MARY KATRANTZOU IS A GENIUZ.

Mary Katrantzou SS12

Combining images of nature(Underwater, fishes, flowers) & man's trash( scrap metals). Total sensory overload. As I had to take some time to digest all the crazy prints+colours because my eyes couldn't quite get used to all that craziness.

Shouldn't multi-task seriously. Tetris battling + writing 204 + looking at SS12 collections + watching ancient aliens. My brain is swimming. Applying what Dr Chen, my CS201 lecturer, said. This is total message overload.
BUT SO GLAD THAT MY RECESS WEEK IS HERE. LIKE FINALLY.

They call it "BALMAINIA"

One of the few labels that I am consistently in love with. Although Christophe Decarnin has left Balmain & his replaced by Olivier Rousteing, Balmain still retains that rock'n roll biker chick look that it has been famous for. I fall in love every time I see their new collection.

I love this collection because it's every thing I'm currently obsessed with : Pastels. Flared Jeans. Structured jackets. Crazy prints. Metallic/Glittery stuff. Wide-leg pants. Flowy skirts. White. Fringe

& it embodies the look I always want to have : the sharp, masculine look that is feminine at the same time. (A tough feat really cause so often, my short hair+face makes me look like a boy ): )

I LOVE THESE SKINNY-BUTTONED-FLARED JEANS. I make no sense at all but the silhouette is gorgeous. Dusty pink skinnies is another thing I want to add on my wishlist. & THE BALMAIN BELTS LOOK SICK!!!!!

Moving on to other topics, I am currently making different friendship bracelets now. Can't wait to see how they turn out ^^

TO LOOK PRETTY AS YOU NUA.

Nua [NW-AH] - Verb.
-The act of  lazing around doing absolutely nothing/ nothing useful & fulfilling.

I am so terribly sick....again. I fucking hate my immune system. As long as I go a few days without enough sleep, eat a little unhealthily & hang out with germy people, I'LL BE SICK.
Guess those nights of partying + McSpicy(s) + hanging out friends & colleagues with flu is the cause of my current predicament.

So with so much free time to spare, I stumbled across this on style.com
WELL WITH THE FACT THAT ALL I WANT TO DO IS NUA AROUND, I WANT TO LOOK THIS GOOD WHILE I DO SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slouchy knits + hoodies in these awesome colours...
You can never go wrong with Alexander Wang!

SAY HELLO TO THE NEW RESIDENTS OF MY WARDROBE.

Lately, I've been having loads of inspirations in terms of D.I.Y. & I've been having the urge to get things done. hence the sudden...production of these few items. 

1)THE SPINE SHIRT.

Saw this on Weheartit (Seriously the most kickass website on earth. Maybe I should get a tumblr 'cause that's where most of the stuff from Weheartit come from)  Anyway I'm digressing. I just HAD TO try it out myself.

So I awakened my sketching skills (which had lied dormant since I was 14). Armed with 2 fabric markers & a cheap $7 shirt from Song & Song @ Lucky Plaza, I embarked on my mission to recreate this HOLYFUCKINGSHITAWESOME Spine Tee.

& this took me at around 3 hours. I had to google pictures of the vertebral column & try to sketch from those tiny 300 x 300 pictures. It was hell on my eyes & brain, BUT THE FINISHED PRODUCT WAS PRETTY GOOD ( if I do say so myself)

2) VVESTIGES GLITTER HEELS

These heels were too lovely to resist. Firstly, there were GLITTERY. Secondly, they were like those Jeffrey Campbells, except at more than half the price. Thirdly, I'VE BEEN MEANING TO GET A PAIR OF KICKA$$ HEELS FOR THE LOOOOOOOOOOOONGEST TIME.

So I took the risk & bought it.

& guess what, it was too small. :'(
WHY ARE MY FEET SO HUGE?? WHY? WHY?! WHY?!?!?!?!!?

WHY CAN'T I HAVE MY HEIGHT BUT HAVE SIZE 38 FEET?!?!?!!?!?!?!?
Wore this & went out with Ms Sihua & I died. My feet have like blisters, cuts, wounds from the shoe. It was scary. It looks like I mutilated my feet.

Hence, I've named them The Shiny Torture Devices From (Fashion) Hell.

MEH. This name sucks. & I have to get them....stretched, quickkk!!!!!!!!!

3) BYSI FLOATY PINK SKIRT

IT'S BRIGHT PINK.

IT'S FLOATY.

IT'S GIRLY.
& it fits my mood perfectly because I've been in a real girly mood lately. Plus they remind me of the awesome long,pink skirts from Jil Sander SS2011☺

4) I-HAVE-YET-TO-NAME-THIS BAG.

