outerwear is prohibited for guys. I can't even visualize myself wearing this one while walking down the street. Enough!

According to tfs this year is the return of underwear as overwear. More people nowadays are not shy wearing underwear over their top and exposed them in public. The hell! No one will be in TMZ for doing this except if your popularity rate is like Little Lohan. Sexy corsets, sheer fabric, hot garters and feathers are making their way onto ready-to-wear runways. Vintage lingerie is making a strong comeback into day looks while sexy, slnky cover ups are being strutted around the streets.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2009-12-31T13:47:00.001-08:00

Are you ready to holler some Rawr! Ladies and Gentlemen 2009 is officially ended, let's all take in 2010 with a big hug because this year is Year of the Tiger! Let's locomote our claws for fashion and look forward for this year to be a futuristic one.

"Tiger people are sensitive, given to deep thinking, capable of great sympathy. They can be extremely short-tempered, however. Other people have great respect for them, but sometimes tiger people come into conflict with older people or those in authority. sometimes Tiger people cannot make up their minds, which can result in a poor, hasty decision or a sound decision arrived at too late. They are suspicious of others, but they are courageous and powerful. Tigers are most compatible with Horses, Dragons, and Dogs"

Happy New Year everyone! Cheers.

CARRIE ON 2

2009-12-23T10:05:00.000-08:00

Spare me some time to breath because I'm really shocked and super amazed with the Sex and the City 2 trailer! Yes! You read it right, the 4 New York Girls are back with their new babies? Babies meaning Luxury Items. Hello, let's admit it one of the best fashion movies is Sex and the City from it's sophisticated casts to it's fabulous wardrobe. Can anyone say Lanvin please? Seriously speaking since Sex and the City series was shown in HBO I became an avid fan! They are like my bestfriends even though I didn't meet Carrie or any of the girls personally I can relate with the story plus the fact that it can bring a huge smile to my face while watching it.

Here's the amazing poster and trailer of the movie! I'll bet that my tears will fall from my eyes again just like in the Sex and the City 1.

On May 28th. THE FRIENDSHIP. THE FUN. THE FASHION. Get Carried Away!

Grab a quick coffee with Coi De Jesus at Starbucks last friday. They moved in from there house in Cubao to a very sophisticated condominium here in Mandaluyong that's why we can hang out more often, drink more coffee and hits some cigars together. Luckily Starbucks are near in our houses, we can choose from 4 different Starbucks (along shaw blvd., bldg. in-front of starmall, shang-rila and megamall) The only thing that we don't like with the Starbucks in Shaw Blvd. is that they don't have seats outside that's why we need to sit down inside and just go out if we want to smoke (see pictures for proof!). I really love what Coi is wearing that day, like OMG!! Spell Glamorous! I super like!

Movie date with my girlfriends (Rhaine, Chy and Toni) at Gateway Mall then coffee afterwards. We watched 2012, The movie is impressive for me as far as special effects is concern but somehow I find parts of the movie that is really weird. Based on my point of view there is a possibility that things that shown on 2012 might happen in real world if we are going to sabotage our mother earth. So let's just avoid throwing our trash anywhere. Our country is not a trash can it is our home. If you want to have a trash can HELLO!!! there is a place where in you can get one! Lastly, let's all spell "STOP POLLUTION!"

Sorry for the late update guys. I've been busy for my school works since 2012 premiered in cinema! Oh btw, blame it also to my Cafe World account in Facebook. Sorry for the 4th picture I really can't help it.

I'm so into Lomo Editing right now I really don't know why but there is something in Lomo photos that I really really love. Shots taken from our meeting in ABS-CBN for our Studio Tour that turned out to be our claim to fame. It's really funny because we are only having our bitchy conversation and then a gay approached us and asked if we want to be talents for Banana Split (It's a Philippine base sitcom) Upon hearing that great invitation my ears are just like OMG! Well it's a long story but I'll cut it because I'm really sleepy right now.

THE MARSHALL TOLD US THAT THE SHOOTING WILL BE AN OVERNIGHT SHOOT CONTRARY FROM WHAT WE HAD AGREED WITH THE GAY THAT APPROACHED US EARLIER. SINCE THERE IS A MISUNDERSTANDING WITH THE TIME WE DECIDED NOT TO PURSUE THE SHOOT BECAUSE IT WILL AFFECT OUR PLANS FOR THE EVENING.

National Tv, maybe next time. At least we had fun and we saw Zanjoe M. TOPLESS.

Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain of smoking effects on the body often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.

