Maison Michel Fall 2009

Milla Jovovich & Sasha Pivovarova

I have been into hats because of Maison Michel. It was founded by Hatmaker Auguste Michel in 1936. Later on it was taken over by the couple Pierre Debard and Claudine Debard, who brought back the 'large wide-brimmed hats' style which attracts many designers. Now Maison Michel is operated under Chanel (photos taken by Karl Lagerfeld, of course), and has been the IT hats right now!

Maison Michel offers made-to-measure hats; that makes me really want to go Paris and go its showroom on rue Sainte-Anne.

I'll be seeing you soon, MM!

Lovin' Chloe!

I am officially loving Chloe by Hannah MacGibbon's collection this season. Pieces and pieces from the runway are seen on the magazines! I am surprised that I am really into Chloe for the Fall collection thanks to designer Hannah MacGibbon.

LOVE love love the one-sleeve Bow Top

I have spotted many baggy cropped pants from various designers. I got a black satin one from Alexander Wang and I am lovin' it! I really like the camel color satin from Chloe, and the green one is just so luxe! (check out the flats too!)

This reminds me of Lanvin from Spring 2008

Great color combination and texture

Jumpsuits are still in style!

Leather shorts: Def. something I would wear

Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony

Okay. I'm too late.

Chloe Sevigny collaborated with Opening Ceremony to launch a collection for both men and women. Well I think this is the second season. Anyways, this is the gladiator-like wedges with mini silver buckles. I remember seeing this somewhere in the magazine. But only now that I start to look for it. Guess what. Sold out. Not even in Shopbop, Opening Ceremony..

Why oh why??

It may not be my style. But I think it's kinda cool. You never know when there is an occasion to wear this! haha

Alexander Wang Coco Duffel Bag

The hottest bag of the season! It was out around June-July. And it is now SOLD OUT! Still many are still looking for it.

Well, the gold studs all over the bottom of the bag make all the difference! Who wouldn't want such a great handbag, especially when the price is affordable ($850). eBay sells them for more than a thousand!

First time I knew of this was when I saw Mary-Kate Olsen using it, months before the Coco Duffel bag was even out! Of course.. Endorsement (Duh!). Good thing I kept on bugging my SP @ Barney's to order one for me.

DOn't worry J! They will have other colors coming in soon. Black leather with silver studs, Gray leather with silver or black studs (I can't remember). Shopbop has the blue with silver studs.

I will let you know if I find it in any other stores!
