Trend Watch: Trouser/ Wide Legged Jeans

Skinny jeans were everywhere since late 2005 and now I think the fashion world is actually coming back to boot cut and trouser wide leg jeans. Wide Leg jeans are comfortable, can carry you from day to night. They look tailored and streamlined and you don't have to really worry about having to be skinny to wear it.The celebs are already switching over from skinny to wide leg check out how great Angie Harmon, Sandra Bullock and Eva Mendes looks on the Red Carpet in Wide Leg Jeans:



My favorite is "Faye" from Citizens of Humanity - I really like the wash on this one.


7 for all Mankind's Dojo in Barcelona:


Rich and Skinny's Lush Wide Leg jeans have a little bit of shine in them:


And Here is Penelope Cruz and Jessica Alba looking casual in wide leg jeans:

I'm ready to go get my wide leg trouser jeans. Where are you getting yours?

Hot or Not? Cameron Diaz on TRL

Cameron Diaz was on MTV's TRL yesterday to promote her new film SHREK 3 and she was rocking a halter top Jeans overall skirt(?). Check it out:



At first I was confused by the outfit, and because I have never liked overalls, I thought a big "NO" but it sort of grew on me, y'all. I would never wear it but Cameron pulls it off really well.

Here she is again with Rihanna (who looks hot, so you don't have to vote for her):



But what I want to know is, what do you think? Is this outfit Hot on Cameron or Not?

Metropolitan Museum of Art's "Poiret: King of Fashion" Costume Institute Gala 2007

I love Costume galas. A chance to see my favourite leading ladies dress up and put forth their best. Here is a highlight of "best dressed" and the "what were they thinking?" pictures of all the lovely ladies in attendance.

I heart Cameron and she looks really great in that purple/fuschia dress:


Elegant as always, Miss Jennifer Lopez. I was going to post a picture of her posing on the red carpet with Marc Anthony but really, he looked like death warmed over, so I chose not to.


La Lohan:

Representing the Asian Americans - Miss Lucy Liu looking lovely


I do think the dress on Renee Zellwellger is a little bland but her smile makes up for it.

I don't really care for Scarlett's hair to be so bleached but I do like her dress:


This almost went in the "what were they thinking pile" but the more I looked at Kate Bosworth, the more I liked her look.


Rihanna!

The legendary Miss Anna Wintour. I dare not critique the queen of Vogue on her style, but I do wonder what she would look like with a different haircut. Imagine the "Rachael" on her. :)


And I pondered a while over Ashley Olsen's look but I think she looks pretty good over all in the Grecian inspired dress. She even walked the red carpet arms in arms with Christian Louboutin, so I am guessing he approved her attire and if Mr. Louboutin himself is ok with this look, I'm ok too.


And here it is: The "what were they thinking" section.

I want to like Mary Kate Olsen's crazy looks, I do, but this furry ensemble?


I'm not sure what to say about Amanda's dress or the suit on the guy standing behind her. Maybe they have the same stylist?

Claire Danes's dress reminds me of Christmas wrapping paper. But I think you have got to give her props for trying though.


I'm a Chloe fan, really and I know that green is supposed to be in this season (as is yellow) but I do not comprehend this dress choice or the hair that is not done.


Winona Ryder. If she had taken off the bow off her shoulder and came in a strapless black gown, it wouldn't have been so bad. But I'm glad to see Winona attending events again.


Usually Kirsten Dunst looks really good at events but the photo below speaks for itself when I say that I gasped when I saw it. (eek!)


The event was to honour and celebrate the works of Paul Poiret, a Visionary Artist-Couturier of Early 20th Century. Here is some information on him.

And here are some pictures of some of his clothes at the Met exhibit:




If you are in NYC from May 9 – August 5, be sure to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art to check out the exhibit.

Who wears short shorts?

First of all, darlings, I'm so sorry for my absence lately. I have been stranded on this little island called England and a tad too busy to blog. But now that I am back, let's get started on what has been hot in LONDON lately: Short Shorts! My goodness, the British lasses are brave souls. It would be 15 degrees Celsius outside and there are the beautiful lasses, out in shorts, pencil heels and ready to party. I could never brave the cold like that but now that Summer is here, I'm ready to show off the gams.

