Pushing the limits, seeing the beauty.

Today I’m not gonna talk about fashion on glossywind, lets talk about art instead coz somehow its interrelated with fashion. And also because I love to spend time sitting at Petronas Gallery alone for hours- the peacefulness and space you have with art pieces can actually bring you such tranquillity. Plus, it’s the closest and most accessible art gallery in town. I do wish there are more galleries in KL, so the society can appreciate the beauty of art. I’m currently interested with the work done by artist, Taryn Simon. In her recent work, she explored the limits of photography and produced something that makes us think beyond our comfort zone. She’s a brilliant artist in the sense that she reveals a side of photography that we rarely focus on. Most of us take pictures for the happy memories and leisure but Simon showed to the world how photography can lead to a death sentence of a man- how it is use in the court of justice as evidence. She also revealed to us how human are connected by blood line that leads to many destruction in the world and how all of us desire the same brands of goods which leads to counterfeits. She pushes the limits of photography and creates a whole new dimension- talking about the lines in between the truth and the beauty of photos.

The Fannings

The Olsen twins have a very special place in my heart. But another new duo I’m rather obsessed about currently is The Fannings. I can’t quite figure whether it was those pictures published in W Magazine or those rather quirky, yet funny pictures taken by Terry Richardson that caught my eyes. All I remembered vividly was the interview between Dakota and Oprah talking about her hobby of knitting- my mum told me that she’s gonna be big one day. I guess my mum was right, no doubt about that. Then few years later came dear little Elle doing her thing on movies like she was born an actress and wearing those Chanel dresses like a pro- way beyond her age. So it is a no brainier why Marc chose them as his muse for Marc by Marc Jacobs. Dakota appeared on the perfume advert of Oh, Lola! which is now banned in the UK for being too provocative- something that Marc is known for, hence the BANG! perfume advert.

Despite all the controversial about the Fannings doing things way beyond their age, all I can say is why not? They possess the talent, the beauty, the money, the sources and everything in between. Just like the Olsens, live life to the fullest and do it at a very young age and most importantly do it together with someone you are blood related to. Because when there is no one else to trust, you can always trust your family. Genius- no wonder the Godfather keep it in the family. Haaaah!

Live smart. Look sharp.

"I'm not interested in celebrities. I'm interested in clothes" -Bill Cunningham-

Long before Scott Schuman, Yvan Rodic, Garance Dore & Tommy Tom running around the streets snapping pictures, there’s this one man- the legend known as Bill Cunningham. This 80 years old man is the pioneer of the art in taking street style shots. Anna Wintour worships this man like the God of fashion- “he will take shots of you, 1 snap, 2 snaps or he will ignore you which is death!” Bill was photographing Anna from her teenage years up to now and this has proved to all of us the vision that he always had in introducing the new “it” fashion people. He even introduced to the world, Azzedine Alaia and Jean-Paul Gaultier. He was working with the Times back then, producing photos of individuals with interesting style and pretty much gave the license that it is possible to take snaps of the New York aristocrats without their permission. At some point, everyone wants to be a part of his amazing archives- pushing the limits in order to get Bill’s attention. 

Quite the opposite- Bill leads a life which is simple and full of humanity. All he wears most of the time is that infamous electric blue laboratory coat with a camera around his neck, cycling around the Big Apple looking for the next person to take shots of. Yet another peculiar characteristic- which by now makes me realize that this “people” who pushed the envelope and creating the generation that we are today has little to affiliate with actually “wearing” fashion. Many of Bill’s work are not produced and kept-safe in his studio. Imagine having the honour of going through his personal archives, it would probably be mined blowing- seeing how street style evolved over the years. This man had seen it all. Now we know it is compulsory for us to watch the documentary about him, produced by Richard Press and from the trailer Bill is indeed a very interesting person and a perfectionist.

What Is Normal?

It kills me at times that people worship Lady Gaga as the no.1 trendsetter. Just because I have a different believe about it- which makes me a bit bias. But the reality is Daphne Guinness the heiress of the Guinness Family has long been collecting rare haute couture pieces made by renowned design legends and rocking it on daily basis way before Gaga. And in fact Gaga was channeling Daphne in her video Bad Romance. Daphne personifies the art of fashion effortlessly, wearing exotic pieces by Alexander McQueen like her second skin. So there is no doubt why she has captured the intention of the media and other fashion designers for numerous times. She makes fashion look easy and make us have faith that it is possible to run in those 10-inch Alien McQueen heels on the street while waving for a cab.

Daphne is an individual who takes the elements of her surrounding, the art of living and the beauty of fashion and incorporate it in her daily life. She takes into account the exquisite details that we seldom pay attention to. And it is portrayed well in the video made by Nowness- capturing on how she looks the world. Hence, the title called Daphne’s Window. Although she’s being called eccentric by many, she still feels like a normal individual living her life just like the others. As an artist ,Daphne is undeniably a genius in capturing every component of life and celebrating it in all of her work.

