Go Brit and Go Very Punk!

It is said, Vivienne Westwood will have a biopic made and Kate Winslet will be playing the Queen of punk fashion! My heart jumped when I heard the news. Though I heard it relatively late, compared to when the news was leaked.

Her outrageous ideologies spread on to her 2 kids very well. Her first son, Ben Westwood, with Derek Westwood is an erotica photographer. Her second son, Joseph Corre, with Malcom Mclaren who is the manager of The Sex Pistols, is the founder of Agent Provocateur. WOW.

That's for earning the title of 'British Designer of the Year' t-h-r-e-e times!


**In another news flash, it is said that there will be 2 films made on Coco Chanel. But the former news tickles me more. Anyway, more visual goodies are goodies afterall!

I Need to Announce This!

Since Foto_decadent, I was hoping more of such sites dedicated to fashion photography would spring up. But nothing much with as heavy dedication to above. BUT! Here we go with Flickrista! Dug out all from the beautifully growing Flickr, let's be visually inspired.

Here's some of my selections.

The Touch of Paper

That crisp feeling across your fingertips, while trying not to crease the freshly bought and well designed book or magazine. Now, 68 pages in perfect bind shipped all the way, ready to suddenly surprise you in your mailbox!

LINES & SHAPES







I love the cover of Volume 5. Wooo, the touch of crisp paper! Now, the bummer. It's USD$29! With the new low currency rates, it should be approximately SGD$43.50. Which, if readily available at our local Kinokuniya or Borders on a feeling-so-rich day, I'd nab.

Speaking of the currency rates and stock market, I can't believe that Pounds are £1 to SGD$2.57 just the other day! Man, I wish I was on the way to London for some Primark loving. I had a £1 to SGD$3.12 conversion when i was in London last December. GEEZ!

Also. I read somewhere that through an open survey in States, everyone in the design industry have been recieving higher pay over the years. Except, fashion designers. Just had to be right!?

Ok, on to happy blog hoppings :]

You Really Should Come..!

Not just because I'm organizing this event, but also 'cos I've scored so many awesome things from here! All those vintage items on Swirl Girl's I own, were slowly accumulated from 2 years of awesome saturday afternoon flea-ing.

Oh, I'm determined to clear out my wardrobe. Even more exciting stuff that I've not shown on Fashion Diary!!! Ahem, hint. Yellow&White Patterned Vintage Shift Dress.

Oh oh! Check these links for more info too :]

Many, Many, MANY Things!

Wow. You know when everything is just running at a speed beyond you, and you just keep stretching forth to hit it at the apt speed but still can't quite catch? Too many things, one tiny brain. And I found this post which I feel everyone should take a look at. Whether you're in the creative field or not, it just feels like something you should do for yourself.
