The Inane Musings Of A Shopaholic

Hiatus

2009-09-10T22:36:00.003+02:00

I'm putting the blog on an indefinite hiatus. I just don't have the time to manage it at the moment.

Website: The Outnet.com

2009-04-16T10:46:00.004+02:00

Everyone knows about Netaporter.com. Gorgeous place, gorgeous items, less gorgeous prices.

Perhaps that's why Netaporter have launched a new website called theoutnet.com with lots of discounted designer goods. Up to 30-70% off. Furthermore, they have "Flashsales" - one is the "Pop-up sale" which is select items (chosen by a theme, designer etc.) on sale for 72 hours and up to 80%. And the other sale is "Going, Going, Gone" which is sales items continously further discounted, until someone snaps it up. Tricky business. If you wait too long, your bag or dress of choice could get snapped by someone else.

So far, the prices are alright. Prices are like if they were on sale on Netaporter.com. You just have the benefit of there being a sale 24/7 now. I would like a bigger selection though, something, I hope will come with the next sales season coming up.

Because I love Violet Affleck!

Celebrity Sighting: Leighton Meester

2009-04-03T14:17:00.007+02:00

Earlier yesterday, Leighton also went by the NBC studio as she was a guest in Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Beautiful outfit. I love the skirt - and coincidentally I just bought a similarly fluffy skirt in a similar stunning green colour two days ago. Great minds? Leighton was also carrying IT-bag; PS1, Proenza Schouler. I do love the bag, ~~but I don't think it's that much more special than any messenger bag.~~ Though, I do like it more for each time I see it. There is something casual and comfortable over it.

Edit: LOL, I have completely changed my mind. I seriously want it now! It would be perfect for me as a school bag.

Celebrity Sighting: Leighton Meester

2009-04-03T13:44:00.004+02:00

My favourite couple showed up to the Parsons Fashion Benefit 2009 Pre-party in NYC yesterday, looking very gorgeous together (Leighton in Calvin Klein) - as always.

I just love candid pictures of them. They always look so in love with each other!

Thanks: L-Meester.org

Celebrity Sighting: Olivia Palermo

2009-04-03T00:24:00.003+02:00

Gorgeous Olivia Palermo also showed up to the Topshop store opening looking fabulous. I especially love the white coat. I'm on the other hand, not so fond of the fringe vest from Topshop. I'm not much of a fringe kind of girl, actually.

Celebrity Sighting: Sienna Miller

2009-04-02T17:32:00.006+02:00

Sienna has had a meh fashion period. Or maybe, it's just because she's stayed out of the public eye as there were few sightings of her. Regardless, she looks fabulous is this simple, no-fuss outfit. And the hair is back to being healthy and great looking.

Celebrity Sighting: Emma Roberts

2009-04-02T17:27:00.004+02:00

Emma Roberts looks great in a simple, but not boring outfit at the opening of the new Topshop Flagship store in NYC. I think, I recognize the heels as Topshop. Most likely, her whole outfit is Topshop too though.

Gossip Girl

2009-03-31T13:17:00.002+02:00

I'm just posting a short message to let everyone know that I will no longer post videos of Gossip Girl. The show has completely destroyed itself. It's no longer watchable in my opinion. I'm not going to watch it anymore. It's over and done.

I'll definitely change my layout soon and I hope to make my blog more about fashion.

Celebrity Sighting: Olivia Palermo

2009-03-29T22:57:00.006+02:00

I'm generally not that fond of reality shows, and even less "faux-reality" shows. Still, I've definitely noticed Olivia Palermo. Bitch or not, she's stunning!

Celebrity Sighting: Emma Roberts

2009-03-29T22:41:00.003+02:00

I'm increasingly falling in love with Emma Roberts' style. I love her green dress and black sandals at Jay Leno's.

My Headbands

2009-03-25T17:24:00.002+01:00

Ooookay, I'm ready... Ready to join the I-am-addicted-to-headbands club.

This is my headband collection in all its glory - I blame Blair Waldorf for feeding my obsession!

Plus my latest two:

Fashion Update #46

2009-03-24T20:07:00.003+01:00

Okay. Technically, I'm cheating as I already wrote about the Temperley bag previously. However, I just received it today - and I loveeeeeeeeeee it so much! As in, really, really love it! So I think it's okay if I show off my beauty one more time, yeah?

Recap: Gossip Girl 2x19

2009-03-24T12:07:00.004+01:00

Thank you, God. No wait. Thank you, Blair.

The episode didn't totally suck because of a couple things.

A) Carter and Blair. YAY! So gorgeous and hot. Seb and Leighton had great chemistry together. Off the charts!

B) Carter pwns Chuck - again! LOL, I guess Chuck was only the master manipulator in the kiddies' league. Too bad, S had to go and ruin things. Major fail from Serena for taking my favourite GG boy away.

C) NB reconnects. I'm not a fan of NB, but I was really touched by their friendship scene. This is how it's done! I only wish, it had either been built up or taken place earlier in the season. I think NB could have a great friendship. Blair will always be fiercely loyal to Nate and Nate would be protective of her.

D) NV falls apart. Finally! Finally, the show is showing up what we have been waiting for - NV are SO wrong for each other. And I can't believe how the bitch was all teary-teary, when first of, she encouraged him to reconnect with his family and second of, fuck the back pack travelling whateves. It's SO much more important that Nate has his family, and he needs to spend time with them. An internship is a GREAT oppurtunity, especially, if you aren't the smartest tool in the crayon box like Nate is.

E) Wait. That's it.

Thanks: I think it's from L-meester.org

2009-03-23T21:24:00.001+01:00

Emma Watson continues to look mighty fine, here at Patrick Demarchelier Photo Exhibition Opening Party.

Thanks: Celebutopia

Looking forward to...

2009-03-23T18:00:00.005+01:00

The new movie about Coco Chanel with drop-dead gorgeous Audrey Tautou.

And the newest episode of "Kings", which I haven't had the time to watch yet. Sebastian Stan awaits me.

Celebrity Sighting: Emma Watson

2009-03-20T00:38:00.002+01:00

I love Hermione and by extention - I also adore Emma Watson. Especially when she's looking casually chic and youthful in the fab'est Burberry coat and skinny jeans.

Thanks: Celebutopia

Matthew Williamson For H&M Collection Preview

2009-03-20T00:15:00.005+01:00

Not long ago, H&M announced that their next guest designer would be English designer Matthew Williamson. Finally Nitrolicious has a sneak peak of the collection.

I'll have to say, while I think it's very fresh and interesting, it's not really my style. I think, I like the hot pink dress, the studded belt and the beige jumpsuit the most and I might look out for them, but knowing these "designer collections", they'll sell like hot potatoes.

Take a look at the collection which hit stores April 23.

More details and pictures here.

H&M May/June 2009 Product Preview

2009-03-20T00:00:00.007+01:00

Nitrolicious has as usual an update on upcoming H&M products.

I'm really loving the fun colour palette with colours like grey, nude and pink.
Look for the products in stores around May/June.

I know I'll be keeping an eye out for the harem pants, the grey dress with ruffles and the pink skirt with the black waistband!

More pictures here.

Click read more for my thoughts - spoiler alert.

Save for the very hot ending scene of ~~Sebastian Stan~~ Carter Baizen and Blair, I didn't care for this episode.

Oh wait, except from two places: One, when Elle dumps Chuck. God, I LOL'ed, it was WAY fabulous! The ho has to remind you of Blair, Chuck? And then subsequently when he waits for Blair while she's having fun with Carter Baizen, it was sweet!
