Old School Pop - The Gwyneth Effect

This is sick. I'm sorry. But if you were a child of the 90's completely obsessed with US Vogue, chances are, you did wish you can trade lives (or just boyfriends) with Gwyneth. Not a popular sentiment. But I'm glad to know there are still a few non-haters left out there. Apparently my GP can still hawk like all the Millers and the Olsens of the world. See the link to one my fave fashion blogs.

Must-Have: Gladiator Sandals (Featuring Style Twins: Gwyneth and Myself)

Oh Gwyneth! I knew it! Black skinnies, black polish and gladiator sandals. Completely predictable outfit, but still! I've always felt we have so much in common.

(That was slighty off the topic. Apologies. I just had to mention Gwyneth.)

Anyway, if her pic (my pic and insert name of your fave celeb's pic) doesn't convince you to finally give your beloved flip-flops a break, check out the latest gladiator sandals incarnation...click click click!



Admit it! Gladiator sandals have proven it's staying power. It was first seen in 2005, worn by the likes of Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. Since then it's been re-invented in at least 101 ways. Ultra-dominatrix versions ( Ashley Olsen in Alaia). Flat, knee-high ( Chanel worn by Mary-Kate). Metallic (popular with every A-E listers known to man). Fast-forward to today, and we have the summer-perfect version: Jellies.

Pink Sandals by Givenchy and the other one is by Topshop

oscar fashion nth degree of separation

Before you read this post, I think there are a few interesting (?!) things you should know about me:

1. I am a banker. I actually understand those financial terms coined especially to confuse people.

2. I live beyond my means. haha

3. My leg hurts when I wear flats.

4. I'm a closet nerd.

5. I love water sports but I can't swim.

6. I am one of the few (around 5 ) people who still love gwyneth paltrow.

7. My memory span rivals the brain capacity of a goldfish, but strangely...

8. I have knack for remembering random non-sense, like the plate number of my college crush, the number of songs in my ipod, and yes, I know who wore what at the Oscars.

You see, I have never watched the actual ceremony. But the red carpet?? ! I couldn't possibly avoid it, even if I try (huh?haha). Every year I find myself updating an imaginary Academy Awards fashion scorecard. Cameron in Valentino! Kirsten, definitely a Chanel! There's Monique ( there wasn't any Lhuiller this year, no?) . Sorry, the girl can't help it!

So at the risk of sounding like I dont have anything more important to do, here's my version of Oscar Fashion Six Degrees of Separation

♥m

Penelope Cruz must really like Charlize Theron.

Apart from the Red Carpet and Nicole Kidman, there's another Oscar regular - pink strapless gowns!

Noir Bete Noir?! Not all!

Fashion history repeats itself...

Even just a year after .
