Burberry Prorsum FW2012


I envy Garance!!! She was there for Burberry's Fall 2012 runway show!!! Ok well so it is in the line of her business :p But still!!

Anyhu...for this year's fall collection, Christopher Bailey went for a more street chic look rather than his usual London town couture and the verdict --------> Too Awesome!!! (it might be also that I am a little biased to Burberry...but heck it! bluekk!!)

But seriously, all biasness (not sure if this word exists :p) aside, this is a truly amazing collection by Bailey. It's the little details that gets me - the punk bags, the traditional Burberry umbrellas but with studded handles/handles of animal heads (there's a fox head!!), studded gloves etc etc etc...these are what caught my eyes! I want them gloves and umbrellas so badly! Yes, I'm actually covetting the accessories more than the coats or outfits. Don't get me wrong, there were amazing dresses and coats in the collection no doubt but somehow this round, the accessories seems to trump the show! :)

If only I can get my hands on them....

My fav outfit of the bunch - stunning!
Can you spot the Fox head handle!?!?!
Aaahhh Burberry, you never fail to amaze!

DKNY Fall 2012

Okay so I have been waay waaaaaay behind on the latest NY fashion week runway shows!!! Damn you work!!!

Finally found some time to browse through some of my fav designers and their latest creations for Fall 2012. Amazing!

My eyes darted straight to Donna Karan! And oh wow I'm in love with her 2012 collection for Fall. I wish I was living in a seasonal country!!! (I kno I kno, I keep repeating the same thing every single time its fashion week - what can i say, I love the seasons!! :p)

So to sum up Donna Karan - New York High Fashion! Very clean cut urban chic with a NY edge to it. It's sort of like Sherlock Holmes meets, well, meets Donna Karan! Yeahhhhh - awesome! Check them out for yourself:

Love the red and the lines...

Androgenous! *heart*

My favorite piece from the collection...genial!

Amazing colors...


Someday soon, I will be wearing those outfits and some day soon I will have my creations in Fashion Week!

That's How It Is...


'...yes, I will always stand in the rain, so that you may have the shade...'

I read from somewhere that as people, living your lives everyday, we are defined more with the relationships we hold rather than the essence we have within. To which I agree. We tend to sub-consciously mold ourselves to the person we are interacting with. We give and give in so much to those that we hold dear even if that person may not feel the same way. But it doesn't matter. Well to me anyways. People might say, "You're being stupid to spend so much of your time, money and emotion to someone that does not seem to care about you." But how can one define stupidity anyways? I have thought about that question before - every night lately especially...and I always come back to one conclusion - and that is:

"I said I cared. I said I would be there. And these are not just empty words. For, to me, it is a promise I made to you - for better or for worse. And as such, love cannot and will not discriminate even when it hurts or breaks my heart..."

A promise made. That is how I see it. How can you claim to be someone who cares when the instance it gets hard you just jump ship? That's not sincerity. That's just looking for something easy. But nothing (nothing) comes easy.

So that is why, if stupid is what society wants to define it as. Then stupid I shall be. Because I can never break a promise made. Even if it's one I made within me. That is how I see it and that is how I shall live. In pain if necessary so that you know that you can count on me to always be there, to always care...

Ancient Histories...


...whatever happened to promises?...

I'm amazed at how the stories of the ancients could be discovered and retold (to near accuracy) from just fragments of ruined buildings, art, documents and hieroglyphs...history has always fascinated me beyond words - how people hundreds and thousands of years ago lived and died. The thought of it just blows my mind. It's hard to explain because it's more of something that I feel inside - inexplicable truly! :)

It's a Sunday afternoon lazy indulgence - watching, listening, reading and sketching. And if it happens to be something of the past, then how could I say no? Inspiration appears without warning. You just have to take it as it comes :)

PS : Why? What are words if you don't mean them?

Broken


...is it always that my mind likes playing tricks on me? Or is it that my heart just can't decide to stay whole?...

Outside the 16th floor window, fireworks erupted - 12 Midnight and the dark night sky and its silence broke. For a minute it did not seem that sombre. But the minute passed and the night was back to being black again and I continued to stare on picturing what had been...I wonder what was the occassion? In any case, it was a welcomed distraction.

Sometimes I wonder if nothing will ever happen the way we picture or plan it. We think it one way and things happen in another. And just when we think we know what something means, lo and behold, your world turns and you are left wondering if you ever managed to interpret anything at all in your life...

Why is it so hard? Does wanting something or someone to react the way you see in your head seems like something so unperceivable (don't think the word exists does it? :p)? Predicting human emotion and behaviour drains the strength out of me. I'm gasping for air but breathing in fire haha...sigh...

"Don't run into that thorn bush" but...that's where I wanna be. Not because I'm a sick sadist or anything, just that that is where you are...

I've lost count the number of times my heart got broken...and yet every morning I wake up to face the day, to find that smile...

Another Night...


...it's you, it has always been you...I'll love you till the end of time...

Another night alone in the office. Yeah, this has gotta stop and even so, here I am...if everything falls into place then I just might be able to find that spark again...you know that thing that makes each of us light up? Yeah, I think I lost mine somewhere along the way...

PS : I'm off to the races...I'm so crazy, misbehaving...
