Streetkutu : It's a Blue Summer

Yes- we are still talking about the colour blue. In fact, at Hautekutu today, we're wearing blue dresses.

Two weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to catch a cute Indie flick, "500 Days of Summer", starring Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. Such a fresh movie and besides the brilliant execution of the story- I must say I loved the styling for Summer (played by Zooey Deschanel). Always dressed in different shades of blue, Summer's style was a clever mixture of anything vintage and kitschy. A splash of blue and a sprinkle of neutral tones like black,beige or grey-- and she was ready to break hearts.
Spotted in Singapore, sporting a 'Summer' ensemble was 26 years old, chemical engineer, Mariam. Mariam, who admitted to copying Summer's style after watching "500 Days of Summer" said it isn't difficult to pull off the 'Summer' look. Just think blue! Mariam opted for a white blouse with printed blue heart shapes from FCUK and dark blue wide legged pants from Cue. To complete the look, Mariam added a brown leather bag from Charles & Keith....and these were items that she had already owned!

Rummage through your closet and you are sure to find something blue. If you insist on getting something new, here are some pieces Hautekutu have picked for your 'Summer' look. All of the items shown are available at Forever 21.

Ghost of Gaga

With Halloween just around the corner, many of us stress about what to wear to the many Halloween parties we have been invited to. This year, lets pay homage to a lady who dresses like it's Halloween everyday. Yes- we're talking about Lady Gaga.

At the recent Video Music Awards, Gaga rocked 6 ( yes, 6!!) different outfits throughout the whole night. Some may think the lady's lost it but at Hautekutu, we love it. Individualistic, insane and ingenious. Taking inspiration from the many outfits at the VMAs, here is a Gaga inspired ensemble which you could try this Halloween. Slap on some dramatic make- up, hit the party and just dance!