From The Shelf #2

Let's talk about detox today. Just like the body, our hair do need detox every now and then so that it will stay clean and healthy. Some people detox their hair once or twice a week. I try to detox it twice a week. Detoxing sounds a bit difficult but its actually simple. All you need to do is buy a detox shampoo and you're good to go. Some French women even clean their hair with Evian at least once a week which can be a bit ridiculous for us since Evian can cost a lot, unlike Sea Masters, if you know what I mean. Lol. But what the French girls do, we want to do it too ;)

Item 2: Toni & Guy mini Detox Shampoo (RM 8+) 

So what is a detox shampoo? Its just a simple shampoo. But it cleans your hair til the roots and it leaves no residues behind. We can get residues due to other shampoos that we used, hair spray and any other kind of chemicals that we put onto our hair. So leaving behind residues will cause build-up that will end up making our hair dull and oily- especially at the center part. Just with one time of using this detox shampoo, I can feel the difference and my hair feels super clean. Once again, Watson offers mini bottles for a lot of the shampoos they are selling. Therefore, you can try it first and not waste your money on a huge bottle in case if you don't like it. For me this is the best detox shampoo that I've tried and I already bought the 2nd bottle. Since you using it twice a week, you don't need the huge bottle anyways.

Item 1: Ellips Hair Vitamin for Shiny Black Hair (RM8+)

After using the Toni & Guy Detox Shampoo, I'll apply this hair vitamin on my damp hair. It comes in capsules form and I usually use 1 capsule at one time. The texture of this hair vitamin is very thick, sticky and a bit oily so do not apply on your scalp or anything, just concentrate on the center part of your hair til the tip. It will absorb quite fast, once your hair is fully dry (naturally, no hair dryer). I love it coz it gives my hair the shine and maintain my original black hair colour. But they do have other choices for other types of hair such as normal, coloured and damaged. I usually use this twice a week, every time I detox my hair.

From the shelf #1

This will be my first time posting about beauty products and I hope it will continue in the future. So, you dolls let me know if you like it! :) I bought few items from Sephora and Elianto yesterday and I 'll give my review for each items below.

1st item: Sephora Hair Detox Spray (RM 49)

I've been into all this detox plan for my hair lately coz it makes my hair soft and super clean. I do have a detox shampoo but I'll write about it later. For now lets talk about this detox spray. I used it twice already for now and I love it. I have a sensitive scalp and this mite be my answer to less oily and a healthier scalp.Its easy to apply, just spray it to your damp scalp after shampoo. And it would leave this fresh minty feel on your scalp. So if you have issues with your scalp too, I'll suggest you this. Coz I know scalp treatment at salons cost big bucks- hard to maintain.

2nd item: Soap & Glory Shea Butter, mini tub (RM 17)

A MUST BUY! I'm so hooked with this butter. I think I'm gonna buy the huge tub very soon. It sinks to your skin like silk and it smells so nice. The smell of this butter leaves in your skin like forever (I'm serious) and it moisturize very well, almost like a life saver for dry skin. The scent of it reminds me very much of Dior Cherie. I like the idea when beauty products are made in mini sizes coz it allows you to try it first and of course so easy to travel with. Plus, you can always re-fill this mini tub with more butter once you buy the huge tub- genius!

3rd item: Sephora Mini Travel Brush Set (RM 39)

Again I don't like to bring huge-ass brushes around. So this goes perfectly in my make-up bag. The set consists of 5 brushes all together- a blusher brush, an eyebrow brush and 3 eye-shadow brushes in different shapes.

4th item: Elianto Liquid Eyeliner in Dark Brown (RM22)

This is my 3rd time buying Elianto eyeliner. It goes without saying, definitely my all time fav liquid eyeliner. It stays on for hours and so easy to take it off. I love the tip brush coz its thick and easy to apply and the dark brown colour blends very well with our Asian skin. With that price its a stealer!

Laduree is Love, Love is Laduree. 

If you really wanna feel like you're in "the zone" when you are in Paris do go to Laduree at Champs-Elysees and have a tea time there. Haha. But for real it's no joke. It mite burn your wallet a bit but the experience will be out of the world. I've been wanting to share this with all of you but again I had no time (lame excuse I know. Lol.). I love the interior design of Laduree, oh well it has been there for years and years. It has this exquisite French art decor, all silver lining and effortless. I had Marie Antoinette tea and some macaroons. I give 10/10 for the tea and 7/10 for the macaroons (coz I've tasted better ones in Geneva). It's like a disgrace me giving them 7 points for their famous macaroons but its too sweet for my liking. The pastries look like it just felt from heaven- finely done. I had a croissant and its the kind that melts in your mouth (to be honest, any cafes in Paris sells amazing croissant). I guess that's all for now. Laduree is love, love is Laduree x

Turning 23

Alhamdulillah with all the blessing, I'm now 23 and still looking forward for what life has to offer. Had a super good time with my family and friends yesterday celebrating moi birthday :) I was smiling like a little kid when my mum and my aunt surprise me with the little cute birthday cake with LV monograms all over. It's so pretty, that I don't even have the heart to cut and eat it. Hahaha.

I got an early birthday gifts from my mum, my aunt, my uncle and my grandma this year. Therefore, I got the green light to shop till I drop in Europe. And the evidence of it is on the 2nd pic below. Lol. Plus, a bucket full of H&M goodies which is missing from the pic. All together I'm grateful and amazed by all the love I received. Thank you :)

2011-06-07T14:52:00.002+08:00

Young & Reckless.

