GIRLS RULE

Diane von Furstenburg is the Queen of Print and Roxy is the Queen of Surf. And when the two Queens combined (channeling Captain Planet), you know what you're gonna get - the Queen of Beach Prints! And more commonly known as the DVF Loves ROXY collection. 

Although I have yet to fulfill my dream of being a surfer gal (I've been planning for a surf-vacay in Australia for years, only succumbed to procrastination. #shootmyself), DVF Loves ROXY's bikinis (S$79 for a top and S$69 for a bottom), beach shorts, bags and cover-ups are enough to make me inspired all over again. 

DVF's choice of colours and, geometrical and natural shapes used to create the prints hit all the right notes of Roxy's sporty and energetic girl. My personal favourites are the black and white Roxy Maze print (shorts below). Love the playful take on depicting the waves, beach, and the sea filled with Roxy's signature hearts. And of course, the multi-coloured graphic Hopscotch Multi print here with just the perfect amount of shapes and pastel colours. 

Also on going is the Roxy 'DARE YOURSELF' contest, a global search for the quintessential Roxy girl! No matter where you're from, if you're a girl who's adventurous and is reading this, be sure to sign yourself up. Registration ends tomorrow, 28 March so hurry!

GREAT EYE DEER

How often do you see collections inspired by something so close to us that we seldom notice its beauty? (Eye) mean floral, nature, aquatic life, fruits and vegetables are so overused in fashion these days, it's hard for designers to keep surprising us with great design (eye)deas, don't you think? But eyeballs? That is just dope! Also, dope = Dr. Martens' second capsule collab with model Agyness Deyn. 

My favourite has got to be the Eyeball Bag above. It's amazing how four circles of different sizes and colours can be used to create the most coveted bag in the collection. Trust me. All the bloggers and editors at the media preview were diggin' it!

Eyeballs are clever alternatives to the common polka dot print. Somehow (eye) feel that eyeballs add a new dimension to the usual 2D pattern even though it's actually two dimensional. It plays with the fact that eyeballs are indeed 3D in real life. The funny thing about it is since the eyeballs aren't covered with eyelids, (eye) can't help but feel slightly wozzy having so many eyes staring straight at me.



Inserting eyeballs everywhere may seem a little trying-too-hard but in this collection, (eye) like the subtle details where eyeballs are used especially the zip details (part of the Denim Biker Jacket). You'll find yourself buttoning up eyeballs too!



Eyeballs as boobies? (Eye)'m sure it will look great and enhance your lovelies only if yours fall nicely in place with the eyeballs. Otherwise, it will look a bit off. Would I wear it? YES! (if they fit nicely, of course)

The collection isn't all about eyeballs, really (even though (eye) wish they have eyeball-printed boots). Be sure to check out the entire collection which includes heart-shaped leather bag, bow sandals, knitted jumpers and more here. Prices included!
