Before hitting the books hard on Monday, attended a friend’s 21st birthday celebrations where we were all also celebrating the last day of school (and finishing my module assignment early!)
After dinner and before arriving at Double-O, we were all given glow-in-the-dark bracelets. The ones you buy in packs of 50 and only about 10 actually work well.
Usually, I wear them (good and not-so-good) in this random jumble… But this time, they were arranged in gradient. I quite like it! hahas
So totally random, but don’t you like my temporary bling?!
Had to make up for my blah outfit that night. (:

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.

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! (:

Last I measured (which was quite some time ago) my height was a decent 171cm. Slightly above average, there isn’t much need (for both vertically and practicality’s sake) to be wearing heels.
But that has never stopped my love and appreciation for beautiful shoes, especially the high-heeled sorts… It’s either 3inches and above or nothing. Painful as it may potentially be, I really love the arch created and how it elongates.
Friends sometimes ask how I can walk in 4-inch heels the whole day. And why I’d subject myself to such pain and torture and inconvenience (balancing on the bus in 4-inch heels, with bulky bag and laptop in hand is a skill yo!)
But as if 4 inch heels aren’t scary enough.
Meet Burberry’s AW09 Shoes
Burberry AW09 Lace-up Platform Sandals
According to Burberry, these shoes have a towering 18cm heel! Can you imagine being almost 20cm taller?! WOAH! Crazily insane but pure LOVE. Pure 7inches of LOVE!
Burberry AW09 Braided Platform Sandals
There is something very understated yet lustable about this leather strap detailing, wood platform and rubber sole combination. Fierce and feminine and yet not over-the-top blinged out.
And usually, when I think of wedge platforms, my first point of recall is the images of scarring ah-lian footwear – wedge platform foam slippers.*shudders*
Burberry AW09 Suede Wedge Ankle Boots
On contrary however, I’m really digging these suede wedge ankle boots. Understated cool. I’d wear these in a heartbeat!
And if finances permitted (which is so totally NOT going to happen), this is how I’d wear it.
Lusting over 7inches of LOVE.

Do your taste in fashion and music preferences correlate?
I’m not sure if mine do… I love Mr Big, Extreme, Nuno Bettencourt, Steve Vai. These are the people I’ve actually spent money to go to their concerts (okay not Extreme, but let’s just imagine..).
But I cannot do 80’s rock chick.
Nope.
I went for the mind-blowing Mr Big Reunion Tour 2009 at Fort Canning last night, but pretended that it was an indie/hippie music fests (although I would never go for them). I’m a ball of paradoxes, I know.
I wore a solar panel necklace… okay kidding it’s a silver bead and felt bib necklace, raglan jersey tee with a shirt tail, tweed shorts from Zara, Wallabees cut low from Clarks, vintage leather sling bag, and stuff on my wrists. So rojak right?
The entry band looks so cool with the rest of my wrist stuff
Nude suede. Nom nom…
“Lemme hear it from the girls!!!!!!!!”
SCREAM SQUEAL SCREAM WOLF WHISTLE HANDS IN THE AIR MORE MAD SCREAMING.
Was anyone there?
I need more Mr Big!
I’m bursting with leftover excitation (doesn’t it sound more eventful than… excitement?) from Mr Big and something else coming up!!!

I’ve been lazy to blog about fashion month, especially since I haven’t got much to say… Nobody really seems to be on a roll roll, or maybe I haven’t combed through all the collections hehe.
But OMGWTFBBQ!
VIKTOR & ROLF!
Kindly proceed to the kitchen to arm yourselves with a pair of scissors, take the dress to the sewing room, and start sculpting holes into the layered tulle.
When in doubt, turn to a block of cheese.
(Don’t bother about how the lower part holds up, it kind just magically stays in place. Or when all else fails, hurriedly supergloo.)
Will anyone wear this on the red carpet?
The other non-takeover-the-world-tulle pieces were great too, but these deserve special mention, even from a lazy blogger.
My favourite is the super-swing tulle jacket/top/thing on Roisin Murphy when she performed during the show.
1) Can you tell that she’s preggers?
2) How much fun is it swishing that amount of tulle around?
ZARA, please put this into production.

I haven’t really been following Spring/Summer 09 RTW
but by golly! Is Alexander McQueen trying to kill us?! hahas.
These shoes are so weird and intriguing and INSANELY high (therefore near impossible to walk in) and I think are BEEUUTIFUL! (:
I’m quite curious to see how this translates down into more affordable variations. Variations that I might actually be able to afford !
It kinda feels like you are on pointe shoes without really being on pointe. Plus i love the cascading ‘nuts’ (the hardware sort) and embellishments!
I’m sooo tempted to stick random shiny objects to my shoes now. I sound like a crow!!! hahas
If I had a pair, I might just put them on display permanently. On a rotating platform. Spotlights and all. And just spend my day oogling, awe-striken and worshiping. O_O!

Briefly mentioned in my previous post here,
Let me formally introduce you to my notebook-cum-planner-cum-diary-cum-life!
Here are the pages with the New Balance Feral Collection adverts… cut and modified to fit the pages. Doesn’t exactly leave a lot of space for notes but I don’t care. It looks pretty (:
So here is how it starts off…
The notebook has completely blank pages then I measure and mark the corners of the boxes for each day. The boxes are then free-handed… cos rulers are so le-chey (cumbersome).
Days and dates are added accordingly. And depending on what ‘speaks to me‘ from various magazines, I cut them out and add them to the book for variety and colour! (:
Everyone needs a bit of colour in their life.
Every two pages/weeks or so, I insert a “break” and dedicate a bit more space to things that deserve the space. hahas.
And the rest of the space is kept for meetings, assignment due dates, to-do lists, appointments, etc.
You like?
Little, somewhat time-consuming (these things don’t magically cut themselves and become self-adhesive on its own y’knw!) things make me happy. (:
