He Who Embraces iPad?

iPad is on a huge hype now. Everyone wants one, though most does not know why. I, personally find no point of getting an iPad. For a student, there's not much of use to it. Why?

1. A over sized iPod touch with higher specs.
2. A minimized Macbook with lower specs.
3. Limitation in internet just like a laptop, unless you have 3G but expensive
4. Always need a weekend bag or tote to put it in, like a laptop.

So there you go, my reasons of not buying it. A student like moi, do not need it. If I want portable internet, there's my trusty Nokia E71. I want more of it, use a laptop? Duh.

Reason 1 and 2 is the main one, for me it's the same. Haha.

At the end of the day, I found a point of buying the pad. For fashion bloggers, they have use of it, especially when they are on a runway show and needs to blog immediately. That's a plus, for them. If I can go to runway shows, I would get one but I still think the charge would be too expensive for a jobless student.

But one thing's for sure, I would definitely get one of those iPad covers from Oscar De La Renta, if I have an iPad. Very chic and fab! It's coming out even before the Resort 2011 collection. If you want it, go to Oscar De La Renta.

That's my two cents. Ciao.

New York Fashion F/W 2010

As leaves turn green and flowers blossom, New York is once again beaming with anticipation. What would Marc Jacobs present this season? Carolina Herrera? How about Alexander Wang, the new prodigy to the American fashion throne.

With this being said, this season is filled with dark colors - black to be exact and Furs! After being away from furs for a while, designers this season had decided to go ahead and embrace the beauty of furs, especially since it's for the fall/winter collection. Without a doubt, fur is one of the most significant relevance to the whole winter season. I bet Anna Wintour is exceptionally happy about this. Be it trenches, coats, skirts or hats, everything is warm and fuzzy.

Designers like Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Donna Karan, Oscar de le Renta, Thakoon and many more embraced this two elements in their collection

Marc Jacobs decides to go back to his roots in aesthetic after a long venture to so many different style from his own. He finally settled down in his aesthetics. He revisits everything he had done before but reworking the designs through buttons, hems, and shapes. Therefore you might think that you have seen the looks before but unable to pin point it to anything you know and that's what make him so great. A slight change to the new designs gives it a whole new look. One of my favorite is the silver cream-ish colors dress which to me looked like expensive rare glossy muslin - totally hot!

All by Marc Jacobs

Another thing quite familiar from Marc is the heels. He, out of a few other designers decides to fight the trend of extremely high heels and tries to push forward low heels which is more comfortable and still fabulous to wear.

The Fabulous Low Heels

Another few designers decides that they should revisit their past and extract something new are Donna Karan, Oscar de le Renta and Calvin Klein.

Oscar was another one that amazed me. His classic 1920s day wear to his 1950s evening was simple breathtaking. It was all about Hollywood glam back in those days. Matched with expensive looking fur, I wonder is there any actress who wouldn't want to be dressed by him. One things for sure, it's Oscar for the Oscars this season.

Two fabulous gowns of Oscars standards and a very Amelia Earhart inspired daywear.
