I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Before I say anything, I just wanted to say thank you for the comments on the previous DIY post. It’s so encouraging, seriously.

I did come to know though, that the Rodarte DIY was done weeks ago by many bloggers including the wonderful Tiffany from SixSixSick (check out her DIY here), and I’m simply (unfashionably?) late. Well, as the French would say, Je suis en retard.

–

Anyway. Topshop says they can’t live without this one shoulder dress, so being the perfect subject for propaganda and brainwashing, I just went and bought it, broke and all. If I were a middle-aged housewife in Arizona I would probably also buy the Automatic Deodrant Spritzer they sell on Home Shopping TV.

When is this green thing coming to stores!?! (Not that I’ll spend £90 on it) Btw, Miss Selfridge is loaded with zipper stuff, every other garment has visible zippers – a bit late again, but hey, I see you heading there anyway : P

I’ve received an amazing portrait of me drawn by the talented Stasia Kato! Thanks so much, I am soo honoured, I seriously want to have hair like that in the drawing ;) Check out her deviant art gallery here!

Alright, I promise I’m done now. Just one more thing – this could be a little strange, but I was just really curious:
(If you’re a highschool student, use your aspirations)

If I could control this maniac poll design, I would.
Have a great weekend everyone!

    you’re always look so perfect and regardless of being late, you’re so creative. don’t worry, i’m slow too – oh well! anyway, i wanted to answer your little question. i’m a senior in my final semester of school and i still don’t know exactly what i want to do (another thing i’m late on). but i do know that i want to do something with vocal performance or fashion merchandising. i think both of them sort of have something to do with art, you know? i’m done rambling; i look forward to your future posts. :3

    You’re always so amazing!
    Your watch looks kind of interesting… I love geek watches. (even if they don’t work anymore like yours hahaha or it just seems to?)
    I’m a highschool student and I would just loove to study arts or fashion but I know I won’t because it’s kind of “risky” so well… I’ll certainly study boring things in the future like everybody does.

    All my DIYs are late too, but I don’t care because if I make something, it’s because I want it myself and have no money to buy the real thing.
    i love all your DIYs, by the way.

    haha yeah…law school does take up most of my time, and i actually didn’t start being interested in fashion until late 2008…and when I was at my parents’ house over the holidays I got really bored and did a few DIY projects. Most of them didn’t work out well, but have to start somewhere! hopefully i’ll get better soon.

    It’s a really cool shape though, so you probably won’t regret it. And you’ve shown how versatile it is!
    That waistcoat is so good, but then again I love anything with exposed zips.
