Space & Lace

Space & Lace


Today it was almost warm enough to wear these outfits. But only in direct sunlight. Almost. Ok it was still pretty chilly. I am eagerly anticipating summer with a large stash of scarf dresses and sheer odds and ends in my closet.

The first outfit was made from some fabric I bought at Dressew when I went shopping for trim for my sweater. This pattern elicited a surprised “oooh” and just refused to be place back onto the shelf. I’ve been looking for a blurry/spacy/marbled print dress for a while. I guess I just had to make one for myself. I experimented with new ways of tying the fabric here, a nice change from the usual wrap around the neck style.

Pardon the mess. I was chasing the light and had no other choice of location. My grandmother just bought new furniture for the entire downstairs.

The texture on my white skirt below is a little blown out… Drat. The top was thrifted by my mum. She thought I’d like it and she was right. Although it wasn’t love at first sight, it was definitely love at first wear.

That handsome German shepherd is my uncle’s. He’s still a puppy but he’s getting very big. He kept poking his nose through the fence trying to get my attention.

The sweater I was working on in the previous post is all finished now! I took a few photos of it as well but I’ll post them later.

DIY Day

Remember this photo of some strange twisty carpet/drape trim that I took at Dressew a while ago? Well I finally got around to purchasing some for a little diy project and tutorial I’m working on for Refinery 29. I was originally planning to try out the Rodarte rib-cage shirt, but I figured I’d save it for a weekend after finals when I’m less pressed for time. This particular project is extremely easy to do but I’m excited about the results already! Here is a little preview of what I have so far. Everything is just held in place with pins at the moment. I’ll post the rest in conjunction with the feature!

Fashion tendency keeps gladdening us with new TRENDS. Overall a new fashion trend of Spring - Summer 2009 ! This season an overall is for the all cases. Blue denim overall is for business noon, an overall made from silk is for cocktail party, an overall from variegated silk is for party in your garden. It is a good alternative to dresses. Overalls are as self-sufficient as dresses but look much more defiant than dresses.

Lamborghini Woman Shoes. Delux Series.

Lamborghini Woman Shoes. Delux Series.

Are Lamborghini woman shoes made for walking? Lamborghini Seriously Hot Heels.

Everybody knows how fleet-footed a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is on the road - and now it is on the footpath as well, literally. There are the first track-biased high heels in the world.

The carbon fibre heeled woman shoes are the work of a brilliant designer and member of the CGSociety called Tim Cooper, who modelled them on a pair of his wife’s high heels using a large handful of Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera images. The CGS - if you want to know - is a group of artists who specialise in 3D modelling and computer generated imagery.

Of course, no one with taste and propriety would ever want to wear these shoes - or even letting them anywhere near their house - but they are still a very clever piece of rendering. The level of detail is quite amazing - so much so, in fact, that there’s a chance someone may take matters a step further and actually make them. We hope not…

Tendencies. Sled From Porsche.

Porsche Sled

Corporation Porsche produced an interesting new product - high-speed sled.

The desing of the sled is minimal art. The sled can pick up maximal speed within minimal time like cars of the same trend do.

Working on the sled Porsche went by focus on the children’s needs. However the sled can carry more than 100 kg. So not only children can use them but their parents as well. Besides the sled is collapsible and can easily go into your car’strunk. So train your children to quality things from little up.

Pop Diva Madonna Keeps Shocking Us!

Pop Diva Madonna Keeps Shocking Us!


Summer Spring 2009
fashion collections of Rodarte, Givenchy, Thakoon, Narciso Rodriguez and Herve Leger proved that “surgical corset” turns into fashion trend. As we know Madonna is a big lover of fashion trends, but this time it seems like Madonna laid it thick a little.

In promotional photo session of her album Hard Candy Madonna was dressed in something that didn’t look like clothes. I would say it was stylish “surgical corset”.

Maybe Pop Star Madonna just forgot that what looks sexy at the age of 35 is not very attractive at the age of 50…

New MUST-HAVE Of This Season. The Moast Fashionable Print.

An imitation of feathers and fur seem like the new fashion trend of comming season. This print we can see at many collections of the modernest designers and modellers. Such as Giambattista Valli and Dolce & Gabbana that show fluffy fur patterns. Alena Akhmadullina and Alexander McQueen show beautiful 3-D feathers prints.

What can we say? It is really beautiful and extremelly up-to-date. Besides, The Green Peace must be enthusiastic about it!

OPTICAL ILLUSION is a New Must-Have of This Season!

Fashionable MakeUp. Face and Hair Cosmetics of the Season 2009

EYE SHADOW

After getting a sneak peek at the circus carousel center stage at Chanel, the makeup line's creative director Peter Philips was inspired to gild the models' eyes. Plus, the lack of accessories in the collection made him want to turn their eyes into ornaments, as he said. Bringing the hue all the way up to the brow really enhances the eye.

Were seen at Baby Phat, BCBG Max Azria, Badgley Mischka, Versace and Chanel.

Apply several coats of golden shadow, leaving lashes bare. Mascara clumps would change the look, Philips said. It would suddenly become very disco.

Cosmetics: Kevyn Aucoin The Sculpting Powder, Chanel Ombre Essentielle in Gold, CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 3-Kit Shadow in Golden Sunset.


CHUNKY WAVES

Bumble and bumble stylist Laurent Philippon, who gave models at Preen gorgeous waves with stick-straight ends, wanted the hair to have a kind of rumpled sexiness—like late-'80s Kim Basinger in Batman and 9½ Weeks.

Were seen at: Ports 1961, Gucci, Preen, and Salvatore Ferragamo.

After coating wet hair with a heat-protecting spray, tousle strands with fingers while blow-drying, you need a bit of imperfection, Philippon said. Spritz hair with a medium-hold hairspray, then wrap small sections around a one-inch curling iron and rake through with fingers.

Cosmetics: Kérastase Vinyle Nutri-Sculpt, Bumble and bumble Bb Spray de Mode, TRESemmé Heat Tamer Spray.
