Tashkent by Cheyenne for Spring

2010-04-14T06:24:00.000-07:00

Spring is here!!! Guess what and love is also in the air. I have a boyfriend!! I call him Sir Crank because he is quite a sweet cranky and sensitive person, but he means the world to me :D.

Today I would like to mention about a brand rather young and sassy worth the shout. Debuted in 2005, Tashkent by Cheyenne has been year after year, carries a very specific feel to it. Rather raw, fresh, almost feel like you take a long piece of leather ribbon, zig zag it, knot it, until it became a piece of footwear. It is always beautifully made, and I think one of the pieces could be perfect for spring :)

Here is some of the Spring 2010 Collection ^^

My Little Number by Cynthia Vincent

2010-03-22T12:38:00.000-07:00

Last Friday, I went to a party somewhere in Mayfair. How brave, I went solo knowing only the hosts. I needed to let off some steam and let loose a bit. So I decided to wear my little number, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent classic slip dress in CREAM! I do not remember the reason why I picked the sheer almost like a nightie dress instead of a black one. But this piece is Cynthia Vincent's trademark, just like DVF's wrap dress, BCBG Maxazria's cardi wrap, and Herve Leger spandex dress.

Then I accidentally came across an article this afternoon titled,"Applying To Be Your Trophy Wife". The summary says:

"City girls know how to analyze a company’s balance sheet. City girls know how to draft watertight warranties. But when it comes to matters of the heart, they just can’t seem to seal the deal."

This reminded me of the night at the party. I met someone who work in investment, after a long conversation, I found out that he is virtually very successful and single with Mercedes Sport and a big house in St. John's Wood. A very decent man and a gentleman with Spanish accent. So then, the conversation gets deeper and more about finding out how I view life and whether I am classy enough too walk by his side. He finally pop the number question and the invitation for a fine dinner. Alas...I thought hard about it (sooo relating to the girl writing the article). I am not a golddigger and I am lucky that I have not so far made my life decisions based on merit alone. AND, the post last week was about someone who I value a lot right now. With that in mind, I -as the writer did - called it a night. But hey! At least I know that my little number works!!

You know that we all listen to sweet music like this when we're.... wellllll =D

I recently met someone. Feel loads in common, he is very kind, not too self absorbed like many, does many things that I like to do, loves cartoon, and does not mind me wearing shocking colours. And of course many many other things ^^. And we both say many many sorrys :)

Hmmmmm...I bought this dress by Moschino Cheap & Chic in red....

...and this dress by Gorgeous Couture in blush - last November. Can't wait to wear them again!

The Latest in Classic

2010-03-08T16:37:00.000-08:00

It has been awhile and it has been very intrigueing for me lately. Tried to deviate from my comfort zone of pink and black....

I just recently visited London Fashion Weekend where big designers sold their items in a fraction of the retail price and local designers used the opportunity to showcase their specialties to London's most savvy fashionistas. I fell in love on the first glance with Roberto Cavalli's belt and chose that as my item of the moment. From then on, I started looking further into the brand. Well....purchased myself a red dress yayyy....of course still within Dewi style. Up to now, I still wonder whether I made the right choice and whether the dress really fits me...........(tried it last night and this morning too).

Ugh....confession of a shopaholic..... I am so in love with this dress, yet still don't know how to associate it with who I am...help!!!

You know I adore Marchesa right?

Yes I also still want to get married in Marchesa.

Here goes the latest in classic......

Marchesa

Such beautiful to the point of theatrical. Even if I were to purchase a piece.... I have not yet the chance to mingle in a society classy enough to wear one.

Valentino

Oh yes, I just recently purchased a vintage green Valentino dress as well. It is the epitome of elegance. I could not take my eyes of any Miss Valentino.

Blumarine

I love Blumarine that it is very Italian very chic...and very-very-snobby :)

A picture (sort)of me^^

2009-03-23T04:02:00.000-07:00

Coming to another personal "ME" post, a really good friend of mine once sent me me this picture with a smiley on the title...

I thought it was just another fashion picture he'd like to show me. So I gave my opinion saying it was a nice look.
Then he replied,"DID YOU NOT SEE WOT I SEE?".
"WOT?? NO".
"The 3 words…the shoes, the top, the girl with long hair?. DEWI!LOL, the…girl…is…Dewi!!!".

