I LOVE LOVE LOVE Catherine Malandrino’s clothes.I first heard of her when Blair Waldorf wore the marroon dress in Gossip Girl, and I checked out CM’s website for gorgeous clothes. I chanced upon the store in Meat market, and fell in love with absolutely everything. This is what you call design and fashion. Gorgeous use [...]

Theory
Posted in designer, fashion, shopping, tagged designer, fashion, shopping, theory on July 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Theory is a clothing (men & women), handbags, and shoes brand sold through department stores and its own stores. The brand is VERY pricey. Its USP is that its clothing is made of a lycra-like material that makes it stretchy and comfortable; the clothes last quite long. I wonder, will customers pay $150-$200 for clothing [...]
Money vultures
Posted in Rants, Renovation, tagged architect, contractor, designer, Renovation on June 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
In New York or maybe US, there are lots of vultures waiting to squeeze every last “drop” of your money. I am renovating my apartment, and everyone wants money. To start with, while closing my apartment purchase, I paid a lawyer, mortgage broker, and someone who helps in transfer of title. AM and I were [...]

Herve Ledger is hands down my favorite designer. I love his bandage dresses. He is extremely creative in adding different elements of color and style to make his dresses all look different. Gilt had them on sale, $2,ooo pieces for $400-$500. Not surprisingly, within a day they were all sold out. They were such gorgeous [...]
Jumpsuits everywhere

Remember when I blogged about jumpsuits? Now this overgrown toddler trend is everywhere! Who brought this trend back? Models don’t look as bad, and neither did my co-worker who wore one today, but I am not changing my mind about this. Why oh why would you want to wear one of these? What if you [...]
Christian Louboutin rated by Yelp
Posted in designer, fashion, shopping, tagged christian louboutin, designer, fashion, shopping on March 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Yelp lists Christian Louboutin as a best shopping stop in New York. After reading reviews I realized that CL’s trademark is the red sole. I checked out the collection on Neiman Marcus, and the heels are gorgeous. However, they do not justify the price tag. Do shoes with red soles justify the hefty price tag? [...]
Valentino

I love Valentino, but never had a chance to look at it closely. I walk by upscale stores such as Chanel, Prada, etc., but never have the courage to walk into them. See I don’t want to be snubbed by the salespeople there. Obviously I think its a waste of money to spend on these [...]
Spring Totes and Ralph Lauren… more rants
Posted in fashion, shopping, tagged designer, fashion, shopping on January 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I received an email from Neiman Marcus this morning about new Spring Totes. Who is going to shell out $$$$$$$ for totes in this economy? Should designers continue to make new expensive designs or look for cheaper ways to maintain their designs? And are their designs really at that level? For example, the Tote below [...]
Does Tory Burch live up to the hype?
Posted in fashion, shopping, tagged designer, fashion, shopping, spring, tory burch on January 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Tory Burch’s Spring collection is up on Neimal Marcus. I don’t get the hype behind Tory Burch. I mean, she is a talented designer and I really like her tunics, and of course Oprah the great had her on her talk show, but do TB’s designs live up to the prices? NO! Plain cotton tunics [...]
