Saturday Night Live.
Went out with my BFF, Nina and her boyfriend to toast to Glitterati's 2nd year Anniversary and we decided to check out an ultra hip neo-Japanese sake bar/ resto called ROBOT which was quite amazing. I decided to wear a super hot Glitterati dress (in honor of my brand of course) from our new Holiday collection 2010. It's quite a simple jersey strapless LBD with an awesome mesh detail at the middle part, which also features a peek of skin in the waist area without being too vulgar or revealing. All in all, the perfect single girl's Little Black Dress for a Saturday night out. I decided to cover it up though with a mini H&M bolero blazer with a cute Military rope trim...It is after all quite chilly esp. with December starting off.

I loved the concept and the design so much of the place ROBOT, I took so much photos....

TRIO.

Out from under.
Who would not love upside down tables (below) and constant light change all over? (the place lights up in red, amber, purple, blue)

Disco ball Bathroom.
I dreamed of a wall covered top to toe in mosaic disco ball mirrors. This was way phenomenal.
The sink is so sci-fi too I love it!

Longest bathroom break ever. Vanity at its purest!

And there's an LCD screen too inside the cubicle!!!!

Went to Attica after (as always) and had an early but fun Saturday night out.
Happy 2nd anniversary Glitterati!

(Do wait for our Holiday collection- to be released this week!)
I know you'll love it.

Sunday Dressing.

Was a bit lazy to dress up for our little Sunday tradition so I opted for a whimsical printed dress from Topshop which has cute shoulder shape/ detail. I would normally pair blue and white with red, but since it is not Independence day and I am not feeling too nautical, I opted to do pastels instead by accessorizing with cream. I noticed how this dress is about 80% almost like this other one I wore a few posts back, (Click HERE to view it)... I realized, you can wear something so similar in a totally different way only by accessorizing differently...and that is what I plan to do. No shopping rule: since it's December, I shall shop for other people first!

It is after all, the season of giving!

Wear your real eyes
No you don’t realize
What you say yes to
But you say yes too

-Lasso, Phoenix

Never realized my eyes were THAT big until this shoot. I always thought I was semi-chinky eyed and quite Chinese looking (I am after all at least 35% Chinese) but now I guess I understand why people mistake me for Korean (Ulzzang!) or Japanese almost 90% of the time.
Also this makes me realize, the power that lies behind big doll doe eyes.... you get what you want most of the time if you use 'em to your advantage.
Think Puss In Boots in Shrek... who couldn't resist those eyes? Haha.

Note: Pardon the vanity. Tricia just did a really awesome job shooting me, I cannot help but share. More photos soon!

Now here is my mantra and the inspiration behind the name of my blog. It's a quotation by Anais Nin:

"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason.
I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me.
Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go.
Reality doesn't impress me.
I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another.
No more walls."

Fall Into This.



A take on my favorite fall 2010 trend which involves blue and camel. Ever since I saw Chloe's 2010 Fall campaign, I fell in love. It was such a refreshing comeback that camel, caramel and khaki made after the years and years of fall clothing marked by black, grays and purples. I was semi inspired by a spread I saw at the Zara store the other day while browsing and decided to incorporate the look with basic wardrobe staples I already had on my closet. It turned out quite equestrian, I think, but altogether it was a put together business casual look perfect for a day of errands and rushing back and forth to renew paperwork.




The blazer is a favorite of mine. I've worn it practically a dozen times already and I can't help but stop loving it. I rarely like blue but when I saw this about 3 years ago, I knew I had to have it and so far, I've been able to pair it with almost everything. I wore it this time with brown leather accessories and a pair of khaki brown trousers in corduroy fabric. Very different from the usual look I go for but I hope it worked!

Mood board: The Fall 2010 Trend- CAMEL
(Source:http://www.thefashionables.com/2010/03/camel-rules-the-fall-2010/)

Desert sand, khaki and camel are the bespoke colorful trends of this fashion season. The biggest designers praise the power of these trends and gave us fashion shows with neutral and exotic palette.

Italy left us speechless with the latest trends, especially at the Max Mara fashion show in Milan. The famous brand gave us requisite camel overcoats and they suddenly turn out to be the hit of the 2010 fall season.

The French best companies Hermes and Chloe were also affected by the camel trend, because their latest jackets and skirts were related to camel and all its varieties.

Calvin Klein offered a show with khaki trousers, camel coats and shirts in neutral tones. The desert sand colors, also known as safari trend, are major part of H&M fashion creation this year.

In case you want to add something really modern in your wardrobe this season, try velvet in desert sand or earth yellow.

Don’t miss out to purchase the latest camel accessories, such as belts and bags, especially impressive in the Phillip Lim latest fashion collection.
