Mildly Fashionable Rambling

***
I dozed off in my living room waiting for a movie to load and was awakened by hasty knocks [doorbell had no batteries] and unintelligible shouts [*knocks* "Waaaaaaaaiii!" *knocks*].

Thinking what the hell was going on I groggily walked towards the door cursing the person's impatience. As I was nearing the door, it creaked open and immediately closed back. "Shoot, I didn't lock the door, did I?!"

I froze and inched forward slowly in a fighting stance, ready to kick. Then as suddenly as the first time it creaked open again and a package flew in!

I could recognise that manila wrapping anywhere.

"MAILLLLL!!!" I screamed [silently] in delight and relief!!!

More specifically, mail for ME!

Much more specifically, dresses in the mail for moi.

Yayness -_-.

***
Do not keep the mail man waiting or he'll wail. Che-che-check it out it rhymes yo! sorta, mail or he'll wail. Whatever.

I'll remember to lock the door next time.

Honestly this just happened, right down to the fighting stance part. I thought if it's some bastard trying to break in, at least I could break his hands first. Mother's constant nagging is getting to me, an aunt's house was robbed in broad daylight before :(.

I'm more than happy with the dresses, though one is loose. My fault though, measuring for size is not my habit at all.

I will post photos soon now that I know where my memory card adapter is *coughsSHERMINcoughs*.

Of course I could use the USB cable but making excuses to not do so is easier work. Oops.

I'm going to attempt to make prettier fried mars bar.

It's sinfully delicious enough for me but they look like dollops of dough. Ugly.

Oh yeah, for extra yumminess, add a bit of ground cinnamon.

And must serve with vanilla ice-cream, the cold will strangely and illogically ease the heaviness of the dish. Lastly, have very very sparingly unless you wanna say bye to the waistline.

Help Myanmar/Burma :(.

Told you this was pure rambling. The dress in the mail part was mildly fashionable hence appropriate right? No? Pssssh fine.

Christian Dior Couture from Fall '07

Honestly, Dior's the only couture collection that I look forward to every season.
Galliano is pure genius.

Been a while since I last blogged like this. Feels kinda nice :)

To Oxford... or Not to Oxford.

Woo hoo just came back from a midnight practice drive.

I am crazy lemming for... Oxfords. Or jazz shoes. Honestly speaking, I do not know how to differentiate the two so when I'm less ignorant I'll categorise them properly -_-.

Gaaaaaaah, but I'm supposed to be on a shopping fast! Not even a strict diet, a full-on fast! I have some shoe money set aside, but those are reserved for my nude pumps.

Not that I could find some decent (and affordable) ones in Singapore or on Ebay anyway. The only ones I could ever find were these as I later found out Irregular Choice tuxedo oxfords.

These, more affordable hence more coveted ones, are from Urban Outfitters.

I love the red jazz flats, it comes in black too which is what I'd probably get seeing as how I already have a pair of red shoes and ugly black ones.

But I... simply... CAN'T.

Prioritise! PRIORITISE!
PRIORI-FREAKING-TISE!
PRIORI-LV-TISE!


Eeeks! A dress spree!

I'm hopeless. Ciao.

BeanNewYork: Uncommonly Lovely Baby Threads

One advice, never ever take prune juice before sleeping unless you want to be woken up constantly by the incessant gurgling of the bowel and running to the loo. Unnecessary info, I know, but I'm still cranky from lack of sleep *grumbles*.

Squealfest alert! Unless you hate babies [*Gaassssp* Monster, you.].

Because of BeanNewYork, I now want to have a baby! Then I can dress the little bug up like a pretty drool-worthy piece of squishy cupcake.

Apparently it's been spotted on Baby Kingston and if it's good enough for Gwen Stefani's baby it's good enough for mine.

This is such an adorably quirky onesie [they're called onesies!!! CUTE!] :

Drumming squirrel? Genius.

This is such a fabulous coat ever. It's reversible too.
I'll have it in adult size please.

Ballet flats + socks= Pixie socks!
PIXIE socks! Where do they come up with these names...

They also have the most adorable baby hoodies and beanies!

AWWWwwwwwWWWwww googlie wooglie embarrassing baby babbleeee...

