I know I want this LOL [Topman]

Exhibitionist match, isn’t it? It’s getting even hotter this summer, I assume.

Well, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana surely have absolutely damn good eyes as they chose those Italian football players to strip their kit off in the latest ad campaign for Dolce & Gabbana underwear. And thanks to Mariano Vivanco, internationally-famed fashion photographer who has contributed a lot to this Italian-based fashion house.

I don’t like football, soccer or whatever it is called, but one thing for sure is that it is not too shabby. All in all, presentation is somehow what counts needless to say.

Just take a look at her 2006 US Open journey where eventually she ended up as the winner. She made a huge sensation there by sporting little black dress (or LBD) as her choice of her outfit. Of course, tennis fans, especially hers, were wowed since no one had done so before; it was uncommonly outrageous and at the same time fabulous. She said that she was inspired by Audrey Hepburn + Breakfast at Tiffany’s in the process of designing it.

Maria Sharapova's 2006 US Open Dress

Or her 2007 French Open dress which was voted as one of the Vogue’s Top 10 Dresses of the Week. As what she said in a statement, “I got voted one of Vogue’s top 10 dresses of the week! I beat out many dresses at the Cannes Film Festival.” Although she didn’t win, it was still her best result in French Open; she reached the semis back then.

And now let’s move forward to 2010. She was ousted in the first round of Australian Open earlier this year. Damn, that was bad, the worst probably. I think her dress was too much, seriously. Just google it if you don’t believe it. And maybe it kinda contributed her loss there, sorry. However, many people have been talking about her dress for the upcoming Grand Slam, French Open. When I first saw it, I felt like it was absolutely another perfection brought by her. And if she gets things right aside from her dress, she will seal the victory proudly in it.

if the dress is worn...

It’s not officially confirmed, but one thing for sure is that it would be one of her best dresses she’s ever worn that probably might bring back her 100% form. Plus, I think that it is another Vogue’s-Top-10-Best-Dresses-of-the-Week dress haha. Good luck, Maria ♥

p.s. I’m tired of seeing the lame version of her this year, so please don’t lose! Show us that you’re still a true champion!

*drum roll opening*

…HERMÈS!

and imagine that guy above, Flint Lockwood of Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs, is replaced by:

[IT'S ALREADY MERCEDES-BENZ NY FASHION WEEK SPRING 2010]

*turn on the music, people*

Someday, sooner or later, I’m gonna get its RSVP

I’m gonna walk into Bryant Park swankily and also with a smile full of vanity

Sorry, front row’s taken, this seat is mine

I’m gonna replace that guy above

and I won’t take no for answer

I’m gonna clap my hands insolently

and spread my inner chutzpah all over the place

‘Cause eventually I’m gonna be there!

D&G: Anthology (photographed by Mario Testino)

And I want the L’Amoureux 6 which is portrayed by Noah Mills:

The scent is created through the combination of spices and musk that consist of: bergamot, juniper, pink pepper, birch leaf, cardamom and orris heart, with a wood and musk base. I can guess that it is really charming, you know, the fragrance. It is sold at price roughly around USD 65 to USD 75. I’m wondering if it’s already available here, considering the fact that it was first launched quite some months ago. Oh yeah, speaking of the ads, I think they are zuper zexy lol I cannot love it any other way around I always adore Mario Testino’s works; he’s just incredibly a genius, needless to say!

OH MY GOD, I WAS VERY SHOCKED INDEED WHEN I OPENED MY EMAIL INBOX AND SAW THIS EMAIL!

Alessandro Sartori, the creative director of Z Zegna, can be reached directly online, real time by opening the official website of Z Zegna on June 23, 2009 at 3 PM CST. We can actually interact and chat live with him!!! Come awwnn, he’s THE creative director. So, for those Zegna’s worshiper, don’t miss this erratic chance, dude!!! Plus, it’s also the live show of Zegna’s Summer 2010 from Milan Fashion Show and it’s the FIRST TIME ever!

p.s. 3 PM CST means it’s 3 o’clock in the morning in Jakarta, Indonesia. Whatever! Instead, it means the internet connection is at its best quality since it’s 3 in the morning, others still fall asleep you know lol

Why did I chose this combination? Well, I really do like seeing coats although I live in Indonesia which is terribly hot. And here I think the colour of that coat is simply magic plus its back is unbelievably cool! I can imagine how the fabric moves. The boots? Yeah, I love boots, too. They’re simply classically unique. Okay, let’s move on to the pants. Hmm, I like those pants on the model because they’re loose-fitting, but not too loose; they look just perfect! And they’re tucked into the boots which makes them look more neatly chic. I try to keep the necklace simple, but still can make some effect to the overall look of the model. The top is originally a tube look-alike, so it’s a perfect candidate to be mix-matched with coat. Plus, when the coat is put off, I think the top still can pull it off, you can imagine that I suppose. And the last is the bag. Girls need a bag for sure, whatever happens. And here, I chose clutch because it looks very elegantly effortless. But, there are still some small details to embellish it. Just love it! The overall look, both the front view and the back one are just seamless. 

‘kay so what do you think readers? What I write here is only from my point of view, lemme know about yours

Okay, days ago, when I went to Pacific Place, I came to Ermenegildo Zegna store and I found a cute wallet. However, the price? Not. Cute. At all. It was actually on sale; the price was originally around USD 850-something, but it was on 50% sale. So, it was reduced up to USD 425-something. Still expensive, biatch! lol. I desperately still want to have that wallet, I don’t care whether it’s replica or whatever as long as I have it. It’s not really special by any means. The design is very standard, very easy to copy lol. The important thing about this wallet is the Ermenegildo Zegna’s inscription embedded at the bottom right corner of it. That’s what makes it astronomical. Seriously, the design is no surprise, no biggie. Just a standard rectangular wallet. But, still, if anyone wants to buy me one, I’ll absolutely be honoured to have it hehehe.

But now, after browsing some stuff on the internet this afternoon, I changed my mind (a little lol); I finally ended up at SaksFifthAvenue.com . There, I immediately clicked on The Men’s Store section and then searched for any wallets from any brands. Then my eyes, my hungry eyes, caught this item:

Prada Spazzalato Leather Envelope

Gaaawd! Isn’t it sensationally cunning??? I felt as though I were drooling over the picture; it’s PRADA, people! It’s just fuh-reakin’ marvelous, me can’t stop looking at it hahaha. At first, I thought that it was for women because of the shape itself and the colour is absolutely red, BUT it was put in the men’s section. There are two available colours: Red and black. The red one is called the Rosso and the black one’s the Nero. Here’s the picture of Nero:

But, I prefer the red one needless to say. I think the colour is just totally stunning and of course fierce! Hot Red! Haha. Plus, the price is much, much, much cheaper than the Zegna one, this Prada only costs USD 195. Come aawwwnnn! It’s Prada and it’s less than two hundred bucks! Who doesn’t want it, huh? Well, the other specifications are:

Smooth leather wallet with an envelope-style design and  finely detailed metal logo accent.

DUE TO HIGH DEMAND, A CUSTOMER MAY ORDER NO MORE THAN THREE UNITS OF THIS ITEM EVERY THIRTY DAYS.

See, it really is a best seller! I MUST HAVE IT!!! I’d better beg my parents until they finally agree to buy me one hehehe. Mum, Dad, please lemme have this one, please? I’m begging you two, hehehe. I won’t take no for an answer, you know *still imposing despite of the begging side hahahaha*

Aldhin xx

p.s. Seeing this kinda thing really puts my mood back together hahahaha I shall be dreaming of it tonight in my sleep lol
