Creepy Footwear

While browsing through Prada's website, I stumbled upon Prada's Mary Jane Knee-high boots from its F/W 2011 Collection. I should say that this US$1400-priced pair of boots reminds me of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and makes me imagine how a chopped-off leg from a very classy woman would look. Creepy!

I know that its starting to get cold and wintry in the northern-hemisphere at this moment but isn't this going to scare your mates' heads out? LOL.

Still have cravings to see more creepy footwear? Scroll down mate.

LOL,

Signature Styles

noun

1. any name, symbol, figure, letter, word, or mark adopted and used by a manufacturer or merchant in order to designate his or her goods and to distinguish them from those manufactured or sold by others. A trademark is a proprietary term that is usually registered with the Patent and Trademark Office to assure its exclusive use by its owner.

2. a distinctive mark or feature particularly characteristic of or identified with a person or thing.

It's funny how I think that a pair of laced-up sneakers with a red lining on its soles is a Converse and it turns out to be something else. Although I was pretty sure that the style was Converse-like, it wasn't. It was just my own prejudice that decided to identify it as a pair of Converse sneakers. But really, signature styles or "Trademarks" of things make us remember which is which or such. For other things such as fabrics used for purses, shoes, or its design, it's easier to identify which brand or what's it made of when you know a material or a brand's signature look.

BALENCIAGA

Who would forget Balenciaga's signature studs and fringes? This style caused commotion to the world's fashion industry as it has brought back the glamour of fringes and the boho look.

CHANEL

How about Chanel's quilted purses and chains for the bag handles? Everytime I see a bag with chain handles, all I can think of is Chanel.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

For Alexander Mcqueen, it's the skulls! Definitely it is the skulls!

MISSONI

Missoni's trademark: the colourful chevron-zigzag patterns. When you see these bold and bright zig-zag patterns on collections shown from fashion show catwalks or in just some random stuff such as throw pillow cases or rugs, it's definitely a Missoni or something inspired by it.

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO

Sophisticated bow designs on shoes? It must be a Salvatore Ferragamo!

BURBERRY

Burberry's plaid is something that really marks almost all of their products from shirts to bags and even their shoes. The plaid maybe be harmonised by different colours of backgrounds but the essence of Burberry's signature plaid remains.

JIMMY CHOO

Jimmy Choo's belt-ish designs made me think that it is the signature look for this specific brand which rocks an edgy and stylish look.

CHLOE

I don't know but everytime I pay a visit to the department stores, all Chloe bags that I see have this hard U-shaped design. It must be Chloe's signature look? Or my eyes just have problems.

MULBERRY

And who would not recognise a down-to-earth-ish sling messenger bag with a braided handle named after Alexa Chung? Ofcourse no one (!) would dare coz it's Mulberry's signature look.

These are some of the trademarks that I have eyed-on. How about you guys? Have you experienced thinking that something is a __ because of how it looks? :)

Always,

Jung Saem Mool

Hi everyone! While I was browsing for some make-up videos in YouTube today, I came across a woman who is a very good make-up artist. She did the make-up for very popular and beautiful Korean actors and actresses such as Song Hye Kyo, Lee Hyo Ri, Jeon Ji Hyun, and Kim Tae Hee. Her specialty is Korean make-up artistry as she is a Korean, herself.

"Colorful Story"

You can check out her make-up videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/jungsaemmool

Style Icon: LEIGHTON MEESTER

If you have watched Gossip Girl, rocked the parties with the song "Good Girl's Go Bad", or seen a Herbal Essences advertisement, you might have encountered the name of a stunning brunette-haired lady that have made us exclaim "Oooh..." and "Aaaaah..." with her gorgeous smile, fashion-forward looks, and traditional elegance.

Her name is Leighton Meester.

An endorser of campaigns, ads, and products such as Vera Wang's Lovestruck, Nikon's coolpix series, Reebok's Top Down sneakers, Herbal Essences hair products, and more. She also graced us with her acting skills in a number of movies and most-especially in the TV series of Gossip Girl as Blair Waldorf.

Whether in the set or just strolling around town, she manages to be stylish and look so fab.

Don't you just love her?

xoxo,

What to write?

I think I have reached the point that all blog beginners reach, the point where you get clueless on what to write next. It's probably because, at the moment, my life has been plagued by my studies. Yes, I'm still in my exam period. The time when other people go about and seem to have lives while I just sit in front of my 1100+ paged book, lifeless. I just wish that this would end already! Gaaah!

Studying forever,

Burberry Iconic Checks

Disclaimer: This blog post is created not to show-off but to serve as a note on my opinion about the product/s. All products mentioned as bought were purchased with my own money. If you have any violent reactions with these kind of articles, please feel free not to read this post.

I know I have been MIA lately with a reason that, pretty much, every one has already said: GOT BUSY WITH SCHOOL STUFF. lol. Anyways, I got a new Burberry bag last week. I bought it because I wanted a smaller bag that would suit any event, whether it may be a morning or an evening one. And I should say that the bag that I got was the perfect one for my "GOAL" and "BUDGET". :)

Burberry Large Nova Check Bowling Bag

Before I have concluded my choice, I have researched (Yes! School stuff! hahah!) about the different check designs that Burberry have. And from the "research" that I did, I came up with four different types: the Haymarket, House Check, Smoked Check, and the Nova Check.

Burberry Haymarket Check Tote Bag

The Haymarket Check design

The classic Burberry iconic Haymarket check designs are characterised by the checkered black and white lines with red crossings and the Burberry equestrian knight logo. This design displays a more matured and formal look.

Burberry Large Bridle House Check Tote Bag

The House Check design
The house check designs are represented by its unique deep or light khaki brown background colour for the black, white, and red checkered lines. This exudes a more sophisticated working class look.

Burberry Medium Smoked Check Hobo Bag

The Smoked Check design
The smoked check design is uniquely defined by its muted colour effect that, when compared to the other check designs, have a lighter shade of colour for its background and iconic checkered lines.

Burberry Small Nova Check Tote Bag

The Nova Check design
The latest of all Burberry's iconic check designs showcases a more youthful outlook with its bold colours and big checkered prints.

Obviously, as written on the caption of the first photo, I got a bag with a Nova Check. I chose the design because I thought that all the check designs exude different characteristics in them. (Or probably not). I just also believe that the nova check bowling bag is a very versatile and practical choice.
