All in all, a pretty good trip I guess?

My class took a field trip down to the OSIM HQ at Ubi Ave 1 on Monday as part of Retail Management class. Mannnnnnnn was the Concept Store fun! You can tell everyone was just chillin’ on the massage chairs and all, haha. I tried on the uKimono and it almost jiggled my tummy off, so intense the vibrations. Anyway, it’s been a busy week and a half. Time really does fly by faster when you have a shitload of things to do all day :P

A lot of people (including very popular fashion bloggers) claim that Lady Gaga’s style is trashy or that she’s got no style at all, but in my honest opinion, she’s sort of like an icon in her own way, no?

Oh, fuck yeah.

Elie Saab Spring 2010 Couture
View the entire collection @ Style.com

The one show that I look forward to the most every time couture season rolls around is Elie Saab’s. He makes the most outstanding dresses ever, hands down. Many women would want to wear one of his dresses to their weddings, I imagine ;)

Abstract Splatter Scarf: Cotton On, S$9.95
Geometric Rose Tank Dress: Cotton On, S$19.95
Black Open Front Cardigan: Cotton On, S$29.95

I was originally in the changing room trying on the tank dress alone, but when I came out I saw an interesting scarf that could go with it, and then I remembered that I still needed a long-sleeved cardigan (which I also happened to find in Cotton On) and voilà, we have us an outfit! The scarf looks like a muddle of puke on blood in the photo, but that’s really just my camera acting retarded.

Speaking of Cotton On, did you know that “cotton on” is slang for “caught on” (hence the lame attempt at humour in the title)? I overheard this while I was in the store today. I always thought Cotton On’s brand name had something or other to do with the material cotton, but perhaps not!

I have this handy Zara application on my iPhone that displays all the pieces from their latest collection. I browse it from time to time when I’m on the train or the bus or trying very hard to avoid doing anything constructive. Yesterday, I spotted this black-and-white striped blazer with solid black trimmings and I thought, maybe God does exist, because Lord knows how long I’ve been waiting for a jacket Exactly Like This to show up and now it has, arms-in-the-air yay!

I know it must be new because Zara hasn’t given it a price tag yet, but boy, I can’t wait to check when it comes in so I can finally go buy a piece of clothing. Just as a point of reference, I haven’t bought a single piece of fashion since… November last year, maybe? It was so long ago that I don’t even recall when’s the last time I bought something wearable. Pourqoui?

Lately I’ve been thinking, since I’m at the age where I’ve stopped growing (meaning I’ve given up all hopes of my boobs getting any bigger than the miniscule size that they are), I should buy some clothes that are more trendless, something I can still wear, say, two years from now without thinking,”Good lord, I must’ve been retarded when I bought this.” So I started my search for timeless clothes, which accumulated to naught but dustballs and mushrooms in my closet. Most unfortunate.

Anyway, back to what I was originally talking about, which was… oh I’ve forgotten. But look! Pretty clothes!

Granted, those pants would never look good on me :P
