Daydreaming shoes

I've been on the lookout for standout statement shoes. Lately its been kind of a like a craving...I blame Jak & Jil haha. I went to the summer sales at Barneys and Bloomingdales...couldn't find The One. I searched everywhere online: Shopbop, Zappos, Piperlime, even Oak.

But I did discover a beautiful shoemaker, Pour La Victoire. I really love their designs and think I'll keep an eye for their Fall Collection

AND i've been thinking about dr. martens since last year went I got my minnetonka ankle boots. it was either one, and i chose the minnetonka. i saw a shopping episode of Seo Inyoung in Singapore. she purchased the flower print and the bright blue ones. so now i've been thinking maybe i should get dr. martens as well, perhaps in something other than black? but i love them black...and then i thought, hmm maybe i should get the tall ones and use them as rainboots?

1st blog post: All about Alexander Wang

I first encountered the name in my Elle magazine few years ago when he was at an age I currently am now (I think only 2 years back) and already he has won the CFDA womenswear awards. He collaborated with Uniqlo and Gap but sadly never found anything (or was too late) for me there. But I got some stuff at his sample sale last summer (where I got a glimpse of him). Theres another one tomorrow hurray! Hope I find can find things in my size.

Here are just some pieces from previous collections I loved so far:
Fall 08

Spring 09

Fall 09

Resort 10 (amazing & a huge improvement from the resort 09)

and then he expanded into handbags/shoes/basic tees BEST DECISION EVER

When the T collection first came out in spring 09 bc i was skeptical, but quickly changed my mind when the fall 09 collection came out: the designs are def. different and cut in ways you've always dreamed of. i tried on the t-shirt dress (the one right below) and was soo in love. it was over $100 but you can't find anything like it elsewhere (except for the row which is even pricier) but for some reason the XS size was still too big and baggy, as you can see on the model as well.

so i first saw that gunshot bag (the one with all the studs on the bottom) several months back when mk olsen had it like and wanted it so much! i think this is a smaller version from what she had...i prefer the bigger one but i guess it was just a sample. and those booties...ahhh i know i'd feel like a superhero if i wore them.

update: waited in line before the sale started, things were as cheap as last year, I saw that dress I saw in Boon the Shop while I was in Korea a few months ago, sales lady said it was the new spring collection when it was actually the old resort. grrr...but still too pricey for what it is, with footprints and all from the craziest chaos. the guards were staring at the girls stripping down, i wonder if they knew or just didn't care.
and so I ended up only getting one dress. its a prototype so there was only one...i'm guessing by the velvet material and black netting it was for pre-fall 09 (everything was spring 09 and resort 09), in which case, score!

super long post of photos but one last one...of The Dress

Moving to a new home: my own blog

So I've decided to open up my own blog, mostly dealing with my relationship with fashion.
I already spend way too much time on facebook and cyworld, but I want to use them for different purposes. My fashion folder in cyworld is hardly appreciated, and its such a big part of who I am. I'm going to relocate stuff around so that I'm not spending any more time than I previously did on the web. Hopefully this will be successful...
