Bianca’s launch party for their new collection is happening on 1 November! So you readers get to go to the special preview if you rsvp by 27 October. Email bianca@mycouture.sg with the subject ‘Blogger/Reader Preview – I’m Going to Party!’ and indicate you read the news here. I’ll be there! Maybe even cycle there.
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 baggy-jean-wearing-Melly with track shoes. Well i was particularly charmed by Cecilia in the film, pretty ironic cos i was attracted to Lux’s character in the book. I’m blaming her lace dress because that’s all i can think about since that night. That’s all i search for on ebay. There’s no way i can pull off her innocence so i’m not even gonna try but this girl’s going into my book of girls – Wednesday Addams, Gwen Stefani (her No Doubt days), Claire Danes in R+J and so on…
If you’ve been like “whuut?’ during the whole chunk above, sorry!, here are some stills from the film. It’s all of Cecilia and her dress. I love it, i love how she wears it all the time and it’s grannyish but with some urg-yeah grunge rebellion thing going on. I don’t know, her boredom with life must give her more attitude.
I also put these together, some pieces to recreate Cecilia’s look.
1, 2, 4, 5 – i cant seem to find the cape on topshop.com but it’s selling for $99 if anyone’s asking.
Pretend it’s about an hour earlier and i would tell you i just got back from cycling to town. The ride was tricky, switching lanes from left to right and right to left. And then we cycled home after a pint of beer – not a brilliant idea at all! I completely rammed into something and the Caucasian man next to me was very kind to laugh it off and told me to be careful. I’m don’t usually get so floaty after a pint but i don’t know what caused it, i always get very thrilled when we go cycling so maybe. Maybe, the two highs clashed.
My cat says hello! Also i think i’ll be posting quite a bit next week, so look forward!
Last Sunday i had brunch with my girlfriends and one of them, Melanie, was rocking her high-waisted shorts. So you know the deal, when you see another human in real life making it work, there’s a slight possibility it’ll work on you too right. (So this is for you Mel! For making me have the guts to tuck my top into my shorts and walk around as Bennyho calls me Daffy Duck from behind.) I got some stares here and there but so long as they stay comfy, i’m not trading it for anything.
Top: Lipstick Bandit (now defunct)
Shorts: vintage from ebay
Bag & sandals: vintage from etsy
I apologise if some of the pictures aren’t as good as they can be, i’ve been a tad lazy to take my camera out with me lately so some of the hazy ones are taken with the iPhone. I cannot wait for tomorrow evening to come so i can pop by the seamstress to pick up my dresses and my curtains! I had some friends and my mom&sis over this week… and i was all like, “oh but i don’t have curtains”. None of them cared about the curtains but i certainly still do. So come home to mama!
