Tshirt Topshop Jeans H&M Shoes Korea

Merry Chr…no, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone :D! I hope you’re having a blasting start to a fresh new year, making all kinds of resolutions that you kinda already broke at 00:12, and promising yourself to finally remember to write 09 instead of 08 around June-ish. If you’re Korean, hey congrats you’re a year older! (why?)

I love starting a new moleskine scheduler.

^ looks like I’m mid-song, feeelin’ it.

So sale season has begun. Zara looks like a bombed up marketplace…and these boots were now affordable. So I tried them on, and when I decided yeah, I could do with some L’autre Chose fringeboot lookalikes, and tried to take them off, they wouldn’t come off. So I was all bent over in the shop corner, tugging and pulling, almost being disjointed at the pelvis…and then it came off finally…

Then I bought it. The impossible-to-take-off shoes…I don’t really know why.

No, there was no zipper hidden among the fringes if you were wondering.

I’m so not over this yet, I remember watching Alexander McQueen’s F/W 08 runway around October and just going Ohhhhh WOooow through the whole thing. The colours, the rich fabrics and the embellishments…they’re so against the current economic slump but they sure got my spirits up!

Marching bands, witch fairies, Indian, British, French, Russian royalty… what a celebration of culture:

So now I’m thinking I need me a few yards of tulle, white tights, and Indian Khussa flats…

These are some shoes that do not belong to me because I have a MAESTRO instead of a MasterCard. Damnit, sux being an international shopper sometimes. Can you believe these are $39.50?

I think shoes will be the only items to be exempt from my 2009 Purge-black mission.

I think I would’ve named my blog CAKE & COFFEE if it wasn’t for my sanity that persuaded me to do otherwise.

Pulling an all-nighter writing an essay about something I know nothing about, called for desperate (read: Truckload of calories) measures. I think I finished a box of JellyBellies in under an hour.

And yes, now I give approval to hang up Christmas decorations. Come on London, October is not a good time to put up Christmas stuff. I got sick of the decorations by Halloween.