I don't know what's up with my obsession with Blood & Bones. Since I have like 10000000000 canvas totes, mostly plain. I just have to 'embellish' this new addition to my collection that my mum got for me from the Land of Smiles.
Although it does look like blood, I wish I had made the felt blood stains....BIGGER.
Nonetheless, I like how this turned out. & I'm not going to change anything about it cause sewing this shit cause me to stab myself with those nasty needles at least 50 times.

DID YOU KNOW THAT STABBING YOURSELF WITH A NEEDLE UNDERNEATH YOUR FINGERNAIL IS FUCKING PAINFUL. I WOULD TAKE 50 PRICKS OF NEEDLES ON MY FINGERS THAN GET STABBED UNDER MY FINGERNAIL AGAIN.

Just saying.

GREYHOUND.

Stumbled across this label while I was shopping at Tangs. It's from Bangkok & I love how whimsical & adorable the designs are. The Spring/Summer 2011 collection for Playhound By Greyhound is too cute. I love how they matched all the pinks+blues!

TOTALLY DIGGING THE PEACE SIGN VESTS, ROUND SHADES & THE LAYERINGS!

(Sigh gotta go work now. Totally dreading work today. :( :( :( :(  )

WHEN I GET MARRIED,

All girls want a dream wedding.

Some girls want it with a giant Mercedes Benz / Bentley/ Rolls Royce as their carriage, loads of roses(preferably having rose petals being rained on them), have a gorgeous huge-ass white cake(that no one will eat) & have someone like Mariah Carey as their wedding singer.

Of course, The Dress is the thing that all brides will obsess over.
Some want it with a 10metre long train.
Others want it as large & white with lots of lace/tulle/Swarovski crystals..

As for me, I have not made any plans for my wedding. In fact, it's hard for me to even visualise myself getting married. Sad,really.

Well, if I'm getting married & happen to have a lot of spare ca$h around because I either become
a) filthy rich
or
b) marry someone filthy rich.
I WANT TO WEAR COUTURE FOR MY WEDDING.
Girls usually want to wear Vera Wang. Meh. I'm not like most girls. If I really have such an ability/luck, my dream wedding dress would be something ABSOLUTELY CRAZY,JAW-DROPPING, SHOW-STOPPING, EYE-CATCHING & GOSSIP-INDUCING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I admit, I'm a serious attention whore)

IN FACT, I EVEN HAVE EXAMPLES.

1)ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
Kate Middleton wore an Alexander McQueen wedding dress during the royal wedding. Honestly, when I heard it was Alexander McQueen, I thought it would be something absolutely theatrical+stunning with loads of lace,feathers & fabric. But when I saw the dress, it looked pretty....simple for an Alexander McQueen.
But if it were up to me, I would be wearing...

style.com
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN FW2011

• GREY HARNESS DRESS.
  Damn this grey dress is kickass. A mix of BDSM+delicate princess with it's leather harnesses,studs,lather gloves & the grey flowy skirt. The detailing is exquisite. But a little too...provocative for a wedding,no? Nonetheless, it's absolutely gorgeous!!!
  
• WHITE FEATHER/RUFFLE SWAN-LAKE HALTER DRESS.
  Something my mum,godmum #1 & godmum#2 will approve of.It's loud but not overtly so. So SWAN-LAKEISH! The feathers,raw embroidery & the white studded harness keeps it edgy & crazy but it looks so princessy at the same time. *Swoon*
  
• BADASS FRINGED-SEE-THROUGH-LACEY BLACK DRESS.
  Major #fuckintense shit here. This dress looks like those in Givenchy Fall Couture 2010(see below) but even crazier with all the fringe.I'll look absolutely badass when I strut down the aisle in this. Gothic,warrior princess-bride. I LIKE.♥. But it'll probably give a handful of wedding guests heart attacks with all that skin & general craziness going on on the dress.
  

style.com
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN FW2011

Of course, there are the big dresses that so many girls dream of wearing. These two dresses are absolutely stunning. Such exquisite detailing(gorgeous ruffles,embroidery,folds) that Alexander McQueen is so famous for.
However, no matter how gorgeous these two dresses are, I'm not drawn to such big dress.
Chingay performances (BIG-ASS-HEAVY-WIRE-TULLE SKIRT OMGOMGOMG) has taught me that big dresses can hurt you. It can either be in the form of bruises on hips,or backache, or dehydration from how hot&heavy these dresses get.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

2)GIVENCHY
Five words: RICARDO.TISCI.IS.A.GENUS.

style.com
GIVENCHY FALL 2010 COUTURE

There is a reason why couture is so expensive. I can see thousands of hours of hand-crafted work on each & every dress.There's no way a machine can recreate all the finery & details in the dresses above.
The gold dress is particularly stunning. LOOKS LIKE A GOLD,SHINY STUDDED/BEJWELED MERMAID PRINCESS!

style.com
GIVENCHY SS2011 COUTURE

Like Origami! The feathers on the wings look like they're stitched on one by one on the sheer organza(?) fabric.& I love how every white dress has a bright-coloured piece behind.

