Monogram

I'm a big bag fan. I'm a bag lady. Ask my friends, I have no shame in telling you that one of my life's dream is having a swimming pool brimming with bags of all sorts. Then I dive in and emerge ala Ariel from Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' and LV's, B-bags, Kellys and Japanese bags would be flying in the air. Craaaaazy.

So naturally, I blame Khan for this post.

He and I were taking about the unfortunate slashing of his mum's bag that happened to be an LV. I grabbed my hair and squealed NOOO. Because having your bag slashed--double points if it's LV or Rafe-- is horrible.

Now I'm window shopping at eLuxury drooling over LV bags because I'm kind of a social-climbing ukay-whore who just needs a bit of monogram in her life. I'm so over Multicolore I think it's kind of tacky.(But if anyone wants to donate/buy me a Multicolore, go ahead. I'm kind and I appreciate gifts! :D Just make sure it's a BIG bag because tiny bags are kind of eh.) I'm loving Perfo though. In fuschia! :D :D Maybe I should get myself a fuschia Perfo wallet? Hmm...


So cute!

I'm also drooling over a Trouville, the ever classic speedy and the Bucket (I used to think it's really fug, but now I think it's really cute and odd!).

I don't like anything Monogram Denim. It's so pa-chic but I think it's hick and ick. >P

My mum hates anything monogram. She says it reminds her of the bad 80's. The eighties I hate as well. She thinks they're ridiculous, tacky and just BAD. I try to convince her that it's all getting better with more interesting bag structure and treatment. She still says its ugly.

It's amusing to see one of the best designers of all time, Vivienne Westwood, take a sweet fresh and rather mocking spin to monogram.

Monogram anything has this tita/matronly feel to it. It's as if it's a big "HAH!" to everyone who told her she can never be rich. Baka nga yun yung appeal ng monogram bag sakin. Because I want to be rich. Pero I'll never pull a Gretchen. Please.

Villains!

I don't thwart them, I dress them!

For my long due fashion sketchpad:long gowns, I've used Disney movie villains as inspirations/muses. Basically, if the villains were all female, lived in our time and is, obviously, part of the upper crust, what would the wear?

The Queen isn't so hot since she was the first one I recreated, but it gets better I promise! I'm currently loving my Ursula because of the "coral collar" detailing and I love my Anna Wintour/Cruella de Vil hybrid. Bobbed hair and a love for fur! Evil indeed (even though I praise Miss Wintour for her impeccable style. Just ditch the fur!!). My big finale will be Miz Maleficent because she's one gorgeous baddie. I mean, I should have a ball with the dark palette, gothic feel and free flowing evil glam.

I so psyched with this!

Or maybe it's just the coffee.

So far so hum

So the fashion show was a success =. I'm trying to refit Christel's clothes so I can wear it. She's a model and I'm not, so expect a difference in size.

I've been wearing a bit of skirt lately. And not the long goth-y ones, mind. I mean, knee to above-the-knee kinds. I've also purchased a cute gray shirt dress from the Chunky Far Flung Gallery street sale for 20 pesos. Heck, all the clothes were 20 pesos!

I dug up a handsome Gucci men's shirt and thought about buying it. I dismissed it as another men's shirt in my slowly shrinking closet space and tossed it back to the pile. Of course I can't get over the fact that it's an original Gucci in this gorgeous darkdark navy blue-almost black so kept dropping hints (read: told him) to Petter to buy it. After all, it's only 20 pesos! She he picked that up and a jacket with fringes. Bless it that the jacket is too small for him. The shirt, however, is purrfect. I mean it. I asked him to try it when we got home (read: my house) I went *GLEE*. I'll find the perfect opportunity for him to have no choice but wear the shirt. >D >D

Anyway, back to the skirts! Yes, skirts. I care little about my scars (though I expect them to worsen when summer comes around. Heat heat heat!) and I mean, they're there and they're in the process of healing anyway. Besides, I've realised I turned into the shirt and jeans kind of girl which I absolutely dreaddreadDREAD. So I want to come back into my little made up scene looking fasyon and chica.

Mind, I've seen the good side of being a shirt and jeans kind of girl. You're simple and low maintenance. But you can look fashion and low maintenance if you're a shirt dress + salmon pink shrug + black opaque tights + red w/ silver lining flats kind of girl. And the Monokuro Boo bag of my ♥ Feeling ko, ang cute cute ko. Lulz.

After hogging 7 pieces of fabu-finds from the Chunky Far Flung Gallery street sale-- where I got the shirt dress-- (I could have gotten more if I didn't have to eat dinner!) and 2 unique stuff-friends (Pon Pon Pets and Tuhog-kun) I feel the incredi-need to shop. Sure buying something from Mango and Topshop is great (but Brit-topshop would be loads cooler), the subtle seduction of ukay calls out to me. Oh, if only I had the moolah.

I'd have to teach her how to walk in a catwalk and project because she's terribly shy.

I can save it by loving it. Loving it real hard. (Not dirty at all)

Maybe I should subdue the colors para mas-OK siya.

Kind of fug, I know
