micheal oats.

i came across Micheal Oats and his photography whilst browsing through some fashion blogs and fell in love with his style! a little risque, a little vintage and very in-your-face. a few of my favourite shots are from an editorial; Allure.

hop, skip and a week.

it is 1:40 am on a Wednesday and i officially have exactly one week till i leave for home! these days have been passing by painfully slowly and i have nothing extensive or exciting to blog about. well, i have started watching Sex & the City again to pass time (hence the title of my post) and the nerd in me has been occupied with a few documentaries here and there; the latest being Guns, Germs & Steel based on the book by Jared Diamond. i had actually read bits of his book for my Anthropology and World Studies classes back in high school and so was pretty excited when i came across the documentary (don't laugh!). it basically analyzes and explains Diamond's theory on geography being the primary reason for some cultures (namely the Europeans) succeeding more than the others leading to the societal inequalities we find in present day. i actually miss my high school classes; an array of subjects questioning and challenging my brain rather than being bombarded by theories on just marketing and advertising (as much as i like it).

on another note, the weather has been sunny, warm and beautiful these last couple of days which makes me very very happy and want to be outside all the time. there is still a lot to be done before i leave though and i'm so so lazy to get through them all! this has been a rather dull post, some pretty little things on my next one, i promise. oh yes, i changed my header again (the perfectionist in me acting up as always) and i feel Gisele does it some excellent justice; taken from an editorial in Harper's Bazaar Russia June 2007 and photographed by the infamous Lagerfeld himself.

lady noire affaire.



it is a beyond beautiful Sunday. the sun is shining bright and the temperature outside is just perfect. if only British weather was like this all year round. pure bliss and proof of how greatly weather can impact one's mood. hopefully the rest of this week will follow by example.

colours.


i think of you in colours that don't exist


miranda's abode.

ah, one of my obsessions; Aussie model, Miranda Kerr has a stunning apartment in NYC. i love all the whites and the random splashes of colour everywhere. i also love her mix of Victorian and Asian touches; royal whites with Asian wood. especially the Asian inspired wooden lounge she's sitting on with colourful pillows. beautiful, just beautiful.





i can't wait to have my own apartment. a chic little place in NYC adorned with some elegant whites, a whole lot of Asian furniture with touches of colour here and there. i can dream can't i?

soul meets body.

and i cannot guess what we'll discover
when we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
but i know our filthy hands can wash another's
and not one speck will remain
