LONDON FASHION WEEK F/W '09

What I like so much about London is that they're always on point! London Fashion Weeks are my favourite. And I really have to applaud Michael Kors for his, as he calls it, "understated but glamorous" look. I love how he incorporated a little bit of the 80's by adding shocks of neon to his look.

The students at Central St. Martins also did a wonderful job. One student in particular stood out for me, Laura Mackness. I will post more pictures of her work later. I thought she was brilliant.

ROBOTS HAVE FEELINGS?

Hong Kong's Rock Candy designed a line especially for the holiday we love (or hate) so much, Valentine's Day. From Mr. Robotto to the dogtags, these gifts are unique and supercute. Your superfunky girlfriend is going to love it, and, they're suprisingly afforable. Prices range from $3,000 - 42,000 HKD (approximately $ 387 - 4,200 USD)

I WANNA REDECORATE MY ROOM

I created this moodboard like a year ago, I just want my room to be light, simple but a little bit eclectic. I like to mix different styles. I was thinking to paint my walls off-white or shell pink. IDK!

STYLE ICON: ZOË KRAVITZ

Daughter of rockstar Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet. She is too cool for school. She's my new style icon. I mean growing up with Lenny as your dad and Lisa as ur mom, all that creative energy must be contagious. And it shows! I love this girl.

LIZ CLAIBORNE READY-TO-WEAR FALL '09

Playful and vibrant are the right words to describe this collection. By the way the bikes will be auctioned online! Keep an eye on the Liz Claiborne website.

WE CAN'T AFFORD IT, BUT WE CAN DAMN SURE LOOK AT IT!

The Spring 2009 Couture Week in Paris was quite fascinating. While others kept it minimal, simple and clean (cough cough.. Chanel, Elie Saab, Givenchy). Christian Lacroix and Christian Dior were not afraid to be loud. Really, who can ever stop Galliano from creating?

THE SECRET INGREDIENT FOR YOUR VALENTINE

Valentine's day is approaching and many of us are clueless on what to do. It's the same old story every year. Hearts get broken, Cupid's arrow missed it's target.
What can you do about it? Here are ten aphrodisiacs to make sure the two of you will get into "the mood".

1. Chocolat - Not exactly and aphrodisiac but it increases the release of serotonin in the brain. Just like sex it makes you feel good. No harm in that right?

2. Oysters - The Romans ranked this aphrodisiac very higly because of the method of consumption and the resemblance to a woman's genitals. This one is for the men, oysters are said to increase testosterone and thus increase the male libido.

3. Getting In Shape - Being in shape or working out increases your selfconfidence. A healthy diet makes you feel energized and you'll feel less drained towards the end of the day. Which can give your love life that extra push it might need.

4. Strawberries - Ladies we know very well the effect of this on men. Need I say more?

5. Avocado - The Aztects believed this to be an aphrodisiac because advocados grow in pairs. It resembeled the male's testicles. The texture of this fruit is smooth and sensuous. Serve as an appetizer. Cut in cubes and sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and freshly ground pepper.

6. Almonds - It's aroma is said to induce passion in a female. Try Marzipan (a sweet almond paste) after dinner.

7. Liqourice - It is particulately stimulating to a woman. Chewing on liqourice root is thought to enhance love and lust.

8. Nutmeg - I've tried this one and you might want to go easy! Sprinkle a little bit in your pumpkin soup or coffee. You'll get a drunken feeling minus the heaviness. It can also cause hallucinations. But don't get any ideas, too much (anything over 4 teaspoons) of this spice can be fatal.

9. Vanilla - The scent of vanilla is said to increase lust. Use this ingredient in your apple pie and feed your boyfriend/girlfriend.

10. Wine - Even though alcohol is a depressant, wine helps you to relax and it stimulates your senses. One glass is enough to do the trick.