I'm super excited that I'm going to 3 major festivals around Europe- Lovebox Fest in London, Montreux Jazz Fest in Montreux & Paleo Fest in Nyon. The list of performances kinda blew my mind, even I can't believe it myself. It goes a bit like this- Lykke Li, Jessie J, The Drums, Katy B, Santigold, Paolo Nutini, The Strokes...etc..I'm so excited, sometimes when I wake up in the morning I jump around and smile alone. Lol. I hope the crowd is banging mad coz I wanna go crazy all nite long and go all hyper with Red Bulls. I'm going to put all my stress of 4 years in Law School out. Oh yeah!

2011-05-26T18:26:00.005+08:00

Turn on the flare.
At one point skinny jeans is an everyday staple. So everyone kinda make it hipster-ish cool. But one uncool fact is skinny doesn't necessarily look good on any figure. Therefore, I pray for the flare to come back in style and I guess it is finally here! One very true fact bout flare jeans is it looks good on any figure. It hugs on all the right places and it makes your legs look miles long. I'm a curvy girl so I'm the happiest to know that flare is the new skinny. Lots of fashionista been spotted wearing it. I must say all look tres chic (I've been using this word a lot. Maybe coz I think I sound french or something..Lol). When you put it on, think Donna from That 70's Show/Jane Birkin. Hippie goddess!

2011-05-25T12:16:00.004+08:00

An honest apologize.
I know its been really really long since I last updated this blog. I've been super busy with a lot of stuff in my life. Now uni is over and so does a lot of other things in my personal life. I have to say since, I live passionately, I love passionately. Hence, the lost of inspiration for the longest of time I've ever experienced. I hate when I write something with zero heart in it. So I thought its better to not write at all. Today, I'm here apologizing to all you dolls out there. I'm still trying to put my own 2 feet back to the ground and face the reality. I guess I've been running away from a lot of things lately. But afraid not, I can feel the passion to write bout fashion will very soon start to ignite back. However, be ready for sad gloomy stories from me too. I'm just trying to cope up with the pain and damn its not easy this time around.

2011-04-02T01:33:00.003+08:00

Are you ready to be unfolded?
I know its been awhile since the last time I updated glossywind. Been super busy working on a new blog known as The Unfolded with another friend of mine. We've been running around to take shots of people that we'll feature in the new blog. Below is the teaser for it and more coming your way soon. We're super excited and hope you dolls are too! Do follow us on twitter and like us on Facebook too.

Put a ring on me
Accessorize well and you'll never be boring. I'm a true believer that you could just wear jeans and t-shirt but with the right jewelry, you'll stand out- preferably rare and unique pieces. One of my favorite jewelry designer is Meredith Khan. Her collections are literally to die for. She's an amazing designer with exquisite taste and style. But what's important is the amazing pieces that she created, that translate individuality at its best.

(source: Refinery 29)

I'm in love with all of her jewelry pieces but I would go gaga for her mesh gauntlet rings. Just capital amazing! You can browse through her entire collection at Made Her Think.

Hold 'em tight
"Over-sized what? Handles? Handbags? Everyday bag? What bag? Sorry, I don't understand. Oh are you referring to my clutch? Yes I clutch now, I hold 'em tight." -the 'it' girl-

Its pretty obvious from runways and to the streets, that everyone is no longer spotted with over-sized handbags. Clutch is how we role now. Even a bag with handles is carried around as a clutch. Say hello to this new chic invention.

InTrend Mac 2011
I hope its not too late to post this. I would like to thank the InTrend magazine team for featuring this blog in the "50 Blog Malaysia Pilihan InTrend" column. Its such and honour to be chosen among other great blogs. This definitely motivates me to keep on blogging in the future. So do drop by more often dolls!

Monday Blues
Models walking down the runway at Prada A/W 11 holding handbags as if they are holding clutches (despite the handles). And this fact is once again made obvious at Paris Fashion Week. So dolls do take note. No doubt clutch is the new "it" bag. Making its wave from the colourful Hermes Jige Elan Clutches to the ever famous electric blue Celine clutch. Taylor Tomasi (among many others, including Grace Coddington) was spotted running around during fashion week, holding the blue clutch faithfully. Its too electrifying not to notice her rocking it.

Peek-A-Boo

After reading a post by SPTNKSWTHRT today, I decided to share what's in my bag with you. So here it goes.

Longchamp le pliage- I'm using it to chuck everything in coz I carry lots of stuff with me everyday. Make-up bag- I don't have a proper make-up bag, really. So I used this beanie bag I got from Jaspal after I purchased an item over there (I think its a necklace).Moleskine- my life is more organized with it. Being in law school has forced me to have a proper book for my everyday life and to schedule everything. I write, I doodle, I even do collage in it. Accessorize pencil case- I have every stationary essentials in there, from a glue to a sharpener. Search-A-Word puzzles- I'm addicted to it, thanx to my friend Faradiana. So you'll probably end up seeing me being an anti-social outside, searching words. Nocturnes by Kazuo Ishiguro- the current novel I'm reading. Ray Ban Aviator- One of my precious treasure in the bag coz its my dad's fav sunglass. I feel like bringing a piece of him with me everyday. I-pod shuffle- I can't live without music.Coco Chanel Mademoiselle EDT- I'm addicted to perfumes and often change according to my mood but this one has been in my bag for weeks. Scrunchy- got it from a super cool shop at axis atrium. Its my secret to have a wavy hair. Coach purse- Its small but means a lot to me. House key- don't want to be lock outside of the house, do we. Johnson & Johnson calming lotion- I just adore the smell!

