But alas, my measley earnings as an intern cannot afford me such luxury. I shall report back when I finally DO buy something with my paycheck-oh and tell you all about my intership ofcourse. Anyhoo I'm off to celebrate now, ciao!
In celebration of. . .
Yesterday was my last day of work for my summer internship-FINALLY! So naturally I am going to celebrate and go shopping today and then I am going to party it up all night! So to kick off the celebration of the end of my internship, I did some virtual shopping on Saks! Here is what I WOULD like to get with my first pay check:
Small white shoulder bag by Marc Jacobs. Perfect for me to go partying with tonight!
Simply LOVE these Prada heels!
In preparation for the coming fall/winter, this embroidered Miu Miu bag is excellent. It can fit everything AND its absolutely gorgeous!
These Miu Miu suede flats are a brilliant match for this bag too!
And one must not forget a pair of sexy ankle boots for the coming season right? These ones, by Brian Atwood are just great!

A Nice Little Dinner Party
Ever since watching various tv shows like Gilmore Girls, the OC, and maybe even Desperate Housewives, I've been inspired to throw a fabulous dinner party. OK, so it's not the dinner that I care much about, but the beautiful clothes everyone wears to such dinners that inspired me. And so I did.
A few weeks back, I threw one for my closest high school friends. I used girly invitations from the Stila cosmetics website, (which didn't get sent properly,) and insisted that everyone should dress nicely. (Barneys Girl was very pleased as she loves taking and being in photos.) My sister and househelper made delicious food and I bought a chocolate truffle cake.
Here is the food: We forgot to take photos of the main course, which was tomato basil angel hair, Itlian palmer ham & chicken fillet and rosemary potato wedges.
Tomato Bruschetta
Vinegar Salad
Chocolate Truffle Cake
What Barneys Girl wore: so colorful and eye-catching. She bought it in Seibu (a smaller version of Bloomingdale); by a brand called Mint.

What I wore: slightly crochet fabric and the top bit has a wonderful cutting. I bought it at the Harrods Summer Sale; by Marc by Marc Jacobs.
This dinner party was definately much more lady-like and sophisticated than the normal house parties that we used to do. Wow, maybe we're actually maturing and growing more sophisticated and possibly more snobby.

Chanel (Metropolitan Museum of Art Publications)
Now this is my type of literature: Chanel (the Metropolitan Museum of Art Publications version). It was just lying around on the desk, and being the Chanel devotee that I am (seriously, remember this?), ofcourse I couldn't resist but take a peek . . . . .
I liked how they showed pictures of old vintage Chanel designs. It just struck me how I would not have guessed that these were designed many decades ago, because I would so totally wear them!
But for most of the part I was not very impressed by the book and the contents itself. They spend pages and pages devoted to writing about Chanel and her designs in the most long winded way possible! I wish they just had short meaningful words underlining and explaining the pictures! But anyway, if you have a chance and u love Chanel (or are really bored) do flick through it and decipher the meaning within.

Preview the Fashion Mood for Fall/ Winter 05
After a world-trotting boho themed summer, the fashion industry continues to move us into a world-trotting winter. But this time, instead of using summery themed prints like ethnic Africa and safari, we wear cold country's clothes. Think of the old and cold Russian and English type of prints.
What does this mean? For the Russian: Expect imperial, well tailored clothing; fur-trimmed collars and sleeves; and serious opulent embroideries. The mood is much colder -not only in the sense of temperature, but the feeling, like it's void of emotion with a serious luxurious feel.
The ultra-furry Russian hat: Anna Sui and Dolce & Gabbana
The opulent embroderies: Miu Miu and Roberto Cavalli
The cold, imperial coats: Giorgio Armani and J.Mendal
For the English: This means a whole lot of designs, including the monochrome 60s, 'heritage' sweaters and Victorian designs. A lot of these designs also tend toward the 'cold' factor -very obviously different from the fun boho mood this summer. Here's a few inspiration for the various English looks:
Heritage: Paul Smith and Chanel
Monochrome 60s: Christian Dior and Chanel
Victorian Lady: Chloe and Jean Paul Gaultier
