Sublimity Cannot Be Copied

Anja Rubik by Horst Diekgerdes

This totally makes me want to buy a white, long, slightly sheer cotton dress and go to Greece. Anja Rubik is eternally beautiful.

Givenchy Mania

So um, who isn't in love with Givenchy's Fall Couture 2010? I'd definitely try and break into the design house, smash a couple of windows and steal a whole rack of dresses if I could. What a cunning plan!

No but really, these creations are sublime. In other words, to DIE FOR! Can R. Tisci do no wrong? The combination of lace, feathers, leather and just the right amount of bling really amounts to a unique Couture show unlike most.

Oh my goodness, I seriously drool everytime my eyes land on that picture. Too beautiful for words. Then again, if I were to wear something like that, (of course the dress being sublime on its own) wouldn't I look kind of... disproportionate? No more just like, "whaaat are you wearing?" Looks great on models, not sure on me. Then again, who knows? I'll just have to see it on the red carpet one day maybe. Still, I'd kill to own one of those. Really, Tisci be warned, I'll hunt you down!

Oh my Dior!

In the fashion world, I'm probably light-years late but every season seems to move so fast that sometimes, I can't keep up! Specially when life sort of gets in the way and I can't spend all day in front of my beloved computer aimlessly surfing the countless troves that is the world wide web.

I've been meaning to take a gooood look (and by good look, I mean flipping through the images of each collection one by one) at the Couture season's offerings and I'm just in loooove with Dior's. Galliano never fails to deliver, he's really just a genius at his craft.

I'm a person who loves flowers and sometimes I get bored and just look up the names of different flowers on the internet (yes, because I'm OCD like that) so it was sort of natural that I would love this collection. Flowers totally make you happy and make a room just look that much nicer, don't you think? Dahlias, hydrangeas, magnolias - oh so nice! Wouldn't it be an absolute dream to wear one of these dresses?

Too many nice things to choose from, I'm just going to flood you with pictures of his Dior's Fall Couture collection now :)

Black and White World

First of all, I apologise for the lack of posts recently! I just came back from Jakarta and didn't bring my computer (gasp!) so I couldn't upload any of photos.

Now, let me ask you a question. Do you have those days where you want to feel a little bit more colourful but then just end up in monochrome? I have those days, A LOT. It's not like I'm complaining because I'm a person who adores 'non-colour' (that being white, black and shades of beige), plus it's all the rage, non?
I think white shirts are my safety. As I look into my wardrobe, there's a whole ROW just dedicated to white shirts (also because I'm slightly OCD, my wardrobe is arranged by colour... (I'm not the only one am I?))

Another question just because I'm curious. Do you guys have go-to outfits? When you have one of those days where you kinda feel 'blah' but want to sort of look good at the same time? (Oookay, so who doesn't want to look good but you get what I mean!) I think black and white is definitely my go-to colour palette.


I'm also learning how to be a little bit more concise when I select what goes into my bag. I was am one of those people who carry their whole world in their bag so carrying this little clutch was definitely... different to say the least. I usually only carry clutches on nights out but thought that I'd try it out just to see if I can survive on the basics.

Mr. Kanye West

So I'm going to SingFest tomorrow and I'm super excited! Really need to update the blog with a new outfit post but I'm in the process of picking and editing some pictures to put up.

In the meantime, let me share with you my excitement to go and see Kanye West tomorrow! And Lupe Fiasco and Kool & The Gang (yeah, cos I'm old school like that...)
Oh and not to mention that I love festival gear, it's taken the summer by storm! Kate Moss and her denim shorts, boots and boho chic top. Ahhh I'll make sure to document everything well tomorrow.

I leave you with a question: have you been to any music festivals this summer? And what did you wear?

Eat well and prosper! ;)

Starman

Recently, I've been going through style.com while being the bum I usually am during the summer. I've also been nerdily observing the Singapore sky these past week and when you usually cannot see the stars when you look directly above you, it's quite the 'occasion'! Sort of strange how weather works since it's been storming a lot due to the typhoons in the area.

Anyway, I'm so boring and nerdy because I'm talking about the weather. Yes, that's what I do in my spare time... So I leave you with a few images that have inspired me to hunt for a couple of pieces that have awesome constellations and satellite images on them (probably not from Christoper Kane [although I'm actually very tempted to get something from his Cruise 2011]...)

First and Last Image: NASA

I find it so cool how he can literally transpose NASA's images on to the pieces and make it look so beautiful. I'd definitely like to look like a constellation ;)
