First of all, Happy (belated) Christmas to all of you :)

How did y'all celebrate Christmas? For me, I had lovely lunch with some of my high school friends.

I ordered 3 layer of pancakes (well I ordered pancake but all of sudden it came with 3 layers, lol) with cream cheese on top of it and each layer filled with fruit cocktails served with strawberry sauce. Deep breath, exhale.... It was yummy, really yummy.

It's been almost 3 years since last time I met them. Time goes really fast, but they didn't change at all, fun to hang out with.

Secondly, another good news from Topshop. I found some designers who will collaborate in 2010.

Ann-Sofie Back with her cutouts tops.

Ashish with the coolest studded jersey jacket ever.

and

Jonathan Saunders

What do you think? I'll pick Ann-Sofie Back's.

and oh

HAPPY HOLIDAY :):):)

I was so shocked yet excited when i read my email this morning. I've just found out this ah-mazing fashion show held in Shanghai.

Here's some pictures from Chanel Paris-Shanghai Métiers D'Arts 2009-2010 Fashion Show. Oh, I can't describe it, not even a single word.

You can look the rest of the collection on Chanel Official Website.

my apologize for the size of pictures, still learning how to adjust some images on tinypic

Second shocking news,

I mentioned about Target does Zac Posen on previous post. It just doesn't stop. Now Target Does Rodarte.

Yes, Rodarte, and you can grab them for $49.99.

It's been a while, yes, I cannot upload photos to blog because the internet connection here in Indonesia is really really really bad. I was fed up with it until I signed up tinypic. Faster than picasa though, but still learning how to use it. And secondly, I just don't have any mood to blog. I don't know, it's just nothing interest me lately.

Ok, so I was tagged by Regina's Coffee Shop to post about 7 pink stuff in my room.

I'm not a huge fan of topshop. I don't do shopping at topshop. The only thing that i got from topshop is a black opaques which was bought it last year.

I got this sequins top for $29 from $163. OMG, can't help it! I didn't think twice, and i just grabbed it straight away to the cashier and paid for it.

p.s sorry for the low quality of pics. My digital camera is spoiled. :( I think I should get it repaired or perhaps buy a new one

Y'all know my huuugee obsession over shoes.

“Don’t talk to me about platforms. I’ve done it all before. It bores me now. I want shoes to be beautiful, so women walk beautifully. Shoes should be beautiful - Oh, and of course, a little fun also.” -Manolo Blahnik

Yes people, Mr. Blahnik said he will do something different for S/S 2010. I can't wait to see it.

No more platform shoes. Hooray!

Secondly,

I wish HnM will open in Singapore, like seriously. I've just skyped with my friend, Marcell. He told me that Jimmy Choo is collaborating with HnM.

Balmain S/S 2010

We all know Christopher Decarnin is the genius behind the highly padded shoulder for Balmain last season.

But come on, let's get over it.

I'm extremely disappointed with his recent collection. Nothing special.

Another padded shoulder with military inspired jackets.

Recession Fashion

noreply@blogger.com (Iravirginia Komala) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 10:13:00 +0000

Oh, i know i'm such a lazyass blogger, but hey, i got an excuse for that. I'm doing my second collection for S/S2011 and yes, it's still on progress. Hopefully i can finish it on time.

Oh well, global recession also can be seen on Viktor and Rolf S/S2010. Instead of reducing their amount of collections such as Michael Kors and other American designers did, these two dynamic duo from Dutch try to express the global recession issue by cutting up the tulle ball gown dress.

First when I've seen their collection, it's just 'too safe',unlike their previous collections. But later on the oh-so-amazing masterpieces were put in the end of the show. It was incredible.
