another fairytale..

among a bunch of things happening at the just-finished london fashion week, besides fashion shows and front rows, there were a few of them which stood out. when jefferson hack throws a party you know it won't be conventional nor stereotypical just like the magazines he's running. inspired by a classic fairytale - alice in wonderland, the release party for AnOther magazine's 25th issue was hosted by 25 of london's it faces. the rest of them through the looking glass.

fake empire..

back in the day when my idea of ideal interior decoration meant nirvana posters on my bedroom walls, 

my beauty/fashion essentials were a pair of washed-out levi's 501 and my then red hair. i miss those days because i don't love my twenty pairs of jeans that i own today as much as i loved my 501s. the most important thing that i realized back then was that all the clothes in the world can never replace a couple of timeless pieces. that combined with the mantra that less is always more is the key to an effortless style. and that's why i find it so frustrating and sad watching armies of clones walking around with their ombre highlights wearing peplum cuts and statement necklaces when all they need is a white shirt and the right attitude.

lately..

 scarves, stripes, skinnies, boots, wayfarers.. i've missed her. 
(i was affraid for a while that becoming mrs ment only fur coats, cocktail dresses and high heel pumps).

reds..

 when it comes to clothes red isn't exactly my color. the only red piece in my wardrobe is this dress here. but i love seeing it on others..my favorite ruby aldridge for instance. i don't even mind her top to toe red combination. makes me think of reconsidering to add some of this tones into my closet. 

dirty dancing..

listening to noel gallagher's high flying birds and contemplating over this pictures rather than over something i'm supposed to..it's barely the middle of the week and all i'm thinking about is going dancing with the girls this weekend..

london calling..

packing my little black suitcase for a short trip to london..if i run into kate somewhere on primrose hill, i'll ask her why she has been wearing so much fur lately when she and her hubbie look great in these classic coats.. 

wintertime love(s)..

here's some wintertime ruby aldridge inspiration..my worn-out black beanie and oversized parka totally fit the picture. just as 'waiting for the sun' by the doors fits every season. that's why this album never leaves my mp3 player.

rebel, rebel..

inspired by emmanuelle alt's amazing december issue, i'm wishing you a violet and rocking new year, with kate & ziggy shot by ellen von unwerth back in 2003..
