New Obession

Akira Minagawa. Seriously. Everything is so adorable and sometimes boarder-lining grandma chic. Apparently, Minagawa designs a more "affordable"(we're still talking in the hundreds here) line. The name?

Oh, you got me.

I saw more updated collections on style.com and I was about to stop checking out the spring/summer '11 collections because everyone is making super white, super boring clothes (albeit, very crisp looking). White is awesome but everything is just so... so... bland.

But then I saw the "Steven Alan" link and thought that the man never failed me before, maybe he won't now. He didn't. (Thank God).

Seeing this collection makes me summer ready, all over again.

But until then, I can just obsess over fall/winter clothes instead.

Red capes are adorable. And a printed dress with birds on it?... sold & sold.

Argh! Chie Mihara!

So. My aunt has this one pair of old ladies, 70s loafer, stacked heel pumps. They're actually very beautiful and in excellent shape. I've been thinking of wearing them but first I must magically shrink my feet about 1/2 a size smaller. Right. That's completely possible.

Every once in a while, I think of these shoes and I think maybe my feet has gotten smaller somehow and I shove my big fat feet into them. No. They haven't gotten smaller. They fit but I'm sure if I actually wore them outside, my feet would swell up and explode. So, no thanks.

Wait. Am I just trying to gross you out with stories about my feet? Of course not... 

I was dreamily browsing the FW10 collection on Chie Mihara's website. And be still my heart (and yours), the perfect perfect shoe. (Yeah. 2 perfects, cos one wouldn't do the shoes any justice).

Ugh. Unfortunately, it's one of a few shoes that doesn't really seem to have a date on when it'll be put onto the shopping portion of the website. But I managed to find them in a different colour but it's not the same. I need red-brown shoes. I never realized that but once I saw them, I knew that life was about red-brown loafer pumps. Seriously.

N.B.: The shoe is "Muma" and not "Liron."

Oh, so smitten!

There must be something about New Zealand because a lot of the designers who I absolutely adore are from there (e.g., Karen Walker, Arabella Ramsay). And now there's a new obsession: Juliette Hogan.

And I've been secretly obsessing over Juliette Hogan for months and months now. Ever since stumbling on her FW10 collection "So Pretty, It Hurts," all I can think of is where to find myself a grey silk, pleated skirt. I'm still obsessing.

Can you blame me? Check out her FW10 collection and tell me you're not a little smitten. Seriously.

Like Some Sort of Underdog. Or Wallflower.

(without any of their qualities other than being forgotten at times and underrated.)

You know, sometimes we talk about the Johns, the Christophers, the Stellas but we don't talk about The Peter. Wait, who am I talking about? Peter Jensen, that's who. He's all campy-ness and quirk and British, all rolled into one. I never really loved him, not really... but he's stepped away from just random quirk and kind of made things a little more... wearable.

Let's talk about the accessorized details: oversized old lady clutch purses? the shoes? I don't know. How can you not love Peter Jensen?

Wait. Still not completely convinced?

C'mon.

AND his logo is a rabbit. How can you beat that?

P.s., yes, the model is wearing some bunny sunglasses.
