Idyllic

Had a picnic with Arissa and a few friends today. Perfect excuse to dress all idyllic and act all summer-like. Times like these make me want to buy a hat with a huge, floppy brim, although I do not actually have any practical use for them.
Also, I realized that Gladiator sandals are extremely 2008, if [...]

Outfit post: Pimpin’ Danny Roberts

I received this in the mail about 2 weeks ago. A T-shirt with illustration by Danny Roberts from Igor+Andre. His “Blogger series” illustrations are beautiful, featuring the most awesome fashion bloggers around.
It is a little bigger than my usual T-shirts but I do enjoy the comfort of rolling around in big T-shirts occasionally.
And I love [...]

Outfit post: How I wish to go down with the sun.

We were lucky to have nice lighting yesterday when taking pictures; I really love this set.
To echo Arissa’s sentiments, we are really sorry for the lack of updates. Work/school has been unkind to us lately, but be assured that we will make up for the lack of updates with more posts in the near future. [...]

Outfit post: Wings make you fly.

Hi everyone,
sorry for the lack of posts. I’ve been accumulating stuff I wanna post but I guess I’m too much of a procrasinator.
FEAR NOT for it has been a productive day today. Dawn and I snapped some pictures while we were out.
I’m loving these Ann Demeulemeester lookalike laced up boots from Jeffrey Campbell for LF [...]

Ann Demeulemeester A/W 2009 RTW

When I saw this collection, an infinite possibility of DIY projects just hit me like a bus.
First it’s those feathered headbands.
It retails at Luisaviaroma for a whopping € 329.17.
I’m going to try and make one for less than 1/10 of that price. Sorry Ann D, I’m a fan but paying that much for feathers [...]

Shoes OMG Shoes

Greetings from London~!!
I’ve been on a shopping spree lately, which shouldn’t be the case since I am broke from shopping. Ah, the vicious cycle.
Nonetheless, I proclaim that shoes are not merely a “want”. They are a f**king necessity. No one is allowed to argue that.  *folds arms*
Speaking of which. I recently came across an image [...]

Outfit post: Maxi-mise

Jumping on a maxi skirt bandwagon.
I bought this when I was out shopping with Dawn. In which I declared that I am looking for a nice jersey maxi skirt in black. Those were my criteria. I didn’t think I would find one really. But lo’and behold we found a shop selling it and to my [...]

Sketches

Sometimes I forget what it was like to be in school, rushing out projects and garments. I still remember the sleepless nights the crazy amount of caffeine consumed in a single day and the adrenalin rush every time something gets done on time.
I still sew my own clothes from time to time. Granted right now, [...]
