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.

I keep looking for the right opportunity to mention this: I met up with Zanita during the London Fashion Weekend, I spotted her strutting down the runway last Wednesday in a black goddessy dress. As you can see, she’s absolutely gorgeous – sorry about the pic of us together, she’s like Glinda the Fair Witch of West and then me the Scarecrow. We talked about her modelling career and I told her, ever so enchalantly, that her face is versatile *slap mouth* sorry Zanita, I didn’t mean it in any negative way (negative like ‘versatile but not unique’?). stupid stupid…
So glad to have met her in person, she’s so down to earth.

Vogue UK April 2009 Pages 105,108

I’m a sucker for military garments. Vogue UK April did an impressive editorial using authentic army surplus garments, like the dress Karlie wears in the first photo. They can be bought in Squadron HQ, completely affordable (actually I’ve never seen such a low £price printed in Vogue) which also has a store in North London.

I got this navy coloured Middy through their online site – I can’t wait to pair it with something outrageous like leather or chiffon. (Do I even have chiffon?)

    She is beautiful!
    And you do hold your own with her, you have such good complexion.
    I like military too, I need an army surplus jacket.
    You should totally get the hat, red always adds a little something,

    aw, you girls are so pretty:) and don’t be so harsh on yourself–you have wonderful eyes!

    regarding military wear…never really thought about it before, but that editorial makes it looks amazing! i really need an army green coat now, and that mesh scarf…

    oh, and love that hat.
    you should SO get it!

    That hat and middy are great. Like studs, I tend to think military is a style that although inspired by the boys, really shines on the ladies…

    ps although I couldn’t pick just one religion at uni, I wrote my b.a. on south american shamanism…

    ahhh shini! You look great in this shot – im the one who looks like they been on a 20 show bender….hehe Thanks so much for posting about me im very flattered and im glad no one else has pointed out my bloodshot eyes and inside out cardigan.
    Also im very happy to be versatile! If i wasnt at least a little bit then i would be flat broke. Editorials dont pay you know!
    The hat is very important. Can you get hold of it? Its fabulous.