2011-01-25T00:35:00.003+08:00

See the beauty in the the nightmare.

Mugler by Nicola Formichetti Menswear F/W 11 is my favourite by far. This kind of creativity in fashion makes life worth living. The whole collection and the video are extraordinarily breathtaking.

2011-01-23T11:09:00.003+08:00

The other twin.
Hey dolls. Due to the fact that I'm in my final year, I have very limited time to update Glossywind (but not to worry, I still update this blog whenever I can). So, I turned to tumblr because I can update it even when I'm on the go via my blackberry. It's a collection of my favorite photos, quotes, some of poems written by famous people and not so famous people a.k.a me and other type of nonsense that I come up with. If you want to waste your time and read my mind in a graphic way, then click the pic below. And feel free to ask anything on it too xx

Like a dream.
So here's the thing, when you bump into pieces of jeweleries that are so beautiful that it appears in your dreams, you blog bout it. Therefore, here I am typing on what I think about the Oui ring & the Boise De Rose collection by Dior. Its crazily gorgeous- subtle, simple and full of sophistication. It would look great with any outfit. I WANT!!!!! Everytime I stumble upon a pic of a person wearing all the rings, I feel like crying. Its just sooo delicate...

P/s: I'm decorating my room at the moment. Its a huge mess but I'm super excited coz I'm getting my build-in wardrobe. Super dope! I love you mama! I will update you beautiful people soon.

2010-12-17T08:30:00.004+08:00

The art of modesty.
Maysaa fashion show @ Solaris Dutamas was amazing! Love all the new collection and the long lengthy skirts and dresses are to die for. Hana Tajima is so gorgeous and talented and I knew I had to ask who is her favorite designer and she answered Alexander McQueen! HA~ More reasons to love her! Besides that, I just love Yuna's voice and she sang Decorate live, couldn't be more happier! Met lots of beautiful people and most of them are in hijabs (they are so inspiring!) Overall, it was a nice day. A day spend with my best friends, admiring fashion and a room full of lovely hearts!
(My pics are not of the best quality but got few shots)

(I was wearing: Maxi dress- Naf Naf, Slip on- Topshop, Belt- Zara, Wedges- Nine West, Clutch- Dorothy Perkins)

2010-12-13T22:00:00.003+08:00

Change Clothes
It was such an honor to worked with the backstage team and also Andrew Modeling's team. Chaos is the word to describe the situation. From tagging the shoes, changing ze models clothes to making sure that they look perfectly runway ready- wasn't an easy task but the truth is I had so much fun. Tinie ze 2009 model of the year was superbly nice and down to earth. Had a lovely chat bout her experience at the Chanel headquarters in Paris and other random topics (including law...YES.lol). She's one lovely lady and another one to add is Maggie Abang Saufi. Oh well, I was surrounded by awesome women <3

2010-12-11T14:39:00.002+08:00

There's a fire starting in my heart.
Adele is sooooooo beautiful. I can't stop watching her. Amazing song and video. Thanx Adele for singing it out loud.

2010-12-11T14:01:00.004+08:00

Nobody knows, Nobody sees, Nobody but me.
I have problems showing my emotions. So what do I do? I make myself busy. Thanx to my family & friends. Forever I'm grateful for all of you lovely hearts, alhamdulillah.

p/s: I'm going to work backstage tomorrow with ze models. Super stoke! I'll keep you beautiful people update soon. Wish me luck!

2010-12-08T20:46:00.004+08:00

Love is in the air.
People who knows me personally are fully aware of my undying addiction to perfumes. I'm in constant search of the perfect fragrance that not only have a mixture of heavenly beautiful scents but also embodies a unique character to it. My vanity shelf is full with different perfumes that I love and adore but my current obsession is Chloe by Chloe. Simply because its one of the most feminine scent ever created- soft and subtle.

So, its a no surprise as to why I'm so much in love with the new Chole perfume, 'Love'. Its a blend of heliotrope flower, pink pepper, orange blossom, iris, talc, musk and rice powder. The scent is radiant and feminine. The perfumers Louise Turner, Nathalie Cetto-Gracia and Daniela Andrier have created a perfume that smells so vintage but still keeps the floral and clean aspects that are typical of Chloe.

2010-12-08T12:13:00.011+08:00

The quote to hold on to.

"Patience and simplicity are the reasons why even in the saddest of  times, we smile. Even in confusion, we understand. Even in betrayal, we  trust. And even in pain, we love."

2010-12-04T21:44:00.002+08:00

Call on the sexy navy!
I adore how she plays with the color blue and also the camel tone. Very put together but yet still simple. And the navy blue Le Pliage, can't wait for mine to arrive from ze Swiss (thanx to zaty). Look how she hangs that thing at the leather strap, the pearl earring, the Rayban, the bangles- gotta love all the little details she adds to the outfit!

