I meant to post this quite some time ago…. but yea.

Coco Rocha and Brad Kroenig for G2000!

I first saw the ad campaigns on a bus, which sped by me at probably 60km/h in the early morning when I was still woozy-zleepy. That girl sure looked like Coco Rocha.

The second time, I saw it splashed across a bus too, but this time at the bus stop too. Okay, so it can’t be a Hong Kong model I don’t know who has undergone lots of plastic surgery (or photoshop?) to resemble Coc Rocha.

Then it hit,

WTF IT IS COCO ROCHA!

Right after that I’ve been seeing it in magazines and advertisement boards and allll over the place.

It is just so incongruous with the Chanel Pre-Fall 2008 Campaign.

You know it’s summer, or it’s June, when the magazine stands are strewn with strings of words like “BEST BIKINI BUYS”, “THE SWIMSUIT ISSUE”, “WHERE TO SPEND YOUR SUMMER” blah blah blah…

I don’t really like those bikini spreads.

I don’t really like being in the sun. I’m quite fair, I can never get a tan no matter how long I stay in the sun, I only turn red and peel. That hurts. Also, I’m not anywhere near Angelina Jolie or Cameron Diaz’s shape, so even if those spreads have figure specific reccomendations, chances are girls like me will still end up looking like carelessly swaddled lumps of flesh.

Point is, I got two magazines - Nylon Japan and ViVi (Asian Edition) to tide me over this month of bikini bombardment.

From the looks of it, Japan seems to be quite preoccupied with gladiator sandals!

Like Vogueite, I am getting a bitttt tired of seeing gladiator sandals around. But those floral heeled sandals really appeal to me!

I love those lace trimmed navy blue shorts in the last picture! I shall see if I can modify any of my shorts

I’m more accustomed to the clean, neat, but stylish layouts that most local magazines subscribe to, but I’m completely intrigued by the messy, chaotic, cutouts, intermingling text and pictures just makes me want moreeee.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I see Raquel Zimmermann’s name I feel like I have to say her surname with such verve and velocity, like ZIMMERMANN!!! (If you know what I mean, haha)

But couple her (decked out in the most gorgeous of dresses) with decathlete Bryan Clay and you really have fashion hurtled to the heights of the heavens and depths of the sea! Very wonderfully shot by Mario Testino.

It’s great to see so much movement and energy captured in a still, and that you can see it in so many places in a single frame - the hair, the tensed up muscles, the way the fabric trails behind…

(Psst, grab her glorious and speedy suede gladiator sandals from Calvin Klein!)

I love the Lanvin dress in the last picture. I already looked stunning on the runway (though I wasn’t keen on the dramatic, deep-coloured make up - think it takes away too much from the clothes!) but pictured like this, it’s literally breath-taking.

I don’t like exercising much. Not unless I can look as picturesque as this everytime (hur hur!).

Turns out that Harper’s Bazaar churns out a daily 4-page fashion fix recording the previous day’s shows. Cool!

Especially cool because somehow we got in it - Issue #3 Sunday, March 30, 2008 under the Style at the Tent column! So here’s what we wore (See second picture, from L-R)
