Novembre Lookbook

Shape Up! : Eating right, your first step to losing weight.

2010-01-27T23:25:00.000+08:00

Shape Up! is our new section on Health and Fitness. True enough that it is not really fashion-related but shaping up is one good way to look good in fashion.

So for starter, we will like to tell you to start with your diet.

Without doing any exercise, you can drop some of that kilos off by simply eating right. Yes, you can lose weight by just watching what you eat everyday. And by that, I do not mean for you to starve yourself. You need to choose your food carefully and eat at the right time. Before I let you in on what and when to eat, I am going to bust a common "diet myth" that most would think is true and misuse it.

Myth:
Calories in < out = weight loss

Fact :
Calories is important. But what's more important is the type of calories. Therefore, the type of food you take is very important.
Also if you take in much less calories than you actually require, ie you starve yourself, you will only end up getting fatter. By depriving your body from energy, it actually decreases your basal metabolic rate to reserve more energy. When you start eating again, you will end up storing more energy which in excess, leads to weight gain, something that you do not want.

2010-01-27T19:50:00.000+08:00

We are already a month into 2010. Have you figured out what are this season's must-haves? If you have not, you are in luck.

____________
What to look for:

- Don’t be left high and dry this spring! Sailor stripes are screaming for attention especially when fashioned out of glitter and sequins. Finish your maritime look with anchor and ship accessories to keep you aboard this nautical trend.

-Globe-trotting styles add worldly appeal without breaking the bank for a plane ticket. Fierce florals inspired by Latin America look sharp when paired with edgy pieces, such as a leather jacket. Rustic, Midwestern prints are appearing all over the runways, evoking classic down-to-earth style that's perfect for layering.

-Paint your way into spring with artistic prints featuring big placed brush strokes and subtle, hand-made texturing effects.

-Don’t let your leopard spots go into hibernation! Spring runways are showing the changing of spots with updated, techno color hues such as fuchsia, lime, and orange.

Such a dress is good to show off you nice toned body too.

Calvin Klein Spring 2010 Collection

2009-11-07T01:13:00.004+08:00

Francisco Costa did a great job this time. The whole collection was beautifully made using mostly neutral palette, with some exceptions of shift dresses in "pale aqua, citron, coral, and jade". The dresses flow elegantly and they fit perfectly on body. Clean and elegant is what we can say about the collection.

Lindsay Lohan for Emanuel Ungaro?

2009-11-06T22:50:00.004+08:00

We have all heard about it. For this Spring 2010 collection, Ungaro has a different team of designers on board: Estrella Archs and, as "artistic adviser", Lindsay Lohan.

The Designers : (left) Estrella Archs and (right) Lindsay Lohan

The pairing results were disastrous. Bad colour choices, wrong material chosen, poor construction, completely tasteless. And we completely do not understand the fur and heart-shaped sequins on the models' head. Their debut was a great disappointment.

But not all pieces were horrendous. Here's what we like:

Isabel Marant - "clothes that girls want to wear"

2009-09-03T00:22:00.004+08:00

Came across this relatively new label while looking at Fall 2009 looks. Love their looks and decided to share with Novembre readers.

A french label, Isabel Marant makes high fashion clothes so wearable. Instead of big over-the-top pieces, Isabel Marant's collection is streetwise yet fashionable.

The collection (Fall 2009) was more glam rock yet you do find a hint of hippie in the clothes. Is a no wonder why the collection would be a hit.

Some of the Collection:

About Novembre & Novembre Lookbook

2007-09-02T03:12:00.005+08:00

Novembre means November in French.

Novembre is created by 2 girlfriends who share the same birthday in the month of November. Having missed the times they worked together in school, they decided to venture into the blogshop industry together, hoping to bring a new meaning to fashion. They believe that fashion is unique to each individual and that everyone can look chic with apparels at affordable prices. Click here to visit Novembre webpage.

Novembre Lookbook is a fashion blog created by Novembre. At Novembre, we believe that fashion is not limited to the tall and slim. In our Lookbook, we will show you how to wear fashion, your own way.
