Vogue Paris August 2009 Amazing Spread

I just found this amazing fashion spread in Vogue Paris August 2009 edition. Longest fashion spread I've ever read...

I only choose my several favorites to be shown here...

Vogue Paris Aug 09 | ADN de la Mode by Inez & Vinoodh



(Chanel - love the classic black & white look)


(Nina Ricci - I love the striking red color here, and the shoes!! OMG, how can you even stand in it??)


(Balmain - just getting familiar with the designer, I fell in love with its sense of modernity)


(Prada - where would you wear these boots? Damn gorgeous!!)


(Diesel - this all jeans look totally worked out, wonder if I could pull similar look..)


(Louis Vuitton - honestly, I'm not a fan of the label, but this picture looks amazing, and the bags are different from those monochrome bags they usually do)


(Moschino - playful as always, need to say more?)


(Chloe - very simple and chic, and elegant at the same time)


(Valentino - the master of beautiful, gorgeous dresses. This one is an OK...)


(MiuMiu - Somehow, I prefer MiuMiu than Prada. I love the bag here)


(D&G - this look is so cute, reminds me of those looks from the 50s. Oh, and it's PINK!!)


(Celine - this one's a classic preppy. I love the red accents)


(Versace - again, not a big fan actually. But this is a fresher look, so I'll go for it)


(John Galliano - last but definitely not the least. This comes from my favorite designer, so it HAS to be here. Shoes are awesome!!)

Outdoor Fashion Photography

I've been searching several benchmarks on outdoor fashion photo shoot for my own little 'project'. These are several pics that I found on the net... I can't wait to do the whole project, this working-in-an-office thing has been sooooo boring, I'm dying to get out of here...

Can't Wait for...

my new internet modem to arrive!!! I'm so damn upset and very impatient when browsing and uploading pics at office since the connection sucks!!

Patience, my dear... :(

Anyway, she is my muse this week:

Two in One

I watched two movies in a row last weekend, just to satisfy my curiosity... Ha!

I watched Harry Potter on Saturday, and (as many people said) it turns out that the movie sucked... As a loyal Harry Potter fans, I must say that this one's a failure. Such a shame. I know that it's not easy to translate a novel to a movie, but it could've been better...


On Sunday, I watched Public Enemies, starring Johnny Depp (the greatest actor of all time). The movie's fine. It was not Depp's best movie though, but still, he's the most gorgeous on-screen gangster... ^_^


Enough of movies. A little update on what I wore on the weekend. I'm currently obsessed with NECKLACES and SCARFS. So please forgive me if my posts are blundered by them. I found this cute key necklace before I watched Harry Potter. It reminds me of Sailor Pluto's necklace in Sailor Moon anime series (yes, I'm a fan...).

And on Sunday, I wore my purple leopard scarf (again!), paired with simple black tees, grey overall (underneath the tee), and black leggings. Simple, but comfort comes first!!

A Date with the Leopard Scarf

Dating Time!!! I pursued my BF to watch the new Harry Potter movie, but we ended up watching Ice Age 3 (again) because all Harry Potter tickets were sold out!! I still had a great time though...

I wore my new purple leopard scarf with grey skinny jeans, nude sandals, black tank, black belt, and black jacket (too many blacks?? yeah... I guess so). I love wearing the scarf although the weather was a bit warm. And my big black hobo bag, as usual, had been a great friend too... ^_^

Think I'm going to watch Harry Potter next weekend with my sister... Oh, Public Enemy is also opening this week!!! Argh, I want to watch 'em both!!!

Working on this Project...

I've probably mentioned it on previous posts, but me and some of my friends are working on a new project (I'll call it P from now on). I can't really talk about it rite now, since it's still at early stage. Hopefully, everything will go on well and this project can be a new starting point for me... ^_^

Last Saturday was our first meeting discussing the P in Starbucks. We started at 10.30 am and end up at 5.30 pm. Can't believe that I spent 7 hours in Starbucks!!! Wew...

By the way, wore this simple white casual dress and black tights. I accessorize it with an owl necklace, which kinda looked bold actually...

Wish me luck for the P!!!