What has been especially hot has been the Turn-ups on the shorts. Let me show you a couple of examples:

River Island's Belted Hot pants. Great for a stroll down Oxford Street on Saturday or a night out in town on Friday.

Top Shop's denim "up turns". Wear it to the beach, wear it to the pool... wear it anywhere really.

White buckle trim turn up shorts by NEXT. This outfit screams casual Sunday.

If tres short shorts aren't your thing, then do not fret, now, there are Longer shorts for that evening look.

Top Shop's Striped Slouch Short - wearable to the office.

Next's Wide Legged Short

My fave casual jean short look for now:

Top Shop's Indigo shorts that are just the right length for me.

And if you are feeling adventurous, go retro and try the high waisted shorts that Mischa Barton seems to be so fond of nowadays.

I Heart Dopie

Move over, Crocs! There's a new sole lover in town - Dopie!

Since it went on sale in April, Dopie sandals by Terra Plana, is a big hit in UK & Europe. It may look funny, or quirky at first look - but these sandals are definitely the next big thing in Asia.

A unique collaboration between industrial designer Matthew Harrison and the eco-friendly shoe company Terra Plana. The Dopie makes it the "sandal in a simpler and pure form: a single shape sole to protect the foot that folds up between the toes to provide control. An optional strap is provided to add extra functionality to Dopie beginners."

Made from recycled EVA and foam rubber, Dopie is the perfect sole companion for Singapore's crazy recent weather. With its funky colour-palette, it's time to make a switch from our favourite Crocs to the cooler alternative.

Kate Moss for Top Shop

To all Kate Moss fans and fashionistas: The wait is O-V-E-R!

Everyone can now have a piece of Kate. Top Shop's collaboration with one of the world's biggest fashion icon - Kate Moss - is probably one of the biggest and of course, very profitable business move of 2007. The designs are inspired by Kate's wardrobe which is incredibly ...

Sexy.

Edgy.

Classic Kate.

Here are VF's top Kate picks from the collection:


Bring out the party girl! Kate loves her dresses to be short - best way to show off her long slender legs. I love the colour and the bling - definitely fit for a Friday night!


I always love the preppy look with an edge. The styling is basic but perfect.


Inspired by her cracker rocker boyfriend, Pete Doherty? Kate has always heart the bad boys. This edgy rocker-inspired outfit fits the bill. I absolutely dig it.


White. Lovely.


This is my favorite. Hands down! Red skinny jeans - of course, you need those legs to pull it off. I think it's totally hot.

Disney Fairy-Tale Wedding

Walt Disney Co. is looking to grab a bigger piece of the wedding cake, and feed its burgeoning Princess business, with a new line of character-inspired bridal gowns aimed at women who want to look and feel like Cinderella at the ball on their big day. The Walt Disney Co. has teamed with bridal designer Kirstie Kelly to create a collection of gowns inspired by the favorite Disney princess characters, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Ariel from "The Little Mermaid," Belle from "Beauty and The Beast" and Jasmine from "Aladdin."

"We wanted women to feel like they had something in common with these princesses. We had to identify who the princesses are now and who does the everyday girl relate to," Kelly said. A mood and fashion sensibility was assigned to each princess-themed gown: Cinderella is for the classic glamour bride; Sleeping Beauty is about pretty romance; Snow White is sweet elegance; Ariel is sultry allure; Belle is stylish sophistication; and Jasmine is bohemian chic.

With the Sleeping Beauty castle as a backdrop, this is absolutely charming.

Ahh, a Disney fairy-tale wedding is a dream come true for Disney fans like moi.

Belle gown by designer Kirstie Kelly for Disney Fairy Tale Weddings. I totally heart this dress, and it makes me wanna tie the knot soon!

H&M Loves Kylie

We're BACK!

A thousand apologies on the recent VF hiatus. The VF girls have been busy with love, work, exams, job interviews, London and mundane everyday commitments. Haha, excuses.

Kylie Minogue is the legs, oops, I mean face of the H&M beachwear line, 'H&M loves Kylie'. The limited edition collection boasts fifteen 'Kylie-inspired' styles. "H&M's main beachwear range pushes all the right trend buttons in a look that smacks of glam beach-life, where glinting silver and gold metallic play off graphic black and white animal prints, while sizzling hot hues of yellow, red and pink reflect the surfing influences", says the press release.

I've to say the campaign is very very well-executed and stunning. Enjoy.
