rolling with true blood.

I've been waiting for a really long time for the new True Blood episode to buffer, so I ended up resurrecting long forgotten polyvore drafts. Here are all the ones I've done so far:

sequined skirts, yayy, yayyyy-

i see mansard roof through the trees. by mm-megan featuring Haute Hippie

This polyvore set is testimony to my obsession with sequined skirts. It also heavily stresses my not-really-creepy-stalker crush on Ezra Koenig, frontman and vocalist of Vampire Weekend. I'd die of joy if Vampire Weekend came to Hong Kong, but that's about as likely as Barcelona shipping themselves over to my house in a heart-shaped box. =(

them lace tees look tasty.

Being an ignorant Hong Kong born and bred child, I was only exposed to American Apparel last summer and did not truly appreciate what an amazing brand it was. I did not appreciate my cousins' employee discount at the time either. I did not party and rush over to the promotional store when it opened in Lane Crawford either.

I only realised what an amazing brand it was - is - after all of these amazing opportunities escaped me.

High waisted bull-denim pencil skirts? High waisted swim shorts? Big slouchy jackets? These are all things that are hard to find here- at the moment we're big on drop crouch pants, layering (as always) and it's raining too much to even consider pulling out a twopiece. I was wandering about on the AA website, as I'm prone to doing when I'm bored, and clicked on a button that never really interested me before because it seemed so overdone. This button read 'Lace'.

And now I really, really want not just one lace shirt, but two. (For anyone looking to buy me a birthday present, they're specifically the Jacquard Lace tee in navy and El Salvador in nude). Here are some images of people I thought looked amazing wearing them.

brown leather.

There's something about brown leather that I adore. I think it's mainly because black leather can easily look extremely tacky and gothic, whereas brown leather is just so chillaxed and casual.

Brown leather high-waisted corset shorts by Alexander Wang

The same shorts, because they're so amazing I had to show them twice.

claudia schiffer, you bitch.

I loved 500 Days of Summer.

It wasn't intensely experimental or abstract, which is what I was expecting from reviews I'd seen previously, and I loved that it wasn't a love story- it was a recovery. I don't think there are enough movies out there that are as poignant as it, and I doubt there are any others out there that have a soundtrack as beastly. [The Temper Trap, WHAT UP?!]

Anyways, I digress. This post mainly revolves around me satiating my hormonal teenage lust in regards to Joseph Gordon Levitt- one of the sexiest men to roam the earth. I found a vintage GQ photoshoot spread from 2008 that featured him and supermodel Claudia Schiffer, and shazaaam, what I wouldn't give to be that woman.

i want those shoes.

vivienne westwood, fall 2010.

Vivienne Westwood is one of my favourite designers (blame Nana's amazing armour ring for that) and I love her wacky, punk aesthetic. Her collection for fall 2010 consisted of crazy, colourful prints, draping and layering. She toyed with gender-bending, the models were made up to look like quite masculine and the words 'Prince Charming' were printed on various pieces of clothing.

fall 2010 accessories.

I may be a little slow on the uptake, but I recently saw a list of accessories designer showcases for fall 2010. Needless to say, my brain has melted into a pile of lustful goop.

VBH, swarovski studded black leather purse
Roger Vivier, golden leaf sequined felt bootie



Louis Vuitton, lace detailed tortoise shell glasses
Herve Van Der Streeten earrings, silvered bronze


Herve Van Der Streeten, bronze statement necklace

Derek Lam, studded leather fringe bag

longing for leggings

I practically live in leggings. I also spend an unhealthy amount of time on lookbook.nu.

The combination is a deadly one and it leads to moments like this:

• 
  
• 
  

• 
  
• 
  

It's times like these when I wish my legs would magically shrink to a more respectable size, because I am longing for those leggings.

Funnily enough, those amazing leggings are from H&M. My guess is they're putting more money into market research or had a lucky one off, because those actually excite me in ways I never knew possible.

my ultimate summer dress.

