Havaianas Trail and Photo-Safari

To say these amazing pictures by Nick Brandt take my breath away is an understatement!

They slay me! You know when you see something so beautiful your heart aches?



How did he do it?




I think Nick deserves a pair of Havaianas Trail to use on his adventures!



XOXO,

Happy Friday! Something to think about.....

Here's a tough question: Do you believe change is the instant cure for a state of discontent?

I'm not so sure I agree with the poster above... do you? At the very least, it needs qualifiers like.... change your attitude, perspective etc.

Perming your hair and dying it blue is not your ticket to happiness.... Trust me!

Some people change their hairstyle, move to Italy, change jobs, have a boob-job, get married, replace their girlfriends, buy a masserati... whatever.... They change the external and are surprised when the discontent creeps up on them once again.....

What do you think?

Have you started Christmas shopping yet?

I adore these illustrations by Alena Ludovskaya from TSUM russia! Don't you?
These make me want to work on my Christmas list pronto so that I, too, can then lounge around and take naps in white fur on top my wrapped presents!

Do you believe in love at first sight?

My friend Cici, being French, enjoys discussing the important things in life over a good bottle of wine

So, the two of us got to talking about food, fashion, family, food, good wine, food, why designers are making tres stupeed-looking shoes, food and of course, l'amour....

Here's what we want to know: does love at first sight exist? Oui or non?

XOXO,

Somewhere in the universe.....

Havaianistas are having a Glam Rock Party Tonight!!!!!

Oh the leather! The Spandex! The GuyLiner! The Big hair! The Eye-shadow till the forehead!!!!!

Cue the sad music: Cut to scene of me, Cinderella-like ( after the evil stepsisters tore up her gown) running into the garden and collapsing into a heap of burbling snotty sobs.........






Why-Oh-Why can't we have a party like that here in Singapore?!!!!Uh-huhuhuhu.....sniff! sniff!

DIY Holiday Cards.....

Just pass me the Glue Gun and a pair of scissors!

I am channeling my inner Martha Stewart and making my own Christmas cards this year!( yep! she's in there somewhere, hidden underneath the clutter with all my other beloved but not oft accessed alter-egos... like my inner drag queen and inner Elvis Presley!)

Here are some ideas I'm toying with.....

1. Ric-Rac



2. Stick Figure Drawings



3. Magazine Cutouts...



4. Plain and Graphic


4. Felt...


Hmmmm....I'm thinking maybe a simple handmade ink Drawing gift tag and match the ink color to the Havaianas in the box....:)





XOXO,

Carrie Bradshaw for a day.....

Don't you have days when you wake up and wish you were a character in Sex and the City?



I want to wear a tutu and be Carrie Bradshaw today!


This Haute Hippie ballerina inspired dress would go so well with Gold Havaianas Fit! I could sashay and pirouette all over town in this!


What is your favorite SATC fashion moment?

Havaianas and Eco-Friendly Christmas Decor.....

I wonder if Havaianas makes Christmas ornaments? It would be great if they recycled their leftover rubber soles and straps and created a line of eco-friendly, fun Christmas ornaments. Maybe like these below....



I'd really like to do a modern, meaningful and earth-friendly spin on Christmas this year....



John Galliano's Tree For Claridge's in London is very non- traditional, as well! I love the Asian inspired feel to it..



A tree like this where everyone gets to write something they are thankful for is just lovely....what do you think? This would be great for an office! The Anonymous Post-It Tree of Thanks.....



Brilliant Idea for Havaianas, Sao Paulo: " Recycle left-over rubber material to make Christmas Ornaments......"

Have you started decorating yet?

The Sartorialist Book Is Here!!!!!

OH EM GEE! J left a lovely surprise on my bedside table this morning!!
I "forgot" to make breakfast, walk the dog, brush my teeth and started reading it right away.
I stopped dead on my tracks reading Scott's foreword on page 5.

Here's why:

"The comments on The Sartorialist website make the blog a living fabric. The audience interaction made me realize the variety of interpretations the same look can provoke. I might be totally entranced by a young lady's hairstyle, while someone else wont be able to stop looking at her flipflops".

How creepy is that?! How does he know that is what I do?Hahaha!

The book is filled with our favorites Carine, Giovanna, the gentlemen of Milan and regular folk like us.

For $42.52, this would make a great Christmas present for your photography or fashion obsessed BFF/ lover/ spouse.

XOXO,

Doing something nice for yourself.....

I'm a big believer of always having one nice thing to look forward to every day.

It could be a nice cup of coffee, a nap, blogging, nasi lemak from my favorite place, cuddling on the sofa with my puppy and my family.

This exam season, don't forget to be kind to yourself and take a breather.....maybe you could get a funky pedicure.....



and the Havaianas to go with it!



XOXO,

Make Someone Smile Monday !

I propose we declare today " make someone smile Monday"!

The goal is to get as many smiles as you can!

Here's something that got me giggling over the weekend.....



XOXO,

Brilliant Idea of the Weekend!

This is Nacho Figueras- Argentinian polo player extraordinaire, face of Ralph Lauren fragrances and ranked by Vanity Fair as the second handsomest man in the world(second to Robert Pattinson?!! Oh the injustice!!!).



He is one of the world's top 100 polo players and has a handicap of 6.(I'm blushing! Look at me spouting all sorts of athletic statistics. The closest I've ever been to polo is staying in Marco Polo hotel in HK in the early 90's! However, having a handicap of 6 -whatever that means- seems very impressive, indeed)



This guy must have some Havaianas originals and some brown tops stashed in his closet. I can feel it in my bones!



Here he is going around NYC with his wife and equally hairy pal.

My Brilliant Idea of the Weekend is to propose to Havaianas in Sao Paolo that they hire Nacho to be a World Havaianas Ambassador for 2010. As Havaianas Ambassador, he gets to fly around the world, starting with Singapore, of course and host a party for Havaianistas!!!

Fan Bloggers get to pick him up from airport and this is how it'll go when he comes:

Me: Hola Nacho! Bienvenido a Singapore!

The heavens part and a ray of sunshine coming from the airport ceiling spotlights my person as Nacho directs his chocolate brown gaze at me....

Him: Gracias! Donde esta el servicio, por favor? Senorita, tengo que ir al bano! Lady, can you direct me to the bathroom please?!!!

My starstruck brain trying to process the words coming from his lips: (Whawahawha! Whawhawawawa, wa favor? Senorita, wawawawawhawa!)

And then, I'll promptly faint!

XOXO,
sassy
