Red Carpet at the 19th Jinji BaiHua Film Festival Closing

Stars walked the red carpet at the closing ceremony of the 19th JinJi BaiHua Film Festival. Some turned up in hideous ensembles.. I'll leave it for you to judge..

Xuan Gu
Bai Jing
Che Xiao
Koon Ella
Cheng Qingsong and Yan Qingyu
Gao Baobao [wedding gown?!]
Ma Su
Johnny Zhang
Luo Xiaodong with wife
Miumiu (巩新亮) [err... at a film festival, seriously?!]
Yan Danchen
Yao Miao
Momoco and Anchorwoman Jing Wei
Yung Hung and Ju Wenpei
Maggie Siu [*sigh* I know its alittle cold but on the red carpet?!..]
Yuan Li [oh god]
Zhang Ziyi
Liu Xiaoqing
Fanny Shu

Overall, Fanny Shu and looked stunning in that gold dress and I really liked Chen Xiao's outfit. Zhang Ziyi normally picks gorgeous dresses for events, what happened this time? I wasn't feeling it. Strangely, I couldn't find Vicki Zhao's picture on the red carpet, but here's a picture of her giving her acceptance speech, and yes, she was wearing BOOTS. *smacks head on table*

Li Bing Bing for Harper's Bazaar Singapore October

Actress Li Bing Bing (李冰冰) was featured on the cover of the October issue of Harper's Bazaar Singapore. She wears a John Galliano gown which she coincidentally wore on the cover of the September issue of Harper's Bazaar Hong Kong.

Li Bing Bing's latest movie "Detective Dee (狄仁杰之通天帝国)" is receiving explosive responses from movie goers.









Li Bing Bing in September issue of Harper's Bazaar Hong Kong:



I can't believe she was given the same dress to wear, such a shame. And the outfits for both editorials were really similar too. Strange. But she looks amazing as ever.

Zuzanna the Blueberry Dress

Ok, so I was browsing Brandalley today and I saw this dress...

Isn't it so preeeetty~?! It's by Cynthia Steffe, whom I've not heard of before. But I love this dress! And it's called Zuzanna, ok, I usually think it's weird to give dresses names, but look at it! It's so Preeetty! It's totally a Zuzanna with a Z for the leather trimming for the waist band and on the zips (because its badass, get it?... ok, nvm). Also the colour, it's not called the blueberry dress for nothing, the colour is so rich and deep, love it. I have no idea which season this is from, probably from a few years ago, it's being sold on Brandalley after all.

Me wants it!

I wonder how Zuzanna would look in my wardrobe...

LDN 2!

During the trip, I was trying to explore as many boutiques and vintage shops as i can. The outcomes of this was getting abit lost but on the bright side, I found shops that weren't known to my knowledge. woop! The vintage shops I found that were particularly good was Berty and Gerty in Camden, Wow Retro in Covent Garden. My fav however was Blackout II in Covent Garden, they had the most gorgeous collection of handbags! Vintage handbags are like my thing atm.
Covent Garden is differently my most fav shopping location in London now, there are too many boutiques to count and each one different to the next in a way that u can find amazing things in every one. It's definitely a must visit shopping site if you want unique pieces.

LDN!

I was in London last week on a rare visit. I came across this great shop by the label of JC de Castelbajac. I haven't heard of this label before but looking in the window, i immediately wanted to check it out. When I went in, i certainly wasn't disappointed... I didn't take pics inside the shop so I Googled some. I saw the cutest bag ever in there, it was in the shape of a treasure chest. I wanti! The label has fantastic cartoon prints all in brighter than bright colours. It's a great label for those who love their inner child. I am in Love with the new pirate/nautical collection and just in general with Mr Castelbajac's imagination.

Alexander McQueen's Last Collection

Hours ago, a select group of fashion editors viewed a presentation of the last ever collection from the late Alexander McQueen...
Sixteen exquisite outfits were paraded in an ornate Parisian salon, to assembled editors who were invited by appointment only to see the clothes.

The collection continued signature themes the designer had explored previously from royalty (scarlet robes) to religion (including a dress featuring angel wings on the back - reflected in the giant mirrors of the salon), the clothes displayed all the hallmarks of McQueen's couture-quality flights of fantasy - a gold coat is entirely constructed of gilded feathers.

Model Frida Gustavsson, who walked in the show, tweeted earlier "Feeling so blessed and honored to be a part of the alexander mcqueen presentations today, celebration of a true genius, so beautiful so sad."

The whole collection is so beautiful, all the details are so amazing, especially the Gilded pieces. And how cute are the angel wings on the backs of dresses? My favourite piece is probably the floor-length white gown (the last picture above) and the belted gold mini-dress.
