Shop it at Red Bag Boutique!

A new up and coming vintage boutique is in town. Though sad to say, it is nowhere near me. It's actually in California, US but I thought I could help publicize it a bit because of Chanel Iman. Anyway, those who live near the place, you're in luck!


So, the place is called The Red Bag Boutique, it's a store owned by the mother of fabulous and chic supermodel Chanel Iman. It's a store that sells fashion! From clothes, to bags, bracelets, earrings, hats etc. Everything is extremely chic from what I saw and they sell vintage too.

Now, it's not only the normal vintage stuff from the 60s or 80s. This store sells clothes from Chanel Iman's personal wardrobe. She took out old stuff that she don't want anymore to sell in store. From Jason Wu, Chanel, to Ralph Lauren. You name it, they have it. Well, mostly things you see her wearing on runways. Those are outfits give to Chanel Iman by designers.

So if you're a model sample size, you're in big luck! Another plus to shop there is that certain pieces Chanel likes would be signed by Chanel herself. Which I think is cool. A good way to add some incentive to shopping.

That's all for now. Ciao.

PS: Photos aren't too clear. Crop it out of a video from Modelinia where I got to know about this. Oh, and here's a map of the store.

The Best and The Worst when we MET?

Well, May 3rd was a day to celebrate. What other than the annual party of the year, the Met Ball. A benefit organized by the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute, in New York. As it had been for the past few years, this is the 'IT' event of the year. Everybody who is anybody pushes their way through every year to get in the list of invites.

This year, the benefit kicks off the opening of the American Woman: Fashioning A National Identity exhibit. Well, I don't know much of the actual event since I am not privileged enough to be in, yet. That's right, optimism is the key to success - or at least that's what I've heard.

So I am here to share with you the best and the worst outfit of the night. There were showstoppers and also drecktitudes (a new term I learn from ALT). Well for starters, the hostesses of the night. Two very powerful women in the entire world, Oprah Winfrey and Anna Wintour grace us with their presence on the red carpet. Oprah was in a stunning Oscar de le Renta dress. A black dress, with huge frills for skirt. She's Oprah - big, black, beautiful and loving it. Anna posed on the carpet with her very known daughter Bee. Anna was in a Chanel designed for her by Lagerfeld and Bee came with a gorgeous Balenciaga.

We then have my favourite models on line. Gisele with the beautiful grunge, rock and roll dress by Alexander Wang. She looked amazing. Then we have Coco Rocha wearing Zac Posen's Cloud Dress from 2008's collection with a massive train on the back which she made to a cape. It was to die for. Then we have Chanel Iman in a fabulous golden jumpsuit from Michael Kors. Victoria Secret's Alessandra Ambrosio in a Versace gown and Karolina Kurkova in a Altuzarra dress. Not so fancy for Karolina's because of the weird flap in the bust. Take the frills off and you are fab!
