designer collabs 2012

Not so secret anymore but I've been secretly 

looking at marni necklaces on ebay next to vintage chanel premier watches in gold+black :)

cos i'm so envious of people who can carryoff a tshirt + skinnies + statemental necklaces 

( read: need to be skinny to pull the above off)

During CNY, my aunt was like " you mean you didn't shop karl for netaporter?" in disbelief cos i'm the kind who would proudly wear a net-a-porter shirt just cos i'm in love with the whole netaporter world

 felt like a real mountain tortoise cos i was so swamped with pre-CNY sales and still,

 that seemed such a lame excuse..

so right about few minutes ago, i checked out  his range and 

that sequinned collar + cotton poplin cameo collar half called out to me

and those color block black and white asymmetrical wedges too..

but i think i can save the $$ and be fine without it 

Above is  Marni x H&M video: directed by Sofia Coppola

love it? love it!
( spot the acrylic chunky must-have bangles & fantastical plastic necklaces yet??)

Behind the scenes: Liuwen is so gorgeous

10th March ( save the date!) is the happy day where we Singaporeans get our chance to queue for circular prints by Marni & H&M
hmmm

i should  bribe pris with my mom's siewyuk to queue with me ;)

i first knew about toe cleavage from this wonderman

"the secret of toe cleavage, a very important part of the sexuality of the shoe" is that "You must only show the first two cracks."

whambam!

  good night :)

more about him here from design museum: http://designmuseum.org/design/manolo-blahnik
“I have the advantage of study,” he told Colin McDowell. “I’ve been studying the art of the shoe… for over twenty years. I know every process. I know how to cut and cut away here (the side of the shoe) and still make it so that it stays on the foot. And the secret of toe cleavage, a very important part of the sexuality of the shoe. You must only show the first two cracks. And the heel. Even if it’s twelve centimetres high it still has to feel secure – and that’s a question of balance. That’s why I carve each heel personally myself – on the machine and then by hand with a chisel and file, until it’s exactly right.”
