Limi-tations

What I would give to be a student again, and to wear these super duper ensembles to class. What I would give. Presenting, just a few Limi Feu favourites.

I will find a way to incorporate this into my office looks - look at the gratuituous use of shirts! And I have some crazy pants that could achieve those kinds of looks.

And when is that damn Y-3 store going to open in Singapore! Finish the construction soon please!!

The Prodigal Sun





From left to right: Hui's black Zara boots, Rachel's green slingback wedges and Eric's gold sneakers.

The Prodigy's gig was crazy! Crazy good. I had a full work-out there, just jumping and throwing my hands in the air. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Also, I loved the set. Blinking robot eyes, and a backdrop with paintings of these strange engine-like things on poles.

Crazy!

North South East Westwood


This picture is to be read from left to right. When Rachel and I took a module on "Critical Discourse Analysis" at our university, we learnt that one way of interpreting the left to the right was to see it as "the given" and "the new". It was about how you had "old" i.e. an established, given piece of information and then brought to be introduced to the "new" concept i.e. never before related to the "old" except till now.


Left: How I have been feeling for some time.
Right: What I want to do, for the first time in my life. Like, really HARD and FAST and BLOODY.

A Lapse In Space And Tam


I'm sure I'm very late on this particular bandwagon. But this was the first thing that leapt at me when I signed in to MSN this morning:


That's right, my beautiful Time Lords and Lordettes. This is the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition. A laptop from HP (Hewlett-Packard), exclusively made beautiful by Vivienne Tam. It is no secret that I love the two Viviennes: the Westwood and the Tam. They even share the same spelling of the name, which in my opinion, is the best way to spell "Vivienne".

What made me sit up and gasp and nearly drop my sandwich when I saw this laptop? Well, for one it's so signaturely Vivienne Tam. How is one not to gasp? Secondly, the red is striking but not an eyesore. And this is because of the gentle way the peonies streak across the red, softening the bold colour into perfect balance. I also love that the inside of the laptop i.e. the keypad and the border around the screen are all flushed with the red of the cover. There is nothing I like more than a solid colour that weaves through the whole product, sealing it in aesthetic completion. This is something I'm very particular about, particularly for shoes. There is nothing worse than a shoe of a beautiful shape in a beautiful colour, being ruined by an unsightly, jarring, wrongly-coloured and shaped heel. There is something about the flush, that I love. Even in Poker, a flush is very much desired, not that it has any relation to this post whatsoever haha. :D

Oh and did I mention? It's called the HP Mini because it's light. So light you can carry it as a clutch. And a digital clutch for that matter.



So, so pretty! And so, so functional! What I would have done to have had this as a student. The lightness would have come in very, very useful. Ah well, doesn't hurt to just admire it from pictures and hope that someone asks Vivienne Westwood soon to put her mark on something technological.

Fashion and Machines. Yum. ♥
