sans-volume

My lifeless, volumeless, ultra-thin, limpy hair needs a cut soon. And being lifeless, volumeless, ultra-thin and limpy, it doesn't stay with any amount of hair products. Its just bleh. flat. I would love to have this model's hair, so crisp and blunt and so much volume! I love the texture of caucasian hair, unlike asian hair, they have so much life in them they actually "listen". 

It's time for a trip to the stylist soon, maybe this picture can come along with me :)

Maki blues

Yet another adorable piece from MakiMaki Vintage unfortunately the size is too small. The zig zag wave and the slight poofy-ness around the hips... Kinda remind me of this dress from Chloe.

Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair

I first discovered Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair at Actually..., probably a year back. And it was a bustier piece that captured my attention, the structural folds, the full tulip skirt, it was love at first sight with a S$500 price tag on it. No, I did not buy the dress, but it was constantly in on my mind for awhile. i assumed it was a New York label, due to the nature of the name, and only now have i found out that it originates from Sweden via style bubble.

"Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair is dedicated to traditional tailoring, pattern making and the old ways of the trade. The love of quality and details will always be our priority" -Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair

What I absolutely adore is that the dramatic architecture found in their designs, is brought down to pre-a-porter retaining their core of detailing.

Spotted some of these illustrations on several blogs and i finally decided to check it out. It's really adorable i must say, illustrating the runway outfits onto little bunnies. Makes me wanna learn how to draw, i can't draw for nuts! I know of someone who can, and im still waiting for her interpretation of pinktuutuu for a blog banner.

sale sale sale

Everyone loves a good bargain, thats for sure. And im sure every high street fashion fan will be pleased to hear that both zara and mango are having further mark downs, 50% and 70% respectively. So if you haven't got time to check out the sales, its probably the best time to do so this weekend before GSS ends!

i've got the sweetest deal from mango, remember this dress? i got it at a further discount for S$99! All thanks to a little self-control, i managed to save S$49. 

*feeling very pleased
