Look du Jour: Ashley Olsen

And the answer, as most of you had guessed correctly, is none other but the Voguette we all love:

Carine Roitfeld! And those Givenchys really are to die for. And if you are wondering the reasons for two shoe posts in a row, it’s because I’ve been having a shoe obsession lately. And I think obsession is an understatement.

Yet another tag, this time from none other but the lovely Nina of Femme Rationale. Another list of six of my quirks/facts.

1. I have a set color palette for nail polish to wear for every season. A bit crazy, I know. But nonetheless, I do. During the fall, I wear shades of soft reds with gold undertones (inspired by the leaves); once winter comes around, I wear darker colors like burgandies & wine reds. For spring, I use pinks and beiges; & for the summer, I use magentas and neon pink.

2. I love philosophy. And I actually do enjoy reading books on them.

3. I absolutely love Walkers’ Butter Shortbread cookies. Simply delectable and a treat in the winter especially, nibbling on these cookies with a Starbucks Cinnamon Dulce hot coffee. And a big book to read, of course.

4. I always keep my magazines intact. I do refuse to rip out of them unless it’s Seventeen or something of the sort – but there’s nothing amazing to rip out in there anyhow.

5. I would love to be on Broadway or have a role in some production (especially Wicked, Phantom, or the Lion King). Not a lead role, however, but in the ensemble – many are always surprised when they hear me say this. Yes, the lead role would be amazing, but all you do is act & sing. The ensemble is what makes the show alive, in my opinion, taking the show from a mere story about the protagonist/antagonist into something real and alive. After seeing the Lion King, my first Broadway show, I fell in love with the beautiful costumes & dancing (the Lioness’ dance was most memorable). But for now, being in school musical’s is enough to fulfill this dream of mine :).

6. I cannot fall asleep without listening to music. So yes, my ipod is playing, all night long. And occasionally I will wake up, around 4 AM (this was actually Monday morning’s incident), with Ashanti singing. Which isn’t too bad, considering the last time I woke up to Tech N9ne’s “The Beast” – a song that is only mildly enjoyable when fully awake and in a hip-hop-ish mood.

And once again, I tag you all! You know the routine: tag someone, link them, let them know.

Look du Jour

I am currently in love with this outfit. The leather jacket, the boots, the hair – simply fabulous.

I love the laid-back, casual chic of this outfit. I absolutely love her hair; the “s” waves are done a bit blasé, as if she slept in it (no surprise if this was true). The black and white, of course, is the color palette for all things classic. Its a bit glam rock, simplified, with a leather jacket and loose, white tee. The tee falls at a perfect length – the leggings, in this case, are perfectly suited as fitted pants. And those buckled boots? Amazing. The perfect amount of details.

Now I just want to know what kind of perfume she bought in that shopping bag.

xoxo,

La C.
