Reversible Destiny House aka playhouse

Design and build by Arakawa and Madeline Gins, these reversible lofts are created with the believe that "it's immoral that people have to die". The lifespan extending villa will make people use their bodies in unexpected ways to maintain equilibrium, and that will stimulate their immune system. And each loft is painted in over 40 colors! 

You think the exterior is cute? wait till you see the insides. I dont know about immortality, but it sure makes me wanna live in them! Its like a playhouse set from some kids programme!

Rainbow connection

Doing the usual ebay surfing, going thru my list of favourite ebay stores when i came across the prettiest plaid dress from liebemarlene vintage. The softest and most vibrant colors on a simple 50s day dress. Can be the prettiest summer dress for any wardrobe!

Pretty in Pink!

Lovely

Eighties Fave

I know when it comes to vintage, you need to grab it the moment you set your eyes on it, or it will be long gone. I spotted this eighties batwing tunic months ago on the urban collection but at a whopping US$92, I had to think twice. Going back to the site every now and then, clicking back on the same item, i still contemplated. I've even spotted an almost identical piece on ebayt. It was on one of those hot vintage shops, and the bid closed at over a hundred! Lucky for me, no one from the bid list discovered the urban collection. 

Most of the threads from the urban collection come and go really fast, and i started to wonder why no one wanted this beauty. And finally, its on sale! At only US$36, it was a steal! So this darling is gonna be mine! I'm gonna get a pair of yellow tights, maybe pink, orange and red to add on.

Yellow dress

Saw this dress hanging on the racks at Topshop few weeks ago, and i thought it looked familiar. Then i realised it is the same one i spotted at Cherryblossomgirl, and now at misspandora. seems like a very popular dress among bloggers, both Alix and Louise look fabulous! 

Thing about yellow, it doesn't flatter asian skin, great for fairer girls thou. Too bad for me, im tan. But maybe i should just give it a shot in the dressing room!

Mango sale!

This may sound like a late announcement, but Mango is having a sale! And i spotted this dress i had my eyes on, it was worn by a girl spotted by Ivan of facehunter! Usual price was SG199, and now its down to a SG138? I hope this beauty can wait, its a couple of days to pay day, and i've once again overspent for the month.

where are you?

i know this post has been long overdue and many bloggers have already covered the issue. But, WHERE ARE YOU AGATHE! I can't help but to miss her impeccable style, her ever so lovely pet pig, molvin, and her fantastic husband's photographs of her. Every now and then, i'd still try my luck and visit style bytes in hope of seeing it up and running again, with new outfit images, and her latest finds. Unfortunately it is still down. Like everyone else, i really wonder what had happened after her trip, and i sincerely hope she's fine.

Please come back to blogosphere soon! We miss you. 

And the band goes marching on...

The Travelling Shirt

Beth from The  Vintage Society, launched the travelling shirt project and created a wave! Such a fun project to play along to. The shirt, from the Quiksilver new clothing line has crossed the oceans and borders to 6 different Society Girls. Each girl has created a look of their own, reflecting their personal style. Its kinda hard to choose a favourite look, cause everyone of them look so good! Its amazing how one shirt can create so many different looks. Can i emphasize again that these girls look amazing! Great job all!

Maki Anyone?

 

I've been watching Makimaki Vintage for quite awhile now but never purchased anything from there. The main reason being the bids usually go way beyond my budget, you can expect bids to go up to over US100 at times, and even if they don't, thanks to exchange and international shipping rates, i'll still be paying alot. Makimaki Vintage make vintage clothing so desirable and modern. Probably due to the impeccable styling, the hot model and edgy shots.. vintage has never looked cooler!

i'm so in love with the white tux like dropwaist dress.
