Zooming to the airport

What makes a fashion blogger?

There are many nowadays...all dressing up in the most creative and alternative manner to beat the trends. what do these pple do? do they have a full time job? are they rich? where do they get all their tons and tons of expensive clothes from?

lets face it, nice clothes are quite expensive. yes u can pair them with budget stuff but still budget stuff can seldom look WOW on their own. i have just seen many feature on the Paris Fashion week and lots of pple are also dressing up so pple can spot them and take pictures of them.
of course they are indeed part of the fashion world....all i can say, blame it on the internet.


Pending my trip to London, i read up a bit on Vivienne Westwood. Its weird she does not think much of consummerism and told pple to stop buying clothes!? now how can that be coming from someone who sells fashion? i think everyone is aware of the current crazy fast paced world we live in but we just cant stop or make it stop?...its really something to think about.

Anyway, the highlight of the past few days gotta be meeting JC again! its really been a long time since i became his fan and i was really wondering if i shld go to the airport to meet him. yeah its sounds crazy and all but i cant explain the happiness to see you idol in person.......at anytime. there i was on sunday morning, thinking whether to get up early and prepare to first go buy some food to give him and then to airport....part of me said SIOW...but then soon enough i found my legs just moving out of the house and heading to the airport. HAHA. and boy! i glad i went to airport. (but at the slight expense of my wallet :( road block on Nicholl Highway due to some dumb cycling event! i was so worried i will be late as the cab circled around shenton way for an alt route! Grrrr!!)

JC was nice enough although not really like relaxed....he was with his parents and 2 staff. seems like he was tired or maybe thinking of something. BUT i signalled for him to come out of the Premiere Lounge (now i now EVA Business class = check in at VIP area....hehe) he agreed! haha....
he came out and chat for a while. ok that is enough to make mine and casie's day^^

anyway, i look fwd to see JC in aug for his concert! i hope he also has much success with his rumoured gf.......really wanna see him get married!

G2000 Black Label

Faced the same problem again this morning, didnt know what to wear to work!

My office although is in town, but most of my colleagues dress really casual and simple. Nobody wears any smart corporate professional clothes. aiyah, so its a dilemma... u wanna dress up and not look sloppy but yet u dun want to overdress ....cuz sad to say, u like feel like so what "no one's looking"....haha....even the whole office building dress in a more simple way ...except for the Intl Shopping company on the 3rd floor --- now their ladies dress smart and also reflect the bigger budgets they have for grooming...i see lots of better quality clothes and bags on them!

so what is it going to be? anyway i wore a silk G2000 black label blouse and team it up with a Zara skirt. whatever....cant be a model everyday with different clothes! haha!
Now wearing that G2000 black label blouse reminds me of the wonderful HK summer sales i visited last Aug. Now, the last weekend of Aug in HK is totally madness!! prices drop to 90% off!!! its so exciting!! i remember they call it FINAL SALES. and in the morning u see tons of gals queuing up outside I.T. i managed to get many things with 70-90% off. When they clear, they really clear, and its not old stock that is 4 seasons ago but current S/S collection.

I came across G2000 black label, the clothes are of course aimed at the executive and made of better materials. a blouse than used to cost SGD100 now only $30!
I was impressed with the quality. came back to singapore, went to Raffles City to check out the new collection. Aiyo....shocked! dun have lor! the boutique was not that anymore and changed to the cheaper range from G2000 which is the Pink, Blue range with cheesy colours and designs and alot of man made materials.

I asked the girl - what happened to the Black Label? She said ...ah....in Singapore cannot sell ah...the price is too high for most people, they rather buy budget. so Sad!! so nobody appreciare smart business wear? everyone just go for $20-30 synthetic tops? i mean this is Raffles City!
anyway, if this goes on, sporeans will of course forever dress down and be trendless - eg 365 days no trend of style or season. how like this?
