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.

The Prada S/S09 Collection footwear really caught my eye; from far away they look like ordinary shoes, but closeup, the models were actually wearing socks with sandals!

I’m sure if you’re Asian you would know what these socks are (overshoes?), but I don’t remember seeing them anywhere in Europe (maybe H&M? does anyone know?), but I’m sure they’re dead easy to make. Once I get to London I’ll try coming up with a tutorial. There’s this sassy Marie Antoinette feel about them, with the fabric, ruche and bow…

For now just a few examples:

Asos Terry De Havilland Wedges Korean NuryShop Overshoes

Asos Oasis Platform Sandals Korean Gmarket

The key is to have colourful shoes – but gold socks with plain black sandals may look good too…

Edit: Anna just let me know that these were the socks&shoes combination that got the models tumbling down the Prada runway, thanks, I had no clue!! It’s crazy though, a pair of heels could ruin a model’s career… Good thing that Katie Fogarty took those off in the end!

I still think the idea is noteworthy though, hopefully it’ll work better on heels that aren’t 345inches high…

Streetstyle from Style Slicker

I love this girl’s style. The gray dress with the white tulle, the red shoes, hair tied up…so cute. a tulle skirt is definitely a mission to complete when I get back to London.

Nice DIY chain inspiration. (All my DIY missions are put on hold until I get back to London though, for those wondering why none of them aren’t being done…)

More things my mother gave me: Rabbit Stole and Silk blouse. Currently I am only wearing five layers of duvet  out because of the cold – hence the lack of outfit photos maybe.

Latest shopping. Going bankrupt because of Winter sale. Taking donations.

For good chain jewelery, check out MALE SECTION of your favorite high street shop – Topman always stocks something good. Also, if you like DIY, plain is always good. (Evil dog planning somethin’ somethin’ on those boots, muhaha)

Bummed that Topshop sale goes out of stock in about 4 seconds.

Fashion Blogs with noteworthy photography:

and of course the famous Le Blog de Betty

Just having a big camera doesn’t mean everyone can poop out photos like they do. Styling, location, theme, atmosphere…not an easy job. (Sob :'( )

That’s all.

Guess what, I think introducing Spring/Summer trends in November is absurd. Don’t shove floral chiffon dresses at me (again, floral in Spring, how groundbreaking) when I’m busy picking out wool coats and gloves.

Round Studs: check, Victim boots: on it’s way. I am planning to stud the hell out of these.
