LOOKBOOK.nu: "choux pastry heart" by Iceberg Y



LOOKBOOK.nu: "choux pastry heart" by Iceberg Y: "Collage Straw Hat, Vintage Necklace, Topshop Oversized Shirt"

This is actually my all time favourite look on lookbook. You can't see it here, but the necklace he is wearing is absolutely amazing. I went to his blog and he's provided a close-up of it here:


The look belongs to a user called Iceberg Y who has awesome style, but I'd be lying if I said his cute face didn't influence my opinion slightly. His blog is called rockouture, so go follow him if you aren't already. He's got an opinion of his own on the fashion industry and various designers, so he makes for an interesting read. =)

it's barely spring, but look ahead kid.

There are four things that I am currently lusting after.

1. A pair of awesome sunglasses
2. Shoes (preferably sandals)
3. A small leather drawstring purse

4. A Welsh boy I met a few days ago with the face of a fucking angel.

--> edit: he got eleven A*s for his GCSEs. He is also gay.


Sunglasses


3-D sunglasses, Bless



The Annie Glasses in Tortoise, nastygal.com




Cat Eye sunglasses in copper, Alexander Wang for Linda Farrow


London frames, Prism
(I know they aren't sunglasses, but LOOK AT THEM.)


Shoes


Huarache Clog,
Opening Ceremony
[They look incredibly heavy, but you have to make some concessions, no?]





Cut out oxford sandals,
Opening Ceremony
[I would actually kill for these. Unfortunately, that wouldn't change my mom's mind.]





Drawstring bags





Studded Diego Bucket Bag in suede, Alexander Wang






Vintage Chanel drawstring bag
[The bag I will remember and want for the rest of my life. It. Is. Perfect.]


Seeing as I can't afford anything I've listed, it's time to save up for a visa to party in Shenzhen with my favourite shop assistants. =)

this is why you don't bring an american brand to england.


Now a rummage sale at American Apparel sounds like a godsend, ja? 20,000+ people in England thought so too, according to the Facebook event page. From what I've gathered, AA made little effort to control the crowd outside their London store and it resulted with this:



Maybe I'm just a pussy-footed Hong Kong girl, but I think that looks pretty frightening. There were no barriers, no security or staff to control the tsunami of bargain hunters, so it's not surprising it ended so badly. Apparently only thirty people got into the store before the rummage sale was shut down by the police (who should've been there to begin with). I guess American Apparel knows they've screwed up big time, because they recently updated their event page:


Yikes.

Jason of Beverly Hills

I have a bizarre fetish for crazy jewellery- in particular, mindblowing rings. Since I'm on Easter break and have finally been reunited with my internet (it was down for a month. I do not exaggerate) I spent the morning watching various music videos. I stumbled across If We Ever Meet Again by Timbaland, featuring Katy Perry and had a mental breakdown when I saw this:


-and I don't mean the constipated look on her face. That was just an unfortunate screen capture on my part.

I would like to direct your attention to the amazing thing on her finger. Here it is, without Katy Perry.




*sound of a brain spontaneously combusting*

After a bit of research, I found out that it's a Jason of Beverly Hills Wing Ring. It comes in black diamonds and oxidised gold as well. I browsed the site and their blog for a little bit before finding something else equally, if not more, amazing.

If I had this, I could literally blow people away. (that was horribly lame, but I've been playing Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth for the past two hours, okay?)

They've got a bunch of other awesome rings on their site, so if you want to take an extra looky looky, go here.
