online shop guide; singer22.com

editors note; a feature i want to add to the site is a weekly introduction to the world of online shopping. I know alot of you savvy shoppers are already whipping out the plastic and making purchases online. But do you know where to find all the best brands? the hottest items? all at the best prices? Or to get secret discounts with exclusive codes? .. & for those virgin online shoppers out there.. warnings imposed / once you start .. it's awfully hard to stop.

a treasure trove for all the goodies seen on tabloid loved celebrities. this place is the best source to visit for all of young hollywood's wardrobe pieces. With it's endless list of hot American labels it's got everything to satisfy the style conscious. Started out as a small boutique store in New York, they soon opened singer22.com which soon became a high traffic site for people looking for great fashion.

singer22 has just launched their new look website now with international shipping a feature which it lacked before. & for a limited time only save 10% on the entire site with code word SPOOKY10 ; valid from now till 3rd of November 3pm (Sydney time)

my favourite picks;

LnA. deep v-neck tee $60 US [available in an assortment of colours]
made from super duper soft cotton with the best fit, these are oh so comfy and perfect for everyday wear. With the ability to be dressed up, just refer to MK's red carpet look. seen on practically everyone that matters this is the basic must have! These shirts are always sold out everywhere but you can always trust singer22 to have these in stock.

kOva & t. oxy latex high waisted skirt $209 US 
i love mini skirts, but i find it hard as i get older to pull off the short look knowing that whatever skirt i pull on should be one made for 'grown ups' so when i sported this high waisted skirt by kova & t with a 4'' wide waist band I knew it was a winner. Made from the same latex  material as it's infamous Oxy leggings it fits and curves to you body perfectly, mimicking the look of leather but made from a breathable, animal friendly nylon & spandex

yves saint laurent; a master's lifetime.

I remember when I first learnt of Yves Saint Laurent, I knew him as Christian Dior's apprentice. He was a skinny guy with thick rimmed glasses who later on to create fashion history. This Summer we all got the sad news of his passing which lead the fashion world into a frenzy of tributes to this great master.

What better way to show the passion and true creativity of his work then to put it all together in an eye opening display? A lifetime of his work is now on display in an exhibition at the De Young Museum of San Fransisco, USA. Showcasing 40 years of his work including 120 fully accessorized outfits, original sketches and designs with video and photos of the designer. An iconic designer who made tuxedos & pea coats into all time classics.

♥The exhibit runs from 01.11.08 - 05.04.09 for more information check out the official exhibition website from De Young
