A little bit of Gingham on my Swimmies

Long story short, laptop was sent for servicing, fully re-formatted, now in the process of uploading things - mostly iPod matters, so troublesome tsk.

Recently I've been having quite silly little arguments with my parents, mostly over the issue of surviving versus living. No duh which I was strongly advocating.

Tsks the generation gap.

Anyway remotely relating and because of the unbelievably humid + hot weather nowadays, I really like these retro gingham swimsuits from ever-faithful UrbanOutfitters.



Plaid is getting a little tiresome, but I still like them on swimsuits :)

*LIVING!*

I am so bored of work! I mean I'm kept very busy and all, but it's very dreary! I don't know how people can stand working in one place for 10 years unless they're their own boss.

And the most awesomest dinner with my girls, it's been a while since ALL of us could make it :)

Yes alive! I've been indulging in new hobbies like watching funny Korean variety shows on my iPod and crystalling as well as old ones i.e. movies and shopping.

Anyway, I'm a few trends too late, but I want animal print stuff. Not like animal skin print, but like real animal prints. Something akin to this:

I really like this top, I shall hunt for a similar looking one when I go shopping.

By the way, have you gotten something for your mother for Mumsy's Day? Cause I haven't and I'm all out of gift ideas!

My next Threadless?

I was browsing favourite tshirt haunt Threadless and now I want this!

Wolf being all David Bowie-ish!

And I wish I was as any good in sewing as she is:

It looks even better as a skirt.

The Ugly Vintage Sweater

The song was: Mercy - Duffy.

The supposed other Amy Winehouse with Aretha Franklin influences. Despite that, I like how she does not come across gimmicky.

The mood was: APATHETIC.

My solution for days that I don't care about would be to open my lookbook folder and eeny-meenie-mynie-moe-d one look while praying it's some crappy black dress, and then attempt to re-create it the next day.

This time it landed on this.

Betsey Johnson FW '08

The reason why this was in my lookbook folder at all was because I've been looking for anything with gun motifs, and since I can't find any, I intend to keep any photos I come across that reminisce of it.

So let's see, what do I have that can constitute as an ugly vintage sweater?

The inclination was:

Purple vintage blouse, black tank top, striped pencil skirt, giant white hoops, green pumps (no duh which are obviously unseen).

Mom's sweater blouse with a missing button.

Whoops, head and butt cut off. My usual photographer refused to be interrupted from her dramas.

Break it down now, yeaaah yeaaah yeaaah.

Hello Kitty + Dior

So annoying, I have been scanning stuff since just now. Blasted primitive scanner technology of mine. And Blogger won't let me upload images somehow.

So I'll just feed you with this little bit of news.

Hello Kitty is going to model in Dior with John Galliano. Fashionologie expressed their horror, but I like my doses of Hello Kitty now and then. Besides it's only a fashion spread restricted in the confines of June 2008's Vogue Nippon.

I'm just thankful it's not an entire runways of Hello Kitty-s. Which, come to think of it, may just be Mr Galliano's next venture.

*shudders*

I pray not; John Galliano's couture shows are the only ones I routinely look forward to and I know I'll always be blown away.

My Lomo Obsession

With regards to the lomography post, of course digital photos can be manipulated thanks (or no thanks) to Photoshop.

Obsession: Vanity and Lipsticks.
Chanel so delicious but so un-affordable.
Found an alternative for the shade I wanted though, yay-ness.

Obsession: Luggage.
Ok this is too tiny to be considered luggage, but I love it's vintage-ery.
Holiday, holiday, holiday.

Obsession: ... Goofing off?
I miss my goofy friends so.

But hey, what's the fun in not being able to lug around a big camera?

My brother's flying off to Thailand for 3 weeks for National Service tonight!
Off to send him off! Bye! Off.

Random Midnight Shopping

I was over at Mustafa Centre last night for some nowhere-else-opens-24h midnight browsing.

Adorable quirky evening clutches!

The bundle I was sooooo tempted to get.

I didn't, because I knew they'd be for unnecessary home decoration only, since I already have one for such a purpose -___-.

Big bags I still love :)

I also chanced upon these suits for boys!
I'd totally force my spawn to wear these everywhere.
