:: another lame excuse to be 'fashionable' ::

sigh...

cancelled because of 'security concerns' - typical mentality of some people (didn't want to say ' asian' lest accused of being stereotypical)...


remember hello kitty @ macdonalds promotion few years back? people queued up for hours, just to buy a meal, only to throw them away, but just to collect these toys...fights, lost temper galore - ugly sides of human nature revealed.

and now i wonder how 'limited' these collections are worth now, i bet the max is SGD$10 bucks.

anna hindmarch is so-laughing to the bank right now - that she even has this FAQ for this 'phenomenon' in her website

collectible/fashionable/whatever - just be happy!

:: finally A&F gave in ::

slight more than a year ago, they rejected my online order - apparently (then) my american address (and dollars) were not good enough for abercrombie & fitch.

i just tried my luck again and places the following orders (because i just love the worn-out vintage detailing and colours)



somehow, this time...they have changed their minds.

and my orders were promptly shipped as promised ;-)




and as usual, clothes always look so much better in catalogs than in actual product.

but i'm happy - just in time for the summer (which i hope will come really soon here).

peace!

:: theraphy of the month : COS ::

happy! a new (well, almost 2 months now :$) retail theraphy in town - COS (Collection of Style) - which is a new high-end label from H&M chain.

i tried the grey knee length shorts (39EU/29GBP) below, too bad its a tad big and my only complaint is that the smallest size for trousers/pants is 30, while i wear size 28 (i know, i don't look that thin, but i have really small waist ;)

i love their collection, check it out!

:: do i really need another LV? ::

"i have regretted the day since i saw that LV monogram groom zippy organiser @ selfridges during my last trip to london. i had contemplated for so much that i bought the damier geant canvas compagnon bag instead. it has become virtually impossible to find any new ones now, since they have stopped the range."

i have always wanted LV zippy organiser, but i didn't like monogram one, because of the sheer number of fakes out there. however, i gave in - having a friend who works in a LV boutique and having your contact details in their database didn't help either! so when my order for the limited edition version the zippy organiser - LV Cup 2007 was finally here, i simply had to get it.

as usual, my purchase didn't disappoint. with 8 credit card slots, 2 open pockets for bills, 1 zippered compartment for change, 3 large, gusseted compartments for documents and passport and 1 patch pocket - that's all i need really to put all my important stuff there (ie: means to justify my indulgence).

already i know that this range is sold-out in japan with the prices in ebay and yahoo japan has increased in comparision to the retail price for this item brand-new. and also the price that i got here is cheaper relatively to the singapore one by discounting on the GST (or VAT) alone.

to be honest, i have a perfectly good travel document organiser by samsonite right now, and i don't really need this at all. i am itching to sell just because of its limited range and from a collector's point of view.

what should i do? really...

:: another crocs fad? ::

"well, maybe but i will get them anyway - after my feet are moisturised and pedicured. it is gross to wear bare sandals with flakky skin and dirty nails"

you can buy them online, they have beautiful shoes/sandals range too.