2010-10-16T15:58:00.005+08:00

Safe the earth, ride a bicycle.
The one thing that I could never understand (apart from add maths)is how on earth do you cycle in sky creeping high heels and still look all amazing? I SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW HOW!!

When talking about cycling, high heels and fashion show, only one name pops up in my mind- Catherine Baba (2nd, 3rd, 4th pic).NO ONE can come close to her when it comes to cycling with style. She's the one who is responsible for making cycling so chic. And others who follows her either look equally chic or just plain copy cat. And honestly, Olivia Palermo(1st pic) just looks like a copy cat(no offense to her fans) But come on, her riding on a bicycle...for real?!! I bet you she just wanna look cool like Baba. Shame on you Olivia.

2010-10-16T15:26:00.005+08:00

You and me, we'll never know.
I love minimalism! I'm a true believer when it comes to "less is more". And I personally think that Celine executed the minimal look beautifully. But I've noticed that lately other designers are channeling it too and honestly Chloe Spring 2011 collection reminds me of Celine Spring 2010 collection.

Below are pictures of Chloe S11 and Celine S10. If all of the pieces were to be put on one rack, I might actually believe that it came from the same designer. You agree?

2010-10-16T14:54:00.005+08:00

Sunny yellow day.
Just when I thought that I would not see anything crazy anymore and all ready for fall/winter collection, Stella McCartney pulled out an outfit that looks like Donald Duck(1st pic). The only thing missing was a duck's beak, if not it would be a great costume for this coming Halloween. We should all go Disney Mania like that.

Then came the most talked about print among the Editors after the show. A collection of outfits that remind me of my grandma's 60's table cloth. I guess MAYBE the blouse and pants(2nd pic) are good to go for a sunny day picnic time, sipping lemonade and pretending like everyone loves your outfit....MAYBE...

2010-10-11T05:40:00.007+08:00

Give the monkeys some bananas.
Oh well, everyone seems to have different views about Prada Spring 2011 collection. Its either you get it or you don't. Its a bit too overwhelming for me to see bold prints of bananas mix with flowers and monkeys together with handbags that somehow kinda remind me of Sesame Street's cookie monster stuck inside- trying to breathe. No offence Miuccia but I'm just being honest.

Ok lets start with what I loathe the most- its the fitting for some of the tops (especially the 3rd pic below), totally doesn't compliment the body and the odd weird print is just adding to the whole horror. But I do adore the combination of the monkey top with the pink stripes skirt (2nd pic)- out of all, those 2 piece make sense to me (although it does remind me of that high bloated cat in Alice in the Wonderland). And who better to make it practical and wearable in the real world, other than Shala Monroque (1st pic). She wore it with the banana skirt which kinda add a bit of humor to the whole outfit(monkeys...bananas...got it?! LOL). Told ya that monkey top make sense out of all.

P/S: Thank God, there was no manggis, durian, rambutan & duku langsat on Miuccia's inspiration board...coz if not, it would be more bizarre! I can only imagine..LOL!

2010-09-27T22:47:00.004+08:00

Drew-licious.
Lately, her take on fashion is very interesting- gorgeously put together. Worth obsessing over.
P/S: Aliff luv, this is for you ;)

2010-09-25T21:56:00.002+08:00

The sun, moon and stars.
Awesome prints and the combination is superb. Taylor Joanna, I adore you.

2010-09-19T23:31:00.002+08:00

Coz she keeps it real
Whitney port and her cute collection. She's my favorite reality show girl.

2010-09-18T01:25:00.002+08:00

Pure and innocent.
She is sooooooo beautiful. Gotta love her simplicity and that gorgeous smile. And also her hairdo!

2010-09-16T11:56:00.002+08:00

I'm not a fan of colours.
I love their black lipstick and how they play with lengths.

One happy kid.
At last, I got my BB! Hehe :)

He is a genius.
No matter what, I still adore Rick Owens and his designs. Its just amazing.

When beauty is unlimited.
This post is a dedication to my dear friend, Arni. Just because gap tooth girls are so cool.

That smell of swagger, floating in the air.
Black on black on black- no one does it better than Kate Lanphear. I love this woman too much! Wait, it's more like an obsession.

Flowers in the garden.
I love how she wears denim on denim and I adore her simplicity. Sometimes less is definitely more.

Its the flare.
Rachel is so pretty!

Happiness is a warm gun.
I'm overly obsess with Sky Ferreira at the moment. Can't stop playing her songs and she just ooze coolness in her own way. And OMG her hair is to die for!!! I think I wanna marry her.

2010-08-14T06:51:00.002+08:00

Raaawwwrrrr!
The forever sexy Jared Leto. I just can't help it. Hahahaha! Ok I'll behave. Bye.

Tell tales out of school.
Lately, law school is eating me alive! I have no time to do anything other than law related stuff. OMG! But I'm still in search of inspiration so that I will not die of boredom. Saw below pic of Pamela Love's mood board. And now I know why her jewelery line is so kick-ass. She is undeniably a genuinely creative person. Sometimes I wish I can be like her- talented and RRAAWWWWR! Lol.

