Arnold

Recently I got to think about will power. About Arnold Schwarzenegger. About the comforts of what my life used to be and the daily small random challenges that I face everyday.. I remember when I was in high school, the way I was driven and the constant need to push myself in giving the best of me in any situation. Now I feel like I am hanging in here, enjoying the daily routine I manage to create but at the same time I do not receive any stimulus from the surrounding environment. However, I am thinking that I should re-find my strong will power that I know it's in there somewhere and push myself in finding inspiration even where I cannot find it.

Natural Hues

Similarly to what Phoebe Philo presented on the Celine S/S '10 runway, Hannah MAcGibbon did for Chloe S/S '10. Natural hues, beige jackets and pants, khaki shirts, and colorless chiffon...

Black Mink

After the typhoon went by early this morning, I decided that since the temperature is gradually dropping down I needed to go fur shopping. The black mink vest I bought today has been in my dreams for quite few weeks now, today I realized that I could not longer wait and I bought it. Now, with my nightie under my vest I am sewing a new skirt for tomorrow morning.

Celine!

So French, So Minimal, So chic...

The pleasure of a genuine laugh.

Today has been a pleasant day. Nothing much really happened but Alex took me to the Cinema Club's room on campus where we met some interesting Japanese people, who differently from the rest of the Japanese people we usually hang out with, were talking to us not because wanting to practice their English but because honestly interested in us. After the tea ceremony class, I met up with Alex again and we went to Cafe BuBu (1950's Americana decorations and Neon lights covering all the walls.), by far the best cafe/restaurant in the area around Nanzan University Nagoya campus. I felt like I am finally building up a genuine new friendship. Not expectation, not need to pretend to be somebody different than who I am... I laughed with him.. The pleasure of laughing with somebody else is something that I am slowly re-discovering.
On the way to bed now, I am listening to Julian Casablancas' new solo single, 11th dimension, recalling The Strokes "Is This It" style...

Furious Glamour!

Sequins, Glitter, Chains, Beads and Studs blending into one another, moving in unison down the runway. Once again Alber Elbaz inundated the audience with stunning his infamous furious glamour!

Krispy Surprise

This morning I woke up, went to the kitchen for breakfast, as usual, and a curious box of Krispy Kreme was on the table. So I decided to give it a try, and for the first time I tasted the infamous Original Glaze doughnut! It was pretty delicious, I wished I had some coffee to pair it with, but milk tea worked pretty well too. I like morning surprises, they make you see the day under a different perspective, a light of un-expectations! I am ready to be pleasantly surprised again and again...

Loving it!

Trussardi 1911

Milan Vukmirovic debuted his first women's collection for Trussardi 1911 at the brand's newly opened Piazza della Scala concept store on the 27th September. All these looks echoes Givenchy and Balmain's recent collections to me. The edgy rock 'n' roll sensibility that the fashion world is vibing on at present is kind of getting monotonous, don't you think?

Back in 1982

..[Andy Warhol calls from New York.]

ANDY WARHOL: Hello?

JACKSON: Hi.

WARHOL: Gosh, this is exciting. You know, every time I use my Walkman I play your cassette on it . . . How have you been?

JACKSON: I’ve been in the studio a lot, writing lyrics and working on songs and stuff.

WARHOL: I might go see an English rock group at the Ritz tonight called Duran Duran. Do you know them?

JACKSON: No.

WARHOL: I went to see Blondie at the Meadowlands last week.

JACKSON: How was Blondie?

WARHOL: She was great. She’s so terrific. Do you know her?

JACKSON: No, I never met her.

WARHOL: Well, when you come to New York I’ll introduce her. Going on tour is about the hardest thing to do in the world.

JACKSON: Tour is something—the pacing. But being onstage is the most magic thing about it . . .

WARHOL: Did you ever think you’d grow up to be a singer?

JACKSON: I don’t ever remember not singing, so I never dreamed of singing.

WARHOL: Do you go out a lot or stay home?

JACKSON: I stay home.

WARHOL: Why do you stay home? There’s so much fun out. When you come to New York we’ll take you out.

JACKSON: The only time I want to go out is when I’m in New York.

WARHOL: Do you go to the movies?

JACKSON: Oh, yes. We’re going to be working on the E.T. album. I had a picture session with E.T. and it was so wonderful . . . He’s hugging me and everything.

WARHOL: I like Tron. It’s like playing the video games. Have you seen it?

JACKSON: Yes. It didn’t move me.

WARHOL: Well, thanks a lot. See you soon.

JACKSON: I hope so . . .