Really harmful aha? Nothing to worry now because we can take down that harmful effects with this electronic smoking.You have a choice now on how you want to smoke your e-cigarette:

I just can't believe what is on for me this month of November, as far as I am concern people in Chictopia are so kind because they gave me a chance to be a style icon for the month of December. All I need to do is gather a lot of fans because the top 3 Chictopians who acquired a numerous number of fans at the end of the month becomes the style icon for December. So I browse for my photos and find something that I can post in the web. Here it is! It's Coi's Birthday in Diamond Hotel Manila. It was a fun night for all of us though Coi is sick during that time, but that doesn't stop is from making her day a very special day! It's really important to spend some quality time together not only with your family but also with your friends. I guess we accomplished that with this night full of fun!

You can help me by creating an active account again ACTIVE account, meaning you will not just create some account because you just want to vote for me but you want to join Chictopia too. Try it, it's so nice and chic that is why it's Chictopia.

I'm wearing: Penshoppe Hoodie Shirt, Random Skinny Jeans and Adidas Shoes

VISITING ""THE SOBELAD"

2009-11-04T11:50:00.000-08:00

JAMES VICTOR MANALO

1990-2009

It was Rj's birthday and we decided to celebrate his day w/ James a.k.a "the soberlad" who died last September 20, 2009 at the age of 19 because of bone cancer. It's pretty amazing where James is lying because the place is well maintained (at least I know that James is really happy). Though we had a hard time finding James marker maybe James is giving us a test good thing we passed it. My tears are about to let go from my eyes when we started to put some candles while talking to him but I didn't let it to happen because I know James will be upset. Instead we walked around and the security caught us taking some pictures of the temple which is prohibited. I just told the security that we will not take our camera out again, but I can't help it so we find a spot wherein there is no security.

We stayed up until night through the cold breeze in the cemetery after a while we decided to go home. We were shaking while walking because it's dark and it's far from the main gate but we survived the creepy things.

Oh, btw watch James Videos in Youtube, he's a very versatile artist.

THESIS-ING

2009-10-22T12:50:00.000-07:00

Ok, before anything else THE WAIT IS OVA! I'm really excited about Rihanna's upcoming Album, it will be out in the market this coming November so I need to save my bucks!

It's been a while since my last update here in my blog. I've been really busy for the past few weeks, to the point that I can't manage to go online. Sarry for that. Well I have a friend of mine who is doing her Photography Thesis (Streetfashion) I don't know if it's right for her to get me as her model and let me do some unexpected poses in the streets. Actually I'm kinda loving it, except for the fact that I almost got hit by a Van in the shoot because I keep on crossing in the pedestrian lane. Good thing I'm still alive and kicking! The short that I'm wearing here is my very own DIY, I made this for my demin paint plate for Composition.

Shoot collaborated with my very close friend Coi De Jesus, see what I'm saying about? I love her look! She really worked out my purse!

The pictures above are not the approved photos for my friend's thesis so I guess we need to wait until next year to see the approved poses.

REMINISCE

2009-10-10T11:28:00.000-07:00

What do you think will happen if someone will be stock-up in his/her room alone? Besides from the fact that he/she is scared, I’m sure it’s time for him/her to reminisce some good or even bad experiences in life. While I was drunk I manage to turn on my laptop (thank god!) that’s a miracle for me! Swear I was not in the mood for blogging thing but it just happen. I browse down my photos as I found these photos of mine and my friends. This place is in Libingan ng mga Bayani while we are having our fun shots w/ one another! LOL! Well, at least I’m happy to have my feet standing in that cemetery because not everyone can go there instantly. Good thing we have connections, bad thing the security is so tight! Once you managed to go inside, the security is not that tight.

LOUIS VUITTON S/S 2010 FULL SHOW

2009-10-09T14:43:00.000-07:00

HQ Vidoes of Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2010 fashion show by Marc Jacobs. According to critiques, they are not impressed with the Louis Vuiiton collection for this Spring/Summer. Specifically with the new designs of bagella (gaylingo for bag) which by the way I really admire. LOL! For me the bags are so chich and fab, I know it has something to do w/ other previous bag designs but WHAT THE HELL! As long as it's LV it's fab! In additon don't you think it's time for us to expose ourselves with something new? A classic LV Monogram won't always save you from fashion police. Well I must say that each of everyone of us have different fashion taste.

If you hate the bags, i hate the shoes! LOL! The shoes at part 1 of the videos are messed up!

LV Insolite Wallets added three diferent colors (Petrole, Orange, and Vert Bronze). I love the new colors because it has a strong appeal for any event, much like Lily Bass of Gossip Girl! LOL! I'm craving for all! Anyhow, I will blog about the S/S 2010 of LV later after school, I've read a lot of NEGATIVE comments about the collection blaming Marc Jacobs! I just don't believe it!

