confessions of a shopaholic

yaii, this novel was among my very first chicklit.

i like the rebecca bloomwood character..

her spontaneity, intellegence (in quite unconventional way) and her laid-back personality.

and the good thing is that this novel is gonna be filmed.

the film will be released on february 09.

and, the great thing is that patricia field would take charge as the fashion stylist of this film.

(fyi, fatricia field is also the stylist for Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada *goshhh i love those films much*)

i hope confessions of a shopaholic won't let my expectation down.

can't wait to watch this film with my girls:):)

after sneeking-a-peek through the images of the film making, i am a bit of overwhelmed.

becky's (rebecca bloomwood's) style is way tooo girly. hiks:'(

but anyway, i'll definitely watch this upcoming movie:)

project runway: leanne marshall

hurraaayyy (ala south park), my fave finalist won the project runway!

love her soft-spoken tone. love her detailed details

haha, bold in such subtle way

here are some of my fave looks .

the colour pallette is sweet without being over feminine.

anyway, i love all of the shirts and tops she wore during the whole season.

i guess some extra accessories would do it better.

oh, and about the wedding gown as the ending mark of her show?

love it. architecture meets fashion.

thou i love carrie's wedding gown by viviene westwood better hoho:)

lanvin s/s 09

goshh, althou the collections are a bit too gloomy for spring...

i just love lanvin's s/s 09..

i certainly am in confusion in choosing my top 4 looks..

1st and 2nd look

1st: the colour is striking and the volume is just balanced

2nd look: the waist line, the drapery, the hem line and cutting of the pants. love love

3rd and 4th look:

3rd look: aha, this look must be inspired by two-faces from the dark knight movie.. i love the interpretation of the alter-ego thing:)

4th look: so impeccable and alluring. the volume is proportional and the colour pallette compliments one to another colour

when i grow up

pheww, these days are sooo hectic due to deadlines in this subject and that subject.

2 presentations in a row: int'l biz and int'l finance.

look at the bright side:

work hard --> good grade --> great career position --> a step closer to my dreamy bag(s)

1. Chanel 2.55

no explanation needed. i heart heart heart this bag much.

if i could only buy a designer bag, 2.55 will definitely be on my top row

2. LV Epi Leather Alma

Classy, simple, and opulent. This bag would accompany me through the working days..

First day at new working space, meet the clients, career promotion, etc etc..

... ok, that's about my dreamy bags. what about you???

well-structured

lehman bankruptcy and the domino effect of the financial distress might be the result of the poor governance of the financial institutions itself (and the government)

risk management are just not well managed;
the capital market is going into very complicated structure with its derivative transactions,;

for some people, financial left future as uncertain and dark.
as fashion reflects socio economic conditions, so does some collections for 2009

they:
1. come with soo risk-averse colours (read: black and its gradation)
2. are well-structured, well-tailored, emphasizes on its simple yet powerful structure















clockwise: burberry prorsum '09 coll; pauleka '08 coll; N/A; pauleka '08 coll

fabulous finding

i saw this bag at forever21.com

i love it. I LOVE IT. love at 1st sight. *sighh.*

usually, i just found out that the price is ridiculous.

guess what?

the price tag says:

"this adorable bag will only damage your bank account for only amount of $19.80"

and i was like.. HOLD on.

sounds too good to be true...

i double-checked it.

but yes IT IS.

then the next objective is to find the way to bring that bag from US.

hahaha
