Roy Halston, a famous designer during the 1960's and 1970's saw the demise of his 'Halston' brand subsequent to his death in 1990. Renowned for his timeless and elegant take on his RTW pieces, most woman would love to own one of his masterpiece. Fast forward 2008, the brand was relaunched and with London based designer Marios Schwab now leading the brand's designs. To break into the mid-tier market, a hip diffusion line was launched in 2009, with the sole purpose of reinventing the archive pieces of the Halson design, making it current and relevant for the 21st century.

Today, with clever marketing and Carrie Bradshaw bracing the big screen with pieces after pieces of Halston's fusion line, 'Halston Heritage', we saw a resurgence of it's popularity, and the ever increasing desire on every woman's list to own one of his dresses again. A visit and call to net-a-porter.com will evidence this popularity, with all key pieces worn by SJP in the movie, all sold out and with a long waiting list! 

At shopaholicdiaries today, we love to share with you our favourite pieces from this season. And the best part? Well ladies, given the summer sale in London now, most of the items featured below will be on sale. However, when T paid a visit to Selfridges on the 2nd day of the official sale, the single rack of Halston has been completely wiped clean! So hurry and get one for yourself, before it'a all gone!

All items above are between the retail price of £200 to £400. With sales up to 50% in certain stores, it's amazing deal!

For the sake of comparison, we have also included the original Halston line we love!

T loves summer and her summer flocks. This season, she is in love with graphic floral prints, and who best to get her flocks from, other than Erdem Moralioglu, whose graphic print dresses has been taking the runway by storm?

Graphic floral prints used to be so...motherish...if such a word exist, however, under the hands of Erdem, it has almost been transferred into an art form. As an article said, ' From his small shoreditch studio, Erdem's brought back artisanship to British fashion, with an emphasis on beautifully cut romantic dresses in hand-stitched fabrics.'

Ladies, imagine yourself in a dress like this with a nice Chanel classic in lambskin, and a black sleek Louboutin.....ahhhh......blisss

Kids, usually are the bundle of joys, but bringing them out, especially for some of us who does not drive, and having to rely on the public transport, for anyone who had experience it, pushing a stroller around, constantly having to soothe an active kid (who doesn't like to be in a stroller) and ensuring that you have brought all the baby essential's for a good trip out (which typically  entail having to lug a huge and bulky bag around) isn't easy for mums who still wants to look chic and glamourous for their trips out!

Enter the baby changing bags! These bags are especially useful to carry all of the baby's essentials, such as nappies, wipes, thermal flasks, changing mats, as well as ensuring mothers look chic and still fashionable!

The most frustrating thing about living in the south east asia is the heat and humidity. I mean, who would bloody want to dress up proper and do up proper make-up, when the minute you step into the sun, your make-up will start melting and you start perspiring even in shorts and T-shirts? The worst part is for ladies working in offices, where professional wear is an absolute must, I mean, it already 34 degrees celsius and you still have to put up in a suit, so that you look professional and chic? Huh? where is the practicality of this rule? At times, I really wish there is this uber cool invention, where clothes are made of this amazing fabric, and the best part of this fabric is that once it comes in contact with the human skin, it will emit a ice cool effect, so that you can get personalified 'air conditioning' wherever you go.....that would be nice!

Oh well....back to reality, whilst it may be a long way till such fabric is invented, we thought it will be a good, to throw in some ideas for your daily workwear, so that even without being in a suit, you will still look, chic, cool and professional!



 

Well, let us know what you think of our selections!

Been wanting to do this post for quite some time. However since I'm not a big fan of Victoria Beckham, that's kinda delayed my writing process. But you can't deny it, this woman's style is really impeaccable. From her dressing to the bags that she owe, she's  never an inch off looking amazingly! As quoted from her  "It's exhausting being fabulous". Well seriously, how exhausting can it get, if we wake up looking like her and has the MOOLAH that she has

Victoria is definitely a  true blue bag lady as she owe a gorgeous collectHermes bags in a kaleidoscope of colour. And its no secret that she owes more then 10 herms bags, from Birkin to Kelly, you name it, she got it. She always seem to have a matching smashing outfit to go along with her hermes.Wheras poor L has been coveting a Hermes birkin for so so so long and is saving very very hard to owe her first birkin. And as we all know, their expensive price tag is all down to its exclusivity - the waiting list for a birkin can be as long as 2 years and don't even mention about their special edition, it could be as long as 6 years.

L secretly believe that the object of her envy has bascially got them in every colour. Well thats the life of the filthy rich and famous and let's get to enjoy their superlicious lifestyles.... in pictures. ;)

Would'nt we all love to have one of her hermes resting comfortably on our arm as well...... I would. ;-)

They will never be out of fasion and will never go out of fashion. With heels height towering at 120 mm or even higher, they give you that "To die for sihoulette" It is almost every ladies' dream to own a pair of Christian Louboutin. ( wellprobably not very ladies, but at least for L, ;p)  Its no secret why so many ladies lust over them since every pair seem to effortlessly glammed up any outfit that you are in.
 
His signature red lacquered sole resonance with his long time goal that is to "make a woman look sexy, beautiful, to make her legs look as long as [he] can"

When L walked past the Singapore Boutique in Orchard, a  "beautifully arched' pair of the legendary heels in the display set. caught her eyes and sent a heart skipping a beat faster! If only the store was still opened, and have impulsivity  gotten the better of her, she would have rushed in and make the pair hers! Tempting.... just so tempting.

Well enough said, we have selected some of his new collection and present a picture galore for you as follow:

From his extremely high collection, for those adventurous souls, bright solid and bold colours

And for L personal favourite ............

Moving away from the monotone colour theme, feast your eyes on a cheeky splash of colourful design

For those who prefer the normal heels, we have selected our favourite from this category, it is quirky and innovatie and definitely eye catching!!

Caught your attention didnt it? ;p

We thought doing a post on our favourite Coach bags would be timely given we have just announced our latest promotion on Coach Spree straight from the boutiques in New York!

Coach recently teamed up with 4 bloggers to come up with exclusive limited edition bags, all four of them, so distinctly different from the usual Coach range, yet still so desirable. We have included our favourite 2 out of the 4 bags below. In addition, a few firm classics that we will never get tired of, enjoy!!!

All drool worthy if you ask me, in fact T is so itching to get the kelly's drawstring pouch for herself! haha

Hurry, all Coach Spree requests will close 30 JUNE 2010

Another favourite brand of ours, we love Prada's creativeness and their ability to produce lust worthy items season after season. This time round, selling like hotcakes from their Spring Summer collection is the scarf print ballet flats. Never one to walk on high heels, T was hunting around for a new pair of ballet pumps, to go with her playsuit for summer. When we got to the Prada Bond Street store, this immediately caught her eye but the pink piece she loved was sold out in her feet size! Yes, sometimes it pays to have uncommon feet sizes especially during sales period and when you are going for a popular item! (LOL, sorry T!)

Anyway, here are some photos, courtesy from raffaello-network.com.

Also, I wanted to show these BYO bags as well. Reasonably price, I was thinking of actually getting one of these for my younger sister... what do you guys think?

Or maybe....I should get one for myself too... for the rainy days and the trips to carrefour and cold storage? :-P