One may cry for more, I'll cry for black.
Yes, for those who have been reading my blog, you might already know I am obsess with the color black, I am also into cool cuts clothes and quirky accessories. And I am in love with Rad Hourani. He'll be having his exhibition during June till July this year, and I'll kill to go and witness his out-of-the-world gorgeous designs. Yes, I am crazy like that.

Her space, her freedom.
Yes, I'm one of those lame people who cares what other people's house looks like. There's no better way to understand a person's personality than from her/his style of dressing up and also their personal space i.e home. Lou Dillon's personal space, just kinda speaks for itself, amazingly beautiful.

The price of youth.

She's 18 but Lucie Malbequi's vision on photography is way mature than her adolescent age. With the love for art and all the beauty it offers, Lucie is currently experimenting with lights and trying her best to capture the innocent spirit of youth. Her flickr offers a variety of pictures and from its view, all I have to say is just pay attention to this French girl. She's here to stay.

2010-07-19T01:30:00.008+08:00

I don't do fake, just because I have better things to do.

It has has been awhile since I last visited this blog. Mainly because I decided to switch to tumblr and ditch this blog but somehow the level of satisfaction is different and I kinda miss writing my rubbish on this blog. Lol. So here's the thing, I survived 3 years of law school. Haha. Don't ask me how coz I have no answer. I'm in my final year now and it feels all weird. This is gonna be my last take to enjoy uni life and be young and reckless and just couldn't be fuck with anything.

Two things random that I just have to get out of my head are, I kinda miss my undercuts and I wanna go picnic and be all weird on the green grass but I am living in Malaysia you know, 10000000 degree boiling temperature. Nice! And oh yeah, welcome juniors to law fac.I wanna go back home after class a.s.a.p! Pronto!

Chocolate & Mint Ice-cream.
Hey hey,finally after a year of crazy workloads and stress during my 3rd year in law school, I can now rest and enjoy life! So many things I'm looking forward for at the moment, from hangin' out with frens, BBQ, good live music and Urbanscapes. Hope you dolls out there are having a blast too.
My Summer dream list would be:
1)Head scarfs
2)Wayfarer
3)Maxi dress
4)Ice- cream
5)Miu Miu Summer/Spring 2010 adorable shoes!

Sunday Manic.
I will continue making this post every Sunday in a week. I will just put up random photos that I found in the internet and turn it as an inspiration. Hope you enjoy. Happy weekend bitches!

There's no guarantee that this life is going to be easy.
My life is going to be one hell of a roller coaster ride this few weeks. From the crazy long hours of classes, the test, the final exam to the project paper and other complicated stuff, I just need some strength to go trough all of it.

2010-03-22T13:19:00.005+08:00

Own this and I'm happy.
Thanx to Muz for letting me know about Dazed & Confused April 10 issue. The front cover featured the XX, the new band that I'm currently obsess with. I need to get this mag a.s.a.p but I'm too sick to go out. I'm stuck at home having fever and I'm not suppose to blog. I need to rest, yeah yeah I know. I'm feeling all drowsy now due to the meds. So, folks I wish all of you a happy week ahead..toodles.

2010-03-18T22:25:00.003+08:00

As fresh as an orange.
"A magazine for girls like you?" That's the description of this magazine called BABY BABY BABY. The girls referred by the mag are those who just don't give a fuck about life and don't conform with others. Their individuality define who they are. They are siren of trouble but only fight for freedom. Sounds all together like a brilliant mag but too bad its not on the newsstands over here. But worth knowing, coz this type of mag define beauty and fashion with a different view- nothing that follows the norm of life.

2010-03-18T11:42:00.004+08:00

Got no friend, Got no lover.
So, I went to Placebo's concert on wednesday. It was kinda meant to happen, as I had no intention to go but at the very last minute one of my fren backed off, left with an extra ticket (thanks faradi)and my trust test was cancelled- AWESOME! It was one of the best live performance I've ever been to (considering how little live performances in M'sia, its just pathetic really). Anyways, I must say that Placebo is one of the hottest gays I've seen in my life.. LOL. But seriously! Brian Molko was right infront of my eyes and I still feel as if it was all just a dream (I told you, I'm deprive of good live music, so please bare with me). The most exciting part is the fact that the crowd was crazily fun bunch of people. Almost all of them dressed up like a rockstar. Leather and black never look that good. Finally, I felt like I was among the right people.

HOLY SHIT!!!!

2010-03-15T15:15:00.005+08:00

Beyond words.
With all the buzz about fall fashion 2010, I think its time for me to talk about it. Haider Ackermann F/W 10 collection is stunningly amazing!The structured jackets, sexy slits and rolling/folded collars are crafted to the finest. It is just incredible. My favorite Fall collection for 2010 so far!

2010-03-15T09:10:00.009+08:00

Cause it still feels like a dream.
Here's a peek of Gareth Pugh's A/W 10 collection. He is one of my favorite designer, and will always be. His designs gave me goosebumps last time when I was at his runway show. Even the thought of standing and shaking his hand feels so unreal. He is such a sweetheart and of course forever a genius.

