Mañana nuevo mes, un mes que significa muchas cosas para mi: se acaban las clases (por fin!), comienzan las vacaciones de verano, cumplo años (el dia 12), y me voy de vacaciones. Que bonito es todo jajaj pero para todo esto habrá que esperar. De momento os dejo con unas fotos que me encantan de la campaña de Twenty Seven Names, 4 Looks para el verano y el calendario de Junio =)

Wildcard

I decided to stay in to pack my apartment but in the end I couldn't resist the Scottish Summer.
It was 24 degrees today (UNREAL) so I had to go out!

Anyway, this is what I wore to Tesco.
Errmm, not too sure about the skirt.

I'm such a fashion failure in summer.

top: maryjane (from singapore), skirt: la petite francaise, belt: vintage, shoes: zara, bag: chanel

What I'm Wearing 29.05.09

I haven't taken any steps to solve my technical issue yet. Part of me calls the other part lazy, but the other part was happy that she got to spend some time with friends this week since I can't get a hold of any of them during the school year. Still, I feel a bit frustrated not being able to update as often. Today I finally backed up my files and I'll start seeing what I can do with my wireless connection tomorrow if I have some free time. In the meantime, here is what I'll be wearing out tonight to meet with friends for a night on the town. The varying earthy tones remind me a bit of Chloe, which isn't my usual look but sometimes I enjoy a softer girly look too. This is also the first time I wore a ponytail (outside of fencing class) in probably years. Somehow at the tender age of 19 I seem to believe that I look too old for ponytails.



I'm wearing two Urban Behaviour tanks, a thrifted skirt, belt and bag, and Aldo shoes.

My apologies for the over-sharpened photo!

Nooooooo!

From news.yahoo.com:

France's US-owned couture house Christian Lacroix SNC has declared insolvency after falling foul of the global crisis, the company said Thursday.

Arguably one of the most exuberant couturiers in Paris, Christian Lacroix SNC said in a statement that the company owned by Falic had declared insolvency before a Paris court due to "the sharp downturn of the luxury market."

The company said it "has filed a voluntary petition with the Tribunal de Commerce de Paris to put itself under the protection of the courts" but intends "to present a continuation plan" and "intends to maintain its business operations throughout the proceedings."

Declaring insolvency is a first step towards bankruptcy protection.

After being bought by the US firm from luxury group LVMH in early 2005, the company launched "an ambitious and costly restructuring plan to reposition the brand offering to higher end collections," terminating ready-to-wear lines and opening two stores in the United States, one in Las Vegas, one in New York.

"Unfortunately, this longterm strategy for repositioning of the brand was dramatically hindered by the current and ongoing world financial and economic crisis which severely hit the luxury sector," the company said.

Christian Lacroix still remains one of my favourite established fashion houses and news of its insolvency greatly saddens me. At the same time, as a commerce student, I can't help but me fascinated by this whole process. Topics like restructuring and brand repositioning fit in perfectly with the courses I will be taking next year. What a terrible case of bad timing! Maybe if the execs at LVMH studied the Austrian business cycle theory instead of following those darn Keynesians, they would have been better prepared... Just sayin`.

Bling on my Eye

Quick update:

1) I'm finally done with exams and in less than 3 weeks I'll be back in Asia! :D

2)The summer holiday officially started with post-exam celebratory drinks at the Dome with Issey and Sarah followed by aimless wandering around Princes Street.

The Dome in George Street
The Chinese Room
The heavenly ladies roomThe washrooms are unreal! It has been reported by Edinburgh News that a recent upgrade on the ladies and men's rooms set the Dome back 6 figures in BRITISH POUNDS(at least 10 million pesos) . Boscolo, a bathroom specialist, was commissioned to carry out the luxury refit. The toilet features a crystal chandelier and each cubicle has its own individual etched Venetian mirror. That is, in addition to the 3 in front of the wash basins. The walls, on the other hand, are covered with embroidered silk that extend to the window curtains.
*sigh, I can only wish that my future house will be half as sushal as this baño.

3) Currently obsessed with these 'strass' sunglasses I got from Primark a week ago when Sarah and I went to Glasgow. I know they're a tad tawdry but that's kinda why I love them

close-up of the sunglasses and my belt set against my Bal

top: religioso, checkered skirt: thrifted, jeweled leather belt: oasis, sunglasses: primark, bag: balenciaga, necklaces from Japan and Greenhills, shoes: not in picture because i just scrubbed my floor and I want to keep it as germ free for as long as i possibly can

What I'm Wearing 22.05.09

I haven't made an outfit post in ages! I've basically been living in a variation of skinnies paired with grey, navy, black and beige for the past couple of weeks. Nothing worth posting really. Today it's nice and warm out so I'm finally breaking out my leather skirt. You'd think it would be an ideal item to wear when it's colder, but I've never found a warm enough jacket that balances the fullness of the skirt. I like to wear it during the month-long open window I may get in late spring or late summer, when it isn't too hot or too cold outside.





I broke the outfit into two looks, one for this afternoon and the other to wear out tonight. I'm wearing an Urban Behaviour tank top, vintage skirt and Aldo shoes in the first photo, and the same items but with a Zara dress worn as a top in the second photo. I'm planning to go thrifting in a bit. Hopefully I can find a good jacket to pair directly with the skirt!

Pelican Avenue Fall 09

I think technology and I need a divorce. Or at least some time apart, so we can maybe figure out where we are in our lives, because I think technology needs to get its priorities straight. Case in point, last night the wireless network on my laptop just disappeared. POOF! Just like that. Gone. I've googled the problem already and found out that I'm not the only one this has happened to. Thank you malware for making my day harder than it has to be! Unfortunately I'm not much of a techie so following directions on a forum just isn't working out. So now I'm blogging with two laptops in front of me. One doesn't have internet and the other doesn't have photo editing software. Brilliant. But anyways, let me refocus on the purpose of this post, the wonderfully colourful Pelican Avenue fall 09 collection.

Pelican Avenue is the brainchild of Carolin Lerch, a graduate from the Antwerp Academy of Fashion and former assistant of Bernhard Willhelm. The label is intended to propose a different approach to fashion, to oppose constantly changing trends yet avoid stagnation and complacency. The collections are represented through different types of media including photography, live installations, performances and video. I definitely recommend a visit to their website, where the collections are broken up and displayed as themed projects, most with a fantastic accompanying video.

Although their intention is to avoid trends, I can't help but point out that the nomad looks in this collection are rather similar to work by the likes of Damir Doma and Rozalb de Mura. The "avante-garde" group it seems, still has it's own microcosm of recurring trends and themes, but they do seem to have more staying power and enjoy a longer time span before saturation. I'd still wear every piece and treasure them forever!

How to Make the Fur Fly

I've been falling a bit behind on blogging lately, so please bear with me while I catch up and respond to new comments and e-mails tonight! I haven't even turned on the computer in the past three or so days which is unheard of, for me. But I finally had the time to do some reading and see the new Star Trek movie! They could've toned down the special effects overload, but I did enjoy the many comedic pauses. Are there any fans here reading the blog?

Anyways, here are a few shots from one of my favourite vintage Helmut Newton editorials from the December 1967 issue of British Vogue. Flying furs aside, I love the suspended action in these photos. I am especially fond of the last two which are just epic and definitely not fashion pretty.

Fashion magazines would have to be my main inspiration for how I pull together my outfits, i love the editorial shoots I always pick up good ideas on how to wear clothes in a unique way.
