As always, I don't pay much attention on Louis Vuitton clothing; my eyes were on the accessories they were presenting.

Several websites have gone dark (or partially) to protest The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which if pass as the bill, it would expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. The proponents say it would help protect the copyright infringement; the opponents say it's the internet censorship. Which side are you on ???

2011-09-17T13:16:00.000-07:00

Four big reflections:

1. Dont worry about people in the past, there is a reason why they are not in your present and wont reach your future either.

2. A real person is not perfect, a perfect person is not real.

3. A person changes for two reasons: learnt too much or suffered enough.

4. Dont depend on anyone in this world, because even your own shadow leaves you upon darkness.

A Rare Luggage

I was wandering around Union Square today due to the nice weather and boredom and, of course, I went into Barney's to check out Celine luggage bag that I wish for. There are only two bags available in the store which are in mini size in black and medium size in beige. I was surprise that mini size suit me better than medium but I don't really like the color. The SA told me there will be more colors (tri-color) coming in next month but the wait-list is very long because they started taking the name since March. I guess I need to make up my mind soon and start putting my name down on the list if I really want this bag...

After John Galliano was fired from Dior in March from anti-Semitic comments he made, it seems difficult to find the successor. A lot of names have been mentioned such as Riccardo Tisci, Nicholas Ghesquiere, Alber Elbaz, Haider Ackermann, Sarah Burton and now is Marc Jacobs. The whole situation made me wonder whether they couldn't really find anyone suit for the job or they're just waiting for the right timing to bring Galliano back ???

I know I can do it but it's a little exhausting.

One hope then another

Who knows where this road may go?

things my heart still needs to know

Yes, let this be a sign

Let this road be mine

Let it lead me to my past

2011-07-28T18:30:00.001-07:00

Balmain is releasing a second and more affordable line called "Pierre Balmain" but it won't be available until December. This line will be created by a separate design team from Olivier Rousteing, who is the successor of the high-end "Balmain" label. From these three looks I think they're hideous... They look like some cheap clothes from Target or Walmart. Personally, I think Balmain should be focusing on its main line which who knows where the future is going to be after the departure of Christophe Decarnin. I'd rather buy some 'inspired' version from Zara than from this defused line.
