OUTFIT | cozy purple

I'm wearing: ralph lauren cashmere sweater, topshop wet-look leggings, converse sneakers, diesel bag

Rose took some photos for me today that have ended up looking very retro. She has such an interesting room btw. Just look!

OUTFIT | nearly headless vick

stefanel dress | american apparel tights | bally shoes | h&m blazer and chocker necklace | leo clutch

An unpublished outfit from Vienna Fashion Week ages and ages ago... or so it seems. It's actually just been a month. But you know. Time feels absolutely non-existent in this bubble i'm living in now.

OUTFIT | band shirt

SHOUT OUT LOUDS BAND SHIRT / HM BLAZER AND FURRY BAG / FRYE BOOTS
/ PRIMARK SNOOD

Playing it simple, utilizing the basics, taking up band shirts again, pretending to be a cowboy in my new boots (THAT I LOVE -OMG- SO MUCH), and having fresher's flu fashionably late. Hope everyone's been doing good; enjoy your sunday!

p.s. what do you think about my new fluffy bag? :D

SHOOT | anna

ph. me

I re-edited this shot from a shoot I did with Anna Millonig last winter. She went on to stunning the agencies in London and Taipei and is doing really great for herself. I can't explain it too well, but there's so much pride in the girls I shoot who go on to make something out of themselves. If you'd like to see the full shoot, click here

NEW IN | the impractical and practical

PRIMARK SHOES / URBAN OUTFITTERS WATCH

I managed to pick up quite a bit in London the other day, but these two are my favorites: an overly glittery pair of lace-ups (can't wait to wear them out in the sun) and a pink-rimmed watch.

PHOTODIARY | london for the day

On Monday I ventured to up to London for the day with Rose, starting off at Camden (surprisingly not so full, although it's easy to imagine the place being absolutely stuffed on the weekends) where we shopped a little, gawked a lot and I ate some unhealthy fast chinese takeaway. Then we speed-walked to the Tate to meet our class and professors. The artwork there is always quite constant, but I found some new pieces that I might use in my next essay. Finally, as an absolutely predictable end to the night, we headed to Oxford Street (after some sushi) and shopped a little at Urban Outfitters and a lot at Primark. Yeah. Uni life is so stressful as you can see.

stefanel denim jacket| zara waterfall cardigan | minnetonka boots | mango bag

Recycling basics like a pro. That's been my life motto for, what, the past 4 weeks (still can't believe its been FOUR. WEEKS.) not only for clothes but also food. It's surprising that there is no edition titled 'How To Be Creative With Leftovers At University' because, dammm, that's gonna be a bestseller.

bathing in pink skies

HM PARKA / CTRL BATWING TOP / WOLFORD TIGHTS / ZARA GOLDEN BAG / BALLY SHOES

The sky was a beautiful pastel pink shade yesterday. It made me feel warm although it was crazy UK-cold. And obviously I'm in a bit of an outfit rut. I can't help it. It's hard to be creative when I have the minimal-est of minimal (and practical) wardrobes.

hey pretty boy

Paul Smith Spring 2012. This collection incorporates everything I'm into right now. The shirt, the pants, the loafers, the blazer, under-accessorized (because I'm lazy like that) and so simple and boyish and to the point.

THE AVANT/GARDE DIARIES

The Avant/Garde Diaries. At first glance it seems to be another digital platform, another online magazine, but on another it is a clean and pristine archive of creative thought and character. Launched by Mercedes-Benz, the site focuses on the avant-garde, obviously, but instead of fixed content by fixed staff, the light is on subjective opinions from contributors within the creative field, asking each to introduce someone or something that they consider to be ahead of their time.

What makes the magazine more than just on the screen is its three-day festivals - hosted in metropolises around the world (the first one in July took place in Berlin), each curated in turn by an expert from the creative industry. So each 'feature' in the magazine actually becomes an actual experience - you can witness what exactly avant-garde for that person means.






So take a look. I'm thoroughly inspired by the innovative people featured. Like Helen Homan Wu (founder of multi-media production agency Opalnest), Julien Hallard (french film director), and Telse Bus (food artist -- i know!). So if you're interested in artistic and creative and individualistic personalities, definitely take a peek at the lives and stories of these people in The Avant/Garde diaries, where each profile page features a cinematic-short-film that in itself is a piece of art. With this, I wish you all a lovely weekend (all rain for me).
