ANG SARAP I-RAMPA NITO SA MISS UNIVERSE!

opmbworldwide:

“India. Its vibrant colors, embroidery and love of gold embellishments can be a great way to get the creative juices going. For spring, it informed Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, and boy did they embrace the country in all its glory. In the show notes, the duo cited the Sixties, when the Beatles turned to the Maharishi as their spiritual guru, as their inspiration. 

But they approached India so literally — draped dresses with elaborate surface adornments, colorful saris, midriff-exposing ghagra choli — one almost expected an elephant to come down the runway or the models to break into a Bollywood dance number for the finale. That’s not to say the collection didn’t have its high points. Many of the pieces were exquisite, including a languid, white draped gown worn with gold-embroidered illusion tights and the last tulle dress in silver embroidery on Carolyn Murphy.”

Oscar de la Renta Children’s Wear Spring 2013

OSCAR FTW!!!! CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!!!

jamesnord:

Oscar de la Renta had his first children’s wear show this week, and it was fun to see his classic tweeds, stunning dresses and classic sensibility translated onto a bunch of little munchkins. I think it’s safe to say this is the most fun I have ever had at a fashion show. Please take 10 minutes to watch runway show, check out the line here and follow their blog here.

Went to Huang Shan this weekend and thank God the snow and icicles haven’t melted when we arrived. So with my parpel babbel coat on (peg: Barney for H&M), I immediately grabbed snow from the ground and formed a Snowball (Animal Farm much?). Anyway, it was my first time to see and touch snow… indeed one of the bestest days ever!!!!