It still made me smile big up to now :)....

If I get married one day.....

2009-03-19T12:50:00.000-07:00

.......I would like no less than Marchesa for my wedding dress. I also learned today that Keren Craig, one of the co-founders of Marchesa, is a University of Brighton graduate. Well done Brighton!

Shape your body ala Wolford

2008-09-09T01:48:00.000-07:00

Lovely morning, some shine coming through the clouds. I promised myself I'd quit shopping for the good of mankind (or..me-kind, more like my wardrobe space). But I stumbled upon a brand that I was not familiar with before. It is named, Wolford, an international body and stocking company based in Bregenz, Austria. Wondering whether i am worthy to claim that i'm dedicated to the world of fashion, I went in and found the beautiful world of tights, hold-ups, and body suit. It's amazing! The products gave out the femme-fatale feeling. And it goes for those of you who want the clean-cut and powerful look.

The tights varies from sheer to opague, simple patterns to beautiful flower patterns.

So, Dewi, still striving hard to create that "perfect Dewi's wardrobe", decided to purchase one of Wolford's.

Spring 2008 Ready-to-Wear

2008-05-01T11:58:00.000-07:00

I can not believe how much fashion rules in 2008. This season, hmmm...I'm sure you start seeing flower prints and ruffles roaming on some main street in London eventhough...brrrr....as warm as it gets...I can still feel the chill of the wind blowing through my bones. Not only flower-prints though, the key of this season is BOLD. All you colors come out to surface. And when I mean bold, does not always mean that you have to wear all the bright colors, Hey! even nude can be bold ;).
This is my pick of dress from runway this week. Spring 2008 Ready-to-wear dress by Roberto Cavalli. By the way, bein edgy is a bit hard for day-to-day, but I reckon I might just be able to pull this look if I can loose just half of my shamefulness... Because this look by Chanel is just IT!
Aight, aight....None of you are willing to pull either of the above, LOL! Last but not least, the third pick is these pieces by Meghan Fabulous is good for either a chill afternoon or even a fabulous night.

Geeky Fashionistas

2008-03-16T07:00:00.000-07:00

Sunny day finally!... After constant of showers this past couple of days. Hey, you can't let these things bother you! I thank God for the blessing of technology which keeps me company at home. My laptop is especially my best friend. Who says laptop is created only for geeks and workaholics? Is for all of us now^^. For those who likes to stick in todays' loop and still look fabulous always, here a top ***** list of gadget that will surey enhance your appearance ;)

SONY VAIO CR Series

You can never go wrong with Sony. I personally would love a red laptop. It's lightweight, perfect for us on-the-go. Comes with matching slipcover, mouse, and mousepad. It comes with the latest Windows Vista Home Premium, Intel® Core™2 Duo, 14.1 inch X-Black screen, built in 'Motion Eye' digital camera. What more do you need?!

Who would think that the ultimate function-to-be - build to order - Dell finally decide to make an ultimate fashion statement with its new release of DELL XPS (PRODUCT) RED line, the result of partnering together with Windows and (PRODUCT) RED. Part of the proceeds from the Dell and Windows (PRODUCT) RED Signature will go to the global funds to help fight AIDS in Africa. How IN is that?!

The XPS line themselves is now released in France, UK, and Germany, the XPS (PRODUCT) RED will probably follow soon after. Equipped with Intel® Core™2 Duo, Windows Vista, wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, integrated webcam, and of course..,being Dell and again, build-to-order, you can build the rest of your own specifications.

ASUS-LAMBORGHINI VX3

This one is an exceptional one ^^. I actually want to own one of this once I can afford it.
12 inches display, Intel® Core™2 Duo processor, built-in wireless and bluetooth, 4 GB RAM, SATA 320G; 5400rpm hard disk drive, built-in wide Touchpad.

and last but not least....

Tulip EGO
..notebook designed for fashionistas

It is not the most high-tech notebook, but it caters the all our girlie needs.

The 2008 EGOs are designed in collaboration with Danie Bles Mix Match fashion show and of course...this spring latest prints and colors.
