After seeing it as one of Lulu’s posts, I’ve become obsessed: Hedi Slimane’s Fashion Diary

On another note, Bestie of the capricious club has tagged me.

The rules to this are:

* Link the person who tagged you
* Mention the rules in your blog

* Tell about six unspectacular quirks of yours

* Tag six following bloggers by linking them
* Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged

Here are my unspectacular quirks:

1) I’m obsessed with girls who look like young boys and boys who look like young girls - there’s just something so wildly sexy about it, think Daria, Erin, Kate (Moss), Linda (Evangelista), and Hedi Slimane male models. Everything on this fashion diary makes me stare, and it’s rude to stare. I just can’t help, but be rude.

2) I want to be a health nut, but I have a daily dose of junk (food), fags/ciggies, and I’m just clueless about exercise. I’m not a health nut, but I recently began boxing class; it gives me a high to torture myself especially with the f***in jump rope, must be the endorphines kicking.

3) I actually turned my entire room into a walk-in-closet-with-a-small-bed to my parents dismay!

4) I wear almost the same comfy flat shoes everyday; when I have about 130 pairs of shoes and counting. About which 120 are high heels.

5) I collect dresses - mini dresses, shifts, vintage, embroidered, designer; but I’m always in cheap jeans or tattered shorts.

6) I live in a tropical country and when you peep in my closet you’ll find dozens and dozens of coats and jackets, tights and leggings, and mostly inappropriate clothing for summer.

I now tag:

black super soft coat
black knit top
Luxe denim skirt that I can live in
grey boots that I’m currently obsessed with
studded belt bag slash body bag
le boyf’s necklace used as bracelet

Uh oh le boyf has inquired. He must’ve been wondering for ages as to why his girlfriend has a penchant for men’s clothing. I mean the clues are everywhere - blazers, cropped men’s jeans, men’s undershirts, and lately I’ve been asking him to donate his clothes to me (instead of charity) if he’s no longer interested in them; I mean I never mind a few loose threads here and there or “lived in” jeans. I ironically live for these things. The more lived in, the softer, the better. Or to others, the grosser. Doesn’t matter what others say, it’s my body anyway.

Debuting the fur vest and grey ankle boots

fur vest
tattered shorts with double-waist-effect
knit top inside
black cape
red velvet bag
grey high heel ankle boots from China
my typical accessories

It was love at first site for this velvet vest with it’s lush fur trimming as well as these grey boots! I wore the boots like everyday and totally forgot about the other two flat boots I brought (a fringed black boot and ratty brown slouchy ones).This was last weekend in Tagaytay and I’m glad we didn’t do the typical lunch-at-Leslie’s-dinner-at-Josephine’s, but went ahead and had a quick lunch at McDonalds/Chowking and stayed in the hotel the entire day to chill.

Summer Style Silk metallic romper dress, velvet bag

May 5th, 2008 Mej Posted in fashion, personal, what i wore | No Comments » 47Views

 mej62.jpg

silk romper dress from a french brand i believe
hot pink studded belt, stolen from my mum’s travel bag
cheapie jelly flats i tend to overuse for the high-level comfort it lends
red velvet bag w/ lock&chain detail
sunglasses from Greenhills,men’s black rubber watch,random bangles 

As I’d said in earlier entries, I went on a 3-day vacay this weekend to ponder things over and well, just plain dress as myself and take loads of photos.  This pretty much sums up the entire feel and I’ve had a penchant for just frolicking around and lazing about since. Bad, I know. But I have several excuses up my sleeve such as “I’m going back to school and this is my sort-of rest before getting all haggard once again” and “I will have a job, uhm soon.” Photo was taken in Canyon Cove, Batangas.
