Bring the pastels back for spring!
What I wear does affect my mood. Hence in the grouchy mornings, I make it a point to reach for light colours in the wardrobe even though the blacks and navys are at the top of my mind. Somehow, light colours make my mind feel somewhat less dark and heavy.
I like how zipia brings back the pastels, especially in these two pictures.
Yes I know what you are thinking…. I’m surfing zipia again…..
Remember the Zipia jacket that broke my heart when it went out of stock? It has a cousin from afar.
Let me do the introduction:
Zipia, meet Vanessa Bruno from Paris.
Vanessa, meet Zipia from Korea.
I still have a deep desire to own the Zipia version… See how cute she looks in it. Sigh…..
Just 2 more working days and i will be on my way to the land of smiles, Bangkok!
I have my to-do-things, to-eat food and to-shop-list all done up but most important of all, i am very determined to get a BAG.
A bag that is versatile and can serve as a working bag in the day and clubbing bag at night.
I will very much want something like this ….
that reads ME (boomz!). But the issue is, i can’t afford and will not bring myself to throw in a month’s salary to buy it (spending beyond my limits). Just that day at the salon while waiting for K to get her haircut, i flipped through a copy of CLEO (which i have not read for a million year) and happened to chance upon an article of a ’rich” girl showing off her collections of quirky high-end street wear and i thought this girl is very cool because she was way more couture than what gucci or lv can offer her. What really caught my eyes was, in the article it wrote how she will always save up to buy the bag or shoes that she wants, frugal eventhough rich. She went on further to stress that style cannot be bought by money but how simple pieces can make great outfits. Kudos to this article and it inspired me much.
This trip to Bangkok, i will be in search of the bag that reads ME at a more reasonable price. May the ME bag pops up right infront of me as soon as i reach.
My manly shoe collection is small. I got a pair of black oxfords from tw recently, and a pair of grey loafers from schu a while back. How I wish I could wear shoes like these to work. Then I would have the license to buy more, save me the self-restraint I have to impose on myself.
I only get to put them on on weekends. Makes an outfit looks instantly manly cool. Or at least, makes the person wearing them feel cool.
See how easy it goes with those outfits. I like 
Wow. Love that haversack!
The kind of quality that makes the splurge all worthwhile.

Wear lots and lots of bangles, bracelets, studded leather straps and what have you. And of course your masculine chain watch.
Got this picture from Garance Dore’s blog.
HX, isn’t she the ANTM girl that you told me about? She’s again in a suit.
This was taken in Sep 2008. One year ago.
Hehe. So damn right!
