Gareth Pugh Fall 2012 RTW - In other words ; my fashion wet dream.

So everybody I know and who knows me knows that I am OBSESSED with Gareth Pugh. Maybe because most of the time I mention it to them in conversations (Do you NOT DIE for Gareth Pugh FW 2012?!) and I often take the chance to tell it to everybody regardless if it's my friend, dentist or even random showroom people I loan clothes from. Obsession level = Insane.

So when fashion week rolls around and my hunger pangs can only be cured by reports from Style.com, I nearly PISSED myself (Ok that's a bad analogy) when I saw that the pictures from Gareth Pugh F2012 RTW were out. But to be honest, I'm pretty dissapointed. :/ (Cue dramatic music)

You have the essences that make up for a Pugh collection ; Fur, leather, intense drapery and religious iconography but what I felt was lacking as orginality. If you've been following him for a while but even take some time to look at his previous collections, you'd realize that lots of elements were repeated. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he "lifted" some elements of his FW 2012 and Spring 2012. It's ok love, maybe you'll bring something better for the next collection.

Just a lil' intensely low-res sneak peek of what I've been wearing around recently. My new spinal bone harness from OS (Kindly gifted by the OS boys, love you two! <3), my new Izzue drop-crotch pants from Hongkong and shoes from some Hongkong mall! And say hello to my new travel buddy aka Winston the llama. Hahaha we ride hard.

On another note, I'm trying to churn out more outfit posts cause I bought LOTS of shit but work is so tiring and I don't have any chances. BRB TRYNA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY FELLOW INTERNS HAHAHAHA <3 YOU 2.

I heard your voice as clear as day, And you told me I should concentrate.
























As I'm typing this entry (On a total lack of sleep from 2 days of lugging clothing around town), I honestly have no ideas where to begin about my Hongkong trip because of the surge of emotions I felt throughout the trip.

It's one of those feelings you get walking in the light drizzle on the Hongkong night streets with cold wind in your hair, street lights twinkling as you wince from the cold and meandering around a crowd of people. It's both hauntingly beautiful and brings you into a whole other world ; and when you finally stop in the middle of the street and take it all in, you wish you can bottle this moment and store it for eternity.

Eating cupfulls of Haagen Daaz on the train whilst watching Disney movies, Being tossed out of bed at 9am by your bff, Eating Dimsum every morning at a quaint little restaurant, roaming around the Hongkong Streets and taking in every sight, sound and feel, sitting by the Hongkong Sea and watching the sun slowly set, Cramming into a restaurant with throngs of people and feasting, Stopping into every shop be it clothing ones or the awesome Shui Liu Shan for mango deserts, Standing still in the middle of a street and taking in the night scenery. Hongkong, you stole my heart entirely.
