When I grow up

And when money grows on trees, I will find myself dressed like this. Karen Walker Karen Walker Henrik Vibskov Diana Orving Rachel Comey Rachel Comey Rachel Comey A Detacher I’ve come to realise how chicken I am with trying out new silhouettes. Sometimes I read these interviews with ‘style icons’ and they list things down [...]

Complete with a strap and double buckles on the front. Ahhhhhhh, how perfect is it? Source: flickr.com (user:Allure-Allure)

Onto; headpieces

Currently all i do when i’m on etsy is search for headpieces, favourite them and contemplate on which ones to buy for days on end. But given the large head i inherited from my dad, i’m a wee bit skeptical about the sizing. Which makes me feel boring and unadventurous. So anyway i put together [...]

Nice things

This isn’t quite a Christmas wishlist since I don’t ask for anything for Christmas. I have an aunt who gives terrible presents every year – the unneccesary address book, questionable useless black pouch, random key chain with a letter C? – so i never expect much where presents are concerned, but the food has to [...]

How perfect is this sailor dress? It would be completely perfecto if it fit me, so not so perfect afterall.

Cecilia and her lace dress

Last weekend i found the time to watch The Virgin Suicides. I’m usually more of a print than screen person but the magic about film for me is the wardrobe. When i read the book (many years ago), imagining what the Lisbon sisters would be dressed in never occurred to me. Yeah that was a [...]

Ideally, idealism, ideals

I suspect my senses have been altered by some peculiar, yet-to-be-defined force. For about two weeks now, i haven’t been floored by anything on ebay. The items on my watch-list are there for the sake of. What i do want are things i cannot afford and i dislike that of me right now. I was [...]

Etsy find; muskokavintage

Been awhile since i did one of these – Well muskokavintage has been on my etsy favourites for awhile now, partly cos they take really good photos of their clothes. It’s like the moment they step out of their houses, they’re greeted by the sea or fields of nothingness. I would kill for that, frankly. [...]

Etsy finds; head gear

It is quite clear that i’m hardly an accessory person, i did my time when i was younger and fell out of it soon after. But i enjoy them on people, it sure as hell takes a certain kind of effort to rake them in, mix & match and take them off. You gotta admit [...]

Inspiration; Little Girl Dresses

One of my favourite styles to wear is what i term, the ‘Little Girl’s Dress’. I will always search high and low for them on ebay but most of the time, i cannot squeeze my body into actual little girl dresses. Sometimes i wish i could venture out of dressing ‘cute’ but i’ve been this [...]
