I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

New Look AW10 Press day

I confess, I wasn’t going to post today… or tomorrow. In fact, I wasn’t going to post till I’d submitted my graduation piece on the 25th. So basically, I think that while handing out slaps in the previous post I knocked meself a few screws loose in the process because the 25th is in a WEEK’s time. A week of silence is probably the blogging equivalent of chronic eczema, and today I was itching so much to blog so as you can see, I chose something easy to put up. O forgive me for being cold and heartless. So now I can go back to convincing myself that painting my nails with Chanel Riviera pink (Thank you Julie for the wonderful gift) is making bigtime progress. Nails need to be painted so fingers have more confidence in labour, NO?

New Look AW10 was strong on shoes & accessories – I always appreciate how well made their shoes are, considering the prices. I’m not entirely sure but I might have missed the clothes section, what do you think? Looking forward to snatching up those brown leather loafer wedges a la MK Olsen, and the black suede lace ups come September!

    The brown loafer wedges are really nice, they look crazy high but hopefully they are still easy to walk in! I am loving the red velvet backpack, I’d probably end up buying it if we had New Look in Canada!

    Yes, I agree! Nice nails motivate me to type faster, write more, keep my page on that darn thick book I have to get through… after all every little thing helps right?

    I have always been a fan of newlook shoes from afar, although I dont own that many because the few that I have are not as comfortable as I would like them to be! Nonetheless, the A/W collections looks amazing, I’m looking forward to adding more New Look shoes to my collection! I especially love the cream booties. Thank you for this post, I’m excited now :) x

    I am SO with you on this one: “Nails need to be painted so fingers have more confidence in labour”. I haven’t figured out a way to explain why my nails need to be painted for me to feel okay, but you put it perfectly. :) good luck on finishing your graduation piece! I feel your pain :]

    25th! that’s my exam… and why am i here? :P

    the shoes look good but a shame they’re of suede material. i think the nude ones are worth a shot.

    Very cute, though the floral bag in the first picture does leave a bit of a sour taste in my mouth as I saw that exact bag on a Japanese e-shop months ago.

    I loved the shoes and accessories at the press day. You didn’t miss much with the clothes, it was all pretty boring/ridiculous and not in a good way.
