Hi everyone! I’ll make this quick since I have an examination to sit for in less than 9 hours. Thanks so much for being patient with our lack of updates.
Jo and I are still drowning in exam week(s). But tomorrow I have a small window of opportunity to update! I promise to write as swiftly as I possibly can, hopefully faster than it takes for me to cough out 4 economics essays (*bleagh*) and with the wonders of wordpress’ schedule funtion, you’ll hopefully have some eye-candy to see and read in the week ahead.
Hang tight! And hope you are having a good week. (At least it isn’t raining as much as it was last week)
- Sarah, who should be studying.

Dearest readers,
Jo and I seek your kind understanding as we disappear from the face of the earth and delve deep deep down into our readings, textbooks, note, lecture slides; lock ourselves away in the library/a very quiet corner and study our backsides off for the looming examinations happening in the next two weeks.
Sporadically, when we are in dire need of regaining our sanity, away from Market Research, Service Processes, Org Change and Design, Finance and the likes, we’ll definitely update (:
Thank you for being ever-so-patient and understanding.
Much Love,
Wottoncool

Yes, it was ten past six when we shot these pictures. It was a longgggg day at school before that! These pictures are actually our own interpretations of Puma’s new Create Your Style campaign.
Well, um, our pictures did turn out quite different from the originals. We kinda got carried away with the drawing. I think we took a whole half an hour? Haha. Kinda silly actually, cos you can’t see the tremendous effort we put into cross-hatching and creating patterns zomg.
Check out the other people who were involved in this campaign remix on Puma’s facebook fan page, and look out for their new store in in 313 Somerset, come December 2009!
December sounds a really long time away, but hello it’s only only only 23 days away! Okay time for Christmas now.

Remember this?
It’s like dreams come true and someone Wingardium Leviosa‘d Christopher Bailey to us. Sorta. Kinda.
WOTTONCOOL will be at Burberry ION Orchard, 7pm tonight, to celebrate the opening of their new store! With creative director, Christopher Bailey, no less!
And of course, a stable of international and local celebs. Think we might faint from exposure and being within such close proximity of the ST*RZ. Fash-Eccentric, One Sixty Notepad, Rock The Trend, Bagaholicboy, will yall make sure that we still look glam if we need to be stretchered out of the party? Lol.
What to wear, what to wear! O, decisions.

It’s a good feeling to be kinda sheltered while you’re still young and growing. And that is what PARCO@MILLENIAWALK’s doing with The Fashion Incubator Programme.
Young and up-and-coming designers with their own labels, but without a strong distribution channel can look forward to becoming part of a 6,000 sq feet Fashion Incubator space, complete with mentorship, business development support and training programme.
This idea was imported from Parco in Japan, and ooohhh, doesn’t it sound like a dream? At least after a lot of hard work.
Mmmm. I often dream about having my own clothing line, or shop, or work with my mum at her florist’s, but I tend to forget that oh, at the end of the day, it’s business, it’s entrepreneurship. (Yes, even though I’m studying business… lol)
Here’s Priscilla, formerly from Swirl, but now with her own label, Chalk! – which very much embodies her, if I can say so. Cute as a button (and polka dots) and way sweet. Look out for her and some other designers, because
wottoncool is giving away
FIVE PAIRS OF TICKETS TO THE
next-NEXT DESIGNER OF THE YEAR 2009

Pedder Red has a a new collaboration with Wyman Wong, a multi-tasking celeb (of sorts?) from Hong Kong.
He created a tantalising five-piece collection inspired by the tailoring and work of fashion designers such as Martin Margiela, Christophe Decarin, and Yves Saint Laurent, and you’ll see why in the pictures.
Biker chains and mini dress for Christophe (Balmainia, Balmainia, Balmainia), and a poufy sweetheart tiered dress for Oscar.
How adorable, how adorable, HOW ADORABLE ARE THESE?
No prizes for guessing, this is Yves. The tuxedo at the back actually has two heels so that the trousers work better, and the flappy collar, lapel and bow-tie looks like a pretty bow at the back of the shoe from far.
Martin – The one with the mannequin on spindly legs is just pure sechzzzzz. So hawt!
My boyfriend was there with me in Pedder Red over the weekend to give his opinion and help me decide – but to no avail. When I saw the pictures, Yves was mine. But when I tried Martin on, I was torn.
Martin or Yves? Tough choice innit? Help me decide!

I’m trying to do the pervy just-say-a-6-pack-on-legs-with-a-totally-cute-face-walk-past hel-lo!
Can you tell?
Anyway, it’s because I’m welcoming this pair of Alaia’s to partake in my communion of height-enhancing footwear. And I won them on eBay at USD99 + 30 (shipping), with no other bidders.
No other bidders. Are you guys crazy or what?
My other Alaia is was a suede belt, bought for a dollar, with a price tag of $790, that now belongs to Sarah.
Okay now make a beeline to oogle at my shoes. I secretly hope everyone’s jealous ahhahahah. Hope they fit! (:

I not-so-recently adopted a new mission in life, and that was to find the perfect pair of jeans, the perfect white shirt, the use and abuse leather bag, the perfect watch, the all-purpose sunnies and, OH WAIT THAT’S LIKE FIVE THOUSAND MISSIONS.
Well, on the top of the list – JEANS! I’ve loved (a little too much) a pair of jeans from River Island and Uniqlo, and I’m ready to shell out some moolah on some designer jeans. I’ve done time fitting in Evisu, Seven for all Mankind, Sass & Bide, and some other cult-cult stuff whose names I can neither pronounce nor remember, but no, there were no super stunning designs or leg-lengthening/bum-lifting fits that made me want to pull out $500-600 dollars for glorified denim.
On my imaginary tai-tai day around Orchard Road one afternoon, I went into the house of checks and trenches and zomg jeans!!
I never knew Burberry sold jeans in its Brit line, and really wicked fitting ones at that. No cheesy monogram when you turn up the hem, no flashy 3yo-drawing-of-bird looking thing on your bum (lol), no fugly stitching trying to pass off as cool.
My fave is this pair, really skinny and very washed down the front, with huge zips at the ankle. I usually don’t like anything with a wash, but somehow I find this irresistable. Just like the man behind the brand. Nom nom.
Sturdy, not flashy, and it fits like a gloveeee. The great thing is that it’s just slightlyyyy under $500. Hello!
BTW, have you visited the store in ION? I love all of the interiors, and that they always use fresh eucalyptus – my fave um, foliage?

Here’s what we did today.
The most artistic we’ve been in like… 500 years. Zomg so sadz. We crosshatched like mad in half an hour.
PURR MEOW!! Let’s play a game of, what sports fashion brand sounds like these onomatopoeia? (Shiz, I haven’t used this word since Sec 2!)
Sadly our drawings obscured our outfits.. so er… no outfit pictures yet!
