Here's a place you can wear Havaianas all day long... Uxua Casa Hotel , Brazil

Diesel's creative director, Wilbert Das' hotel in Brazil, Uxua Casa Hotel has me dreaming of a vacation in Brazil. Or better yet, a little beach shack of my very own that I can fix up in this style.........simple, recycled and locally sourced materials, put-your-feet-up-on-the-coffee-table casual and chillaaaaaaahhxxxx.



Here's Wilbert in his Havaianas......


















Day dreaming of Brazil at the Vet's clinic......
Hope you are having a great day!

XOXO,

New Year..... New Look.... on a limited budget....

I just got glasses the other day and I'm taking it as an opportunity to revamp my look!

The Look: "Art gallery girl meets casual California boho"
The Budget: errr.... limited ... so I have to make use of things already in my closet!
The inspiration: An illustration by Garance Dore of an Isabel Marant Blazer...



Then, I saw this girl. Now.... THIS is how I want to look!

Sadly, I will never look that good in skinny jeans:(
But - good news! I just enrolled in a gym today!
The Goal: I will work out as fiercely as Shakira gyrates in Hips Don't lie! Genetics Schmenetics! I may just emerge victorious ... with the hips of a 12 year old boy!And if not? Who cares!

Materials:

Red Lipstick? Check!



Hmmm...... must experiment with colored glasses.......



Ay Caramba! Check this out..... Tie Dye! How California is Tie-dye?!
I used to be a pre-school teacher... tie-dye is my middle name! With a can-do attitude, a bucket and some fabric dye, I may just create some shirts for my new look!

This gold blazer is very Art Gallery Girl to me!!!! I have a jacket like this. I've never thought of combining tie-dye with something so fancy.

To Do: Steal Mr. J's white t-shirts and tie-dye them funky colors! Yay!



What about this?



Or this.....



These looks will be cute with my everyday uniform: jeans and metal mesh Havaianas!!!



Oh! I must invest in hair conditioner!! Also, I should banish my banana clip and goody rubber bands to the back of the closet!



And of course, no outfit is complete without my new dream accessory: a yummy brown vintage Chanel handbag!!!

Let us all hold hands and solemnly express our reverence ......... AHHHHHHHHH!

But, but, but.. since I only spent on fabric dye and hair conditioner... I can splurge on something, right?

To do: Must search vendors on ebay that donate their proceeds to Relief efforts in Haiti to see if they have something like this girl's fabulous bag!




And last, in case I'm not brave enough to wear tie-dye and stick with a white tee... Noir and Gold accesories (sourced from my own closet and maybe my mom's!):




There you have it.... Art Gallery Girl Meets California Boho look!

What do you think? Too crazy? Will I faint from heat stroke wearing blazers all over Singapore?

XOXO,
sassy

If these Havaianas could be turned into a room......

If this Limited Edition Havaianas Gold Metal Mesh could be turned into a room....




It would be this Eric Hughes designed dining room featured in Elle Decor! Can you believe that Paco Rabanne metal screen on the wall! AH-MA-ZING!



Happy Monday!

The Most Fashionable Man on the planet!!!

When I was two, we lived in Milan and my favorite game was to sit out on the balcony, people watch and shout Ciao to random passersby.

Oh how I wish I lived on the same street as Fiat scion, Lapo Elkann- The Most fashionable man on the planet! I would not get any housework done! I'd just sit and wait on my balcony to see what outrageous outfit he has on and shout: Ciao, Lapo!


Here he is in Saint Tropez , with his trademark Fedora and Black Havaianas!His gal pal is also wearing white Havaianas tops. Are you digging the hot pink sunnies?






I love his suits! Sure! They're a bit " out there" but my God! Italian Tailoring at its finest!





I find it so refreshing how he mixes and matches classic jackets with neon high-tops or raspberry fedoras!




Love you, Lapo!!!!!

XOXO,
sassy

Glow-in-the-dark: A modern interpretation.

I believe Glow in the Dark first made a big mark on our everyday lives in the 80's- that joyful era of ostentatious excess - when something neon or flourescent was the accessory de rigueur.

Then, in the the 90's, you went to smokey clubs with glowing dance sticks.

Nowadays, there's all sorts of modern applications for Glow in the dark.......



Here's a piece of graffiti artwork.....



Glow in the dark figures a lot in Hip Hop Fashion History....



OOOOOOH! A Glow in the Dark dress by New Delhi based, Manish Arora......




And then, there's Havaianas that will defintely be easy to find in the dark!Havaianas Glow in the Dark available at Ion Orchard now.

XOXO,
sassy
