Now, if only all boys could do this, and dump those awful khaki shorts/plaid shirts/trucker hats!!

I have a soft spot for casual-but-well-dressed-and-not-overthought boys ;) you know what i mean.

the gyllenhaal parents must be proud of their 2 kids, both brimming with charm and talent. the world is unfair people, deal with it.

i love jake gyllenhaal (for obvious reasons) but i love his sister, maggie, just as much. she may not be conventionally pretty by hollywood standards, but this girl definitely does not let cliches of the hollywood industry get in her way. i love how she always appears effortlessly fresh, not overly made up or too over the top. her style is minimalist chic, and she looks so elegant all the time. not to mention, those gorgeous jade green eyes of hers. oh...sigh.

i totally loved, LOVED her in this chanel couture that she wore to one of the many award ceremonies she attended. i love the hair-do, very very audrey hepburn and the lace details of the gown, bringing out this really subtly sexy side of hers. not everyone can pull off a turtle neck, this girl definitely can!

on top of everything else, you've gotta love her vintage sense of style and her ever-changing hair-dos. her unpredictability when it comes to fashion, definitely makes this girl one of the many style icons to look out for, to emulate and to become someday.

Do it Mexican style!

So, this is my boyfriend's cousin, Rodrigo. He's got great style -- even the frat boys think he's 'pimp' ;)

Apparently he picked up his top from Hot Topic. I can't believe they actually sell clothes without skulls/bones/vampires/stupid catchphrases on them!! Kudos to him for finding one that actually looks really indie and avant-garde. In fact when I first saw it, I thought he had made it himself/bought it at some random garage sale. You know, something very obscure. A shirt with a story behind it, not one duplicated in China.

...But the good thing about having shirts from franchise stores is everyone gets to buy one and look cool!

Oh yeah, and I like the little headband too. I've seen a LOT of guys try to pull that off, and most fail miserably but, lucky for him, not here. :)

To add to all the coolness, he's also part of a really talented band called O Scarlet, definitely drop by their Myspace and check them out.

Since it is near impossible for me to write an objective style-nalysis, I must await Jo's further input. :)

jo: okay im finally getting down to evaluating!! mary dont hate me. haha.

anyway what can i say? gotta love indie guys. not the emo ones u get in singapore, with their badly drawn eyeliner, and having a mop for a hairdo (clean cut guys, we want clean!). seriously, having hair that flops over your head like a dead fish, is very unattractive and makes you look like you havent washed your hair for days. gross.

and, i cant help it, but i do think that rol's cousin's cute.:) haha.

but moving along... id have to say the get up is really simple, and clean. just the way i like it. sometime's simplicity's the way to go, it isnt over the top or screams 'look at me'. just a 'hey, look ure cool, im cool, we're all cool.' chill, relax and walk down easy street man. life's too rushed and we've all gotta take it easy. the headband definitely adds some attitude and funk. but the point i'm trying to make here is, you definitely dont need alot to become a style icon. not at all.:)
although! he could have done with some nice beaded bracelets, just to add to that indie feel. nonetheless, good job!

A Summer Love

I am in love with this get up. It's taken from a weblog called Exquisitetaste and I have to say; this blogger and her friends truly have amazing taste. That yellow jacket is simply the most amazing thing I've ever seen: the bright citrus color, nipped in waist, peplum sleeves and even the high-necked collar. Paired with white shorts and gorgeous opaque leggings, you got yourself a whole outfit that's sexy and totally unique. The only thing I know right now is that I would love to own a get up like this (and also, the model's to-die-for legs!)

My friends are beautiful.

It's Elke in a dress! Miracles do happen! *Wild cheers and applause*

Ok, so she may not be a girly-girl often, but she's got this dress right. I love the light tan color and the buttons, and to save it from looking too Crocodile Dundee/Indiana Jones (remember those shows, guys?), the brown belt and maryjanes sweeten it up just a touch. Oh yes, nice touch with the bronze heart locket; simple and charming and none too distracting. Keep the dress as the most eyecatching piece and you don't need much to fancy it up.

..and jo is just eternally and forever cute. although she has to put on some more sunscreen. ;)

jo: i can be such a retard sometimes. god.

