Christian Dior Fall Couture 2008

A classic 50s inspired collection, Im blown away but the volume and structure of the gowns. Those lovely large bows and capes and not forgetting the flapper inspired hats. 

Let's fall in love...

Bed of roses


Like wearing a bed of roses, this 1950s couture dress is absolutely stunning. 

This vintage beauty was listed by vintage ebay seller, sickthrift some time back. And now it's been relisted with a buy price of US$385 due to non-paying winner. 

The intricate detailing of layers of roses around the breast, contrast against the green grass print, slowly revealing splashes of painted roses. This dress is amazing, and a definite stunner for a garden wedding party.

who's getting married with a garden theme?

Outfit - Back to basic


I got bored at work, and decided to do a outfit post. And since i do not have a camera (mine's a 3mega pixel, from ages ago, i spend all my money on clothes) i decided to use polyvore to create today's outfit as closely as possible. 

Today's theme is back to basic, denim jeans + white tank, mixing in vintage accessories, with a punch of cobalt blue. The only actual item shown is the faux croc framed bag from urban outfitters.

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!
