screen shopping = window shopping thru the computer screen

thats what i think of this morning

i always window shop

but now, i even screen shop... i can never feel bored about seeing different clothes, fashion shows and items which are either affordable and unaffordable.

these are some items i ran into in Uniqlo website;

but it is always only 70% true in their website/lookbook...

seldom buy the stuffs when i reach the real ones in store

cuttings are always old fashioned...

navy is the new kind of blue i felt in love with after electric blue/cobalt blue

easy to match with

the darker navy can even replace black and lower the tone a bit and can be the best friend of camel/beige!

The first time we have the fashion week in Lincole's centre but not Bryant Park

thou, it makes no difference coz we only focus on the clothes! haha!

not many designers presented their work yet

but one thing is noticeable

WHITE is the trend

the above designs come from Wang, Doo Ri and Rag&Bone

all are about white, flowy and nothing is tight or slim!!!

Doo Ri is going so well

I am loving this brand more and more

clean, clear cut and powerful

sth really similar to Chloe / Celine

the corset from Rag&Bone is really eye catching

it makes a great contrast with the lace and chiffon

for Wang

i am still loving his first collection more...

rethink: material and construction

but not in architecture!

wedges are everywhere now

it is kind of a pressure if you dont get a pair, no?

this pair from Helen Furber

such a coincident of the similarity with the one i just posted eariler today

(in terms of the look of the wedge part)

i cant get the construction method by seeing the product

but it is a BA final project, sponsored by Y-3
i cant be a bad project!
ha!

anyway, it looks pretty cool :P

coco avant chanel

2010-06-24T21:44:00.000+08:00

finally finished this awesome film

Audrey Tautou is the only one who suits to play the role

Chanel is such an avant garde lady

you can never succeed without passion and hardworking

the film attempted to show all the Chanel-it-looks

black and white, tweed suits, little black dress, camellia, strips, etc...

every look reminds me how Chanel affected the fashion world..

the shirt is so nice...

the woman who breaks into men's world

my fave look in the film

passion

this re-making of the old Champs-Élysées is wowing, right?

totally french....!

i am going to watch more Chanel films soon! still two awaiting!

it is breathtaking, clearly
