New Minimalism

congrats!!!

So, the last challenge, I got really poor response. I think I sent out more than 100 invites to some random Looklet users but they might have thought that I'm just spamming their looks and walls. Anyways, I'm not disappointed at all (okay, maybe just a little) because the looks you've submitted are awesome. So The winner of the challenge is....

Zaf of Zaf&Ida! The first thing I noticed when I saw this look was the shoes. You kinda have to have some skills to do that (haha). I love how the dress is layered under the body. However, on my opinion, the accessories are a bit distracting. I don't think the necklace is necessary because the bodice of the body is fancy enough and the bangles and the earrings should match the shoes. But still, it's a pretty look. Okay, enough babbling and let's get to the runners-up. This challenge's runners-up are:

(from top left) Looklet users Julietta, jenbojenbojeno, Ivana-Stephani and glitteryredshoes. I like Julietta's lingerie-inspired look because it looks very dark and mysterious and jenbojenbojeno's look reminded me of   a look from Proenza Schouler Fall 2010 collection. Ivana-Stephani's look is very Jeremy Scott-inspired and has that dressed up/sporty vibe and I like how glitteryredshoes mix textures and prints and silhouettes; a very architectual jacket paired with a flowy pleated jumpsuit. That's all for now and I want to congratulate all of you and thank you for submitting your looks. A new contest will be up soon.

Hello again people! So we're in the middle of summer and the best way to celebrate summer is by wearing yellow. Mustard, canary, bananas(haha), call it whatever you want. Yellow is bright, summery, happy, chic and fun. Some may say that not everyone can pull off a yellow outfit but not me. I believe that everyone can wear yellow because it's an instant head turner and boost your confidence. OK, enough babbling, let's get back to business. So this week challenge is: CREATE AN ALL YELLOW LOOK. Take style cues from Lacoste's and Emilio Pucci's Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Mix 'n' match textures, play with colour tones and silhouettes to get a more fun look. So click CREATE NEW LOOK pronto! But first, please read the TERMS & CONDITIONS before submitting your look. Thank you for stopping by and good luck!

Terms & Conditions:

1. Each user can submit only ONE look.
2. To enter, please paste the URL to your look in the comment section.

First of all, I'm apologizing for the lateness of the result because I had encountered with a terrible accident *aha, I fell off my scooter*, so I have no mood to go online ('cause I'm in great pain). But that was a couple of days ago and I have my mood back now so new contest is coming soon. That's it for now and wish me well *I have to drag myself to school tomorrow, sigh*.

Marching Orders

elle.com/net-a-porter.com/topshop.com

Hello again people! Okay, got a new contest right here. This week's theme is Marching Orders. Well, as we have seen in the past few seasons, the inspired-by-military trend is huge and this Spring/ Summer it's back and better than ever. This trend has not been in trend for quite a period but then Balmain brought it back to life through the fashion house's S/S '09 collection and everyone started to jump on the bandwagon ever since. Enough of the history lesson, your task is:

CREATE A MILITARY-INSPIRED LOOK

And in case you don't have enough (or any for that matter) inspiration, scroll down and take a look at the previous post.

HOW TO ENTER:

• copy the link to your look and paste it in the comment box ( sorry I didn't tell you how to enter before, thanks for asking)

Good luck!

CONGRATS!!!

Yabedabeedooo!! This week's best look has been my favourite, yet (no offence guys). Drumroll please! And the winner of this week's contest is Looklet user Melinda. Congratulations!

And now, here are the runners-up. Congratulations to Looklet users anty padmoprawiryo, missn, glitteryredshoes and VNNOpVWIJd for being in the top 5!

Thank you for sending in your entries and wasting your time for this contest*aha*. That's it for now. Next up: we're going to bootcamp.

elle.com/net-a-porter.com/topshop.com/toms.com

Hello again people! Got a brand new contest this week as promised. This weeks's theme is Hang-Ten!. This spring/summer, it's all about surf, sand and a lot of tan, this is my favourite trend of s/s '10 because it's kinda my style (you know, flip flops, wayfarers, board shorts and stuff). Designers look to the surf for inspiration with plenty of body-con scuba dresses, swimsuits with criss-crossing body straps and revealing cut-aways (seen at Proenza Schouler(my favourite!!), Emilio Pucci, Julien McDonald, Gucci, Topshop Unique and Diane Von Furstenberg). So what you have to do is create a surf/beach-inspired look.

HINTS:

1. Go for acid brights, day-glo prints, and scuba dresses
2. Rainbow-bright bangles, neoprene sandals and ergonomic cutouts
3. Think Malibu, Cameron Diaz and Fool's Gold

NOTES:

1. You can only submit ONE look.
2. Deadline: APRIL 8TH 2010
3. Winner will be announced in two days time.

So good luck everyone!
