Contrary to what people think, I think Gywneth looks positively ravishing with that messy updo and those breathtaking shoes. Of course, with legs like that, any type of shoes will do. Don't mind my picture quality, but she looked much better in real life then she does in my pictures.
Remember Marilyn in that sheer gold dress for "How to Marry a Millionaire"? Well, there's a prefect resemblance to that gorgeous dress in Net-a-porter. I am afraid however that the price is far far away from my line. My bank manager is currently on a holiday and he very blandly told me not to give him a heart attack while he was tanning himself on the beaches.
But isn't it just perfect? Would you buy it if you had that amount of cash to blow?
Buy the temperley london dress here. (£1,097)
When I saw Emmy Rossum in this long dress, I thought she looked okay. I am not a big fan of this dress and found it to be quite unflattering on her.
Then I saw Jenna Jameson playing with this dress and truth be told, I am quite confused.
What's the big deal with this dress? I know yellow is big right now and I admit to the fact that my cupboard is currently on the verge of bursting with this colour but this dress...too common don't you think?
Been there, done that kinda sort.
The question is: who wears it better?
Yesterday was my niece's and nephew's birthday. The twins turned four and they looked so adorable in the dresses I got for them! Both of them are the
cutest kids ever and so terribly sweet!
Here's what I got for my niece:
$80.00, Dimples and Dandelions
$24.00, Dimples and Dandelions
And for my nephew:
$40.00, Dimples and Dandelions
$34.95, Nordstrom
When it comes to splurging on the kids, nothing can stop me. I run behind them in the shops, hoping they won't pick up the most expensive thing like they do all the time (They take after
their aunt in their taste) but when they smile at me innocently with big eyes, clutching a box tightly, I hand out my credit card silently to the very amused shop assistant.
Sigh.
I love love love this bag! The colour is gorgeously orange and the zip on the side adds a classic touch. However, like all things in my treasure chest, this is way above my budget.
And if I somehow do manage to come up with the amount, which I very much doubt, this bag isn't actually my type. I'm always on the move and this bag has the colour that will just attract all the dirt available in India.
I knew I shouldn't have gone to Net-a-Porter. Why do I manage to torture myself all the time??
£1,025 in Net-a-Porter. Buy it.
Wanna wear fish scales to office or a party?
Well, now you can!
I am not even joking although I wish I was! These are real shoes, one that are meant to be worn, although don't ask me why because anyone with half a brain can guess that these are...fish bones.
And Jewelled.
Am I missing something here? Like a new trend or something cause in my world, you know, fish bones are supposed to end up in the rubbish bin where they rightly belong.
However, if you do want to buy it, don't let my ramblings stop you.
Buy it for $850.00.
Guess who's gracing the cover of Vogue US in May?
Yup, Gwyneth Paltrow. And my god, she looks different. And not even in a bad way!
Gwyneth Paltrow is not known for her fashion sense to the world but this Oscar De La Renta dress on her completely changes my outlook towards her.
Her make up is heavy and the shoots are to promote Paltrow's new movie but you don't see me complaining.
What do I say?
Rock on Paltrow! 
I understand if you suddenly jump back in horror after seeing this. I had a similar reaction. My niece who was beside me, shrieked and is currently hiding under the bed, refusing to come out.
Hey he's just two! He can't distinguish between Evan Rachel Wood and Cruella De Ville now, can he?
Whoever dressed Rachel and applied that make up needs to be fired.
Honey, you're going to a premiere, not to a fun reunion gathering with ol' vampire buddies.
I can just imagine a line of blood slowly drooling out of her mouth.
Dark stained lips, Black nail polish, pale skin...need I go on?
The dress was almost bearable. Keyword: Almost.
Sigh.
Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon has always been one of my favorite celebrities. I think she's a great
woman to be inspired from. She's
featuring in More Magazine this month and wow! She looks stunning!
I don't know how celebs do it. Over forty and still so beautiful.
Okay, maybe I do. But that's not the point.
She looks dazzling in the turquoise dresses. Her hair and makeup...
Priceless. 
"When I was 20, I think I needed to be told, 'Don't only do things you can control.
Risk a lot more.' Now it's great to be taking risks." - Nixon.
More Magazine hits stands soon.
Every ship has crew members and here's what the crew members of
Fashion Pirate Ship are wearing this week:
$88.00, Arden B
$167.00, James 5
The members of the Ship are going through a phase with the colour red now so all of us opted for bold splashes of red in shoes and bags. But with that gorgeous printed halter, actually any
suitable bold colour will do. It will make the outfit rather exciting, don't you think? 
$174.95, Charles David
$345.00, Dooney and Bourke
So, are you a fashionable pirate?
I see strapless gowns everywhere now, its become like a uniform among celebrities and even among my own peers. Which I, am happy to say, don't mind at all! I love how the strapless sweet heart necklines flatter collar bones and jaw lines.
It seems I am not the only one to believe this. The premiere of 'Prom Night' had most of the
stars trailing down the red carpet looking hawt in their strapless gowns.
Brittany Snow looked completely like she was heading for a prom and I so so love her in this
dress! I think she looked like the ultimate prom queen with that flawless make up and jewellery. Those gorgeous chandelier earrings are currently in my 'Must Have!!' List and
she's done well choosing golden strappy sandals with her outfit. Thumbs up for Brittany!
I really actually had no idea who was Minka Kelly before seeing this picture. So far, she seems rather sweet doesn't she?
Although I don't really like those shoes with her dress, she looks good.
The word which comes to mind, however, is plain.
Jessica Stroup has a great body so she even managed to look sexy in this purple fusion of ugly dreams. This dress could have been a pretty one had it not been that flowery part sticking to
her dress on the left. Instead of adding character to the dress, it just ruins the whole effect.
Tsk Tsk. Such a Pity.
Nicole Richie sure knows how to look good. Infact, I think she is one of the most well dressed celebs at the moment. Doesn't she just look fab in this strapless Missoni gown? I'm so glad she looks alive and healthy now. There was a time when she scared me with her unnatural skinniness.
What do you think pirates?
Kelly Preston has always been one of my favorite celebs. Do not ask me why for I don't know it myself but I just like her. Her face has this sweet look that you can't help but like her.
But I was really disappointed with her choice of dress. The dress looked terrible on her and she muddled it even further by adding those hideous tights and the black heels.
Oh, why do good celebs insist on spoiling their image??
When I saw this picture on the web, my first action was, "Oh my!".
Gwyneth Paltrow, who usually turns my hair grey by wearing non sense, for once wore something which actually flattered her. And the hair! So very adorable!
Liz Hurley looked so different, I couldn't register her for a second. I am so used to seeing her with long gowns with slits, this was totally unexpected.
She looks mighty elegant, don't you think? (Places Gwyneth and Liz Hurley in Fashion Greats)
Evelyn Lauder however looked like she was wearing my aunt's curtains. I am not kidding, my aunt is horribly obsessed with pink and a colour like the one Evelyn is wearing is hanging in her bedroom. Think she deserves a position in our Fashion Horrors?
There is something timeless about the old Hollywood Actresses. I can never get sick of seeing Audrey Hepburn in 'Roman Holiday', Grace Kelly in 'To Catch a Thief' or Marilyn Manroe in 'The Seven Year Itch.'
Grace Kelly
Marilyn Monroe
Audrey Hepburn
