Happy 40th Birthday, the DVF Wrap Dress

Diane von Furstenberg recently launched it's limited edition collection - Pop Wrap, a DVF and Andy Warhol collaboration.

It was touching when Diane von Furstenberg introduced her granddaughter, Talita, during the LA launch party, pointing out that she’s wearing Amelia Wrap Dress. Coco Rocha, the MC of the night, asked her “What is it to you now?” Diane von Furstenberg’s answer made me laugh: “it pays for all my bills, my children’s education, everything ...”

Diane designed the very first wrap dress when she was 23 years old. “It was a shirt dress actually .... for women to wear daily.” And she wrote “Feel like a woman, wear a dress!” in dark blue ink. That’s probably her first popular Montra. For the second generation of the Wrap Dress, it targeted the young hip girls. Women wore this iconic dress to feel respected, powerful and feminine. Celebrities like Madonna, or the US First Lady, Michelle Obama, have been seen in DVF Wrap Dresses at memorial moments.

Mr.Mr.

After Taeyeon posted this bedazzled apply on Instagram, all fans are anticipating Girls’ Gerneration’s comeback.

It seems to be forever since the “I Got a Boy” comeback. Glad that SM dropped the 1st teaser on the following day. It’s set in a hospital, approaching the doctor-nurse fantasy. Varied shads of pink and sparks flash through out the whole teaser. FYI the YouTube view has surpassed 2.57 million in 5 days.

Following the teaser, three new teaser cuts were released every following day to award fans and tide up the anticipations.

Valentine's Day (Chinese Lanterns' Day too!)

Happy Valentine's Day and Chinese Lanterns' Day!

BALMAIN - Asymmetric dress

Known for its chic and edgy style, Balmain never fails to introduce female power to us. This bright pink dress will armor you up as the queen of the night. The ruffled neckline is so feminine that is perfect for special occasions.

Hallmark - Sarah Jessica Parker

If you've visited the Gold Crown Hallmark store recently, it is very hard to miss the glamours and sweet new collection designed by Sarah Jessica Parker.

Not a big fan on her shoe collections, I fall in love with her Hallmark collection impulsively. I had to fight the urge to purchase the whole collection. Each card is thoughtfully designed, targeting female customers. The detailed lace, elegant flowers and warm colours appeal to women in general.

“When you think of Hallmark, you think of kindness and caring. Those are values that are important to me, that reflect the wife, friend and mother I want to be and what I want to help foster in others,” said Sarah Jessica Parker. “I’m excited to be involved in a project that will give people something tangible and fun, warm and sincere, to hold onto and remember the people and relationships that really matter.”

Please check the video clips from the launch party. One thing I couldn't agree more is that, a card or a note can last forever for someone you love, you care and you want to be with.
