Addicted to Looklet
Posted by roanne in Fashion Reviews, Looklet, fashion on September 26, 2009
Going back, I hurriedly rushed on creating my first look as soon as I learned about the contest. Not that I’m in dire need of a new phone, I’m just interested in joining and see if I got what it takes to win or to have my style noticed at least. I quickly submitted my first work as soon as I’m done mixing and matching stuff for my doll. And then, I jumped onto my second look, and my third, fourth…it doesn’t stop there! 
Simply put: I got hooked. It was very time-consuming, yet it actually teases my imagination and stirs my creative juices at the very least. It’s nice coming up with a few pieces that’s so faboosh (well IMO)–something I’d like myself to wear on any day.
Here’s some of the looks I created:
*Palettes are so basic. Just black, ecru and tan. Looks casual, yet sosyal. Parang CVS style.*
*The key item is the lovely floral tulip skirt that matches well with the Victorian collared top. I’m beginning to love the clean, elegant look!

Stylish Ego Laptop for the Fashionable Moi!

No, I don’t own an Ego laptop. How I wish I could, but knowing its price makes me fall off my chair!
Recently, I stumbled upon this ultimately gorgeous laptop from Gizmag, as it showcased the Tulip E-Go Diamond that costs a hefty $350,000! Well, that’d certainly cost me a not just an arm and a leg, but a head.
Released late in 2006 in the US, the laptop certainly looks like the iBook G3–the clamshell laptop released by Apple way back in 1999, that looks like a powder/mirror compact. The only difference, aesthetically aside from the “tulip logo”, is that you can customize the laptop skin by choosing from the wide arrays of lovely interchangeable skins available. It also comes with a matching sophisticated laptop bag.

Of course, being technically stylish has still its own price. An Ego laptop sans the diamond encrusted skin usually costs more or less $5,000. It’s currently available on selected stores in the US, Middle East and Europe. Check Ego Lifestyle website for more info.
If you’re from the Philippines, don’t fret ‘coz you can grab this fab baby by visiting IM-HM.com (an online store owned by Bianca Zobel).

Japanese Street Style proves to be unique, trendy and colorful. Every ensemble is so iridescent, you won’t get bored looking at them. Though some may think it’s a fashion overkill, I, on the other hand, beg to differ. It’s really amazing how these people pull off different (sometimes contrasting) prints, patterns and fabrics and put them altogether. Surprisingly, they make this audacious style work quite well!
I haven’t really donned something like this in the Philippines. Well, it’s because of the given tropical weather that holds me back to layer clothes, lest I would end up being drenched, or worse, soaked with sweat. However, there are some moments, particularly events, that pumps up my creative juices which make me wear a stylish, colorful garb without getting overblown by prints and patterns–consider it a moderate Japanese Street Style. 
Anyhoos, here’s some styles I’m eying for at the moment. I featured the latter @ All the Vanity (all pics taken from Style-Arena.Jp):

*Lovely monochromatic colors with hot pink & purple hues as contrast. Combining leather, satin and suede is just awesome!*
