Look of the day: Standing on a platfom

Photobucket

Spent a very chilled Sunday going yum cha (literally means 'drinking tea' but is basically lunch involving dim sum, I will do a post about this soon), praying in the temple and dossing around the streets of Central. It's a shame all the old streets and buildings of Central are being replaced by new modern looking architecture, I prefer the old Central, it's a lot prettier. Went to the Prada/Miu Miu outlet Space the previous week and got these Miu Miu platforms for half price and I absolutely love them, they're so comfy for their height and the wood platform has a really nice smell, been looking for something like them for a while, had Marni in mind before I saw these, but I think I prefer these now, and at half price, I think I got a pretty good deal.

You may have noticed how creative I have been with my blogpost title (NOT) and those of you that are familiar with the FW10 Rodarte collection will know what I'm talking about...yes, the Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte shoes. I sometimes believe that I'm in heaven when I see stuff like this. Although I do find it kinda sad that his crossover collections seem to be better then his mainline collection. Regardless, he's still a genius and I ain't complaining.

I think I might prefer the full cream version, there's something very romantic about them.

Simply awesome

I wrote about Sandra Backlund's out of this world aw09 collection a while back, but her ss10 collection is actually going into production (I know it's a bit late now but at least you'll be able to get it as soon as you see this post, rather than wait and wait some more until you eventually forget that you want this, anyway...), which is a whole new story, because now you can actually OWN these! I just love the chunky yet very architectural nature of every single piece and even though the weather in Hong Kong may not allow me to wear such things, I insist that I must own at least one piece in the collection. The problem now is which piece (I'm thinking either the one above or the second one down) and where I can get it in Hong Kong?

You gotta admit that's a huge disappointment.
