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.

Alexander Wang’s shredded chain jeans, via Style.com

First you’ll need to get ready:
Jeans cut to desired length, craft knife or Xacto scalpel, Jewellery precision pliers, chains of different width,  Eyelet set  (Pliers, eyelets)

Use the craft blade to slice a section, then scrape down. Putting a cutting board under the jeans helps.

Make some shredded holes further up.; Make a series of eyelet holes near the shredded holes for chains to pass through.

Pass chains through eyelets and hook. Repeat few more times and the same for other leg.

Beanie, Bag Topshop Jeans, Blouse Zara Vest Korea Shoes H&M

A few tips:

  • You could shred the bottom of your jeans – or like Wang’s it could be left as it is. Since I cut my long jeans anyway, I shredded the bottom.
  • Mix fine chain with chunky chains for more texture
  • Keep a vacuum cleaner ready for all the jean-dust!

Good luck!

Sweater, Pants Zara Tshirt H&M Shoes DIY Vintage Studded

I saw two pigeons giving eachother piggyback-rides today while passing a park in a bus. Strangely obscene.

PIEGON PORN, cover your eyes child. I wish I had whipped out my camera but the bus was in a race with a racing car, or something.

Yessss sorry, those boots AGAIN, but those are about the only pair of flat shoes I have for winter…

For some asking who takes the pictures, I enslave a piggy dictator called Ellen, and occasionally a tripod when she’s too busy bossing around her pig minions. Thanks Ellen <3

Trenchcoat Uniqlo Shirt Mum’s Jeans H&M Shoes DIY Studded

In certain Asian countries these trenchcoats are, like the crocodile is to Lacoste, a trademark of horny middle-aged men who flash their ding-dongs in front of schoolgirls. All of them wear this. So I felt extra special today.

Grub grub with dear Ellen in Chinatown, London. Londoners: Misato brings tapwater when you ask for the bill. Not really, the waitress barely spoke English I think, I said Can we please get the bill? and she said yeees and then brought us two drinks.

So my gas and electricity bills came. To tell the truth I have been naughty and kept the boiler running for hours and hours until I was sweating and turned on all the lights so my flat would look like some office supplies superstore (FLUORESCENT WHITE LIGHT). Except, when I opened the bills, trembling, I found out I happen to have CREDIT for low gas/electricity usage. I guess I don’t have to sell the landlord’s leather sofa after all.

The heels on those boots are so high that after dismount the Russian judge gave me a score of 8.6.

Clearly I’m having troubles settling down, and I DON’T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL.

I was looking at some photographs by Hans Feurer, love how he portrays women like warriors, set on a city landscape… Picked this one out because I fell in love with the tulle…oh Tuullle comee to meee.

Must go fabric shopping, Ellen.
