Hyacinths of heavenly blue





Every season I'm always looking forward to be inspired by Toast and flicking through their beautiful catalogue. A film by Benoît Jacquot called ' Villa Amalia' always reminded me of the type of women that would wear Toast's collection. It's one of my favourite film and soundtrack due to its gentleness and one's desire to just get a ticket, go somewhere and explore.

Apology for the constant post around the Bronte village. Below are some of the friendly animal that greeted me when I was walking around the village during a lovely summer morning.

Finally made peace with a red lipstick that was given from an ex-beau.
The colour was perfect. But the stain stayed forever. I can not resist the temptation on just letting the little devil stay in my dressing table and expire.


Estee Laudeer Lips in 'Poppy Cream';Chanel eyeliner '31'; Calvin Klein blush in 'Flush with desire'.
My friend Lotte also reminded me on how I love the movie 'Lust, Caution' by Ang Lee so much.
Slightly more graphical than Wong Kar Wai's film.
Thou both film still gives me goose bumps and drowned comfortably in their soundtrack.

Nature is ancient.


Images Scanned From National Geographic Magazine, and Various horticulture books.

Look around nature ...
And they will always have the best ideas that we can learn, extend, and improvise to create something wonderful.


Above are pictures I've taken via my low resolution phone camera.
Book: by Rob Kesseler and Wolfgang Stuppy in collaboration with The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; preface by HRH The Prince of Wales.

I never knew that a very delicate and very important part of plants can have such a wonderful textures and shapes when looked beyond the human eyes.



Which reminded me of organic looking sculptures by Ron Resch.

Gucci Group made a very visually stunning and modern film about the planet earth.
It's nice to know that giant fashion corporation like them are doing their bit to 'Save the planet'.

24 hour date with London

Living in a place that's totally the opposite of a big city makes you really appreciate the details of what's going on around you. So here's what I could squeeze during the speed dating visit with an amazing city called London.

Invited by amazing new friend, I start the day with a cup tea at the roof of Last.fm office and enjoy the view of Old street scenery.

Whilst waiting in South Kensington station I saw a really summery dressed girl who were also (seemed to be) waiting and standing still out of so many people rushing back and forward and stands out from the crowd.
A friend that were supposed to meet me at 12 dot pm were stuck in a hot traffic jam. So I walked around the area and had a quick bite of Smushi at Madsen, a rather friendly and clean Scandinavian restaurant.

Once my friend arrived we had super filling slice of cake and cupcake from The Hummingbird Bakery. To burn off the highly content sugar we walked a little towards the V&A museum to see Future collection from MA Fashion 2008 graduate of RCA.
In the aim of sitting down in a shaded area of some park. We managed to stopped by at 2009 Postgraduate show of Royal College of Art and saw some really impressive work of art, jewellery, and photography.
My favourite one was by Ioanna Gouma, Gediminas Vysniauskas and sharon Green.

As much as me and my friend wanted to lay around in the grass under the shade at Kensington Garden.
We pulled our lazy bum up and off we went to another exhibition in Royal Academy to see a very exciting work collection by Kuniyoshi.
For some reason the heat seems to be twice as hot as the actual temperature, so we cooled ourself down and picked up some sugar craving macaroons at Laduree which is just 2 minutes walk from the gallery.


After the usually clothes scavanging along Regent Street high street and headache trip to Topshop mecca we recharged our battery at this really big portion, friendly, quite, and super delicious chinese restaurant in Gourmet Garden at 35 Great Portland Street (used to be buffet apparantly).

Before the end of a fantastic evening, the last rendevous was quick dinner at Mexicali and a long digesting session at Curzon cinema to watch Synechdoche, New York by Charlie Kaufman.
