All about the packaging

Waitrose's packaging always stand out among the many brands sitting on a supermarket shelf, and this is no exception, extremely simply and effective. Very cute too.

the hen or the egg?

At first i was intrigued by the photography, nothing extremely spectacular, but the sheerness and whiteness of the entire spread looks refreshingly dazed. And then i noticed the amazing neck pieces and found it uncannily familiar. They resembles the pieces done by kwodrent, a local designer/artist. And i thought proudly, hey, that's made in Singapore! But when i took a closer look, the credit goes to Ka/Pow/Wow. 

Kwodrent, the brainchild of Grace Tan, is a progressive series of clothing and fabric works based on the study of rectangles, reference to the material and construction methods. It has blurred the line between art, fashion and architecture. Ka/Pow/Wow on the other hand, does neckpieces inspired by Jacobian  ruffs and natural structures such as fruit and corals, handcrafted from reclaimed textiles. Ka/Pow/Wow is all about dramatic neckpieces. 

Both extremely clever and pretty, so which came first? But i believe such coincidental ideas do exist without any piracy involved too.

Wardrobe remixer

Introducing... Boboniaa, she's adorably chic and stylish. She's not a blogger but she's a fabulous wardrobe remixer and vintage lover. I've been flickr-stalking her for sometime now. I love her extensive wardrobe full of clothes and collection of colored pumps, she seems to have them in every color! I never knew you could find such pretty vintage apparels in Bangkok. Can't wait for my next trip there!

Check out her photostream for more clothes!

cocktail hour

surfed my way into this ebay store, Pink Elephant Vintage selling mostly vintage gowns, cocktail/prom/party  dresses. The pieces are relatively pretty with tons of layers, ruffles, bows, bows and more bows (you know how bows and ruffles drive me insane). You can expect a lot of saturated colors instead of the usual black and muted tones.

Adapt the Lily Allen style or like this fabulous lady and make party/prom dresses your next pair of jeans.