2010-03-14T17:06:00.006+08:00

Puckerman!
I hate series, I don't like to watch it or follow it religiously. I just don't like to watch too much drama of other people. And yes I don't watch Gossips Girls, I just think its pathetic(no offence tho). Over the past years, my brain can only tolerate with F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Everbody Loves Raymond. I guess I only enjoy funny and fun series. So, that is why I just can't stop wathcing Glee. I know I shouldn't be talking about boys too much on this blog but Puckerman stole my heart when he sang Sweet Caroline. His hair do is also damn hot..well, he is hot as a whole. Lol. YES I LIKE TO GO GAGA OVER HIM..HAHA!

2010-03-13T13:46:00.003+08:00

Today is a messy braid hair day.
Rad Hourani is one of the creative designer that I just adore. He is a color-phobic designer and therefore it explains why all of his collections are in black. And being a color-phobic myself, he is just a genius to me. Hahaha. Another interesting fact is that, his designs are genderless. I think it takes a creative mind to think how to make clothes unisex. Its about the silhouette, the layering and the flexibility that can make clothes genderless and its undeniable that Rad executed it brilliantly. The good news is his more affordable line will be out online soon and its called RAD. Awesome!

2010-03-13T13:08:00.005+08:00

In this game of yours.

There are 2 things that I'm so interested in. One is of course fashion and another is interior design. Why? Well both of these aspects let us express our individuality and personality. I'm always obsess with wanting to know and to have a peek inside of creative people's personal space. It kinda give you a glimpse of their personal style. So today let us look at Taylor Tomasi Hill's chic crib in NY. This Marie Claire editor has always been an envy of mine. What not to be jealous, from the so perfect red hair, an endless collection of Rick Owens, the ability to be edgy and feminine at the same time and she lives in the concrete jungle a.k.a fuckin' NEW YORK. Her personal space is a brilliant combination of herself- clean, fresh and quirky at the same time. Oh well, don't hate the player, hate the game. So they say. Pictures via refinery 29.

2010-03-12T14:37:00.005+08:00

Basic Space.

Its been awhile...again...I know. I am such a bad blogger but the workloads are just unbearable. Lame excuse again- putting the blame on my work. But its the ugly truth. Anyways,I think its cool to drink iced lemon tea straight from a bottle with the word 'Topshop' on it. Too cool, it makes other iced lemon tea taste lame. Lol. And this women in this black dress, with all these layering.. Hmmmm..So where should I start? Its one of those combination that makes me go 'OMG!' From the color black, to the killer heels, to the layering- everything is just wow! I'm seriously loving it, one of the best style for this week. Plus, yes peeps it is true, I did went and slope my hair. So, I'm half bald now. Hahaha. Went and did it with Farrah but hers is not as short as mine. I still feel like I'm jeopardizing half of femininity but at the same time I can't deny that I actually love it :)

2010-02-20T11:30:00.003+08:00

No more glitter in the air.
Have you ever thrown a fistful of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face and said I just don't care?

Pop stars make me sick.
I admit that I've been a bad blogger. But I'm too occupied with my work at law school- too many things to do, so little time. I'll try my best to update the blog more frequent after this. Anyways, I love this women on the street. Well you would probably know why I love it by now and yes its because of the black. I adore people with the capability of wearing black on black but looks so chic. Loving the fur jacket and the boots, simply gorgeous. Picture is taken via stylesightings.

2010-01-10T14:59:00.003+08:00

This is what I want for 2010.
I'm all crazy for the Mulberry Alexa Bag in tan colour. It's perfect to chuck in everything and it is so damn gorgeous!

2010-01-05T00:57:00.002+08:00

I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me.
I'm back in KL now. My short New Year vay-kay was awesome. Had a great time with my craziest best frens from high school. It was overall, a wicked weekend for me. Just one hell of a good time. But got sicked when I'm back home.

I decided to put up a few pictures of me and some of my guy frens. We were on our way to Hard Rock Cafe for our dinner and the waiting list was endless, so we had to wait for a few minutes. End up playing around taking shots as if we are being hunt by paparazzi. It was damn hilarious! I laughed from the beginning till the end. I still laugh every time I look at the pictures.

2009-12-30T21:45:00.004+08:00

Sometimes I dunno if I'm giving way too much until it hurts.
2009 has been quite a journey. But all I can say is fuck what others think of you, you just do your thing and have no regrets. Happy New Year in advance to all. Cheers!

Those Rodarte boots are crazzzzzzzy! OMG! I know! Lol. Picture courtesy of Jak & Jil.

Swirling black lilies totally ripe.

I am super busy- no time to update the blog. Anyhow, been listening to Bjork a lot lately. This song is currently in repeat mode on my itunes. I love how disturbingly beautiful this video is and she is wearing Alexander McQueen wedding dress and she looks gorgeous in it. Well, she is one hell of a stunning Icelandic!

2009-12-23T15:14:00.004+08:00

Ok, I'm super busy this week. I have Public International Law assingment which is stil pending, Sieg Magazine stuff which is due this weekend and Uni is starting soon. What the hell?? Are you freakin' serious?? It's this Monday. OMG!! No way!! T_T

I've always been a collector of quirky and bold accessories coz its just fun. So, meet Hannah Martin a jewelery designer based in London. Look at the ring and necklaces. Insanely hot! I want all of it!!

