Guess what I found at my college's library?
The Debut Edition of Melissa Plastic Dreams shoes magazine, entitled (duh) Plastic Dreams
August / Sept (Fall issue I suppose) 2011!

And as placed as being one of the most natural, colorful places in the world with vast habitats in ecology, South America - Brazil, is truly the place to visit after looking at the article! (Wait. this is off-track). Anyhow, featuring some of my cuts which I dug out with an apparent similar color palette suiting the magazine.

Katy Perry is the first model used for the cover, with her inside for sure showcasing Melissas and a styling confusion - from Topshop to high-end designer labels, is Melissa wanting to show that it can be used all over? Your take.


All peektures should be able to be clicked en enlarge, I suppose.

• Sorry Katy fans! Didn't dig the editorial much of her here but I like this shoes above so I took it out. •

Don't mind me being a rowdy pink kid a while - this was the outfit of the day when I met Mademoiselle Yulia. Yeah, THAT GIMME GIMME girl x Fafi. One that remembers me (hopefully) that I sent her a snap of KTZ's Sasha. She's amaaaayzinggggg but I didn't get to meet the VERBAL dude :(

Wearing head-to-hip in KTZ. Isn't the pink-tassled vest stunning?! Get it here for anyone in SE Asia - I got mine here since I live in Singapore myself. Ha!


Of course, who doesn't love our lady of punk and funk : Vivienne Westwood? I still love her to this very day!! But nonetheless I don't seem to like any of her Melissa shoes...
(look at her creations from the olden days to today! Special timeline just for her~)

But, I like Alexander Herchhovitch, the other hitmaker (like my nails! *wishing)! Love his shoes and designs, epicly the bondage boots for his RTW 2009 collection.

• DIVA ring, OPI colors that matches the Rose print Tee worned. Yeah, that IS my original nail, anyone asking •

So onto the beautiful, fashion editorial world-class standard for plastic pairs of Melissa's from JPG (Jean Paul Gaultier's) and plastic fantastic Barbie girls, I really love this editorial Tropical Delirium:
:

And not forgetting that SERIOUSLY SCREAMS MY STYLE, fluttering parrots in the midst of the Amazonian forest, with bows and ribbons twined and colorful pouffed hair: 

GLAMAZON.

In a special column, names from Blonde Salad Chiara came up whom once Ira told me about her, (and we're both so dead in blogging and moved onwards in our offline life, LOL) and I was pretty obsessed with the beautiful name of the beholder - no stalker attached here but it gives such a pretty ring to it - and rhymes like Fererro chocolate,

(drifting again. We have a SAS: short attention span problem)
but I noticed one that I really knew well. This is,  Around the World where Melissa fans dwell and is famous for being in their own skin!

Well I was hesitant at first ! However after reading it and somehow to check the site link written it is correct - they didn't state it but tinytoadstool, the super kawaii creations Shan makes I can't stand it and here she is!

And how I STILL DREAM OF GOING THERE. SOUTH AMERICANOOOOO WHEN WILL I VISIT YOUUUU AND TAHAN THE 21-hour fly travel. Rio de Janeiro of Furious Five, Youth Day in 2013, then drop a visit to Machu Picchu... /daydream for now

Check out their article on about their rainforests and the country in INTO THE WILD, how they influenced the world thru their natural habitat and on their design processes of Melissa.

Short attention span, I shall sojourn to my own wealth of my final year project (dealing with SAS and all that jazz), fashion-focused project.
Wait for it next year! Until then, I'm signing off after another probably 5 more posts (if I can make it) for this year.

Just came back from Anime Festival Asia 2011, will be doing Sundown Festival and, not forgetting the Mnet Asia Music Awards later end of the month. Woots!

Snap!

I need snappy look inspirations! I just need one place and it'll give me wondrous headaches to start cutting things and make things but no time to waste for tomorrow night!

