Jeffrey Campbell Clinic wedges

Dear Oak,

You can has all my monies.

I was doing my usual routine of surfing the 59476234 fashion blogs and online shopping sites when I came across these babies. Oh, how evil you are Oak, how you tempt me so. *sadface*

Anyway, I have them in my cart, I just need some advice from them regarding the shipping. Actually I have no idea if they ship to Singapore. *gloom* What if they don’t????

Anyway, here’s the link. You can find them at Oak NYC.

Nope, this post has nothing to do with Rick Owen’s drkshdw line.

I just got the Junction dress (okay it was some time ago) from the Complex Geometries A/W 2009 line and I realised I haven’t taken any pictures of it.

Have I mentioned that I love clothes that can be worn in different ways? I love how the dress makes me confused which arm goes into which hole but I guess that’s the purpose of it.

The cape-like back allows for an awesome drape when I loop both arms in it.
I cldn’t resist playing around with it.

It’s no secret.

I profess my love for Complex Geometries I would love to own every single piece in black…. okay, in white and grey as well.

Here we have the Complex Geometries Spring / Summer 2010 collection photographed by Tommy of JAK&JILL.

I can’t exactly say that I love every look as much as I did for the A/W collection for 2009 it’s not just because of the choice of colours i swear. There isn’t much layering options cause it IS a collection for Spring and Summer and it all looks pretty meh on it’s own. However, what I do love is the incorporation of sheer fabric into the usual loose drapey silhouette.

Another thing I do like is the ruched up sheer leggings. They do give an interesting texture and I think I might have to try my hands at making one with really soft tulle someday.

Much as I do love Tommy for his work on JAK&JIL, I don’t think this lookbook fully displays the potential of Complex Geometries clothings.
I love Complex Geometries’ clothes for it’s ability to transform into something else, to be able to wear it in more ways than one and it’s a lot of thought and design process involved into it.

And I don’t see any reason to include more than one figure wearing the same outfit unless it is to portray it being worn in a different way. I don’t need 5 figures of the same model in the same pose wearing the same clothes. /rant

Overall, picking a high profile photographer amongst the fashion bloggers could be a double-edged sword. I will still love Complex Geometries for who they are but this Spring/Summer lookbook looks haphazardly done. I think the White Tshirt Project was so much better in comparison.

So what do you think? love it or hate it?

I have a love hate relationship with online shopping. You can get almost anything you want off the net and it’s great that online stores offer international shipping, but that’s also the problem. I’ve been doing too much shopping online, seeing as to the places I’ve been going to are not so exciting. Shopbop and ASOS has my monies.

Then, I came across this sweater from Nasty Gal.

It reminded a whole lot of the Topshop sweater from the A/W 2008 collection that Effy Stonem (Kaya Scodelario) was wearing in one of the episodes in Skins Season 3.

An unfortunate looking screencap was all I could muster. I’m sorry Effy, you deserve better.
But I redeem myself by finding the stock photo from Topshop. Not exactly the same as the one from Nasty Gal but similar. I can deal with it.

There were still smaller sizes when I bought it but there’s only M and L now.
Happy shopping everyone!
