Golden Globe Awards Fashion

The Golden Globe Awards is known to be a lighter, carefree event. Actresses came dressed in a light-hearted fashion. Most focussed on metalics and whites. Here are some of the highlights:

Desperate Housewives stars:

Teri Hatcher in Donna Karan, Eva Longoria in Oscar de la Renta





Our favourtie modern icon of elegance, Nicole Kidman in Gucci





Radiating of youth and class, Natalie Portman dressed as a Bohemian chic in Chloe.

This year's sophisticated new girl, Emmy Rossum in Ralph Lauren.

Not so Bridget Jones like, Renee Zellwegar in Carolina Herrera

Best actress Hilary Swank in Calvin Klein

Charlize Theron in Christian Dior by John Galliano, very much like a fish/ mermaid.

And although The OC girls were not the stars of the Award, Mischa Barton still looked effortlessly gorgeous, and Rachel Bilson and Olivia Wilde looked chic.

Urban Outfitters Early Spring 2005

Just recieved the Urban Outfitters Early Spring 2005 Catalog today via snail mail (don't u just LOVE recieving mail?) and immediately started pouring over it for a hour. As I'm sure you can tell by now, the authors of this blog absolutely adores Urban Outfitters; they are affordable, they are chic and most importantly they are fashionable. What more can one want?







The theme this season appears to be going back to nature and being bohemian, with a lot of brown western belts, tiered skirts and cute feminine puffy sleeved shirts against a woodland backdrop-like a woodland nymph!! I especially love the outfit featured on page on page 25 with the yellow skirt, it looks like it belongs in my wardrobe. And the flower carved bangles on page 38 would go so well with it. I can't wait for spring to come!

More Drool -Worthy Shoes

After blogging a long entry last Sunday on Spring/Summer 2005's shoes, you would think I should be sick of shoes. But I am still obssessed with staring at the computer screen and drooling over certain shoes everyday. Here are some of my favourites:





Bottega Veneta - sort of a butterfly theme here.





Prada - just looks so classy and chic at the same time. What more can you ask for?



By the way, this blog's authors would love to hear from you! We would love to know what you think about the blog; about us; about fashion; about you; about anything! So email us at iamfashion @ gmail.com. Cheers.

Green Eyes on Ashley Olsen

We are completely envious and admire the way Ashley Olsen waits next to her car as Barneys employees load her car with many many shopping bags.







By the way, Harrods Girl ADORES her outfit. It is vintage-like, yet still cute and chic.

Prince Harry's Fashion-Faux

*Gasp* Someone topped Nicolette Sheridan and Serena Williams on the worst dressed list?



This impossible task was achieved by UK's grown-up-but-still-rebelious Prince Harry. I am most definately NOT saying that Prince Harry should have worn that outfit, (so please do not send me hate mails,) but I really do not think that Prince Harry meant to offend anyone. Sky.com (a UK TV News station)'s online survey results show that most people think that the Prince's choice was just 'harmless fun.'

I mean, come on, the Prince only graduated with two A-levels, (one B & one D btw.) Do you really think that he puts much thought into his outfit choices? The Prince definately needs to learn to be more responsible for his choices, but think of how boring the Royal Family would be without Harry. (Have you noticed how many times the word 'Prince' had been used in this entry? I just can not resist using 'Prince, Prince, Prince.')

UV Lights in Winter

Yes, you read right, UV lights and the threat they represent don't just go away because winter has arrived and the weather is all gloomy and cold outside. In fact, there is even UV lights at night! I won't go into the scientific details of it and bore you (unless you REALLY want to know- in that case leave me a message and I will sent you the whole scientific review paper I wrote on this topic for uni-which I got a very good grade on in case your were wondering) but to summarize everything, the UV lights creates free radicals on your skin and this sets off a whole chain reaction leading to the early aging of skin-including sagging, wrinkles and dark spots (plus UV lights causes skin cancers). And in winter, especially in places that snows, the snow reflects the UV lights and hence increases our exposure to it. So wear SUNSCREEN. And here are some tips to it:

• Apply sunscreen on 30minutes-1hour before sun exposure
• I know it can be sticky, but do apply generously. Most people under apply sunscreen and don't get the full protection of it
• Reapply every 2-3 hours
• A sunscreen of SPF 15 for daily usage is also recommended.

Using a sunscreen of SPF 15 is sufficient for winter. A good sunscreen would be the Waterwhite Brightening Lotion SPF 15 by H2O.

And while you are at it, don't forget your eyes, this is where the first sign of aging shows! Try Waterwhite Brightening Eye Cream SPF 12 also by H2O.

All these H2O products are all oil free, so you won't have to worry about blocking your pores or anything if you have oily/combination skin (like yours truly). And this eye cream is not too strong either, at our age using a too strong eye cream will lead to bumps under our eyes!



Note: I know that all that has been recommended are whitening products also, but they just happen to be so. The authors of this blog does not believe that a whitening product actually exists.
