Eye Candy for the (Emmanuelle Alt) Style Hungry

Style... It's that elusive factor. You either have it or not. Very well, Parisian Vogue's Fashion Editor, Emmanuelle Alt, has got it all and a bag of chips -- without effort. She's so rock 'n roll.

Sharing with you my extensive (LOL) collection of E.A.'s photos from the best ever blog in the whole wide world. It's Jak&Jil or nothing, bebe! Rawrrr... Devour, devour. ;)













Side Notes:

1. Regarding Ian Curtis (ha ha), some wuss thought I wasn't gonna publish his silly comment on my previous blog in the below. Of course, I dig scathing comments (view my profile under "interests"), and of course, I love Joy Division and have seen the movie "Control". WTF was Mr. Anonymous thinking?! LOL! =D

I have an epileptic friend whom I grew up with. I know of her seizures and the meds involved. Also, there is scientific proof that exercise is beneficial in combating depression. Perhaps, I wasn't kidding when I said that basketball would have made tortured souls --I meant those energy vampires who walk around thinking that the weight of the world is on their shoulders-- feel better. Chill, dude. Play basketball and don't read my blog if you take me too seriously! =D

2. Jak&Jil should be made into a coffeetable book. I know I'd want it. Wouldn't you all? :)

In the Mood for Hood

Almost sinister and a bit unsettling, yet so powerfully mysterious and even somewhat glamorous (imagine Grace Kelly in one), the hood is. Cloak-ed, it looks wilder and fantastical. Anyhoo, here’s to share bits of “hooded” editorials from Philippines’ Imagine, Brit Vogue and I-D magazines.

I almost forgot to mention that it’s an option for bad hair days and that it’s a good headgear for the cold weather and quite the best alterna for hats. Sometimes, too, it’s just nice to half-hide your face just ‘cos. (Must fashion be this practical? What would your boss at work think if you face him with an explanation for yesterday’s undelivered task in the partial concealment of a hoodie? Would your colleagues think you want to join them for lunch? Or would they think that you want to skip lunch and stay at your desk to check your Facebook status? Hmmm...)

BONUS DETAIL: The "Prehistoric" History of the Hoodie. LOL.

BONUS PIC: Carine Roitfeld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jackets are the New Shawl ;p

There are days when I can control the urge to not make this blog an all-about-Carine blog. But she's so hot, sometimes I just can't help but give in.





Tell me, how come she makes wearing her jackets like they're shawls seem so right? Like somehow, it's really how jackets are supposed to be worn. Yes, with the sleeves dangling limp like that and all. ;)


BONUS PIC (nope, not an ad for stockings/hosiery): Carine Roitfeld's Perfectly-Toned, Perfectly-Shaped and Perfectly-Proportioned Gams




Other Additional Value: Her Gorgeous Smile with that Gorgeous Hair and so-Mod Brows. (Do I sound like a Biology class dork who's dissecting the parts of what should have just been called a really really really gorgeous and feisty Parisian with really really really superior style and taste and who also happens to be the editor-in-chief of the best fashion mag in the world who is also the mum of 2 really really lovely 20-something kids. And she's got a hubbie whom she's never had to divorce -- wow.

Alright, saying too much like usual. I just wanted to point out that I'm all for the bitches of this world. It makes me happy when women are so adept at being strong and beautiful. Who's afraid to be 50+ if 50 can look as great as her? Thank you, Carine.)




P.S. - I read that she does Pilates everyday to keep in shape. She actually starts her day with a session before she hits work in the morning. Her beauty secret? She said it's frequent facial massages.
