Why the name Park & Cube? [Maria]This is going to sound corny and cliché, but since you asked… Park is my last name, so that one’s easy – the corny starts at Cube.
I realised how fashion blogs can easily turn into something overly materialistic and shallow in content, so I was quite determined to give this blog some depth. I took the idea of a typical square image, and basically gave it more depth in a physical sense. So a 2D, flat or ‘shallow’ element gains depth and becomes a 3D cube. That’s where the Cube is from. Don’t get it? Don’t worry, I don’t really get it either.
Do you have any DIY-projects you’d love to try, but haven’t yet? [Maria]
I’d love to try something like this, jacket embellishment using thick-width ribbons, subtle but bold at the same time. (Found in Anywho)
What’s your favourite area in London? [Zara]
Can’t say I really have a favourite, but I do love the Docklands. Not many people know about it since it’s not really a part of the tourbus route – this is where Canary Wharf is, the business sector of London. No, I don’t hang out with depressed stockbrokers, I just like how the river and concrete meet – sort of like a hypermodern Venice. There are residental areas where flats look out straight onto a canal – One day I’d like to live in one of those flats and toss leftover pizza crusts right out the window for the swans. Convenient waste disposal, I must say.

What three things would you bring to a desert island? [Phuong]
- TV
- DVD Player
- Band of Brothers Boxset

i was saying that your explanation for the cube is great–not corny at all

whoo i was wondering when you were going to wear that long dress!
and i love your thought process in making your blog name. as much as i love your photos, i love reading what you have to say and looking at your non-outfit photos like the ones from italy :)
P.S. i’ve started pairing PARK with other 3D objects… i just can’t help it. park and cone, park and sphere, look what you’ve started!! haha park and cube is great!
I really really love your boots!!!!

i would’ve never guessed that’s where the ‘cube’ comes from. but it kind of makes perfect sense now haha. i haven’t been to london in so long i’d looovee to go back and visit this aforementioned docklands! hypoermodern venice? yes please!!
Very cute!! I really love your shoes!! Ahh, so the mystery is solved! Cool explanation although I’m still figuring it out.
I think you’ve really succeded in making this blog something more, I’ve only read it for a cuple of days, but I think it’s great, it brings me something other than just clothes.
Love your skirt and your boots, as well as what you’d take with you to a desert island haha I laughed out loud.
lulz omg the cube explanation is perfect…i always loved names that had obscure meanings…i love it. park&cube just rolls off the tongue too.
Amazing styling! I would never had thought to wear it like that.
love that floor length skirt! :) that’s a dress right? and amazingly, i get what you mean with the CUBE. hahaha
it’s a very chic outfit and i love the zip on your shoes! i have an urge to get a similar skirt!
(i left the answer on your previous posts yesterday, don’t know if you saw it :))
pozdrawiam!
oy, know what you mean about not wanting your style blog becoming something superficial, materialistic, and well…substance-less. trust me, you don’t need to worry about that. i remember stumbling upon this blog a bit back and that never came across my mind. instead, i noticed the impeccable styling, the beautiful photography, and to my surprise, the most pleasing web design i’ve seen in a while :o)
do the jacket!
perfect combo with the sweatshirt and dress. it all looks so comfy!
i can’t wait to see the jacket you wanted to diy!

Those shoes are exquisite. Were they from H&M Trend? I am falling deep in love with H&M shoes.
i love those shoes!!!!! i could never find cute shoes in h&m..
love how the skirt has that column of metal buttons! and those gold zippers are great! i always wondered where “cube” came from, the mystery is solved :)
Great as always, very relaxed, which I of course like a lot.
I never go to the right H&M’s for shoes, it seems. Never seen these either! :)
I know what you mean about canary wharf.. I’ve had a few interviews around there and when I’m waiting in reception I often just stand at the huge glass windows and gawk at the totally unfamiliar concrete surroundings, haha. TY for the answer:)
xoxo
I love the name of your blog! And I totally admire how much thought you put into it. It’s so distinctive.
And your dress is amazing with the sweatshirt layered over it…and can I just say that I’m totally going to steal the entire outfit you were wearing in a previous post with the yellow jeans? Genius (jeanius?)
haha. i get it! (i think?)
this a great outfit, the shoes are a perfect touch!
p.s.
unrelated to P&C, do you have any idea how to convert WMA files to MP3? just wondering:)
I quite love your sense of humour; the crusts out the window thing made me smile. Also, I think your reasons for choosing your name are totally ‘cube’ ..new word for ‘deep’ dontcha see?
Shini!!! You’re on Fashionation!!! fashionation.wordpress.com
You are a superstar!!!!!! Yes I am a UK 4 :) !!! (Sorry for ! overuse but I’m so excited..!!) Can I buy them off you, please? I even have the exact money sitting in my wallet in a red laisee packet waiting to be spent on them!! xoxo
Oh… Oh! Umm Yes I don’t mind at all! Swap or buy is fine with me :) Moving house? Exciting! Shall we do a meet & swap – you armed with shoes and me with 150 squids? xoxo
Or would you prefer posting & bank transfer? I don’t know what your stance is on anonymity & meet ups etc.
Yayyyyyy. Umm.. I’m up at this hour because I overslept (badly) this morning and thought I’d try make up the revision time by starting early…. very early, haha. Where would you like to meet? Wherever is easiest for you – I am in the near vicinity of Russell square/Kings cross so I can pretty much get anywhere. And also, When is best for you? Would today be alright? It would def. start my weekend off on a great note :) xoxo
I shall email you my mobile phone number, could you send me a text with whatever plan is best for you? I am turning to revision for a bit :) x
re your comment: True, that photo is not current–I’m not sure when the original photo was taken but the article I took it off of was dated Feb 2008 although frankly, jessica does not have the best style and i would not be surprised if she wore something like that even NOW. nonetheless, i used it to illustrate something i see women now doing ALL THE TIME (boo). heehe
Great boots!!! I love the exposed zipper especially in the front.
LOVE the boots and love how you choose your blog name!! :)
Seriously, i already told you how much i love these H&M boots, if you ever want to sell them, pleeeeeeease, tell me !
I’m still searching for them everywhere without any luck… And i’m kinda desperate actually :)
Have a nice week end !
You have an awesome blog! I can’t believe I just now have stumbled into it! I could never make a long dress and sweatshirt look that good.
YAY you answered my question! haha i expected you would bring your laptop! i would bring a goood bed! hihi and i’ve been to canary wharf it’s pretty cool, have you eat at chilies before? it’s really nice ^^ xoxo
What a beautiful outfit! I love the maxi skirt paired with those boots and the simple white top. Looove it!
the idea of using word CUBE it’s great! and you’re right… it gaves more depth!!! :D
