"..be the chemical that causes change or allow the things around to change them..."

There's always things in the world or in life that align with exactly with how you're feeling at the moment. It's beautiful how there are always hints and hidden answers in the universe that reflect what is going on in our minds. Sometimes it's prose in a book or a few lyrics from a song. It's somewhat of a comfort, I guess, that there are answers for all the endless wandering.

Snake.

This just took my love for snake skin to a new level.

*Versace for H&M: Luxe & Edgy* by ad2ict featuring h&m dresses

My first polyvore ever and when better to start than for a contest? Especially when it's Versace for H&M. I've had my eyes set on the stud out leather jacket ever since the campaign images started surfacing. I also love the lilac dress which offsets the badass factor of the jacket and accessories. One thing I also love is the contrast of Hard & Soft textures. Fingers crossed!

Unexpected Discoveries

[stylebubble]

I came across these shoes today when window shopping. I was drawn to them cause of the Margiela aesthetic. I've also been a little obsessed with the acrylic boots from Dries, so naturally this caught my attention. They're from Simone Rocha, her S/S12 collection is also amazing! Maybe it's also because of my love for all things made of organza. Nothing sexier than a button up that show some skin.

The shoes can be found at OAK in NYC or I.T in Hong Kong.

Currently Craving: Theory Scotia Cardigan

I could hibernate in this amazing sweater. Too bad Fall in Hong Kong is really Summer.

Jaded

Today was the first day of the annual Alexander Wang sample sale for Spring 2011. I got my hands on a white Jade clutch and a T tank dress in gray. The line was not that bad. I got there 1 hour earlier than the sale was suppose to start so I could get close to the start of the line and not miss anything. 1.5 hours wait in total. Not too bad. =]

Little Prayer

Few days I came across the picture of Ashley Olsen wearing a string of prayer beads. Something about it was really awesome, I loved how the tassel hung. I forgot about the until thing until a few days later when I passed by a souvenir store in Chinatown selling various Chinese items along with Buddhist prayer beads. I asked myself why it is that such traditional Chinese fashion items such as a cheongsam or prayer beads come across as tacky when Asians try to pull it off? (Remember Parent Trap and young innocent Lindsay wearing that baby pink qipao. I was jealous.)

Out of boredom, I dug through my jewelry making supplies today I decided to make my own prayer beads inspired necklace. To reinterpret the Buddhist inspired necklace, I used neon string (on trend with this season's accessories) and quartz beads at the ends of the necklace. The neon pink string is just something I got at Home depot, it's mason's line. Excuse terrible photo quality, I can't seem to locate my camera cord.
