Meet My Manolo


Hi y'all!

Today I want to talk about shoes. This particular pairs are so strange. So much strange that it is a la mode. I know this shoes might been out for almost 3 months ago now but I didn't expect to see this shoes anywhere out from the runway itself. Turns out that I was too dumb to realize that those could be a literal bomb, a granade even. It's everywhere now, I don't know if people really wear it in real life I don't care; this is the infamous waist-high boots from Vetements X Manolo Blahnik.



This shoes was on the Vetements' Spring 2017 show which we all know that was another 18 brands that made collaborations for this show including the renowned shoe god brand, Manolo Blahnik. I was like, "This is a (((NICE))) boots, I would definitely use it for shoots or something, but oh, that one is cuter," denying the fact that if Rihanna had her hands on it months before it even released, their destiny would be guaranteed good.



It has the literal meaning of waist-high boots. It has several colors as you can see on the show of course. Below is another appearance of the pieces outside the show (most of all its Rihanna, so):

Rihanna was seen on them orange satin mega boots at the OVO Fest in Toronto.

Rihanna wore it again for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards performance. Bitch betta have my money to get those boots.

Just when the 2016 September issue of Vogue released and I got to took a peek on Kendall's spread, I THOUGHT there was the shoes. Kendall was seen running through some fields using the black look alike pairs. I thought the shoe made another appearance but turns out it wasn't it. Anyway, the shoe fits perfectly with the whole ambience. It might look awkward at first but after some time it will collide beautifully.

Basically me when running late.
Ya as you seen Kenny's running so do I. I kinda getting late to an appointment so I think it's enough for today gurl I see you when I see you.

Vogue Colors A to Z: A Fashion Coloring Book

Welcome back!

How are you guys? I hope you are as fabulous as I am but if you're not, its ok we've all been there. Today I want to talk about my new obsession....... Which is coloring. Like toddlers. Yeah, it's everywhere! Adult can now color like juniors because there are a lot of adult coloring book from various publishers on stands around the world. They call it an anti-stress coloring book, so adults can reduce their stressing level with this kind of books. So I did a little research on how a coloring book can actually help you with stress and anxiety. And just how I whink this book would do, the Co-Illustrator of The Creative Therapy Colouring Book told The Huffington Post that "When you're coloring, you're not really thinking about anything else. In that moment--when you're sitting down with a traditional piece of paper and some pens, no apps, no noise--you almost got back to being a kid again. Colouring provides a bit of escapism,". Yup. Escapism. In the same article, some of the people told that this book can actually shoo their headaches away and that recent studies have shown that "The majority of adults feel like they are constatly looking at a screen, and crave a slower pace life."



 But for me, I just like coloring. So I bought this one:

I'm so fancy

This book was out earlier in April this year. I didn't expect to find this because I was looking for a regular adult coloring book with boring animals inside. And then after I swam onto those stacks of coloring books I found this one! What I love the most about this book besides its Vogue (of course) is the book features old Vogue covers ranging from the year 1912 to 1932. Like, imagine you are some Vogue editor and deciding which color this girl wear for which issue. Do you feel me?


There's actually a lot to color inside! Like, it actually took a day to finish a page. Are you kidding me? This book will never ends. From the title Vogue Colors A to Z: A Fashion Coloring Book only,we can all just jump to how this book works. They have like 26 or something main covers to color based on alphabetical order from what the main idea of the page, like A is for 'Automobile' which has a cover from a specific year that features a girl in a not-actually-a-car-looking car and B for 'Boa' which presents another cover with a big snake on it.

It took a whole afternoon for this. I'm sorry.


This is really fun because I love fashion and I love history and of course COLORING itself! I really can't wait to finish this book of ancient fanciness. I think it will be great though if Vouge later decided to bring up their latest covers to this format so we all can color on our idols faces; especially the Kardashians! Who's with me?So for y'all feeling dizzy of life; get a coloring book! Just color it..... color to the end of it..... color to the end of your life....... Of course not! Get yo ass to work when you think its enough coloring!


XX,

The Bang of My Head

Have you ever seen something so great you get goosebumps and keep talking about it even it's only with your head? And next thing you know, your head is not working like the same again? That's exactly what I felt when I saw Prada Fall Winter 16 Ad Campaign. I'm not even going to talk about the actual collections, just these series of intriguing aesthetics.

So, for the last half of this year I was doing internship as an PR Assistant of a luxury brand retail which looking and analyzing at contents of various names of fashion houses was what I was fed from 8 to 5. Until I swiped on some magazine and bumped into some photoworks that felt so dark yet filled with sophitications that choked me and turned out it was this sick piece of works:
Prada Fall 2016 Ad Campaign
I know, right?

The campaign was out and about later in July 2016 by Steven Meisel featuring a lot, I said, A LOT of no less than 27 models ranging from Milla Jovovich, Danielle Ellsworth, Freja Beha, Raquel Zimmerman to Fei Fei Sun, but of course my favourite one is the one with Natalie Westling #myhero up there.We can see them walking furiously--effortlessly OUT through the boundaries of everything basics with of course backscenes of breathtaking landscapes. As Prada said on Rue Now, the reason of this big production with such large cast was so a single face isn't linked with the Italian fashion house's latest collection.

"I know, right" part two, right?

After finishing all the works series then I took the second look of each of them to observe and learn the actual collection. Then I thought, "Interesting." Then took the third whole cycle of LOOKING back at the campaigns. I'll let your eyes have it (again):

These are some pictures I can show you, you know, you can Google that yourself because it's literally everywhere now. No, no please just BUY MAGAZINE, like, the printed one. It will be more satisfying, you know. BUY MAGAZINE, okay? A lot of 200-something pages of the real thing, okay? But to complete it all, Prada of course also put the campaign in a moving pictures as you can see the video below, thanks to YouTube:


Ok, I know its great but I think we should stop exaggerating now, no? No? Ok, I'll leave while you mesmerize around those exceptional constellation up there. 




Enjoy!
