Going straight

So I was wondering what sort of torture to inflict onto my hair, curl losing mojo and all, and in a split second of none-creativity, I got it straightened.

From this...
Yea I know you can't really see the curls either but it's a nice photo HAHA.
Lomography effect rocks.
Anyway.

To this.

Oooh. Check out how my hair colour pops with silky tresses.
I was supposed to have straight eye curtain bangs, but never mind.
And my hair has never ever been this long, so I'm quite happy :)

Next plan of action is to Anna Sui SS '08 it up.

I really love the hair on Irina Lazereanu, with peekaboo colour in her fringe.

But a muted purply colour would look understatedly awesome too.
But this colour is pretty hard to find in colour extensions. Hmm.

One of my qualms was that red hair extension would be a bitch to dress up for, and that I'd have to abandon colours. Not so, fortunately :)


I wear tons of purple, bluish, green, pinks, and black, shouldn't be a problem for me.

Giant chunks of crazy colour, sounds good, no?

Spring '08 Wrap-Up: Marni

Today I woke up with a fever, sniffy nose, a scratchy throat and puffy red eyes. Booooooo.

Now I have to miss the flea market at Powerhouse and I had to cancel a visit to the annual festive street bazaar at Geylang. I hate the place because of the crazy crowds, but I've already prepared a craving for the food :(.

And for some reason I'm watching A Walk to Remember, hoorah.

Anyway, another favourite collection, Marni.

Skirts and dresses in plenty of volume, I love.









Off to get better now.
I hate being sick.

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.

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.

Spring '08 Wrap-Up: Zac Posen

Yet another one of my favourite collections, Zac Posen's creations were absolutely gorgeous. About every shape is tastefully done, be it deconstruction, pleats or ruffles.

Spring '08 Wrap-Up: Betsey Johnson

School is starting on monday! Which explains the slow update - been trying to make full use of whatever holiday that's left! Now to figure out how to appease my mom and regain some lost sleep :(

Anyway, it's retro Prom night at Betsey Johnson.

Adorable pouffy dresses with layers and layers of tulle in a yummy bubblegum colour palette makes me wish we had a better prom.

I like how there're different looks for different, uh, cliques. Heh.

Another thing to love - the quirky and genius accessorising.

The Couples




Going Solo







I found some gorgeous purses myself and I'll upload them asap.
Uploading is such a hassle now. Hate losing things *grumbles*

Spring '08 Wrap-Up: Anna Sui

Another favourite collection from Fashion week, Anna Sui.

This collection is crazy rocking!

The edgy hair, happy-looking models, the burst of the wonderful mixture of colour, texture and print that is so reminiscent of Anna Sui all come together to form pretty punk rock of every appealing form.