I'm surprised it's still on the site, since I was lusting after it a couple of months ago, but I was scrolling through my bookmarked list and found this:

This is the Urban Outfitters reformed open-back dress. It still blows my mind everytime I lay my eyes upon it.

As my attempts to convince my mom into buying anything I've mentioned on this blog and more have failed, I've all but given up hope on this baby. For old time's sake, I'll fruitlessly plead with her- this dress deserves it.

What I did find though, is that this dress comes in another colour. In the ask and answer section, someone posted up a picture of themselves wearing it:

Given that my mom actually says yes, this may turn out to be the most intense dilemma of my entire life.

the only time i'd appreciate being numb.

Hehe, it's time to take some shameless pride in my hometown. I was browsing the internet (when I should have been writing scene summaries for A View from the Bridge) and came across Numlock.

Numlock is Hong Kong based and they make some lust-worthy watches. I know watches aren't really for everyone - I have friends who love them like A Level exams - but they made me extremely happy.

Here are my favourite watches from the site:

somebody get me a lollipop. (TOP?)

A Korean band called Big Bang have been hired to advertise LG's new Lollipop phone (yes, I do have yellow fever in case you were wondering). Now, while this is old news for people following the Korean music circuit, I watched the music video for 'Lollipop' featuring 2NE1 just recently and was blown away by the blindingly neon outfits. TOP wears a pair of amazing glasses in the video and I went onto google images to try and find a picture of him wearing them, simply because there must be other girls even more obsessed with him than I am.

This failed.

Nevertheless, I did find out that Big Bang released a song called 'Lollipop 2', which totally blew my mind. I watched the video and had a minor mental breakdown.

This is an image of an outfit TOP wears in the video:

After drooling over TOP, please direct your attention to the AMAZING THING ON HIS WRIST.

That is a Toy Car Bracelet. I have capitalised each word because that's what it's actually being marketed as. This particular bracelet was designed by Nic Nat, but there are similar bracelets by 1981 here. His button blazer amazes me to no end, it's fitted so well.

In case you were wondering, yes, he is wearing a Hillary Clinton plushie around his neck. It isn't actually meant to be a necklace, it turns out that what TOP is wearing is a chew toy. Fat Cat Inc. created it so vindictive pet owners could watch their loveable dogs shred their not-so-favourite politicians to shreds. (Do I spy anti-American sentiment?)

In the same video, TOP also wore some crazy ass glasses:


After frantic research, I have found it impossible to place who designed them though. I am now thoroughly depressed. If anyone knows where they come from, please drop a comment and enlighten me. =)

If you noticed that TOP happens to be crushing yet another plushie beneath the Lollipop, it's again a Fat Cat Inc. production- only this time it's Bill Gates.

I wasn't as impressed with the choices for the other Big Bang boys (clearly the stylist was a diehard TOP fan) so I haven't included them. The link to the music video with all the other members' outfits is below this, just in case you're interested.

playtime on polyvore.

i need the ocean, or its sand, or the high that i felt when i first held your hand. by mm-megan featuring Opening Ceremony shoes

So, the sad, sad truth is that I spend most of my time playing on polyvore rather than actually working towards my A Levels. But that's okay. It's not like they're important or anything.

I just thought I'd incorporate those amazing sandals by Opening Ceremony I mentioned here into a set, and show you guys how I'd wear them. I also could not resist throwing in an image of the first generation of Skins, because I finished the first and second season recently and cried like a baby.

And just because I need some eye candy at the moment, here is my object of desire, Joe Dempsie (Chris Miles from Skins):

This is an Alviero Martini two pocket miniature backpack.

I have been lusting after it for little over four months after it randomly appeared in a vintage store less than ten minutes away from my house. I thought I didn't have the money to pay for it, but I've looked at all my pocket money and have realised that I actually do.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS-

I WANT A WOLF SHIRT.

If this doesn't make your day, I don't know what the hell will.

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.
