This blog has been an Asia fashion stalker; talking about this designer and that designer, now trend and then trend, here runway and there runway. We don’t talk much about wearable pieces, or affordably chic street style, or how to mix and match stuff from flea markets.

However, blogging fashion trend has evolved ever since. The free easy-go-happy blogging tools open the way for many fashionable young people to blog about their personal fashion life. Some are very good and popular and they become trendsetter. Usually they photograph themselves, and post about their outfit; the price of them, and where to buy them. Sometimes they also post about are on their wishlists.

What’s so good about personal fashion blogs? The style are unique and strenght of characters they show. We can have new ideas of what to do with our basic pieces, and even our edgiest ones. what the personal fashion bloggers have in common is they are usually creative people, and they think fasionably out of the box.

And what’s so bad about them? The fact that we can’t do anything if they got their pieces from flea markets ;)

If you’re Yohji Yamamoto’s fanatic and interested in unusual shape of handbag, then you really have to check this one out. Semi-Circle Bucket Bag. With rounded leather base, flat leather shoulder strap, interior zipped pocket, cell phone, and patch pocket, and polished silver metal hardware. The dimension is 11.5? L x 15? H x 8? W (at base).

Actually I think this is a good idea, but not with black dull-looking leather, anyway. Hmm.

What does pop on you mind when you hear these 2 words? Me, Nicole Richie. Well, it’s actually a name of jeans brand. Michael Glasser, who also created Seven for All Mankind and Citizens of Humanity. He decided to create Rich & Skinny Jeans while he was on hiatus with those 2 everyone’s favorite brands. The first collection was launched in 2006, when colorful skinny jeans were so on, with 13 different skinny styles in 15 rich colors.

About the catchy name?

It’s a question they’re accustomed to answering. After countless hours of brainstorming on the perfect name, a frustrated Joie decided to “get real.” She thought, “How does someone want to feel when they pull on their favorite pair of jeans?” To her, the answer was quite simple, “rich and skinny.” As soon as she said it out loud, she knew she had found the perfect name. “We want to make people feel good. We want people to put on a smile when they put on our jeans.” - grooveeffect.com

And here is how Jessica Alba in it. Yes. She looks rich and skinny ;)

This March, Teen Vogue featured pajamas in its 10 fashion pages. As the sister, or the more understandable version of Vogue, so this is serious. You can do experiment with menswear pajamas. Add jackets and scarves. Go with clutch and wear fashionably serious shoes, and you’re ready.

Actually this idea had been published by Prada on Summer 2008, but you can’t just predict the trend. This trendy comfortness was also showed in Dolce & Gabbana advertisement, on Elle, March 2008.

So beautiful dreamers, let’s play outside! :)

Well, maybe you all aren’t familiar with this name. It would still even come up zero result when you search his name in Wikipedia. However, he’s another Asian designer, born in Singapore, and now living in Paris.

What’s so catchy about his collection, beside the luxurious fabrics used, is: the pieces are really his handwork, and start at $15,000 each. Quoting Style.com: “If America’s financial turmoil had him worried, he wasn’t showing it. Anyway, there’s always Russia, China, and the Middle East.” That’s cool anyway, and just right for his well-heeled and high-fashioned bourgeois princesses.

The fact is represented by crystals decorated necklines, waistbands, and hems. With big costume-jewelry collection. Enough to “keep the royals and socials coming back for more.”

“I like fashion to go down to the street, but I can’t accept that it should originate there.”

“Fashion is architecture. It is a matter of proportions.”

“I don’t do fashion, I am fashion.”

Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel (19 August 1883 – 10 January 1971) was a pioneering French fashion designer whose modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired fashions, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important figure in 20th-century fashion. Her influence on haute couture was such that she was the only person in the field to be named on TIME Magazine’s 100 most influential people of the 20th century.
