Hotcakes

My dears, I love 3.1 Phillip Lim. There are no words to express my desire to wear each and every one of his clothes. With this current wave of designer-consumer marketing, collaborations seem to be popping up everywhere....you all know what I'm talking about. First Alexander Wang (this May, folks!) and now my prayers have been heard (especially if it's anything like his Fall 07' collection). 3.1 Phillip Lim for Gap will become a reality for everyone in the US, Canada and Japan. How come all of these collab things stop at Japan? Urgh, is Seoul not as important or something??? It feels like someone is dangling a Krispy Kreme doughnut in front of my face but I'm not allowed to eat it. I tell you, ME WANTS MY SHARE IN THIS MASS CONSUMERISM!!!

Ranting over, now I really have to get back to study (only one exam done and over). Oooo I tried to get tickets for Lie Sang Bong's Fall '08 show that's showing at the Seoul Collection this week but they were all sold out like hotcakes. I got tickets for another show though, will tell you about it tomorrow....ta-ra

Advent Countdown: 24th of December

HO HO HO~! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!! I hope you're having a lovely day so far, full of lots of laughs and Christmas cheer~~~ Today I'm going to be naughty and post about my longing for a WHOLE collection! That would be 3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2007. Pretty please, Santa?Above are four of my favourite outfits, the first being the most fave but I could definitely work the black and white dress into A LOT of my outfits! Isn't it too beautiful for words???!!!!

After-work dresses

Here are a few after-work outfits that you could spend the night in (all from designated 2007 Ready-to-Wear Fall runway collections):

1) Derek Lam: though you could probably wear this dress TO work since it's demure enough.
2) Alberta Ferretti: isn't the gray gradation, gorgeous?
3) Alberta Ferretti: i'm loving the sheer black mesh neckline and the further details on the dress even if it is just black.
4) Ralph Lauren: envying the perfect hour glass figure you get when wearing this outfit w/a cinched belt. Actually wear this one to work!!!
5) Ralph Lauren: elegant yet simple, long black dress with matching gloves
6) Valentino: loving the black mesh neckline again and the smooth fit. Beautiful beaded belt.

3.1 Phillip Lim Fall '07

Oh my god, it's happened again...I've fallen head over heels in love with the newest collection . In one word I would describe it as absolute 'genius', the clothes are all just so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!! I picked six of my fav's from his collection and these are the reasons why:1st- That is one yellow raincoat with over-sized buttons that I'd love to have in my closet , it's pouring in Seoul at the moment. I'm still obsessing over the yellow!
2nd- Knits are practically my fav staple, I love the pattern, collar and the gray tone of the sweater. The skirt is also showing some gorgeous folding and I like the nice touch of tying the matching scarf to the bag.
3rd- Tartan red is always awesome. The combination of the chunky stripes of the jacket and the thin stripes on the shirt complement each other well, and the khaki pants are another thumbs up.
4th- I still cannot get over the fact that I adore how those puffy, embroidered sleeves are coming out of the arms of that short black jacket, its absolutely divine!
5th- The classic marine/sailor look with all the right colors. As well as knits, I love to layer! Layer away~~it adds so much more interest to an outfit when you have diff. colours peeking out from everywhere.
6th- I'm admiring all the black tights under the lighter-shaded clothing concept. Contrasting colors is the way to go this fall. The chunky belt is just awesome.
Make sure to check out his runway collection too, it's also gorgeous!
