Relax, take it easy

Thursday, July 28, 2011

Went to Fullerton area this afternoon. Anyway, I got this Leopard print skirt from the Zara sale weeks ago, I've been searching for this since I saw it on The blonde salad.

Paired it with Gucci babouska pumps. Believe it or not, the heels hurts! About the CDC, though it looks like Black leather, it's a dark grey suede instead :)

It seems like everyone is wearing arty rings these days! It was so hard to find one back then, I even bought it online.

I got nothing to say, really.

Spotted at the Haute Couture week, Miroslava Duma wearing a Marni necklace. It was featured in Harper's Bazaar Singapore May edition(if I'm not mistaken). It caught my eyes, so I went to the closest Marni store to see the real thing. It was lovely, but a bit too pricey. I forgot the exact retail price, but I'm pretty sure that they sell it above S$1000.

Take a closer look. Embellished gold toned chain necklace with green textile covered beads. Jewelled green pendants. Black satin self-tie sash detail. Beautiful.

Givenchy Fall 2011 Couture

Friday, July 22, 2011

This sublime collection of haute couture pieces for Givenchy is all about Purity, so this time Tisci kept the palette in the palest beige, ivory, and white. He said " White has become very strong—when women want to be sexy and romantic at the same time, white is there.” Speaking of Couture, I love their 2010 Couture too! From all collection that he has done, I can tell that he like neutral tones such as gold, beige, white and black. Of course, sheer, embroidered, feathers, tulle, you name it. See it here.

Look at the beautiful details. Hand-curled feathers, plumes so densely embroidered so that they looked like fur, and crystal drops over the fragile tulle dress. As we can see, Tisci held nothing back when it came to the handwork.

Riccardo Tisci, I love you.

See the rest of the collection here.

Slowly getting closure

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

I found this piece of 'halloween witch' dress in my mother's closet (but I don't think it's hers). The dress was a little bit loose to me, so I put on a skinny belt instead.

I got a story about how I get these pair of Jeffrey Campbell Lita. It was the golden moment of Lita, and I can't find it everywhere because EVERY online shops ran out of my size. I keep searching and searching, but still, nothing. So I ran out of hope to get these pair. Then right on the day before I flew off to Melbourne, me and my friends grabbed some dinner at one of the famous restaurants in Sydney, Hurricane that located at Bondi beach. As we were waiting for the food, I went to the store next door with a friend because she needs to buy some thick scarf. When I enter the store, I could see a beautiful pair of Taupe suede Lita right in front of me. I asked them whether they have it in my size or not, and yes they have! I tried it on, and perfect. It was a store called Tuchuzy. They sell range of Jeffrey Campbell shoes, Alexander Wang sunnies, etc! You gotta love the store, seriously. Go check their blog.

I had to alter the dress cus it's too big for me. I also asked the tailor to make the inner skirt short(it was a full length dress). Nice isn't it? :)

And here's a quote,

"I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens for a reason. The hard times that you go through build characters, making you a much stronger person."

Well, I couldn't agree more! After all that I've been through, I could say that I really, really felt so good to let go of it. I move on, and I let go, but I never, ever forget.

C'est la vie

Look at the bracelets.

What do you guys think about these Prada shoes?

Armour. Gotta thanked Phoebe Philo of Celine for this! Speaking of Celine, I went to their store yesterday and something caught my eyes! A bag. A bit like phantom, a bit like box bag, a bit like Hermes kelly. Well I don't know the name, but it surely adorable.

Sequined

Sunday, July 10, 2011

I have this sequined bow headband that I owned a long time ago. Well, since I don't wear any kind of headband anymore, I took the bow off the band and stick it to a rubber band instead. hehee
