Of brand names.

Very rarely do I like what Louis Vuitton comes up with. Yes, I don’t like the Comme des Garcons collection. Pfft. Besides the animal charms but they’re an exception, being the only thing kawaii about it.

But I remember this one being on the display window of their Queens Plaza store a year ago. Oh, j’adore!

LV Antigua Navy

LV Antigua Navy Striped Cabas PM

As you can see, it looks nothing like their usual ‘look at these shades of brown that are the same as last season’s and the season before!’ :P Maybe that makes their stuff classic (erm, sure), but hey, Burberry’s classic and they don’t look like the same damn thing everytime!

That reminds me of Agyness Deyn, who doesn’t hurt the label, of course…

That’s not a new picture, but I happen to like the B&W.

But shopping as I know it means big names aren’t everything and I’d happily take the cash for one murky brown LV and spend it on a gazillion other items from high street brands. And how the current trend means jack all – neon sucked, remember?

I have to say though, I’m leaning towards Dotti right now. I wonder if I could possibly pull off feminine, considering I’m always into solid colours and not floral, pretty stuff that makes you think of lavender fields. Seriously, fashion has a funny sense of timing – shouldn’t this floral craze have emerged during summer? Or at least in spring? Maybe we are wearing stuff meant for spring too early. Or we’re so many seasons ago, which would hardly be surprising considering Australia was catching up with what was popular in the UK three months later when I was travelling ages ago.

Moving on to the higher end, Kookai’s Femme Fatale dress is so kill-me-now-it’s-HOT.

Maybe it’s just the model? Lol!

I also like the Fabergas off-shoulder, even if the name baffles me. And it probably wouldn’t suit me.

Hello, Cesc Fabregas, maybe? :P FCUK is SO disappointing this season. The only thing I fancy on their revamped site is the white dress with black spots, and even then, I don’t have the legs for it. Everything else belongs in your big happy yellow recycling bins. Yes, this coming from your local FCUK-gelist.

Can’t you tell I spent all day at home, wishing I was out shopping? :)