Spring '08 Wrap-Up: Prada

I just bought 2 dresses on ebay! Sorry LV Speedy, I'll go think through my actions now :(. Just spreed for 2 bags also! Sorry LV *bows repeatedly*

Something's wrong when you start humanising a bloody brand name x_x. Curse my superficiality.

Anyway! Prada.

This was an interesting collection. It's surprisingly darker, but still as eccentric.

The models look like unhappy fairies who just re-emerged for some serious business.

The interesting cuttings and shapes in the prettiest silk screens and chiffon that is unusually paired with tartan stockings pairing and attention seeking shoes makes this a favourite collection for me.

LV Speedy is still LoVe

Title is a weeee bit misleading but as much as I'd like to, the LV LoVe series is much more $$$, so no deviation from my old flame: the LV Speedy.

In Ireland the Louis Vuitton Speedy costs about SGD800 only!!! For the same price you can only get a second-hand here.

Promised my friend I'd post this so that she can check things out better and know which ones to get for me she'd want.

Gah I just realised how impersonal this blog is, my friends don't have names, they're just "my friends". Gahh.

My friend, Ting, is psyching me to get the LV Speedy from Ireland, and I don't know how she's doing it, but it's working -_- For the next 2 months I'll be having zero life thank you very much. *cries*

1) Monogram 30 vs Monogram 25

Seemingly the only difference between the 2 is size, so it would make sense to get the cheaper 25. Besides the size difference is not so great. Let me go look for the exact dimensions...

According to eLuxury.com:
Monogram 30
12" L x 8" H x 6.5" W
Monogram 25
10" L x 7" H x 6" W

But it's shape and number of prints are also different. While I think I'll be content if I get either, I prefer the more complete look of the Monogram 30.

2) Louis Vuitton Monogram Neverfull

Another bag to look out for would be the LV Neverfull, it's relatively affordable for its size and I love it because, no surprise, it's an oversized carry-all.

I saw someone carrying it and immediately took a liking to it. Because it's oversized it had a slight slouch that I really loved.

In fact I loved it so much, I almost stalked the person carrying it. I wondered why she kept sneaking glances at me and then hugging her bag tightly, lost me in the crowd.

In Singapore I heard it's sold out at boutiques I think, heard it's light as well.

Is it just me, or is the bucket bag becoming a new trend?

P.S. Hope that helps, Ting the fartface speedy :) Ireland is boring :P

P.S.S. Is it $SGD10 or SGD$10 or SGD10? Oops.

Bringing Sexyback with a lil' bit of Hoodie.

Today I woke up late and missed school!!! I'm such a rockstar.

Speaking of rockstars, I've always wanted to pull the blazer over hoodie look off ever since Justin Timberlake did it.


It's casual and effortless yet smart because of the formal blazer.

But I don't have blazers roomy enough/hoodies thin enough. And the weather here don't exactly call for this kind of layering. Meh, I'll figure something out.

Or perhaps I could use the foolproof jacket-hoodie combo too.

I don't know this model -_-
But I do know I want her leather jacket.

Agyness Deyn

I think Justin Timberlake is the coolest person ever, though he humbly denied and said George Clooney is. I would've agreed too, except Clooney belongs to my mother -_-.

More pictures of the sexyback because I know you want to be lovestoned. Don't know where they come from since they're from my, uh, personal folder. My... personal style inspiration folder, that's right *shifty eyes*.

RAWRRR.

Spring '08 Wrap-Up: Giles

If anything this show was confusing. It's all over the place with nature and tea party themes.

The show opened with a stiff denim dress and the last thing I expected was flowy gorgeous gowns and silk t-shirt dresses.

Although I can't quite grasp the concept Giles Deacon is trying to bring across, I can't deny that this is one gorgeous collection. This collection also mostly consists of beautifully tailored dresses, making this yet another favourite Spring collection.






With the kind of fabric and print in the collection, one could easily go overboard. But everything here is played in right proportion, so outfits like these turn out slightly eccentric yet still very wearable.

This has to be about my favourite piece out of the collection. I'm not sure whether it's just the cheekiness of the fox ear-ed head ornament, but I love the dress all the same.
