When you have a long week filled with meetings and lots of work to do, it helps to rest your eyes on pretty clothes, like the Fall collection from Phillip Lim. Ah, to have a never-depleting bank account.

3.1 Phillip Lim Fall '08
When you have a long week filled with meetings and lots of work to do, it helps to rest your eyes on pretty clothes, like the Fall collection from Phillip Lim. Ah, to have a never-depleting bank account.
Laugh of the day
I haven't visited Mr Brown in a while, and it's posts like this that make me wonder why I stopped visiting. Not only is the post itself hilarious, the comments below are equally funny. I've been sitting at my desk giggling away for the past 10 minutes.
Personally, I wouldn't even bother registering with the embassy in London, because siriously, do i really want the gah-men to track my movements?? Speaking of which, I should make plans to do something tomorrow night. Maybe I'll wear red and white and eat chicken rice. :)
Ah, got to love the S'poreans. It's times like these that make me miss home. Happy birthday, Singapore!

ShooStories: Lanvin love
#31
The Shoo: Royal Flush
Circa: July 2008
Where: Harvey Nichols, Knightsbridge
The Story: Take a neverending love affair with ballet flats, a read about how comfortable Lanvin ballet flats are on I Am Fashion, a generous 50% discount, a love for the colour purple and what do you get? These beautiful satin Lanvin ballet flats which I pounced on when I saw them on the discount rack.
They really are as comfortable as have been mentioned, and while even at a discount are still rather steep, my feet are thanking me for the indulgence. My only fear is wearing them out in the rain, but they have fast become a great everyday staple - whether it's for work, shopping or a holiday.
Update (9/8/08): Another thing I love is the box the shoes came in. I don't normally keep my shoe boxes as they take up a lot of space, but the Lanvin box is definitely worth keeping.

Comptoir des Cotonniers Fall 2008
See the whole collection.
The latest season from Comptoir des Cotonniers, with the title 'Rock and Romantic' is really rocking my boat. I am seriously considering blowing my money on the black pleated dress (pictured above) and a black tulip skirt I saw in the shop.
Also, the band, Moriarty, featured on their website is fantastic. My superior web-sleuthing skills tell me that the album is called Gee Whiz But This is a Lonesome Town, released by Naive, a French independent record company. You can download a free sampler of songs, which includes one Moriarty song, if you sign up with them on their website.

Snippets of life: Portobello Market, 2nd Aug
And after that, I stopped taking pictures, as I got distracted by my nutella cupcake, a wonderfully preserved vintage Chanel 2.55 and a beautifully illustrated first edition of Alice in Wonderland. That's when the shopping got sirious.
P.S. I'm sure you've noticed that the blog header has changed. Instead of French macarons from Laduree, I am now displaying English cupcakes from Hummingbird Bakery.
