Thakoon Tasaki Jewellery.

I love pearls and that's not a secret. When I first laid eyes on Thakoon's collection for Japanese jeweller, Tasaki, it was love at first sight. I love how simple the pieces are yet they bring upon a little funk to a classic "string of pearls". My favourite piece is the necklace.

Quoted from Thakoon:

“I really wanted to just go back to the DNA of what Tasaki’s about, which is beautiful pearls, beautiful materials and beautiful diamonds,” Panichgul said during a press presentation at the Grand Hyatt. “It’s working with the materials, making them feel a bit more sculptural as well, and modern. I wanted to put some youthful spirit into pearls.” “There’s a tradition here, and they respect that, but they want to move forward as well and make it very modern,”

His pieces can be bought online through Colette.

Lanvin for H&M: The First Wave.

The first wave for Lanvin for H&M has swept through North America. On the 18th Nov, there was a fashion show at Pierre Hotel, NY which the dresses were reworked and to be auctioned off to benefit UNICEF. Check out the auction site which also has 5 Alber Elbaz sketches up for grabs. I think that would make great art for any Lanvin fan.

On the 20th Nov, H&M opened its stores to crowds of people queuing to get their hands on the much hyped designs. Check out the video.

Lanvin Loves Hennes And Mauritz (H&M)

It's no secret. I love Lanvin. I want to eat in, live in, dream in, marry in and die in Lanvin. Alber Elbaz is a genius. He designed clothes for the today women to be strong yet fragile in. The Lanvin for H&M collection will be for sale at shops around the world on the 23rd of Nov. Apart from the dresses, accessories, there is also a lipstick and fishnets. Personally some of the dresses are a rehash of some of the most iconic pieces that he has done, I have nothing against that (or will I ever against Lanvin) because it is affordable and who says style has to be expensive. Even the rich sometimes can't buy grace or style. Will I be getting any? But of course. With much trouble, I managed to streamline the pieces that I want really badly. Fingers crossed that the buyer manages to get her hands on them and I just might have something Lanvin for Christmas.

The mens collection is also very desirable. I love his tuxedo shirts and suits. My favourite piece from the mens wear is the old-school blazer.

Today's Outfit.

I'm just thinking if I could wear anything (as in own anything and everything), what would I be wearing today? I think this would be my combination. I love every item in this list. Gorgeous.

Maison Martin Margiela Unfinished Leather Pump.

Dries Van Noten Silk Printed Clutch.

Franck Muller Cintree Curvex Watch in Yellow Gold and Diamonds.

Nina Ricci Shoes.

Nina Ricci has such a good sense of humour when it comes to shoes. Their spring/summer 2010 shoes made good evidence of that (images 2 - 4). They have a touch of vintage and new all rolled into one. They also had a collection of very queer shoes a season ago. When i first saw it, I thought it looked more like sculpture or something you'd put on display rather than wear. You wonder how easy is it for the normal non-model folks to wear them? Judging from one of the most famous fashion patron, Daphne Guinness (in the first photo) not easy at all. Kudos to her for making it out of home.

Acne/Lanvin 2010.

It was because of last year's Acne/Lanvin collaboration that I started to sit up and notice Acne. Now both brands have become my absolute favourites. One of my favourite Acne pieces come from their pop classic range, the copy shirt. I love it. It's so easy to wear and comfortable.

This year, the pieces that Lanvin has come up with for Acne brings to mind two different looks, studded and drapery. I love the first denim dress especially. Immaculate cutting and lovely drapery. And who says that you can't be dressy in denim?

Liberty for Fred Perry's Blank Canvas.

Liberty is really hitting the sweet spot for me. First was the Merci collaboration and now they did a collection for Fred Perry's Blank Canvas. It is slated to be in Fred Perry Laurel stores in April this year. I love the first polo. I am keeping my fingers crossed that there might be a couple of pieces for the ladies.

Cacharel Spring 2010.

Ever since I was a kid, I loved Cacharel. My dad would buy me Cacharel kid's clothes and I swear by them. They are the most beautiful. I love their prints and fun style. Now as an adult, I still do adore their looks, more so their recent years than before. The Spring /Summer collection that is in stores are really rather dreamy and have a great silhouette. These are some of my favourites. Enjoy.

Lanvin Spring 2010.

I absolutely adore the new Lanvin spring collection. I love wearing black because it is one of the easiest colours to wear. With the right cutting and accessories, it can be dressed up or down. It looks good for work as well as play. The spring collection focuses a lot on simple colours with beautiful shapes and volume. Classic and elegant.

10 Corso Como for Liberty of London.

Liberty of London famous for their prints has collaborated with 10 Corso Como creating a capsule collection for Spring/Summer 2010. I love the vintage inspired prints especially on the bikini. The only way you can get your hands on them is through the 10 Corso Como online shop.

Have fun shopping.
