Collage 1 : Blazer

Been doing some collages lately. 

Mostly on trends and am also planning to add  guide on 

where to buy similar pieces in the metro.

It's tedious work and as much as I wanted to post everyday

resources are scarce and internet connections

as always very uncooperative.

So I'll be updating this post on how much this greatness

costs and where to find it.

ringin' the new year

I thought green is this year's color.

Before 2010 ended, I saw Victoria Beckham wearing a green dress.

But haven't seen any surge of "going green" yet.

I am loving my leopard flat shoes bought from Dorothy Perkins.
A different version came out first. With black bow tie in the middle.
I didn't bought it. Of course, regret follows.

green top Guess; pants and leopard shoes Dorothy Perkins; 

A friend of mine saw it in Rockwell.
She asked her friend who works there to reserve it for me.
I gave a wrong shoe size. Yes, I forgot my shoe size!

I even asked my office mate if his brother, who works in London, can buy it for me.
But it's already out of stock online.

Then came "the second coming". No more second thoughts.
I promise to post clearer shot of my leopard printed flats.
I love it so much and am afraid to use it everyday.

And picture below is all about my rings.
I bought my Jaguar ring at the time I'm trying to control
my shopping spree
I feel guilty, gluton every time I shop.
But I can't let the ring go.

fashion whitewash

during Fashion Week am always looking forward to Rag & Bone, Balmain, Alexander Wang and Marc Jacob's shows. they are young and usually very distinct from any other shows. 

they set trends.

but the collections from Rag & Bone and Wang's Spring/Summer 2011 - am finding it a bit bland. 

 they are in a white bandwagon. simple and minimalistic.

Balmain stayed with previous trend of rock and roll while Marc Jacob is moving on. 

with a very 60s take and colorful indeed.

i am not very much into all the simplistic take designer's are in right now. 

remember 90s and early 2000s? been there, done that.

we should all have fun.

so if the clothes below are the Spring/Summer 2011 collections, i would be very happy indeed.

Rag & Bone Fall 2010

Balmain Fall 2009

And yeah as the track during Balmain's show - he really did it his way. same way - ripped, holed, black and tough.

Balmain S/S 2011

and I am a bit partial on this one. 

it's Freja.

as much as I disagree with all the whitewash going on right now

Freja always brings out the beauty of the clothes she's in

Rag & Bone S/S 2011

the sad thing with all these - Balmain became old and i can't remember even just a single look from Wang's S/S 2011 collection.

so took a peek at style.com - strangely am finding it fresh! just like revisiting Rag & Bone's collection.

there's hope then?

 

maybe i should have just said - Wang, Bone, Jacob and Decarnin will always be super heroes of fashion.

oh, how influential they really are!

as far as i can remember

... we'd been saving mother earth.

when i was in grade school it's always been the ozone layer.

now that i'm working it's earth hour.

see, fashion people say that designers has this knack of having the same ideas at the same time.

same trend at the same time.

now beige, nude, earthly colors are back. 

so tell me, this time who dictates who?
