Hitting 100!

Hitting 100!

Friends,

My sincerest apologies being away too often and for long periods of time but that doesn't mean that my thoughts aren't with you. I think of all of you all the time. Most especially the people who stuck with me and this baby ever since it was born.

Now I just reached 100 subscribers and I feel more than happy to let the whole netizens know about this simple joy. As a blogger it is truly rewarding to see people follow you and your trail of thoughts (we are all born attention whores, deal with it.) and to see them be consistent with it. This truly calls for a celebration. The vintage sort.

 Call it a birthday party if you like. Today is where I also celebrate my blog's 4th birthday. Whoopie! So, tell me, how do we celebrate birthdays and subscription goals in one?

A vintage caravan perhaps?

You know, just us girls.

Cheers!

Tickling My Funny Bones

Saw this online and I was laughing like crazy. Of all the juicy things I have seen shared by the netizens, this one takes the cake. I just love how hilarious the video is. Ladies?

Kudos to Watt White for this fabulous video. Truly, we all want to be a fashion blogger!

Well?

Tell me whatchathink?!

Cheers!

Rushing August by fashiondoohickey featuring cross body handbags

A little touch of  inspiration here in the South. Yes it's still sunny and I am going to enjoy every single bit of sunlight I can get before the season for heavy fashionable clothes will come knocking in our doorsteps. What are your tiny little specs of fashion inspiration before August rush?

Well?

Tell me whatchathink?

Cheers!

RIP Anna Piaggi

RIP Anna Piaggi

This really came as a shocker. I was so shocked to have discovered that the fabulous and iconic Anna Piaggi has passed away last August 7, 2012. Yeah, I'm probably 6 days late but I still want to pay her my respects.

I have adored Anna Piaggi ever since I can remember. When I was a teen, I was so flustered with what to wear and in knowing if I was doing it right. Then I discovered her. It was then I realized that what I wear doesn't really matter. It's how I wear it. I had a very artistic soul and I always wanted to represent myself as someone who is artistically into fashion.

When I had a bad day, fashion was my escape, and ogling on Anna Piaggi for countless hours and stalking her every move was kind of a therapy for me. God bless her soul. She was more of an inspiration really. To me she was a symbol of hope. She is one of the reasons why to this day, I still am holding on to the excitement of clothes and fashion in general.

I don't really know how to describe it bluntly but Anna Piaggi for me is the epitome of the beauty of fashion. I liken Anna Piaggi to that one proverbial moment on 'The Devil Wears Prada' where Andy weeps to Nigel and he tells her a story about Runway Magazine. Yeah, something like that.

You know what makes me even sadder? It's knowing that I would never EVER get the chance to meet her in person EVER again. Would really suck to not see her and the things she would put on together. I don't believe that the things she does is for show, I believe it's more that that. Maybe that's why I connect with Anna so much, because I know that she is  not a one trick pony. That she does have something in her, something artistically alluring that would allow generations up on generations to put her in their list of style icons. Anna Piaggi, you will be missed! May you rejoice with the other fashion icons up above.

Anna Piaggi (22 March 1931 – 7 August 2012)

Ash Stymest Why Did You Let Yourself Go?

Ash Stymest Why Did You Let Yourself Go?

Model or Dad Gene? You decide.

I dunno what happened but Ash Stymest gained a lot of weight over the last few months. Does carrying for your baby really make you gain that much weight? Or is this the inevitable sign of unemployment? Is he taking a breaky break or is he retiring for good like he said he said he would.

He either needs to gain weight and buff up or lose weight like he used to weigh before. Oh Ash, what has the world become to? I'd still marry you in a heartbeat though. Ha.

Ash Stymest is currently represented by Soul Artist Management. 

Well?

Do you think Ash's sudden weight gain will affect his career? Do you still love him like a love song? scratch that.

Tell me whatchathink?!

Cheers!

I dunno if it's the styling or the photographer or Ash, but something about these photos are a bit off for me. Don't get me wrong, I still love ash regardless of the situation he chose to put himself into. I can't quite put my finger in it. Okay that just sounded strange. Ha. Ladies and fembots, feast your eyes on 'The One And Only' concept shoot featuring Ash Stymest and photographed by John Tan.

Is it just me or are you one with me or do we share the same thought?  By the way, this is Ash's first photo shoot after having transfered to Soul Artists Management. Clothes are from Topman.

Well?

Tell me Whatchathink?!

Cheers!

Ash Stymest and Agyness Deyn for Dr. Martens 2012 Spring/Summer Ad Campaign

Ash Stymest and Agyness Deyn for Dr. Martens 2012 Spring/Summer Ad Campaign

I thought that his marriage would be the end of his modeling career. I can be wrong. I still find myself falling in love with Ash Stymest over again despite the fact that he is already married and he has a child. God, no wonder the sudden rise of infidel people are blowing like pancakes on crack noh?. Shall we?

Anyway, I don't care if it took me forever to post this. I still am going to post this. Ha.

Ladies and fembots, feast your eyes on Dr. Martens' Spring / Summer 2012 Ad Campaign featuring Ash Stymest and the lovely I wish they got married for real, they could have been an awesome couple Agyness Deyn entitled First Love. #FirstAndForever

Don't the both of them look absolutely adorable? I am a huge fan of Agyness Deyn as well. I am in love with her fashion sense. She actually is one of the trendiest models I know. Also, it surprises to know that the city miles on Agyness' face is nowhere to be found. She still looks like she is in her early twenties. Ash, also looks delish in these photos. I don't really have anything negative to say to the both of em. This is a really good Ad Campaign by Dr. Martens. Kudos!

Well? Don't you just love Ash and Aggy together? Don't they look good together? Noh? I thought so too.

Well?

Tell me whatchathink?!

Cheers!

A drop/change in taste? I'm not quite sure.

A drop/change in taste? I'm not quite sure yet. More of having a moment maybe.

I consider myself the last fembot that adores drag, blue eyeshadows, and all things "shinning, shimmering, splendid" and I cannot seem to transcend from Manolo's to H&M. Not yet, I think. I dunno, maybe it's because of my huge love for Jimmy James, or glittery sequin undergarments I have sewn quite a few years back, perhaps it's my uncanny affinity for public transport (yes, till now I am still saving up for a car, which by the way, is way waaay above my pay grade), or maybe it's the rain. 

Time Check: 3:18 AM

Can't really go back to sleep. Slept at around 8 PM and woke up at 1 AM. I tried reading myself to sleep but after 2 books and 5 chapters later I decided to put it down, the book catches my fancy and it grows on me too fast. It's too awesome and I do not limit time when I read. I might probably end up awake at 7. A big 'No-No' can't risk sleeping the whole waking day. (By the way, I recommend reading this book, if you have a childlike sense of wonder that is.)

My sleeping cycle has changed drastically. I now normally sleep early in the morning and end up waking late in the afternoon. Yes I will surely miss the sun. What I don't get about it is me feeling depressed after more than 8 hours of sleep. Why-o-why? Is it just me or is something whipping up in the storm?

Or maybe I'm just having one of those days too often. Noh? How I got myself into this? I have absolutely no clue. In fact, I'm not really sure why I am ranting here. I just feel like saying random things though. By the way, was talking about fashion earlier and my sinister nonchalance lead me to this. It's Lanvin's Spring 2013 collection and I am immediately floored. (at least I feel something)

A lot of pretty interesting designs in this collection. I must say, I love it. Beginning to see the loose pants in the runways. My style definitely. I am kinda eyeing on the footwear of the models here though. Does anyone know what they are? Been meaning to find one of those.

Well?

Tell me whatchathink?!

Cheers!
