the other side

At first I thought she talked too much; but now I should be sorry to have that voice fall silent and pass out of my life. Blessed be the chestnut that brought us near together and taught me to know the goodness of her heart and the sweetness of her spirit! - Extract from Adam's Diary by Mark Twain

This morning I told him my name, hoping it would interest him. But he did not care for it. It is strange. If he should tell me his name, I would care. I think it would be pleasanter in my ears than any other sound. - Eve's Diary by Mark Twain

Katy Perry and Rankin

From her usual purple wig and 'California Girl' image, the lovely Katy Perry and photographer, Rankin, channels fierce in these shots.

I have yet to listen her newly released single "Teenage Dreams". Have you?

ps. I miss her purple hair just by looking at these shots. :D

TOMS up!

a friend of mine showed me her usual OR school shoes and glamified it up with a little acrylic paint and a whole lot painting skills to produce this:

it's simply the cutest thing ever. Comfy and cute.

Now another friend of mine introduced me to TOMS.
what is a TOMS?

TOMS Shoes is an American footwear company. The company designs and sells lightweight shoes based on the Argentine alpargata design. -wiki

After realizing that these sensational shoes haven't arrived here in Cebu yet (yes Manila, you lucky sonuvabitch), I guess all I can do now is save up and browse through their variety of designs.


my top favorites:

Aira Cordones

Tyler Ramsey Hand Painted

Cortazar Cordones

Yellow Portsmouth Cordones

Well those are from the women's designs.

Officer's Muse

Zuhair Murad's Officer's Muse Spring 2010 Collection

------

I am too in love with the military styled theme (hence entitled "Officer's Muse").
The little details complements it as a whole so I'm eye-ing that military jacket.
I've mentioned Mr. Murad on my previous post and it's official....

Zuhair Murad, you are soooo on my list!

roses are gowns

Zuhair Murad, a Beirut-based, Lebanese fashion designer.

Notice that the theme is Roses. I am happy to have come across his name via the internet and fashionTV.
Here is a vast collection of dresses that spells out red carpet!

 

 

 

  

  

 

The theme is brilliant. Every dress conjures up a splash of freshness. I'm loving the last picture!
Roses are red and can be wonderful inspirations for any designer.

icon for the next generation

Lady Gaga on 944's January 2010 issue where she is titled as the icon for the next generation.

The photos exude such an innocent nature. The laces are beautifully styled.

I rarely post fashion articles so this is a first. And probably more to come, especially if the fashion is my kind of style.

And this is definitely my kind.
