the first time i want to have online shopping...

saw these boots in pixie market
i had an impulse to shop online
but just "want", ha!
coz i have no money at the moment...

these boots are so tailored and detailed...
loving many items from pixie market!











i tried on a pair of chloe-like boots before
but it is totally not matchy with me.... uuuhhh..
poor...

santa claus is coming to town

currently listening to this
feel so warm with the christmas sound
the jingle bells in the tracks!


project runway finale

finally finish this season after my school work
(the following contains the result!)
honestly speaking,
i am not fond of this season
no one is really stunning and has a cool style
there is no stefino, no daniel, no christian, no leanne this season!

so finally irina won as expected
i like the way she presents, esp. with the various hats
black is not a problem i think so i do not agree with nina gacia
i think irina and carol hannah should mix a bit, ha!
one is too incoherent, and one lacks colour!

irina and althea just got similar taste
and irina is too mean and egoistic to think althea copies her..

some of my fave pieces

carol hannah's cape


everyone likes this right?
but too V&R after all


althea's
i always like the mixing of contrasting textures


irina's
i like weaving


i can only say COOL!


hope we can have a better season 7!

not that glowing as Oscar

saw the gowns in taiwan oscar, Golden Horse Award, today in news
really not that wow
and even boring
just can't compare it with the oscar. ha

everyone pays safe
b&w gowns are all over there
how boring!!!!

some comments below
a taiwan actress
the Lavin dress is quite nice
but she is with the wrong shoes...
i would pick up sharp colours or gold instead


another actress
i would tie up the hair
as the dress has drape


Maggie Cheng
as chic as usual!
i really like the belt, so fierce!
but she should take off one bangle, maybe the white
and tie off the sleeve
coz i think the sleeve and the belt are fighting each other
(although the asymmetric idea is quite cool)


Shu Qi
what is that on the hair?
the necklace position is so odd
i would replace with something bold
(it is Cartier and worth 7 million USD! how dare you say so! haha!!)


Li Bing Bing
she is the winner of the lead actress
Valentino
ya, boring


this one is definitely my fave!
it suits the age of Kwai Lun Mei
accessories are matchy too 


Annie Liu
So old she dressed
shoes are wrong too


Lynn is the only one with sharp colour!
she can't do wrong with the perfect body
but the cutting of the gown makes her waist looks very long...


any comments?

funny name - chochukmo

finally something indie in hk!!
(ya, i m anti-cantonpop person!)

an indie band named chochukmo conquered my mind lately
they rock!!
i m not a hardcore rock/punk gal, ya, i cant hold on to the noise
(that's why i have a sex pistol disc laying on my cd rack with dust..)
but i like those music with guitar and rhythm
kinda like between acoustic and rock, ya, i don't know how to describe that, ha

just check this band out
you will like it!

winter = fur and hotpot

put on my faux fur once the temperature has dropped aaaa little, ha!
this is my first time to wear a thick vest in winter
and it feels sooooo strange!
my body is getting warm and even hot
but my four limbs are cold and feeling the chilling breeze from the surroundings.
but you have to pay off to look better right? ha!

my friend and i shared a hotpot
yea, my fav., thou it is in a fast food shop
i still like hotpot more in winter while hotpot is all season cuisine in hk..

very delicious milk soup for hotpot!

chinese tradition goes international, lol

the difference between hong kong people and mainland chinese is that
we, the hong konger, won't squat on street
but the mainlander does
whenever they are waiting for bus, eating, resting, and pooing

i saw these pics from jak&jil
and i was totally shocked that
elegant models do so
i am losing my appetite..

Grace rules!!

Grace is adored by many of us after "the september issue"
she is on screen again for vogue online video, "the art issue"
making of of the december issue of vogue

she is so great in making different scenario
esp liking her way to treat life moment into an elegant scene
with Lady Gaga and Cate Blanchett in the video
one shows her seriousness towards shooting and one shows her gracefulness
i really love vogue!

simple is elegant

some perfume
which i think is very simple yet elegant
and
architectural

Dsquared2 - wood



house of steel and wood - berlinda tato&jose luis vallejo - austria


issey miyake - a scent
the first time i see a design using the thickness to vary the volume,
how genius!


perter zumthor - art museum bregenz, austria


alexa lixfeld from hamburg  - fragrance

le corbusier - unite d'habitation - marseille


i do like collecting perfume, esp for the pretty bottles :D
issey miyake's one is in my wish list now, but it is way over budget..

i recall my perfume's criteria for purchase
scent 50%  bottle 30%  brand 10%  shopping impulse 10%
thats why i haven't buy the ck2u which i think the scent is very special to me
its bottle is way too ugly...........
thats why i think anna sui is very ridiculous in producing a few fragrance with the same bottle deisgn but of different colours, ugggg, even the scents are similar!!

Awesome gaga!!

lady gaga has her new mv spreading through the internet
not particularly for the music, but styling!!



13 looks in total
(as if i counted correctly)
everyone is talking about the total exact look as the finale look of mcqueen ss 2010
and walkable in the huge shoes, blah blah blah
i m attracted to her black lingerie look with the black mcqueen platform shoes
with the crystal light and freeze shoot
oh, so elegant!!

the video is really truly incredible!
worth watching and watching
and
it is a great chance to see the light makeup of lady gaga!
close up only with some shimmer eye shadow!!

i think mcqueen gets a good promotion in reward by sponsoring gaga! haha!!

after the presentation, which was heavily crit by the critics..
i was into a very down mood
and really need sth to get me out of the fxxking architecture world

so i went to the diy paradise (sham shui po in hong kong) again
to buy some materials back

the first one i did is a tee modification with shoulder piece
(yep to join this season's battle!)






(2nd hand man's tee + 2nd hand should pad taken out + beads)

the second one is ring again!
i am a total ring obsession
LITERALLY I DIE for rings! they r crazy B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
this rose ring is the largest ring i have ever made :P
so extravagant, haha!!
i don't know when i will wear it out, not for sch definitely, ha!