Such look that works with pirate pants and pixie-gangster hair with scarf - punk piratee on the loose? And a sling-bag that works well to comfortably drop just below the scarf. Her doll-like stature face and pinkish make-up with soft blond is just so nice to see. The ocean aqua blue also cools the eye, perfect palette with neutral brown color.

His interesting top is from H&M, and altogether the look costs about $120 (he's one of the rare people to actually remember all the items with approx. prices, complete from top to rings on the right side of the info panel, but then he doesn't leave his name...). Man with flower patterns and pants that looks like PJ pants but works just nice. Where'd he get that tassel kind of accessory? Funny.

Mademoiselle Yulia still uses her KTZ bling bag (I've forgotten the real name of it)? Oh goodness how I want it so much now (I shall steal ex-Key's if I ever do date, WDF?) and the Falwe top of Fafi! The rest are bottoms KTZ and her accessories, GIZA. Simple T-top and leggings (must be patterned to add the funk). I've recently found this as well, with her usual heels and white socks duo she does (CPJ research, remember?) I've discovered. It's a Topshop sop, and hi-res! How her body is ultra-skinny, not balancing with her big face! Just teeny funny. Tee hee!

*how can people not notice her behind there and not say hi or so? I would accost her immediately. She sounds kind... ;'D*

To come of it, last week's AUDI FASHION FESTIVAL (AFF '10) had KTZ in, and THEY HAD COME, THOSE DUO MAESTROS! Zomaigotto! I was down with illness and yes, missed the chance of it. Kokon To Zai aishiteru!

Plus, models I've worked with strutted on their runway, sweet Nora (there in blue and a lightly entertaining blog to follow) and Lautner-hunk-blessed Simon and again, I've missed KTZ magic.

Yuu, an  awesome 21-year-old artist walking (she's wearing her own fine arts things) and yes, stated in the panel that 99% are 自作 (original work) with a Margiela inner. That necklace is TOTALLY ON MY SUMMER DiY LiST. I have my jeans collar leftover! I hope I haven't thrown it away! Before Shangri-la trip, hopefully. Goodness, has summer return again? Anyhow, the photographer must have been so shocked and in awed with her bear head and accessories adorned, he/she has forgotten to zoom to her pants (the closest is the one with her hands shot).

What, he's a guy?!

I found another of him, I recognized it from his shoes! His other look + face :P

They never stop showing the magic of Japanese street style (or more like Tokyo) where all clashes but magically fits. It never stops my wonder. I try to not be biased but then, the only portal that inspires me has always been the Japanese street scene. I'll never be able to get out of my Otaku-ness of J-K.

Reminds me of my next hunt, these Once in Love Irregular Choice shoes, I tried blue and pink together and HOW CUTE IT WAS, BETTER LOOKING TOO, the more irregular, the better! What's more, I've been dreaming these days every time I sleep, from chasing Zuno (Junsu's twin) to last night, clearly remembered, that I went to Takashimaya with my mom, and I asked these shoes to try them on (like for the gazillionth time probably). Repeatedly said "the one with the big flower, flower pattern, but the salesperson came out with different shoes. How hard was it to find the shoes with a big flower on top? "And its got ruffles behind it, pink color, and weird heels" and a couple salesperson went back-forth to the storage, commenting "oh how detailed you remember the shoes" and such, and "sorry, we don't have it"

What sign is this?! I woke up and thought about it, and the Great Singapore Sale doesn't start till' the day I fly back home, it's far, and yes, I think they only have a pair left! I frantically call my mom what to do to do to do but no answer. Her comment later was "Oh, God tells you to not get it"

AAAAAHHHHH you're my heart heart heart heart heaaaartbreaker! Don't they look adorable together? Even Kevin said to the sales-keeper on the day I re-visited it again, and tried both together, long before the blue one was sold out, "can we purchase with one pink and blue? Or you can buy one then trade" out-of-the-blue stupidity. Tee hee, how I want it so to be so!

Late old University Fashion Week in Seoul, but more inspirations to come literally out of the box... as FMS say!
