I’ve collected some photos from the MTV Australia Video Music Awards, mostly people I thought looked good/interesting… You’ll notice the papz are even shooting the guests these days! That’s great. Some of the guests are lookin better than the celebs. Shame on you stars.
I like to stand naked in my closet in the mornings stressing over what to wear to wear. Ok not really. When I can spare the time I can get lost for hours in my closet coordinating outfits, it’s fun for me.. even relaxing on some days, but on most normal days this is a routine I wish could be automated.
As far as I know no tool or service like that exists for outfit-automation but in the meantime, Polyvore makes outfit creation pretty damn fun — online! How it works is you install a plug-in to grab articles of clothing off websites which are saved to your editor where you can then drag and drop the clothes, layer then on top of one another and create an entire look or outfit. You can also browse sets of other outfits girls have put together using the same items you used.
See below:
An outfit someone created…
All the other looks/outfits others have put together using the same blue top.
Selecting what looks good with what is so much easier when you can see all the pieces and parts juxtaposed. I used to lay out the outfits for my blog posts in Photoshop but after EllleElle turned me onto this niftiness of this tool I was sold. You can use it for more than just fashion… furniture layout, etc. Again — something I used to do in Photoshop for HOURS.
It will be interesting to see where Polyvore goes with this tool. Jianing and team — best of luck and contact me when you’re ready for user feedback!!
As for those dreaded mornings in the closet once I’ve created my Virtual Closet product I’ll let you all know 
You’ll be able to record every item in your closet in a online catalog and sign up for a stylist service that coordinates outfits for you. Sound like a service?

Korean actors and actresses sure know how to get dolled up… but these brothers and sisters need to learn how to work that Red Carpet. I’m going to have to send word back to Korea to work on that Red Carpet pose and wave.
In any case, how excited was I when I found these photos in Wireimage?
All in all sexy legs and backs were big. White/ light hues also were a dominant theme. Here’s the best and the worst of it.
The tiered dress is going strong… I luve it. They are comfy comfy and are awesome for covering the post-dinner pot bellies.
Too much white for me here but still look nice. She should have gone with some gold open toe stilettos or peep toes for a more appropriate Red Carpet Look. She looks like she’s having a good time though! Definitely the most natural looking out of them all.
Nice hue and I like the draped effect of the dress.
This is a nice take on a snakeskin print.
I can’t quite tell but Si-Yeon’s hair is either way LUXE or really SUXE. You be the judge. The back of her gown is very flattering. I would love a dress like this!
Women across the world… Here they are!
— They don’t come any prettier than this.
— If you haven’t seen it yet… "Love Me Not".
You In-Young
In-Young-shi… did you check in the mirror before you walked out the door? Didn’t your friend tell you that the attack of the scissors look was never in? Last time I check in Korea this was the case as well.
Totally Turnlock Faridah Shoulder Bag — $438
in Black…
and Beige.
Saw this today at Shopbop.com and haven’t totally made up my mind yet. It looks so soft and supple. That’s important to me since I get cranky when my bag is uncomfortable. This leather looks nice to the touch. Wish i could reach out and touch it. How great would it be if websites could allow customers to "feel" the goods somehow. I’d die a very happy online shopping death if that were to happen!
The results are in! The top 50 Fashion blogs of today…

One day… Luxemix? hahaaa… we’ll see 
I did hear something interesting along those lines at a conference I was at last week. They said that every year the top blogs shift as it seems what’s in one year is out the next. I’d attribute that to a couple things.
1). Readers get bored with the same stuff over and over again.
2). The Readers themselves are changing. New readers join the blog audience everyday and what these new readers want is going to be different.
3). The bloggers themselves grow up and as that happens I’m sure their content evolves/morphs for better or for worse.
One day I’ll be blogging about diapers… hopefully fashionable diapers ~!
I’m back!!
Palm Springs was friggin cole’! All those cute skimpy tops and dresses i brought with me ended up staying cozy in the closet. I had to wear and re-wear the only sweatshirt I brought with me all weekend. Being the Virgo that I am I can’t stand it when I am unprepared clothes-wise. I spend a whole day packing so I can have everything planned out perfectly, suitcase optimized Why can’t Mother Nature just play along?
Anyhow, I wanted to share a few celeb pics I saved over last week that I didn’t get a chance to post.
This was my fav fav fav of the week. Kim Kardashian looks absolutely adorably posh. I never even liked that prada bag but after seeing it here I’m starting to convert. I’d do this prep school girl gone clubber look anytime!
Lindsay looks great in this dress. I saw this in US mag over the weekend so thought I gotta share this one!
I didn’t even know who this girl was to pretty recently! Carrie Underwood looks poised and perfectly prim here. I love the way these colors complement her skin tone. Her hair is so cute styled up and curled down. And I must say nice choice of shoes. I wouldn’t have thought to pair those myself (I’d normally go with open toes for a dress like that) but these work so well.. I may just have to try this. Too bad I don’t wear dresses like that tho…
I can’t even remember who she is but she lookin pretty good with her angel-esque look and cherub curls.
What to wear to a basketball game… that is the question. Tyra and Beyonce got it right I think. I love the caps but was it planned to both wear them together?
I don’t know what the hype is about Baby Phat. I am not feelin this beige boot and jean look Kimora has going on. Maybe it’s coz I just don’t like her. She seems very monsterish. Where’s your cap Phat Monster?
They have been on the seen for over the year but they don’t seem to be cooling down. Good for me because I can’t seem to get enough of my stripes. I keep buying striped top after striped tunic after striped tank… The variety of striped tops out there is endless but I prefer to stick to blacks, greys, reds, and possibly greens, oh hell they are look great. Now that I think about it I think I”ve got one in every color.

I head to Palm Springs this Friday for a quick getaway with my hubby so I’m thinking about dropping by the mall to scoop up some un-guilty pleasures — cheap summery tops from Forever21! It feels so good to buy something for less than what’s you’d spend on a nice dinner.
What I’ve got my eyes on…
Rainbow Hoody – $22.80
Trixie Tunic – $17.80
Floral Sierra Top – $24.80
Floral Polka Dot Top – $24.00
Jenny Top – $13.80
Lace Top – $19.80
Luxe
Miss Dior Patent Peep Toe Pump at e-Luxury.com – $515
My precious… I’ve been eyeing these for at least 2 months now and I might jump off a balconey if they get sold out before I get the balls to buy them. I first found them on www.neimanmarcus.com and checked back almost daily. One day I clicked and got the "This item is no longer available" message and I freaked. Luckily, I found them again on e-Luxury in pretty much all sizes. I check back every day to make sure my size is still there. Yes, it’s a disease.
Luxe for Less
This looks like a serious candidate for a luxe for less alternate to the Miss Dior Patent Peep Toe Pump. I’d have to see them in person to give a true rating so maybe I’ll stop by Aldo this week. If they’re pretty good I may just consider them and save myself $400!
Slovakia Peep Toe Pump at AldoShoes.com — $100.00