Although I'm not particularly digging the plastic helmet. Looks like a cross between those Japanese Gundam robot heads and a samurai's helmet.

style.com
GIVENCHY SS2011 COUTURE

You know what this dress reminds me of.
They remind me of bug's wings. Like dragonflies' or butterflies' wings with all it's tiny,barely discernible details.

Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't have ten to a hundred thousands of $$$$ to spare in the future & the prospect of me getting married is pretty far away.

BUT A GIRL CAN DREAM RIGHT!

An after-note: I just realise this. Most girls' dream wedding would be at some exotic location where they would most importantly,they would marry a really dashing,charming hot guy as the groom. My whole post seems to indicate that my dream wedding only involves me wearing couture dresses...
Like I said. I'm not like most girls.

NASTYGALS DO IT BETTER

SHOPNASTYGAL.COM

Kicka$$ tights. I can totally imagine myself pairing them with a ratty oversized T-shirt/tank like above before heading out. Perfect for those lazy days where I'm too braindead to even pair two articles of clothing together. & they'll be perfect for school!!!

Too bad they're USD80 a pop. :'(

shopnastygal.com

& OF COURSE, EVERYTIME I'M ON NASTYGAL, I HAVE TO LOOK AT THESE JEFFREY CAMPBELL BABIES & DROOL/DREAM/IMAGINE THAT I CAN OWN A PAIR.
I love wedged booties/boots. & Jeffrey Campbell's boots always look so awesome! The pink suede ones is also a cheaper alternative to those Minimarket babies I've been lusting after. Unfortunately, these JC ones are half the price...at USD140. Hmmmmmm.....
Hopefully..the Jeffrey Campbell lookalikes from vvestiges will look good+fit me!

Fingers crossed!

SWEDES DO IT BETTER.

IS IT THE FOOD THEY EAT? IS IT THE WATER THEY DRINK? IS IT THE AIR THEY BREATHE?????????

Why are the Swedes so AWESOME!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

First Ikea( Probably the most kickass furniture retailer in the whole wide universe!), now their clothing labels. H&M is the most famous high street label from Sweden but there are a couple that I love too & I WISH THEY WOULD SET UP SHOP IN OUR LOVELY SUNNY HOT-AS-AN-OVEN SINGAPORE!!!!

First, MONKI
I first read about this shop on various blogs( fashiononyourfeet, carolinesmode) When I was in Hong Kong, I was at Langham Place where I was really excited about H&M (which turned out to be a disappointment). However MONKI made my day. The shop was so whimsical! Clothes were hung on hangers suspended from the ceiling and there were the cute fatblackbirds mascot EVERYWHERE. SO ADORABLE! Plus the clothes were cheap. A skirt for S$20-S$25. A top for S$15. 

& the fitting rooms were the bomb! The doors have different designs on each side. So when you spin it, if it shows a particular side, it means its occuppied. 

Which means there are no locks. Very dangerous because any ignorant person can just come in and spin the doors...

I ♥♥♥ THEIR LOOKBOOKS!

All pictures from monki.com

The styling+the theme always fit each other perfectly. & they always have quirky illustrations/paintings in their lookbook. Normal lookbooks just includes a model posing with the clothes in a blank background. But MONKI always have lovely,detailed,adorable lookbooks! 

& their clothes have such adorable names. I WANT ALL THESE NAO NAO NAO NAO!!!
(Someone sponsor me an all expense paid trip to hongkong pwease pwease pwease????)

& THE NEXT BRAND: MINIMARKET

All from minimarket.se

EXCUSE MY HORRIBLE PRT-SCRNING BUT LOOK AT THESE SICK SHIZZ. HOLY THOSE SHOES LOOK LETHAL!!!!! & THE SECOND BOOT IS THE BOOTIE I'VE BEEN LUSTING AFTER SINCE FOREVER!!!!!!!! The raw leather bag is too neat & those round shades are to die for. (Excuse me while I have a gushing sesh about how awesome all the stuff are.)

IF ONLY THEY ARE NOT SO EXPENSIVE.....

Oh well...it sucks that they're not here. So I can only settle for IKEA. Speaking of IKEA, I HAVEN'T HAD THEIR MEATBALLS IN FOREVER.

Maybe I should go there for breakfast tomorrow☺

Goodnight folks! Don't stay up too late watching the elections results!
