The year 2009 has been particularly challenging for most of us around the world but as with everything else in the world, it has to come to an end and we all look forward to the more optimistic year 2010. If there is one thing so profound that I have personally learnt from what I [...]

A classic clutch is a basic investment for every woman. Take this vintage-inspired clutch, for instance, is in my opinion, a must-buy as its simplicity endures time, defies trends and goes with most evening outfits. Available in black, beige and brown at Saks for only USD595.

The French house nailed it again, don’t you think? It seems so effortless, like the design of this bag. Available for pre-order at Bergdorf for USD1,795.

Man Bags are generally not required to be fussy. A simple black one, made of good material with good craftmanship will normally suffice just like this YSL Manhattan Messenger bag. The bag is low-key, fuss-free and you won’t even know it is a YSL until you peek inside, which is cool this way. I like the [...]

The flap bag from YSL might look a little resembling the Muse Two but then again, when you get something right at the first place, why reinvent the wheel? This bag is more structured by nature and it also reminds me of Hermes Kelly. Is this bag meant to be a Kelly bag of YSL? [...]

Lily Allen might have scored a Chanel ad like Kate Moss but apparently it is true that when it comes to off-the-runway style, no one else comes close to the super of the supermodels. I always like seeing celebrities “abusing” their prestigious designer handbags like what Kate did (or maybe still does) to her Hermes [...]

Just when i had tot that the studded version is the ultimate YSL Easy bag, i came across the more refined sibling in the softest Nappa leather with zip details running around the “Y” on the bag. This bag is easier on the eye and less attention-seeking compared to the studded baby and it fits [...]

This is a heart-stopping beauty from YSL for Fall 2009. My heart skipped at least two beats when i saw this last weekend. The damage? Just SGD3,500 but think about how this bag will be extremely trendy for the next few months and become a fashionably classic afterwards. Stefano Pilati and his team over at YSL [...]

Finally i visited ION Orchard yesterday and while the interior design and arrangement of the mall is pretty much a let-down mainly due to its small walking space and big crowds, the shops are exciting and some are long due to arrive in Singapore. Taking the mall front are Prada, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Dolce & [...]

Ever since taking the top post in YSL over from Tom Ford as the Creative Director, Stefano Pilati has transformed the  respected French fashion house into THE bonafide house-to-go for the most lust-worthy bags. Celebrities, style icons, fashion magazine editors and fashionistas today know that for whatever it takes, they can’t miss a season of [...]

When Tom Ford stepped down from YSL back in 2004, the fashion community almost griefed to the fact that there might not be anyone else worthy to continue the momentum of reviving the beloved Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche. Karl Lagerfeld even went far to suggest closing down the ready-to-wear house and focusing only on [...]

YSL just knows how to take the fashion world by storm with bags that make statements. We’re all aware of the Muse successes: Muse and Muse Two, the sequel. Now this one, just like its predecessors, knows how to make every woman succumb to its irresistible croc quilted patent leather. With the unbeatable [...]

Today is the last day of year 2008. Time flies so fast, you might miss a year if you blink too much. We would like to wish you all the very best for year 2009. May the new year be a better one compared to 2008, remembering many less-than-pleasant memories over the past few months. May 2009 also [...]
