CULTURE CORNER

"Let me tell you a secret, something they don't teach you in your temple. The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be more lovely than you are now. We will never be here again." - Archilles, Troy.

"IT"

Patricia Field For La Rue Flex Messenger Bag

from the motion picture The Devil Wears Prada




This season’s must-have accessory has to be the Patricia Field bag as featured in the film with the fashionista-following; The Devil Wears Prada. This limited edition bag designed by infamous Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field is sure to be an instant sell-out! Although it is plastic, not the leather material as the original in the movie, but it sure is a star.

RED CARPET FASHION


Those who shined...


Uma Thurman
Donatella Versace knows how to make a seriously sexy dress and Uma Thurman has just the body to wear it. This long, pale, intricately detailed dress on the red carpet has all the classic Greek goddess appeal.

Judi Dench
Judi Dench is one classy lady. This long, flowing gown and matching coat in cool, elegant tones of silver and mint is perfect: regal but a bit bohemian at the same time. I even love her matching kitten heels!

Sandra Oh

Beautiful body in a beautiful dress in a stunning colour. Sandra Oh is becoming a fashion icon.


Michelle Williams
I love this dress Michelle Williams wore for Oscar 2006. Wrapped in vintage romantic chiffon of one rich delicious egg yolk color, paired up with her bright ketchup red lipstick. This look is so tough to carry -- but she carries it so well!


Jennifer Lopez
This green is the the shade of green that I love -- I have a velvet lab coat in this shade and I still wear it. It makes me think of rich green moss all along a small pond.


Those who just couldn't even with All ACCESS...


Naomi Watts

Washed out, worn in, and what's next? Fluffy, greyish pink (and a gold clutch?) with her pale skin tones and pale makeup. Tsk, tsk, tsk.



Reese Witherspoon
I like the silver embroideries, but limited to decorative mode only. This is overdone and Reese resembles a 20-tiered wedding cake instead of a princess on red carpet in this 1955 Christian Dior's toilet-roll dolly dress.


Mariah Carey

Ladies, she is wearing a CHANEL!! A CHANEL! And she looks... sigh... this tells you, even with billions and billions of dollars, you can still f**k up a couture.



Cynthia Nixon
During the 63rd Annual Golden Globes, January 16, 2006, this Sex and the City star looks like she pulled out an old prom dress and decided it's good enough for red carpet. She looked like a giant, gift-wrapped eggplant.

Fashion Meme
Thanks to Boobap and the youth magazine Seventeen, here's another meme just for fun. I'm not going to tag anyone -- if you would like do this meme, just let me know -- I'll love to read it!
  1. What's your hair colour: Medium Dark Brown.

  2. Your skin tone (see chart): Light to Medium Midtone-Asian

  3. Your eye colour: Dark brown

  4. Your favorite fashion colour (to wear): I like moss green. Normally I wear neutral -- black, lavender, navy blue, moss green, and gold. When I'm playfu, I adore pink, cerulean, and reds. (I admire and envy girls who dig vintage clothes, carry a bob, and wear fire-engine red lipstick, but that look just doesn't work for me.)

  5. Tell us about your personal style: Comfortable, neo-classic, flirty, unique. To be honest, anything to avoid being too cute (gag!). The part about comfort is absolutely true -- I'll wear anything and everything that feels good against my skin.

  6. What's your favorite designer/brand? Miu Miu Prada, Marc Jacob, Tom Ford (although I can't afford anything that he's designed so far), Club Monaco, and Guess? Marciano.

  7. What are your favorite pieces in your wardrobe? I have a lot of dresses, and a few formal pieces. I love my shoes... and my flip-flops. I found these suede flip-flops in Toronto for $14 a pair. They have faux jewels, and suede soles -- they feel amazing against my feet. So I bought myself 1/2 a dozen before flying to hong kong. Best ever. I do that, when I find something I love and it's cheap?!, I buy in bulk.

  8. What do you usually buy? Anything affordable, and whatever makes me feel good when I wear it -- but I almost NEVER pay full price for clothes (Once, I splurged on a black Guess? Marciano short winter jacket full price. That's it.) I'm cheap, I hate to part with my money.

  9. Where do you usually shop? Designer warehouse discount sales, second-hand stores, boutique shops, sometimes designer retail stores and Lane Crawford/Holt Renfrew; I also scout alot on ebay - my friends and roommate would make fun of me and call me "The Ebay Queen".

  10. What city are you located? Hong Kong

  11. Would you recommend people to travel to your city, and for what? Yes, highly recommend! Hong Kong is a shopping paradise, and it is incredibly efficient. Speed, speed, speed!
