I want to wish everyone a very Happy Holidays! I hope you all take some time out to relax and enjoy some much deserved rest with loved ones.

I myself will be taking a short trip into Asia and most likely will not be able to blog for a while. Hopefully upon my return, I’ll have many goodies to blog about. Till then, take care and eat well~

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been a bag girl. I won’t pay a cent over $200AU for shoes or clothes, but the sky is the limit (not really, but you know what I mean) for a bag that catches my eyes. My justification has always been that bags are easier to take care of, they don’t touch the floor or get thrown into a washing machine where they can potentially become damaged. Every once and a while I will wipe them down with gentle baby wipes or a damp clean cloth and store them in their dust bags, where they are safe and look good as new. To me they are worth the extra money, they last forever.

However, lately I find myself gravitating towards shoes. I remember a couple years back seeing a gorgeous pair of Chanel booties. And I literally fell in love, but I just could not bring myself to spend that sort of money on an item that will hit the ground everyday and most likely wear out within a matter of months. A part of me still regrets not at least attempting to find the shoes on sale.

Still, I can’t help but lovingly stare at a beautiful pair of heels in a store with my hands and nose pressed up against the window like a kid into a candy store. Dreaming of some day soon venturing into the world of designer shoes.

Can you imagine my shock when I opened the door to a delivery man claiming he had flowers for a Celina? Beautiful white roses from my favourite girls at LV. Today has been fantastic thanks to my family and wonderful friends~

Still waiting for this one to open tho! *_*

After years of using about 3 different sketch books for all my costumes and fashion related ideas, I finally decided to invest in a beautiful moleskine sketch book solely dedicated to all my new ideas.

Time to get started!

Last night Celeste and I attended our very first fashion event. In an attempt to learn and integrate myself more into the fashion community, I’ve been keen to attend more fashion related events. So I was very happy to find out that my dear friend who just as keen to attend the same type of events~

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera on the night. I’m sure Celeste will have some pretty ones up soon, so do feel free to skip over there and check out them. Overall, it was a very interesting event, getting to know the locals in the fashion community (till yesterday my “network” had been restricted to anyone online, irregardless of which country they were from) and it was a nice change.

Looking forward to attending many many more in the future with my new partner in crime~ <3

This special edition book features Louis Vuitton’s contemporary fashion, art, architecture, design and photography. Cover by the ever talented Takashi Murakami, responsible for the popular multicolor line. The book features over 80 artists and many other creative types that have collaborated with LV throughout the ages.

I was quite tempted to post photos of some of the images inside the book, but I couldn’t decide which to post first! (so many great pages) so I’ll be sure to over time post my favourites.
