Forget about Fall 2010 RTW, some designs from Resort 2011 really caught my eye! I like how there was a lot of neutral tones interjected with bright pops here and there throughout the collections.
I especially adore the prints that Alice Temperley came up with for her Temperley London collection. Prints seemed to be really popular in Resort 2011; it’s a pity I didn’t fancy too many of them ):
Look who hasn’t been around?
Stuff’s happened over the past two months. I’ve (unofficially) graduated from University, found a job in an industry I really wanted to get into (yay!), and while I’m not particularly well-endowed in the finance department at the moment like I’ve always envisioned myself to be after getting a job, I’m pretty much happy with where I am in life at the moment. I get to be around clothes and bags and shoes and accessories at work, so I’m not quite sure what better deal I could’ve gotten ;)
Anyway, I’m a little very late to the party, but I just started looking through the Fall 2010 RTW collections, and I have to say that I’ve been completely floored by some of the designers, some of whom I haven’t even heard of before. Then again, I guess I hear of very little designers, and mainly from reading blogs and such. In any case, I hope to post some of the incredibly gorgeous designs next post.
To celebrate mother’s day, my mom brought the entire family “trekking” at the Southern Ridges. We got on the bridge along Alexandra Road, and ended up at Mount Faber. According to my dad, we walked like 4 kilometers or something like that.
Everyone brought cameras except for my brother, which naturally made him Superstar of the Day. At first he was really enthusiastic…
… but then he ran out of gas really quickly.
(Sorry for the totally inconsistent lighting. I was trying to make the photos look arty, but then I realized that it didn’t really work very well with people in the photos. Ahem.)
So anyway, there were tons of walking, getting mildly disoriented, spying on my brother doing weird pee poses, and then more walking. We did so much walking my thighs died on me. Again. Well, they never really recovered from Friday’s Hip Hop dance session, but I was totally feeling the ache all over again this morning.
Then we arrived at the Henderson Wave. At least I think that’s what it’s called?
Great view from the top.
It’s super duper long and I thought it was something like 400 meters above ground, but I’ve got so extreme a fear of height that anything above 50 meters off-ground looks like 500 meters to me, so I don’t know how accurate my estimations are.
So that’s about it! I was surprised there weren’t more people on the Henderson Wave though, since it’s got a great view and is really well-designed and everything. They even have these parts of the bridge where you can sit around and chill and… stuff. Good spot for dating, me thinks :D
Been pretty busy the past few days working on the website and stuff, but Pirate Theory finally went live about two days ago! As the picture suggests, Pirate Theory’s my new online venture into fashion retail. It’s essentially the reincarnation of Delilah Muse, because I thought Delilah Muse was too girly a name for the kind of clothes I wanted to sell. I am thinking I might set up a line of Delilah Muse clothing in the future though, because I do like me some pretty silk and chiffon dresses that would be pretty befitting of the name :D
