Buy A Dress

Okay this is a bit random but Perpetual Princess just launched their first ever designer series of pretties and I am thinking about getting them to sell it in New Zealand (and I am figuring out how to sell it international as well). Perpetual Princess is a local label in Malaysia owned by a friend of mine (or my brother's to be exact). We had been trying to get the stocks to sell them overseas on our last trip back in the summer. Here's a little peek-a-boo at the new line!


Let me know if you like what you see. It will be very helpful for me to know if I should go ahead with the plan. :)




The print of this dress is very Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2010, no? I love the cut out part of the back and the button up skirt part!

On the street: Vintage

Since I started buying vintage clothing last year my biggest concerns were how to wear them without looking like the weird cat lady. I think that is what most of us would think about a lot. As in how do we make vintage wearable and blend in but still remain distinguishably chic.

These ladies seem to be doing a good job so I put them in as a reference to share with you guys. :)


P/s: I'd really like to do a giveaway soon but the traffic in this blog is disappointingly low. So if you like my blog, please follow it. You can do it via Google, Bloglovin' or Facebook. Will do the giveaway when we reach 100 followers! :D

The lights went wrong

I took this after having lunch at Bec's. In Bec's arms is Shiloh, her 16 weeks old kitten. The lights wasn't that corporative, I tried my best to edit the photo and this is my best try so far. Oh well, Becs still look totally beautiful. :)

Catch Phrase

I was introduced to this awesome game last year by my fellow Studen Lifers in uni. So there is this thing that comes out with random words which can be set to come out with words under specific categories. The catch is, it beeps, and it beeps faster and faster as time runs out. You are supposed to describe the word for your team mates to guess and pass it to the next person when they got the right answer. You lose if it stop beeping when it is in your hands.

We played it at Caleb's flat last year and it went something like that:

[Beep...beep...beep]
Someone: It's the brand of a car, a very American car.
Someone else: FORD FORD FORD.]
[beepbeepbeepbeepbeep]
Someone: Nonono! Okay scratch that. It's a horse a very fast horse!!
HUH?
Eva: A DONKEY!
[silence]

The answer was mustang.

If my yearbook were like this, I would believe that I have died and gone to heaven. This has to be my favourite editorial for a while (a long long while). I know it had been quite some time since it was published. Back when I talk about fashion so fervently and not very much an OCD vintage person. But that's the thing about vintage, they won't get old, they are already old. In a good way. So applause to Paolo Roversi, for exquisite photos.

The Bank Dance

I am such a big fan of (500) Days Of Summer. It all happened when I watch it on my 10 hours flight back to Malaysia last summer. I figured I paid a fortune for that ticket so why not make the most out of it by watching heaps of movies that if I watch them some other time I might have to pay for it, i.e. rent it, buy it or worse, watch it in the cinema. I am not a super stingy person, to be frank.

Anyho, back to the point. Zooey Deschanel is just such a charmer, in a very cruel way. But I loved it. I want every outfit of the movie in my closet and I am still working towards it. And as a typical OCD, sometimes I just want to learn to dance like that and do whatever things that they do.

So, check out this video, it is somewhat awkwardly vintage in a way. Like how watching Sugartown's mtv gives me chills.

This song makes me feel all excited because I have not been a big fan of contact lenses. I am so glad glasses kind of made a come back! I really should go get a pair of new prescription glasses and look all geeky again. Oh and capture the world! Whee~

The Girl With Glasses

I am very proud of myself today plainly because I woke up early. I had been wrestling with the idea of going to Andrea's vintage sales this morning. Since I did kind of spent a fortune on a fur coat and a wool cardi just a couple of days ago, I should probably freeze my credit card AND my eftpos card like Isla Fisher in Confessions of A Shopaholic. Then I did kind of locked myself up and ended up op-shopping (and NOT op-shopping) and bought a pair of woollen gloves, a vintage waist belt and two pairs of pattern tights. Arghh!!!! What have I done?!

Then again, who can resist the chance of shopping the wardrobe of a vintage blogger who has the most impressive pieces in Christchurch WHEN IT'S ON SALE! Seriously, nothing was over $50!

So what happened was that I brought $25 dollars with me. Yes, $25 dollars. I started to feel like hitting my head against the wall 5 minutes after stepping into Andrea's garden. The dresses were my size and wool coats were $30. I contemplated and weighed all the pros and cons and grabbed two items that fits into my teeny weeny budget range.

There were so many things that happened simultaniously in that 2 hours sale. And among them, I met amazing ladies who love vintage clothing (and a fellow classmate)! Brodie was so very kind and offered me a ride back to uni after that.

Anyhow, I am satisfied with the things I got and here is one that I just can't wait to show you guys!

Row Row Row Your Boat...

...Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

I have been out vintage shopping/ thrifting a lot. Voluntarily and involuntarily. Involuntarily because I locked myself out yesterday and had nothing to do so temptation took over. God help me! But then again, all I got was a $5 dollar belt (as seen in picture) and $2 woollen gloves. So it's not that bad. I guess. Oh wait, and those new tights. Okay, maybe it is bad.
