'The Clackers'

Real Slim Shreddy

I've been wanting to do a trend report on all things shredded but it took me such a long time to do so coz of the very limited time I have in a day. I know it has been circulating for quite awhile and I'm a lil back-dated on this. Anyway, so here it is.

Everyone seems to be wearing it everywhere that it makes me feel there's something wrong with my jeans coz they are not homeless looking. At the same time, I didnt wanna shred the jeans I have mainly due to the fact that fashion comes & goes and when it goes, the shreds are not something reversible and I would be stuck with holes all over my favourite jeans. I guess I'll just be an observer and not a follower in this case.
In the mean time, pardon me, I want to drool over these shreddy style. Oh, anyone who needs a lil help on shredding, there's always my family dog, Raven to help cos she's really gooood at it. Trust me.

Fold 'em Up Style

I hope these hem folding trend lasts a lil longer cos I find it exceptionally convenient with a tinge of style especially when I'm at work. (ooo, i-Spot an Acne lace up booties there) Anyway, back to the topic. I apologize for the slight distraction there. Plus, it will allow some time for the people in my town to absorb this style because currently there hasn't been a single person seen, sporting this trend, except for mutemode, style-antagonist and myself . And I dare to bet on that! Not that we are blowing our own trumpet, what's there to blow about? It's just that, that's the way things are at my place. Fashion just seems so, stagnant here and that's a sad thing to say. I hope they get infected with more fashion bugs. Fast :)

In The Mood For Some Blings

Check out those barbaric rings and banglets (bangles + bracelets). Also some accessories which caught my attention at Urban Outfitters. A chain wrap watch, how cool is that? Looking at my accessories collection, I lacked a lot. My lovely sister, Ivy says that it takes time to achieve that. I would also add, some cash. I guess, we always want what we haven't got, right? Anyway, I've kind of prepared my 'what-to-wears' for my family trip to the city this weekend and it looks something like this:

(SEED basic white tee, DIYed black puff skirt, leopard prints scarf, Nose ankle booties in nude, sunglasses, some rings & faux leather cuff)

Voila..
Just a rough ensemble as I'm still thinking of something fancier.

Vika Voguette

Vika Gazinskaya - A style of her own, she successfully caught my attention with the extended shoulder trenchcoats which are similar to those of the 80's-90's plus the boyish haircut in the first picture which I think, almost resembles Marie Fredriksson of the Swedish pop duo, Roxette. She is the epitome of those busy New Yorkers (she's a Russian btw), walking along the streets, rushing to work. And all you can hear is the clacking of their shoes against the brick floor and some murmuring. Give her a briefcase, a newspaper, a cup of hot coffee, and off she goes.

V has gotta be for Vika. Loves!

p/s: Referring to the previous entry, I would really love to but I am not going to Paris or anywhere near Paris. Perhaps, some time in the future :) It was just out of randomness as I will only be going somewhere out of town this weekend. Have a nice day everyone!

Attention Seeking Militant

(Balmain military inspired, crystal embellished jacket S/S 09)

This would be my second post on Balmain and I might be a lil back-dated for writing something that has been going on for awhile now. I just gotta do a review on this very unique piece before time sweeps it away and into the dumpster. This has got to be the most beautifully remixed jacket, first made popular by the iconic Michael Jackson. If I'm not mistaken, My Chemical Romance tried to revive this almost forgotten military style jacket, in their own version, calling it the BLACK PARADE UNIFORM, which I feel, looking rather skeletor and rib bone-ish instead of being military.
Balmain's version is weightier (I suppose, judging from the heavily embellished diamentés) and bolder (from the trade-marked extended shoulders). Bold enough to last for a lifetime. That's how bold it is. Anyway, I never knew that a military looking jacket can go unbuttoned till I saw Balmain's. I would recommend this to those who wants to make a fashion statement. And to those who are interested in signing up for marching bands. Okay, it was a joke.

Well, I guess Balmain R-O-C-K-E-D it again.

A Thursday Post

(the sartorialist)

I have to say that, I really envy these people. How can they look so effortless and yet can pull off, say a men's shirt, probably of their spouses and yet looking so... like this?? I've been searching for a really cool shirt but couldn't seem to find any around my place where I'm living now. My last resort: Dad, can I borrow your shirt please? Well, even my dad doesn't have any :(
