this week, halloween kicks into high gear. you will hear more talk about events, costumes and parties but that's in the past here on The Online Edition. if you came to this blog looking for material about halloween, please click here!
moving forward this week, we are going back in time! (i love the irony...) i am serious. after a week of just celebration and festive cheer, i think it's time to get back into the mode of fashion and to get us all in tune again, we should get in touch with our fashion roots and heritage.
all week long, we will visit different time periods, different eras, different events and look at how fashion was like back then. you can say that we are going retro or vintage, call it what you want but get your bell bottoms ready as we zip back in time.
like always, well-toned bodies (this time from korea) and they have nothing to do with a word that i wrote about!
time for the online editor to look into the crystal ball of time and see what's trendy versus what is not? so this week, we dealt with fundamentals. in this week's @dd it, i have selected a basic white top as my choice. yes, it's not anything unfamiliar to the most of us but that is what this week is all about. going back to the core of fashion and understanding the foundations before we take on the more complex aspects of fashion.
now, what is fun about this week's @dd it is, there are no restrictions to the type of white top to trend. the important part is for you to get a basic white top, wear it in a variety of ways. we will always have a special place in our hearts for our basic blacks and the little black dress, but like i always say... there are only that many ways to wear black before one gets know as the guy / gal that's forever black.
to help all of you along, here's how different people wear their whites.
okay people, the online edition is operated by me and me alone. i would love to be with you all the time and provide you with all the fashion updates but i can't. i have bills to pay (which explains work), my dad to care off (hence i can't be in front of the computer all the time) and hopefully a social life to boast of. with all that in mind, i have enlisted some help. so once you have read the posts at 8am, 1.30pm or 10.30pm, you can meddle with these five applications (that i use on my iphone) till the next post goes live.
1) style.com
this was recommended to me by a friend when he heard that i was into fashion blogging. the updates on this app are fast and furious. at times, one has the sense that he is constantly lagging behind due to the massive resources, articles and shows available.
2) pocket fashion consultant
this is a nice little app that dishes out tips to target problematic body areas. on a awful day and i have no sense of fashion direction, i look to this app for a little advice. there is a paid version too but i'm too much of a scrooge to pay for it.
3) k-star fashion
being introduced to the world of korean drama by my dad, i began a new interest (not love yet though i do want to visit korea, like mentioned) for all things k. the application features styles that you can put together and it's not of big stars but common folk. putting it in blatant terms, no need to go korea and also can dress like korean.
4) fashion tips
like the name suggests, this application dishes out fashion tips. it does not rely on fanciful images, just good old-fashion description (much like The Online Edition). it's simple and comprehensive.
5) ???
this is where i leave the last one to you. the final application to have on your phone should be of your favourite brand or label. personally i have more than one but that's me. i like options. at last count, i have about four... =) but here's a clue to which one made it to my phone.
as we wrap up the week of basics, have fun downloading more apps for the weekend.
fash'on... BAM! ps: it's our first month anniversary here at The Online Edition. big thank you to sherlyn for her guest review. read her thoughts here!
so for the last three days, i have touched base with what's asian and singaporean... somehow i felt that something was missing from my coverage of all things asian... so looking back, i did actually miss out something, or rather somewhere, very important... KOREA!!! even japan was briefly mentioned here...
so let's dive into korea and the world of korean fashion... the world of fashion was first captivated by the hanbok...
then there was korean couture and korean fashion week...
and finally... just to jump on the bandwagon (yes, get ready to dance!) it's gungnam time!