Love is in the Air

I don't think I've seen a cuter couple, or one that's more in-sync and in-love. I'm digging the guy's headband and aviators, the almost-but-not-quite-matching green and yellow toned tops, the blue jeans and white sneakers. Too cute!

p/s normally I hate couple-matching, so my compliments count for a lot right now. ;)

yum.

give me a white guy in an all-white suit, a sleek ponytail and oozing sex appeal any day baby. only one word: YUM. i was positively salivating in a totally unglam sort of way. sighs wistfully. i remembered mary jabbing me in my bones and pointing at him, i turned and i was like 'oh fuck, he is hot.' HE IS! and then we proceeded on to stalking him and trying to get a good shot of him. haha. as rachel from f.r.i.e.n.d.s said, "mmm man i could just spread him on a cracker." yummmm

Mary: we have got to start doing things the legal way and ask people for their permission. Really. Then again, illicit photos are so fun. Also, I think it's a rule that gorgeous people can wear anything and make it look good (how terribly unfair)...

You be Cute.

Oh darling, you got this right. I LOVE how the tee and sunnies are striped -- nice touch! The stack of bangles; a hallmark of any indie-punk girl (in my humble opinion); the chunky rings and the string of pearls/beads (a great alternative to the current long-pendant trend); the lip ring....ooh, yes, the spiky hair. I am all for it. You look like you're all ready to rock the world; a modern day Grace Kelly. With some gel.

Basically, accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. It makes or breaks an outfit.

jo: I WANT HER LIP PIERCING:(

boy, girl, boy, girl...

(it's not a very clear picture but whatever i think she's hot:))

one thing's for sure, we can never go wrong with suspenders. and i just love love the whole boyish get-up. everytime i try to wear suspenders my shorts ride up. how she does it, i dont know. ugh. and how cute is that hat?! man. even though it's just a simple outfit- denim shorts (booty!) and a vintage tee, but she plays it up really well with the suspenders, the hat, the bangle on her arm (that's a bangle right? hmmmm) although she could have used a long necklace maybe? i dont know. but ah well, all ive gotta say adrogyny's the way to go baby. :)

mary: nuts. i would love to be skinny enough to pull that off without looking skanky... i have too much goddamned junk in my trunk!

Rubber Duckie

Presenting one half of the fabulously fashionable Clonts sisters. I do believe that is a bandana hung stragetically around your chest babe. Good job. I think if I tried to the same, I would need a fucking towel...

Love the hair, the nails, the eyes, the trinkets, the shorts. I even love the cigarette. I'm all for trashy glam!

Skinny girls

Truth be told, I like the second picture more, just because it feels rather 'grungy'. That isn't to say the first picture's bad. She does it well in the first picture, the layering necklaces, a pretty printed tube dress with a waisted belt, and that extra something-something. see this is why i hate skinny girls. they can wear anything and still look amazing. NOT mary-kate olsen though, she looks like a druggie. eeks.

The second picture's a winner:) LOVE LOVE LOVE those vintage shades and the headband (Not everyone can pull it off, i look like shit when i try that) a simple blue blouse that hangs loosely over a pair of black shorts, NICE. though, like mary says, she could use with a necklace. but whatever, i am only looking at those god damn shades and headband, and she looks goooodd. (i sound creepy, god no)

mary says: starbucks is always in style. just make sure it's skinny. yum!

Voyeurism

Little red pumps. They do everything for an outfit. I'm also digging the white jacket; perfectly eye-catching for warm summer nights around town. I'm thinking she could use a ring. Nothing too costume-y; maybe a little gold band.

I like my accessories...and I think everyone should too; that's all.

Be Happy

Crotchet beanie, denim romper, suede boots and a leather bag. Yeah, I think I would be smiling too. She could probably use a gold necklace. Maybe. A fine chain with the tiniest charm on the end just to give it a little swing. What do you think?

A Beautiful Stranger

I don't know who this is and I don't remember how I found this picture, but I do know that I want to be her! That lean body, the fitted (not skintight!) jacket and denim; that charming, exotic scarf; the casually-slung bag. Anyone could wear this (and people do), but I've never been so drawn to this ensemble as it's shown here. It just goes to show that it's 10% clothes, 90% attitude.

Good job girl.

jo: The first thing I said to Mary when I saw this picture as her display photo was, "Hey, who's that? She's cool." I think that sums up everything for me.:)

Cool.
