" Memories, light the corners of my mind

Misty watercolor memories of the way we were. "

Nostalgia

Today is the last day of my then-boyfriend-now-goodfriend's trip in Thailand. I'll make the most out of this day and try not to be sad. I miss San Francisco a lot and meeting him bring back the memory of the city and people I love. I have my reason why I'm still in Bangkok - for my career and my future. I believe in destiny but I also believe in creating your own life - it's like a ship that waits for the wind to blow and adjusts the sail according to the wind. I can't wait to see what the destiny has in store for me...

ZARA, I'm Coming...

Need to go to ZARA now...

Magic Slipper

Do you remember this $7,450 Balenciaga color block sandal? Here come its sister...  This Nicholas Kirkwood futuristic-looking platform sandal fully embroidered with gold-hued metal thread, inspired by a Moroccan slipper, costs just $7,000... 

Paris Round Up

I've been too busy to comment on each show from Paris Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Week. So, here are what I'd like to sum up of...

The Good

Celine - Can't have enough of Celine, needless to say more

Hermès - Christophe Lemaire shows us the reason why he was chosen as creative director.

The Bad

Balmain - Christophe Decarnin, please give us something new. This collection looks like a left over of the previous collection which looked like the left over from the collection before that.

The Ugly

Louis Vuitton - For the second season in a row, MJ delivered something that very very strange, and not in avant-garde way...

Same Script Different Casts

I found it's funny that these two editorials by Matthias Vriens-McGrath look very similar, just changed the models. 

Above: From Stern magazine features Fernanda Tavares, Rodrigo Calazan, Maikel Castro, Lucas Arantes, Samuel Vieira and Diogo Rodrigues. Below: From S magazine features Sean Sullivan, Duke Dlouhy, Joel Rush, Greg Plitt, Steve Boyd and Ana Catharina. 

My Wish List...

As soon as I saw this new iPad, my heart sank to the floor and I know he will be mine. It was love at first sight...

The Last Galliano's

Who would have thought this would be the last collection of Dior by John Galliano? I'm not sure it's a coincidence or not that this collection seems dull to me. The whole situation that happened to Mr. Galliano brought up the discussion between people who support him and people who are against him. I, personally, don't like to judge anyone until I know the whole truth. But if he needs help, please do so...because we don't want to lose a 'genius' from the world of fashion. SOURCE

Pad Me

I was once joke around that I love designers' iPad cases so much, so I would buy just the case and put a 'notepad' in it. And when I look at these prices, I think I wouldn't bother buying the iPad (which starts at $499 for 16GB). SOURCE

$390 - Louis Vuitton

$660 - Dior Homme

$230 - Gucci

$545 - Tod's

$790 - Hermès

$740 - Valextra

I Love MJ

Out of all the show for Fall 2011 collections at New York Fashion Week, I love the collection of Marc Jacobs the most. And I don't dare to judge the creativity of Mr. Jacob, many items in his collection remind me of past collection of other designers. I'm just saying...

Do You Know?

What would you call these shoes that look like the combination of wing-tips + espadrilles + trainers ? (I think in the top two pictures were from PRADA and the last one I'm not sure.)

Season of Colors

Chris vs. Chris

Just curiosity, if Thor and Captain America got on a fight, who would win ??? The battle of hotness between Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans.

Lea T on Oprah

Model and Givenchy's Muse - Lea T. sat down with Oprah for an interview. Now I know why Ricardo Tisci chose her as a muse of Gevenchy... She's Gorgeous !!! SOURCE

Gaga @ Grammy

It's no surprise that Lady Gaga wore 3 outfits of Mugler (by Nicola Formichetti) at the 2011 Grammy awards. They're not out-of-this-world outfits like the meat dress, just alien-ish...

Separated at Birth

The Simpsons' Sideshow Bob and Rihanna.

Quote of the Day

" Why do people tend to think being single = unhappy ???

I think people who think so doesn't know how to love themselves properly... "

ZARA Celine

The moment I've been waiting for, ZARA's interpretation of Celine. Here are the comparison side-by-side of ZARA new collection, modeled by Stella Tennant, and Celine Spring 2011 collection.

I'm Obsessed

Lately I've been obsessed with PRADA fur stole from S/S 2011 collection. I lust after since I saw them on the runway; and even more when I spot these fur stoles on ADR and MJ... But still, when will I have a chance to use it (if I do get it) ? I live in Bangkok, where the average temperature is 35 degree Celsius. Just hypothetical, which color should I get?
