I've never warn a head shawl cocoon combo, looks difficult to master, what stood out to me are the hardened swirls of lava pouring forth onto the tasty wedges and footwear.

2012-02-21T13:36:00.000Z

A women's handbag can be an Aladdins cave and a unintentional storehouse of memories of the past night week or year, the same could be applied to clutches for those evenings out. Diane got playful and kookified these clutches ranging from clocks to hearts to dominoes and for the all occasion's leather & fur. I can not deny their essential use for the evening you can be as flamboyant or subtle as you like.

Claw my way back here

2011-12-11T22:42:00.001Z

After a three months inactivity, I didn't plan on having, I'm happy to be back blogging in the year of the Water Dragon 2012, lets make it a good one!! The best way to get back to blogging after a long break is to just slip back in with no big fuss. It’s time that I pick this thing back up and start creating. I’m feeling a little rusty. blogging is constantly on my mind. I mean on a daily basis I say to myself, “You should blog about this.” But I don’t.

I was having a slight identity crisis with the way my blog looked, so after hours of tinkering and photoshop, I stopped at this. I usually stop just short of what I'm content with or I never know when to put the paint brush down. I'm not sure which one it was this time. But I guess that's not important but just to be updating again :) x

Never underestimate the unquenchable power of Black and White. Sci-Fi realm deconstructed pieces, with touches of leather and sheer material.
I particularly dig the footwear and the collection kind of has tinges of Rick, Ann, Damir.

Jeremy Scott x 2NE1 Wings adidas Originals

2011-10-18T14:10:00.000+01:00

Jeremy Scott has paid homage to my favorite group of girls 2NE1 by bringing us JS Collage Wings x 2NE1 through the addidas originals line. Jeremy Scott’s and 2NE1’s initial meeting back in 2010 was purely through their interest towards one another. 2NE1 has become something of a muse for designer Jeremy Scott as-well as a close friend and aficionado.

Set in a mix of vibrant color leather with some faux animal print panels. The limited edition 2NE1 sneaker will release in Asia first and then to select global retailers November 2011.

These certainly won't be everyone's cup of tea but if you have a backbone like 2NE1, then seize the day.

Bjork Biophilia Visuals

2011-10-12T12:03:00.000+01:00

Bjork doesn't do things by half measures! still showing she’s ahead of her time...Beseech the striking new Album Art Biophilia » A Visual Blowout exploring of a union between technology and music«

Biophilia will be the world's first app album in collaboration with Apple. Björk has described the project as a multimedia collection, encompassing music, apps, internet, installations, and live shows.

I'm pretty ignorant of her music besides the mainstream hit ' It's Oh So Quiet' but what I can sense is that she is a daring visionary, with her music, art, style, and technology.

{Shoes} Creepers Return

2011-10-11T19:23:00.000+01:00

I think you may have noticed many different versions of creepers have been popping up everywhere, Tokyo itself has been donning it's creepers, ever since I could remember! But I'm stoked that creepers have returned back to there original home in mainstream England where the brothel creepers found their origins in the years following World War II.

Monday Contraptions + TV ANTICS

2011-10-10T17:55:00.000+01:00

This is my first post yielded in October, I'm feeling conscience stricken for not having posted anything here for 10 days.. it's not for a lack of material - lord knows I wanted to bequeath on you MORE unusual shoes and whatever cockamamie trappings I usually post ~ I have a confession I never use the word 'lord' it just transpires when I write! tis why I minimize self ramblings, I come to realise whatever I type sounds nothing like me! There's my DAILY gab separated by my TYPING gab. But whichever gab it is today.. I decided to tentatively peck at my keyboard on this very Monday So... Where do I begin?

Lately I've watched 'My Goldfish is Evil' yes I will outright declare I switch channels for this show! Unless you're under 13 or have younger; siblings nieces/nephews children of your own it is very LIKELY YOU may NOT have heard of this show.

I seem to be acquainted with my inner child and adore the concept of an evil criminal genius fish who can be quite witty versus his poor owner Beanie. Before you think I'm a votary of this show, just so you know I've watched 3 episodes in the span of couple of months, so it begs to differ why this made the forefront of this post!?

Probably a bit late for this one but anyways the show 'Cake Boss', what inventiveness of fondant magic used to concoct cray cray cakes, I like the family & team and the way they pull together when needed. My parents had a family business so I can relate to this show.

USEFUL APPS

1. Zoff Mirror featuring the well known Japanese model Kiko Mizuhara - try out the free app online!

2. Alarm clock app Okite posts embarrassing tweets to your Twitter feed, each time you hit snooze. - Available on iPhones

After the alarm goes off in the morning, the app send out tweets, such as “dressed as a sailor now” and “not enough talented people like me in the world”, whenever users hit the snooze button.

Okite, which means “wake up” in Japanese, is a free app that discourages users from sleeping in, developed by Japanese company Eureka. Sadly though this isn't localized in English! I could really do with this.. If this is not incentive to wake up, I’m not sure what is!

Burçe Bekrek SS 2012 - ESTRO/VERSA

2011-09-29T12:35:00.001+01:00

Do take a moment to get to know Burçe Bekrek, whom I featured last season as the one to watch, she has returned with a clear versatile, uber feminine collection with a palatable edge. Burce has reflected her craft and creativity by paying attention to new fabric compositions, forming 50% linen & 50% cotton fabrics to ward off crinkle crease predicaments, whilst keeping faithful to key fabrics as silk crepe, silk jersey and washed silk. You can once again discern the multipurpose compatible pieces in this collection transpiring as her design philosophy. The handmade collar accessory and zippers which come in three colors, are a sweetened bonus to the collection. I would wear these in a heart beat!

Burçe describes the versatility of this collection "Couture like dresses that seem like a one piece, are two pieces and can be wearable at anywhere anytime. For example the skirts can also fit well with boyfriend cut tees! My vest designs can be wearable in two or three ways."

Unique Earrings

2011-09-26T13:56:00.000+01:00

As you may very well know by now, along with minimal classic concepts, I'm always drawn to kooky unique designs, now , alot of the time.. I can't pull off the kooky designs but I SURE like to give it a try! and that Unicorn earring makes me want to! If I was going for a more stronger look I would wear the screw earring, It really looks like a rustic screw nail.. but it ain't of course! Check out cartilage earrings from FreshTrends.

Anastasiya Komarova - FORMS CLUTCHES

2011-09-20T13:49:00.000+01:00

My senses of touch have heightened immensely! by peering over these come-hither clutches. For a split second there, I wanted to take a bite out of that tablet of chocolate or run my fingers over them! but alas my craving moved onto the other strange seductive pieces from the collection. The leather looks melt-able into cubes, chains, spheres and crosses resulting in a perfect distinctive finish. If you remember playing with play-dough, you could simply imagine Anastasiya Komarova, molding squishing away with play dough in her toddler years. The Russian designer’s intricate and delicate way of working with these textures demonstrates her artistic craftsmanship. These delightful pieces make you want to grab a clutch and hold on to it until the cows come home.
