Caption This: Fashion is Not a 24-Hour Job

Look who went chav scum! I had to haul this much stuff with me when I checked out of the hotel to go to the BF's.

What's your favourite caption?

• "I'd take you down a darkened urban alley and facefuck you, sure."

• "Those trainers are the sort of things middle-aged Americans wear. Love has drained you of fabulous."

• "The Bryanboy Luggage Collection is available exclusively at Walmart."

• "Ecstasy dealer isdatchu?"

• "All you need is a VW badge around your neck and the look is totally Madchester circa 1992. It's not fashion-fail, it's fashion guru ahead-of-the-curve amaze."

Yes I know. I'm sorry.

I know I shouldn't say this but things are doing so great in my life right now that I am increasingly finding it difficult to sit down and blog.

Hat by Chanel, sweater by J Crew, shirt by Patrik Ervell, jeans from Uniqlo, bag from Pucci, sunglasses from Gucci, shoes from Kenzo.

Let's me post a few entries. Stay tuned.

Pre-Show Chat at Cheap Monday with FashionToast and Style Scrapbook

Pre-Show Chat at Cheap Monday with FashionToast and StyleScrapbook

Here's a funny video of me chatting to my gurl Rumi of Fashiontoast and Andy of StyleScrapbook at Cheap Monday. It's kind of embarassing that Rumi and I missed the odd show here and there (oops) but we were early birds at most of the shows we attended.

If you ask me, I don't mind being early at shows. In fact, being early is the way to go. When it comes to the big leagues, Anna Wintour, for the most part, is usually the first one to go in, first one to go out. Maybe someday I'll have car service when I go to the shows in NY/Milan/Paris? One could only wish...

View from my seat at the Hope spring/summer 2011 fashio show here in Stockholm. Hope is another personal favourite of mine.

I am obsessed with those leather wrap-around wedges. OBSESSED!

Berns Hotel Room 212 - Rumi Neely

Berns Hotel Room 212 - Rumi Neely

The spectacular Berns Hotel served as our home here in Stockholm.

My gurl Rumi Neely (that's Fashiontoast to you) stayed on the second floor and she invited me to visit her room (212). It's funny how she liked my room better than hers while I liked hers better than mine.

Cheap Monday Spring Summer 2011 Final Walkthrough Video

Thought I'd share this video I took of the Cheap Monday spring/summer 2011 fashion show finale here in Stockholm.

Keep an eye out for the legendary Kirsten Owen who walked the show. She's iconic! She's been modeling since the late 80s.

It's intriguing to watch this Swedish denim company evolve over the years. Cheap Monday's core DNA and foundation are their trademark skinny jeans, which, next season, comes in zebra stripes in gold glitter.

Spring/Summer 2011 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Stockholm

Hi guys... I'm back!

Susie, Rumi, Me, Hanneli and Elin at Whyred Spring/Summer 2011

As some of you already know on Twitter, I'm currently here in Stockholm for the spring/summer 2011 Mercedes Benz fashion week.

I apologize for the lack of updates recently as I have been extremely busy. It's not easy being a one-man circus, you know.

I have lots of photos and videos waiting for you so keep an eye out over the next day or so for updates. It's gonna be fun!

Quando, Quando, Quando by Dolce & Gabbana Trailer

Quando, Quando, Quando by Dolce & Gabbana Trailer

Fashion films are all the rage these days and Italy's favourite designer power duo, Dolce & Gabbana, recently produced a new movie called "Quando, Quando, Quando". The film was shot in Rome, starring the gorgeous Monica Belluci. Here's the trailer.

I smiled when I saw that group of men, especially the one who stuck his tongue out. I had flashbacks of what happened when I walked the streets of Florence in those vertiginous DSquared2 skeleton heels.

The Cult of Beckii Cruel

The Cult of Beckii Cruel

While the Filipino online community is going through a 'bekimon' phenomenon, a fourteen-year old British teenage girl who goes by the pseudonym of Beckii Cruel is making waves in Japan. Meet Rebecca Flint from Isle of Man aka  Beckii Cruel.

One thing I'll never, ever get is this insane Asian obsession with all things "cute" or "girly".

Halle Berry for Vogue USA September 2010 Issue Cover

Halle Berry for Vogue USA September 2010 Issue Cover

Here it is... the cover we've all been waiting for. Forty three-year old Halle Berry is the star of American Vogue's September 2010 issue.

First impression: WOW!!!!

Second GLANCE: WOW!!!!

Third look: Woah, that is some SERIOUS jawline.... and the neck.

What a glamorous cover. The haircut suits her well, too. Very sharp.

However... I think I'm the only one who will say this but isn't she supposed to be a black woman? She looks a few shades lighter...

I can't wait to see the magazine in print. I love Halle Berry and of course, I love American Vogue.

Talbots' Unbelievable Transformation Featuring Linda Evangelista

Talbots' Unbelievable Transformation Featuring Linda Evangelista

Holy shit. I'm at a complete loss of words. I just had to share this with you when I saw this image on my newsfeed. Supermodel (as in the TRUE supermodel) Linda Evangelista (shot by Mert & Marcus) is the star of Talbots ad campaign.

I'm very, very, very curious how Talbots customers would react to the image change. This is a major and I mean MAJOR overhaul. Talbots is renowned for no nonsense "REAL American" womenswear. We're talking about real real as in real real South Dakota or Wyoming or Idaho or something like that.

Can you imagine? This is probably the equivalent of snatching away a Midwesterner fashionista's People Stylewatch and shoving an issue of Vogue Paris down her throat instead.
