Memo - Friday, April 25 2007
2008-04-24 18:30:00
Hi Darlings...I AM BACK!!!!! I am finally back from my four month breakie. I know I left for a little too long, but I needed the time to sort things out. As my mum put it, I had a bad case of Feng Shui. First, I lost my passport and was stuck in Japan. Then, fell ill when I attended a wedding in Bali. When I was visiting relatives in Malaysia, the car I was riding in just burst in flames - no one was hurt as it was a small fire. Later, I travelled all the way to Turkey for a fashion show, but the organizers said that they did not book me. Luckily, I have a shark of an agent.After these series of 'unfortunate events', I had to take a rest. So, I went on a sabbatical (won't tell you where). Well, I am really happy to be back. Since I stoped blogging four months ago, Haute Stuff turned ONE. YAY!!! YAY!!!I am sorry for not saying this earlier, but thanks guys for your wonderful comments. I never thought Haute Stuff would last a year. So, thank you very much. There won't be any new p...

Gossip Girls - Jenny
2007-12-05 07:43:00
Gossip Girl - Jenny Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen)At age 14, Jenny is the youngest of the Gossip Girl characters. She has long, blond hair (Similar to that of Serena Van der Woodsen). She is the younger sister of Dan Humphrey. Jenny is an aspiring artist and holds a secret desire to be a model like Serena van der Woodsen, whom she eventually befriends. She often tries to fit in with the rich girls at her school, even though she does not hold a place in their social sphere. She often goes on wild and embarrassing exploits to set up an image for herself- for example, accidentally starring in a photo shoot for an article entitled "Does Breast Size Matter?", getting a scandalous video of her and Nate Archibald circulating on the Internet, and spending a little too much time with a popular indie rock band called the Raves. She ends up going to boarding school, Waverly Academy, to reinvent herself as the 'It Girl', a la Serena. She is now the main character in a spin-off series called '...

All That Shimmers Is Gold
2007-11-19 07:31:00
All That Shimmers Is Gold I really want this... This stunning minaudiere combines two of life's most coveted things - gold and this jewelery-meets-accessory Louis Vuitton mini bag. A white gold minaudiere debuted in Fall/Winter 2006. However, with yellow gold being the metal du jour this year, Louis Vuitton created an 18-carat gold version.This uber exclusive minaudiere features the Louis Vuitton signature logo and monogram flowers manually embossed onto its exterior. This masterpiece not only requires remarkable and dedicated skill, but an incredible 300-man-hours of focused work.Naturally, the clutch is made to order and takes six to eight months to create. So, how much is this fashionable gold bar? Approximately $355,500.00!!

The Mid-Autumn Festival.The Mid Autumn festival also called the Mooncake festival is celebrated every year on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. When the moon is at its maximum brightness for the entire year, the Chinese part of me celebrates ?zhong qiu jie? (I?m sorry I can?t spell it in Chinese characters. I can only write my Chinese name).When I was a little fashionista, my mother will tell me the story of the moon fairy who comes out to dance on the moon's shadowed surface. The legend surrounding the ?lady living in the moon? dates back to ancient times, to a day when ten suns appeared at once in the sky.
