Rara the Raccoon

(Topshop cropped rectangle top, Mango fitted jeans, Warehouse studded bucket bag, Zara platformed clogs, F21 accessories)

thanks to the girls at Monoxious, Charmaine and i headed down to busy Orchard Road sans make-up, excited to get a makeover done. what got us excited was that we were sent to La Coco's where Charm got her hair personally done by Jean Pierre who have fixed the hair of many korean artists including ss501's Kim Hyun Joong's! {:

so, for those interested, all you have to do is show up at basement 1 of OC on Sundays from now till October, get your make-up and hair done by professionals, get your photo taken and ta-dah, you might just be the next face of OC! {: it's definitely a fun experience to have with your girlfriends if you find yourself, like us, spending way too much time on the www doing nothing at all.

Fashion Blogger "Must-Haves"

in the past couple of years, fashion blogs have blossomed into something much more than just sites on the world wide web. these blogs have garnered tons and tons of viewership, enough to possess great power/ influence over the fashion-conscious masses. here're a few items that've created a wave among fashionistas across cyber-space, and beyond.

remember that iconic Crocodile dress from the Christopher Kane for Topshop collection not too long ago? i recall wanting it so bad, despite the fact that i couldnt afford it's price tag of over 200 bucks. then Zara came up with these cat-printed onesies that were very Miu Miu. they flew off the shelves before i could even lay my hands on them.

now don't tell me you haven't noticed these YSL Arty rings on the fingers of your favourite fashion bloggers. Caroline Feber has one, 4th and Bleeker's Alexandra has one, Le Blog de Sushi's Sushi has one, Rumi has a couple.. and that F21 cross double-finger ring that ive coveted for for the longest time everrrr. SIGH.

a girl cant ever have enough heels, yes? i can only dream of having those Acne Atacoma and D&G wedges, Miu Miu satin platforms and Jessica Simpson's Dany platforms in my possession. i doubt the Atacomas are comfortable but ah well! no pain no gain. im not a fan of those Chanel clogs but you cant deny how popular that chunk of footwear is. everyone has one now! tsk.

here's a little piece of advice [that i dont take heed of but am still gonna dish out to you anyway]: before you jump on the bandwagon of every "must-haves" of the moment, think. really, most readers arent very well off and blowing a whole wad of cash on items that're "hot" on impulse burns/ will burn.

ps. entries might come slow; ive started working! (Y)

so, i took a break from kpop [yes, kpop] these two days to devote myself to Copeland. their gig 3 years ago with Anberlin was the first i've ever been to. i remember how i'd felt, how their songs made me feel. now Copeland is back and that was what i wore to see them on the first night at *scape. im sorry to whoever was behind me, i wouldnt have worn heels if i'd known it was free standing. alas, the ticket printed "free seating". anyway for those who werent there, sorry but you really missed out, especially seeing how it's their last tour. they were one word, beautiful, in and out, beautiful.
