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.

Urban Outfitters Pressday SS11

I wish I can do short and sweet when it comes to pressdays, but that’s just my personality I think, can’t keep things concise. I once left a fridge post-it note for my brother that went on about 4 notes just saying that the food is in the fridge. Well, I had to include introduction, literary review, argument and conclusion, no? At least that’s what they taught me in school, I guess you wouldn’t know because you didn’t stay in school or something… HRMPH FINE good for you and your short note writing skillz. So I guess my point is… I’m growing tickling fondness for the vinyl trend in footwear (refer to annex); blisters-in-the-making is apparently the new Behind the Scenes in SS11. I find that Urban Outfitters has an exceptionally good taste in their boutique section; they’re taking in different brands that somehow speak a similar language, or alike enough to carry through that quirky chicness of UO. Another favourites are those flat wedges by Won Hundred– very Anywho!

Thank you Amber for the invitation!

Annex: Since this will only be affordable once I join the Ocean’s Eleven team and be able to fit in a casino cart.

    • and alll this time I just thought I was the only one with this problem.

    • that’s why I’m so into bullet points these days

    • we weren’t @ urban outfitters @ the same time but you, me, and Jen all fell in love with and shot those shoes

    • i’m not posting about urban outfitters until camilla comes back from holiday (crazy, I know)

    • my we’re both up late!

    • the food is in the fridge

    • nighty night! x

    Hmm.. for once I’m actually interested in seeing this new collection. Then again, it doesn’t really matter. Apart from the shoes, everything else seems to break at the first wear. :(

    AHHHH. Drool. Those flat platforms were made for me.
    I understand your post-it experience. I have trouble keeping things concise too. It took me a 2-page letter to tell my boyfriend that I’m taking vacation from work this winter…
    That is why I edit so much. The shorter the message, the more thought and time went into it. Haha.

    Also, I’m crazy about your blog. You’re awesome.

    Oh, I LOVE the blouse on the third photo and the turquoise ring. Of course, then, the next UO is 280km away from where I live and not even in the same country. Shucks.

    – the neon-yellow platforms
    – the white lace dress
    – the suede/plastic/silver toe shoes
    – the white body with the graphic black chest part

    yes please!

    I am equally impressed that this is urban outfitters. It seems that they would like to expand the stereotype that they have. I guess the stereotype is that they are a fast fashion store that tries to conceal it with “interesting” cuts and semi-high street designers. I like when brands/stores go through this sort of re-invention.

    Wow, I just came across your blog & it is so incredibly visually stunning! Amazing design, layout and photography, I’m sure you already get that a lot but I just wanted to reiterate. :$ It’s everything I wish my blog could be but isn’t! Haha

    I was quite surprised to find out these photos were from urban outfitters! Haha Maybe it’s the locations I go to, but their pieces never come across as so very alluring to me in person. Or maybe it’s the moment when I reach for the price tag that dispels any further interest, haha.

    Anyway, I’d like to say again how talented I think you are. :) I look forward to trying to go through your whole blog once my exams are done! ;) haha

    Hah! 3M would be happy to hear ;)

    I gotta agree – I wouldn’t have guess that the pieces are from different designers if you didn’t mention UO.

    Weird lil me? The lime platform loafers are looking real delish right now!

    I was so in love with the flat wedges I contacted One Language to request them, and they told me that there must have been a mistake because they didn’t make those shoes, only canvas totes. Who did make them????