2009-12-22T22:18:00.004+08:00

A shade of gray.
Had a great day today thanx to dear Farrah for stopping by at my house. It feels like old times when our young bloods did nothing but just laughed at everything and worried about nothing.

Gareth Pugh will always be my favorite designer. He never fails to make me go 'wow'. Below are shots from his S/S 10 runway show. Pictures via dazed digital.

Love is innocent.
I know you probably have seen Ladygaga rocking some of the sunglasses made by Steveiboi. But oh my, just how wickedly awesome are they!

2009-12-17T23:21:00.006+08:00

Welcome to Lindsay's Private Party.

I'm back in KL but currently busy trying to finish up my assignment, SiegMagazine stuff and going out with frens before everyone off back to uni.

This video directed by Yu Tsai for MUSE magazine is just super hot and beautiful. It's inspired by the romance between Johnnny Depp and Kate Moss in the early 1990's. Dark, sexy and mysterious- effin' brilliant!

2009-12-13T09:50:00.004+08:00

Out, out and about.
I'm going off for a holiday at the beach. Chucking all of my stuff to the bag at the moment- very me, doing things at the very last minute. Lol. So, behave and take care dolls.
What am I listening to? New Moon Soundtrack on repeat mode. Not that I'm cheesy(despite the fact that I went and watch it 3 times),the soundtrack is just heaven. Picture below taken from Viktor Vauthier.

2009-12-12T18:56:00.003+08:00

So, I dream.
Another theatrical performance by Theo Adams Company. If only I can go and watch it! I've always love all the work done by Theo Adams, especially for i-D Magazine. He is truly a genius- with a vision like no others.

2009-12-12T13:03:00.003+08:00

Meow Meow Rawww.
Tonite i'll be meeting my favorite people at Pavilion, tomorrow i'll be going for a vaykay- oh hello beach(woooohooo)and next Saturday i'll be going out with my dearest best fren to a wedding (weird that young blood like us are getting married...why?? why???).

I love Peaches Geldof. So quirky, so interesting. Pictures taken from Thecobrsnake.

2009-12-12T11:16:00.005+08:00

Kill me.
Just woke up and decided to list down some killer wedges that I would die for. They are just so fuckin' beautiful!!
1) Acne; Atacoma Wedge.
2) Jeffrey Campbell; Black Clinic Wedge.
3) Ashish for Topshop; Leopard Wedge.

2009-12-12T00:50:00.005+08:00

Crispy cream.
So here's the thing, I really think this guy is super gorgeous! Really diggin' the crispy, sharp and tight suit. But on second thought, I don't like clean cut face kinda guy- it would be great if he has a more scruffy face, a bit of rockstar attitude and wearing the same suit. That is more my type of guy..very ohh la la..LOL. Anyways, Mr. Newton, u did a great job.

2009-12-11T21:55:00.003+08:00

Is it too much to ask you to be around more often?
I'm damn bored today, did absolutely nothing. I need a fuckin' new handphone. I always want to shave a small part of my hair- mainly just for fun and I think it would look awesome with any outfit but I don't have the guts..yet! Alice Dellal rock the look like no one else. She is just effin' gorgeous!

Wanna follow us on twitter?
I have to say the idea put forward in Vogue Italia Dec 09 by Steven Miesel is major brilliant! With all the hip of tweeting, everyone can relate with all of the photos and not to mention also the status updates. The shots are all fun, fun, fun.

2009-12-05T17:21:00.002+08:00

Damn Girl!
OH MY GOD to all those gorgeous accessories! Studded headband by Givenchy- damn! (picture taken from Jak & Jil).

2009-12-04T13:04:00.002+08:00

Louise Brooks is on my inspiration board this month.

Nothing much to do today. Just wondering around the house and try to find things to do. I do have assignments to do but too lazy to bother. Lol. Going out with my mum and bro later to KLCC- finally something to look forward to.

Ohhh, I love the outfit below. Coolio- just look at the feather skirt, its from Topshop. I think I also saw a feather clutch at Topshop the other day. According to Mr.Newton who shot this piece- it reminds him of feminine in the 20's. Anyhow, I love the person who is rockin' it too, its Scout Willis- one smart cookie she is. Bet she is attending the ivy league (Brown University) with style.

2009-12-03T12:31:00.002+08:00

I'll be your star, you'll be my moon.

For the love of Kate Moss, here are her editorial shots. Her swagger never fade!

2009-12-02T02:44:00.008+08:00

Everyday just gets better and better with you.

Today was an incredible day- nothing boring. I went and watch New Moon again with a few (not all) of my all time beloved people- Muz & Faradi. Well for some reason 3 of us keep on laughing while watching it..LOL. Plus we sang Taylor Swift's fifteen song everytime Taylor Lautner appeared on the screen. Oh God, please forgive us if we did annoy other spectators in the cinema. Hahahahaha. And another cool thing is he text me all nite til now- couldn't be happier :)

We talk, we laugh. Your laughter is like a liquid.
Sorry for the lack of post lately. I will try to put more effort like I usually do but I'm just having this lazy mazy holiday mood at the moment. I had a really good time talking to him for hours during the weekend. He now knows that when ever I said "him" in my blog, I'm actually referring to him. He had to ask for re-assurance. Which I find very cute. Lol. And he likes to google- alooooot.
