rager face

This post is living proof that

a. i suck at putting on lipstick.
b. im bored
c. you can buy sick masks in the 3rd world for half a dollar
d. i need a haircut
e. camera flash makes your skin look 10x more amazing
f. im too hyped about the "daisy lowe with the mask look" for my own good.

Off topic, I went shopping today.
Which is like a bi-annual thing because I'm always broke and my mom is always complaining about closet space and how I cut up things (some of ) the clothes she buys for me.

Now I guess you just had a lightbulb moment as to why this isn't really a full on fashion blog.
Tragic, non?
Anyway. My feet are dead from all the walking. I need to hit the sack.

EDUCATE.YOURSELF.

cred:modelcouture

I have a stiffneck.
Actually, I suffer from back/neck problems every few months or so. weird. Maybe I'll end up like Quasimodo in a few years. sheesh. can't wait.

Anyway. I'm off any physical activities today...so, I'm doing what my mum always tells me to do, "educate yourself."

owkey. So I'm gonna spend the day in bed.
With a hot compress against my neck.
With colorful pills in my mouth.
And with my eyes glued on Norwegian Wood by Murakami.

Pretty good book.

My favorite line:
"...but don't ever tell another woman that you find her wrinkles attractive."

Ha. Ha. Ha.

No...I changed my mind. Since I'm a sappy person, I prefer this one,

"How much do you love me?" Midori asked.
"Enough to melt all the tigers in the world to butter," I said.

:]

BUTT.MAN.

i fell inlove with this Luella Bartley shirt from her Spring/summer 08 rtw collection. But there is absolutely no way for me to get it...unless I decide to sell one of my kidneys, but then again, I'm rather attached to my body organs.
SO I attempted a DIY instead. It looks funny but I'm perfectly happy with it.


oh. and say "hi" to my ladybug friends.
They're the bane of my existence.

IN.HEAT.

willa holland and taylor momsen.

From one of my fave episodes of GG. I actually freaked out and went all crazy on my roomie coz I thought its so amazing that they got these "Model-dates-photographer" cliches from real life.
I know that has been going on for...forever.

Ex: markthecobrasnake+corey kennedy
jen brill + terry richardson

blah.blah.blah. but still. I think its cool. And another (+) is the fact that they managed to drag Leigh Lezark in one of the episodes. (clue: jenny's birthdayparty).

Okei. sorry for the hype. I've been watching re-runs the whole day coz it's summer break and I got nothing better to do...other than watch my face melt in the heat.

PARIS.INCARNATE.

cred: Louise Ebel by Altamira, teenvogue

If I recieved a ticket to Paris today to a plane that will be leaving in 60 minutes, I wonder what I will shove into my luggage?
Taking my cue from Louise Ebel of Pandora, the epitome of Parisian chic...
ill probably grab:

-the nearest pair of black HIGH heels
-my biggest clutch
-one million hairpins and elastics for that "milkmaid hairdo"
-tights,stockings,leggings.
-minidresses--->no loud colors for me.
-a really cool jacket.

et voila.
I'm ready to shout at the sartorialist, "shoote me".

STARBURST.BRATWURST.

I love JESUS.
Why? because I was bored out of my wits today so I decided to do some shopping in my parent's closet. and look what i found!! 1 Liter of shampoo.
Hahaha. Im laughing at my lameness.

It said "smooth operator" for silky straight hair. That's like the polar opposite of my hair status at the moment. I have the worst case of permanent bed head as you can see.
Maybe it's a sign for a change of hair? I've been pretty confused for a while.
This mop i now have was a result of impluse + poor skills of a gay hairstylist.

At first I was deadset on chopping it off after a few weeks and having it straightened. But what can I say, it grew on me. Too much Corey Kennedy?

In summary:
I love JESUS.

THE.GREAT.DEBATE.

chucks taylors???

creepers?

cred: fashiontoast, google

In a few weeks, I'll be needing white shoes for my new uniform. IF I pass the interview and applications, that is. And I am stumped between chucks or creepers. When I asked M, he flashed me his "WTF" look. He was very very very partial to the chucks.
But then we went to Bonifacio Highstreet and checked out *THEODORE's and they had this hardbound version of *Fruits there. And you know how creeper-philic Japanese people are. I showed it to M and he did a 180.

As sick as I think creepers are though, I think I'll be sticking to chucks. Why? because I'm still an ebay virgin. hahaha. and because I think I need short skirts to pull the creepers off.

And I'm not a fan of the "short skirt uniform" look that much, unless its for a costume party...and im going as Britney. Because then my classmates might think im a total bimbo and that i'm trying to hit on my teacher by flashing my knickers.

Okei. maybe not the last part. hehehe.

*Fruits- Japanese street style magazine
*Theodore's- amazing shop at Highstreet. Check it out. ^^

I loved this editorial the first time I saw it. I'm simply dumbfounded that asians can do grunge this well. I guess I'm just used to the "kawai" stereotype when it comes to asians.
I swear, we do Hello Kitty seriously here. Not a problem for me, but its nice to see a change. no?

And the b/w photography + ann D. laceups (i think) in the 4th pic= YES PLEASE.
