The Elbaz Jeanne-eration

Pure architecture.


Pure romance.


Pure strength.


Pure love.

I want to be Lanvin's entire Fall 2009 collection. S’il vous plaît.♥

Je Suis Une Femme Partagée

I've been feeling down recently. You know, those days where you see other things and wish you had them. You see other people and you wish you were them. You see other people and you wish you had them. You see what other people do and you wish you could be doing that to.

Sigh. I shouldn't start on one of those "broken dreams" type of posts. Those are reserved for the more private journals I guess. In any case, I received a little cheer in chancing upon this lovely bag from the lovely Lanvin. It's called the Happy Partage Bag. It's such a delicate pop of colour. Bubblegum pink. It's a colour I don't like to admit that I like, but it seems I do love it very, very much. Like when I saw the Balenciaga Day Bag in bubblegum? An instant desire to shoplift surged through my soul.

Ah well. I look forward to the next up once this down is over!

Grin And Alber

"A woman told me that every time she wears Lanvin, men fall in love with her.

I just had to make a post about this delightful quote that could only come from an Alber Elbaz interview. Is it not true? When I look at a woman and spot some Lanvin on her, I too fall in love with her! And as for that woman to have said that to him, what a blessed woman she is. I can't wait for the day where I can claim to have experienced this quote as well. (Even though I already have someone very much in love with me already. :p Hello love!)

And what is a Lanvin post, without a Lanvin dress?

Spring 2006 RTW, one of my favourite Lanvin shows because there were acrylic flowers in their hair! :)♥

Scarving Myself

Having been inspired by an ensemble of well-draped and fastened scarves by Natalia who runs Fashion Rubies, I dug up some old photos from when Rachel and I messed with the Lanvin dress and had wrapped it nonchalantly across my neck to function as a thick scarf.

The effect is kind of kooky - which always works for me. And it was comfortable too because the dress felt light and was in fact, an ideal scarf for this sunny spot of a country we call home.

I'm going to do that one day - wear my dress out as a scarf. Should be fun. ;)

j'ai besoin de dormir

I have just come back from a rather tiring but strangely eventful office retreat. The working world is no joke - it's pure hilarity. No, I'm just kidding. Haha. I'm also blabbering because I desperately need a shower, absolutely need to sleep, and am still mildly intoxicated...*wink*

I can't get over this Lanvin dress. Speaking of which, new photoshoot soon! Promise! Rachel has new stuff and I have new ideas which can only mean great things are happening. :D

A special shout-out to a new friend who has linked us and has a beautiful blog - both visually and philosophically. A great, big hello to Alize!

For The Love Of Lanvin

This lovely Lanvin piece was a dress I bought from a friend who had bought it from some little store that sold treasures like this on some small street in Singapore. She found no occasion to wear it, and so asked if I was interested.

And this was my thought process:
It was Lanvin.
It was light and comfortable.
It had a beautiful, black, inky sort-of graphic messily placed all over.
It was simply too lovely.

I am so glad I own this now. We've done a couple shoots with this dress and Rachel's silver wedges. I hope I've done it justice. It's such a beauty, no?
