Helmut Lang's Lovely Lace Dress
There are times when I have told myself not to blog about black dresses anymore – no matter how short, how little, how cool and pretty they are. However, when I spotted Helmut Lang’s Puckered Lace Dress (USD$425.00), I just could not resist. I had to break this rule – immediately! With its romantic draping and delicate lace detailing, this fitted asymmetric dress is simply a unique party must-have. Graceful and gorgeous regardless of which angle you see it through.
Available at Barneys, net-a-porter, La Garçonne, shopbop and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Emilio Pucci's New Nude
Peter Dundas of Emilio Pucci crafted a new sexy curve in the stimulating shade of nude for Spring/Summer 2010. Watch out! Ready or not – here comes his stunning and striking asymmetric cut-out and lace-up swimsuit (USD $645)! Surely, there’s nothing more provocative than this skin-flashing skin-coloured piece. Namely, playing with the perplexing visual effect using those crafty means of his, it is revealing in that distinctively dangerous and delightfully daring way – bringing us excitement of a new height!

Piercing eyes penetrate through our souls.
Even though the hottest ticket in town (a.k.a sales) is no longer valid at Lane Crawford, we are lured to step into the sweet-scented department store to discover the new season’s entrancing enticements up close and personal, while attempting to meet the ever so impeccable Ms. Sarah Rutson serendipitously and intimately for the trillionth time. The first and foremost origin of this forbidden temptation is none other than a sneak peek of the drop dead sexy Spring/Summer 2010 Ad campaign, entitled “The Portfolio”.

Australian model Abbey Lee Kershaw in Alexander Wang's Resort Collection
It totally stinks that we were not able to find any good [1] Alexander Wang stuff at final sales anywhere at all! Argh… Did someone hide ‘em all for themselves – instead of benefitting the food good of the society? Seriously, do I really have to pay full price to wear one of those extremely cool but thin-as-nothing Tee from him? [2] Besides, you know what? Last season stock is actually quite appetising on me, despite being ‘old’ and ‘out of fashion’.

Richard Nicoll's sunny resort 2010 collection
When I first spotted Richard Nicoll’s sunny resort collection at Harvey Nichols, the ultra cool beverage of Orange Mocha Frappucino, as drunk by the four fantastic male models in the movie Zoolander (2001), immediately popped straight out of my mind. I like the warm, fuzzy and uplifting character of the collection. It truly radiates this “you make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day” character. Presented in the picture above are:

Zac Posen Cruise 2010
At first, I was not exactly sure about Zac Posen’s green and polka dotted vision for Cruise 2010. My first thought was: “What is it? Christmas in July with Santa camouflaged in the Safari Jungle?” But then, after seeing its adaptation on Bergdorf Goodman, I became rather fond of it. It’s sweet, fresh, young and chic – a combination that acts as a perfect charm for Cruise 2010, which we simply cannot get enough of now and forever!
Presented in the picture above are Zac Posen’s Shutter-Pleated Silk Blouse (USD $690.00 ) & Lace-Overlay Pencil Skirt (USD $990.00); Polka-Dot Knit Dress (USD $490.00); and Satin Cornelia Dress (USD $1,590.00). Available at Bergdorf Goodman, net-a-porter and Neiman Marcus.

Christopher Kane’s Crispy Eye-Candy
Christmas is coming soooo soon and you certainly cannot have enough sweet sweet candy over this festive season. If you still don’t have your poptastic party outfits ready for battle, then, let me show you Christopher Kane’s fantastic fall/winter 2009 collection once again. First on my agenda is the celebrated designer’s velvet stripe organza dress (also known as High Volume silk-organza dress on net-a-porter £1,291). This dress is simply the divine choice for lunches, tea parties and any day time activies you would have to attend. For dinner at home, Mr. Kane’s pretty pleated satin and organza A-line dress (a.k.a Hanna silk and velvet dress £1,291) is for sure ideal to swing around the kitchen. Then, to finish the evening off with a splendid night out, you definitely cannot miss the magnificent multi-velvet stripe shift dress (also known as sleeveless crazy stripe dress on net-a-porter £2,313). I just love the remarkable work on the dress, in particular the use of these marvellous metallic appliqué in the colours of sweet irresistible candy, which creates the striking statement for an unforgettable Christmas. Once again, merry Christmas, everyone!
Available at Luisa Via Roma and net-a-porter.

Gorgeous Greatness from Givenchy
If it’s not because of Russian model Anna Selezneva, I would have totally missed this hidden treasure and above all, important detail from the stylish French fashion house Givenchy: an extra strap, which goes around the heel of those gorgeous Holly strappy leather sandals (Above right £717.39) to make them truly exceptionally extraordinary. Well… Need I say more? Hardcore glamour has never been more explicitly expressed. Browsing on net-a-porter later on, my two eyes separated paranormally, as if I have landed in an extraterrestrial cyberspace, when I sighted the 8th and 9th wonder of the world. Instantaneously, one eye was glued to those lovely Bianco leather boots (Above left £652.17) and the other fixed on the extravagant choice: an exquisite pair of leather crocodile-print sandals (Above middle £717.39). Well… Obviously, in order to keep me sane at all times, these three pairs are absolute essentials! Available at net-a-porter now.

Ukrainian model Alyona Osmanova in Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Miss Marc T-Shirt in black
Ok. To be honest, if this set of Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Miss Marc Tee and my Luella Tee fall into the ocean simultaneously and both were soon to be mercilessly attacked and eaten by a big ugly shark, I would… rescue my Luella Tee! Of course! With that being said, I don’t think Mr. Jacobs will send me a free T-Shirt, ohhh… my last hope is on Ms. Bartley for sure. Nonetheless, although Miss Marc is not for me, I really like how Alyona wears it. So young, so fresh, so adorable! Available in black and white at Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and net-a-porter.
