bored at home

i'm on a term break/hari raya break, honestly i have no idea. i'm one of those people who are the last to know about say, common tests, location of the next class, etc. thankfully i've got my buddies who understand me and more importantly, text me reminders :)
anyways, i have too much free time on my hands right now

have you heard scott 'the sartorialist' schuman and garance dore of 'garance dore' (duh) are an item! aww i got the warm and fuzzies when i found out. i think they make an awfully sweet couple. and a stylish pair too.

anyhoo, the burberry show was aired live online. didn't managed to catch it though, but i did scroll through the collection and it was a lovely one as usual. but i still prefer their fall collections, somehow trench coats doesn't scream spring

and with that London fashion week is over. (well not just that la, there were fat models at mark fast, old models at skyes, lara stone finally! and lots of prints and colour :) happy 25th anniversary.

bipolar babble

it's 3am and i'm reading magazines (i-D and junk) and chilling with some new songs fresh from the internet (arctic monkeys, the raconteurs, the crash, finally got gigolo! woot)
i'm so proud of myself btw, i fixed this problem with my computer by asking google

i was reading interviews of lara stone, my favourite model at the moment, and tilda swinston, and i slept on the magazine, drooled all over it, hehe
but anyways it got me thinking of what an interview with me would be like

J: is there anyone you would like to play stylist for?
J: theres so many, but one person in specific is this guy i see around college. he's got aviators and long-ish hair, kinda reminds me of sergio pizzorno from kasabian and the good looking bassist from guns n rosses. what he's got now is alright but i think i can make it better. i'd dress him in skinnier jeans, craggy shirts, vest and messier hair. oo maybe even a headband but not one of those girly ones, i'm thinking leather yes i think thats good. now top it up with a chunky leather strap
watch and more wrist stuff, nothing shinny.

so this is what you do in college huh?
well yea pretty much, haha. Jill and i love to people watch to pass the time between classes. after a while you start to recognize some of them, like the guy i mentioned, i don't know his name and i don't intend to find out. doesn't feel right to know so much about a stranger. but i do give them nicknames like tattoo guy, blond guy, tall guy with the nice indigo hoodie

lets talk fashion, what are your thoughts on spring 2010 so far?
hmm. i've not gone through all the collections from new york, but i haven't seen any that i'm crazy about. oh but threeasfour definitely caught my eye, i love the use of circular swishy cut outs, sheer fabric and yoko ono :) i'm waiting for the whimsy from the other european cities, new york is too wearable.
one by one models snipped off her overalls, thats what the scissors are for

i really love look no.8, but her boobs were showing and i ain't gonna put it on ma blog

more shoe envy again at phillip lim, remember those from spring 09' :]
drooling over these by ralph lauren

shoes at isaac mizrahi were gorgeous too

spotted any trends?
i'm no good at that, but the new girls are definitely dominating the runways. lots of new faces, with many established ones missing eg. sigrid, georgina, lara, tanya, raquel. oh but irina lazareanu seems to be out of retirement, ai tominaga too (fingers crossed) o how i missed those cheekbones

ai at 3.1 phillip lim

well this was fun, lets do it again soon
sure. over some scones and coffee?

ok. by the way, you're crazy you know that
yes. yes i do

funny story

i never thought of myself as an absent minded person, although i've been called everything from slow to stoned.
however after today i have to agree. (maybe just a little)
you see, i nearly entered a stranger's car thinking it was my dad's. (they were the same colour alright)
if it wasn't for the locked doors who knows what woulda happened.
gosh, i remembered thinking 'why is hannah in the car and more importantly why is her skirt so ugly?' when i was knocking on the car's window.
then it hit me, oiy i wanted so bad to jump into the drain nearby!
embarrassing :|

still alive

got a letter from hosanna. can't figure out what the picture is supposed to be, but let's just leave as "hot guy in the dark"

haven't left the house without these babies
i've grew very fond of my messy hair. (haven't combed it in weeks)
facinated by Oasis's video for 'the importance of being idle'.
trials are just a weekend away, i'm freaking out!

btw, wei fen, happy birthday again! it never gets tiring :]
ok back to the books. baahh!
