Threaded


One of those precious etsy finds. I love love love the shoulder "pads", pin it on tees, shirts, dresses for an instant lift.

Bow over (again)




You know my infatuation with bows. I jump and squeal at first sight of them. Needless to say, when I saw these over at Style Bubble, I was gasping for air.

Cor Sine Labe Doli was founder by Antonio Patruno Randolfi, Luigi Arbore and Massimo Mazzilli. All handcrafted out of ceramic by the local expert artisans in Marostica, Italy. The bow is such a simple accessory but done in the most eccentric and artistic manner.

what (I wish) I wore today



Am so into the basic maxi dresses right now and this nautical stripe one is perfect for the season. Pair it with a biker chic denim jacket like this one by Helmut Lang, arm with the oh-so-coveted PS1, put on the perfect sandals by Rachel Comey and finish the look with a straw hat, some geek glasses and bangles.

Okay, enough dreaming. That would be the outfit today if money grew on plants in my living room.

Backpack

Me: I need a massage badlyyyyy. Shoulder ache, back ache, neck ache.
Aunt: How come?
Me: I'm guessing my heavy bag and laptop.
Aunt: You need a backpack!
Me: eeks. I can live with the pain.
Aunt: What's wrong with backpack, they're cool ok
Me: Yeah! Back when I was in secondary school?

I'll eat my words. I need a backpack. I need this backpack to be precise.


Flat soles

It's odd how it has been raining quite a bit lately. Ain't it supposed to be summer? Nonetheless, rain or shine, the weather does clear up after several hours and so the footwear of choice would still be sandals. Sandals are staples for our climate and will be better footwear than the national flip flops. I've been constantly looking for new sandals to replace the old ones which i've worn them to their grave (and still wearing) and these are a whole lot of promising looking ones (without looking at price tags).

DNA

Finnish people are not only known for their designs, their people are equally know for their great sense of style. I'm starting to think it is in their DNA to be aesthetically creative in all sense, from design to dressing.

Ranna has always been one of my favorite bloggers and definitely one of those in my style icon list. And even though she closed her english blog, her Finnish one is equally stylish (as always). Though the google reader does quite a shitty job with translating Finnish to English, the photo diary of her day to day outfits are enough for me to feast on. I just love the way she layer the pearl necklaces to create a classic, old style look on a modern outfit or how beautifully she wears the 50s look.