PREVIOUS COLORS OF LV INSOLITE WALLETS ARE POSTED BELOW:

(WHICH ONE DO YOU LIKE?)

The Insolite Wallet measures an unusual size of 8.3" x 4.3". One advantage about this wallet is that you can actually you work it out as a clutch not a wallet. (Now that makes your money all worthy!) It has a zipper and double snap button closure for double protection. The Insolite also has 2 zipped pockets and 12 credit card slots. The zipper pulls are made from leather with the same color with the wallet's grained calfskin inside lining.

TAYLOR M. VS SHAKIRA

2009-10-02T10:03:00.000-07:00

Both Taylor Momsen and Shakira were seen wearing the exact plaid tunic top to red carpet events. Taylor Momsen go with the simple plaid tunic top, necklace, a scarlet inspired lips (which I really love) and peep-toe boots, which I think is a must have in this season anyway. On the other hand Shakira go with the plain tunic top, leggings and a peep-toe pumps or I should say killer boots. So, who do you think pulls the look off best?

Im wearing: Splatter Wayfarer Shades, Heart Necklace, Ralph Lauren Shirt, Riders Jeans Cuff Shorts, Gold Chained Black Caviar Purse, Black Gladiator Shoes

September 20 it was my brother birthday, the celebration of his birthday will be on our unfinished rest house in Rizal. We drove from Manila to Rizal just to attend his birthday, I must say it’s so exhausting! Tons of his “drinking” visitors came over to celebrate his day. Here’s the mainline, one of my close friends died that day. After receiving a sms from a friend I want to go home so I can see him a bit faster but I’m really stock, Rizal is far from Manila I don’t think a cab (if there is a cab) will agree. It’s just I’m really so sad right now, he’s been my inspiration for all categories in life.

Anyway, the gladiator shoes that I’m wearing in the picture is my own design, I hired a shoemaker to execute it in real life.

Since last year I was acclaimed by my friends that I'm a total gladiator addict. I don't know if I need to believe them since I only owned 2 gladiator sandals, one was bought by my mom and the other one was custom-made. Though I must admit that in every outfit I always look for a way wherein I can paired my gladiator sandals in it. Gladiators are way cooler that other plain flats, I like to use them they are all fierce sometimes they make you fierce. Lastly, they always steal the spotlight, don't you like it? While you are walking you don't even notice that all are staring at you because you are wearing that fabulous gladiator.

SOFHIA COPPOLA LV COLLECTION NOW AVAILABLE!

"I had an idea of what I was looking for and couldn't find... I think it must be every woman's fantasy to dream up an ideal bag and shoe. It was great to be able to make exactly what you want."

"My idea of Louis Vuitton was of a company with a great heritage and great quality, and working with them solidified this."

"Lauren Hutton is one of my fashion heroines. I had her in mind when we did the Monogram pochette."

"I put myself in everything I do."

"It was great to be able to make exactly what you want"

"For the day bags, I wanted classic colors that could go with everything and you wouldn't get tired of, but weren't black."

"It was great to look at all the materials they have available at Louis Vuitton. They showed me beautiful things once I told them what I was looking for."

"For the sandals, I worked with Fabrizio, the shoe expert. While I was speaking, describing what I wanted, he would draw it at the same time. That was cool."

"The idea is that the city bag fits all of your things during the day. And that you can keep the clutch inside and slip it out at night. Or you can do what I do, which is leave the day bag at home, with your work behind, and then take the clutch out in the evening."

Slim Suede Coal ($1,400) and Slim Suede Asphalt ($1,400)

Slim Lambskin Gold ($1,400)

SC Bag Monogram ($2,250)

SC Bag Suede Asphalt ($3,730)

Acclaimed Actress, director, producer and screen writer Sofhia Coppola Louis Vuitton Collection is now available in Market. After months and months of planning here it goes baby ready to use ! I just browsing tweets in twitter and I rehd the tweet of Louis Vuitton Us about this article and OMG! I'm so effin obsessed with these bag and clutch designs. They all look fab and fierce, dah it's Louis Vuitton what else can you ask for? These bag and clutches are now ready to buy through www.louisvuitton.com or just google it and find an online shop who has a cheaper price, but be careful faux Louis Vuitton are all over the world.

It was raining the whole day yesterday but that doesn’t stop me from going to my Alma Mater (DBTC) with my closest friends. Actually the reason why we went there is because we want to watch the Intramurals Opening but it turns out very disappointing (i guess? or it’s just the weather that made me disappoint). Anyway, it was so much fun having my friends around smoking till our lungs cry. Went to Ian’s Crib after because he promised to treat us for some cocktails.
