HYDRANGEAS AND SATIN

Looking forward to Spring this year? It's all about new beginnings. With a little help from the wonderful tools over at SMP, I've put together a medley of tones found in the Aurora Borealis range I just couldn't resist ringing in the New Year with. Happy 2010!

Bangkok Mall Finds! (Balenciaga Cotton Stretch Skinny Denim + 27 Friday Grey Patchwork Blazer + Greyhound Asymmetric V-Neck T-shirt)

A wonderful and eventful past 2 days, meeting up old friends, checking into my favourite Bangkok hotel, Le Meridien Bangkok, wine and dine at Bamboo Chic, lounging by the hotel pool with a cute new friend and last of all a education and yet fun thai cooking class at Blue Elephant.. WOW... I think I did more than I would have in Singapore. Talk about restful vacation, it's non existent in a city like Bangkok. But I am happy. Especially with my very memorable morning with my cute new friend:-) If you are reading this, you know how much I enjoy the short time we spend:-P

So after much delay, I finally had time to compile my pictures for my shopping finds on Monday! Shopping excitement to get unique and interesting pieces:-)

First up, another Balenciaga pants from the fairer gender to add to my wardrobe. The fit is great, the fabric is comfortable and lightweight while price is at 50% off ...how can I resist. Welcome my new pair of Balenciaga Cotton Stretch Skinny Denim. I love the Khaki Olive colour which is military chic for the coming Spring Summer season!

Another most surprising find is this wonderfully quirky and special '27 Friday' Grey Blazer with Patchwork Details. Quite understated while being eye catching, the blazer has a fitted cut, gorgeous to touch lightweight fabrication and interesting tone on tone fabric patches all over the blazer! Definitely not something you can track down anywhere in shops easily! So I had to buy this very limited release piece since I am a blazer fan:-)

Lastly, the draping look is getting my interest these days. Something along the lines of Rick Owens, Damir Doma or Julius. So when I saw this Greyhound Asymmetric V-neck T-shirt with unusual displaced seams, it was love at first sight. The soft fabric drapes beautifully on the body, creating a design by itself and the green colour adds a punch of visual impact to any outfit.

Tommorrow is new year's eve...so wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Le Meridien Bangkok is having wonderful new year's celebration menus from THB 5500 for 2 inclusive of a bottle of Moët and Chandon. I think it's such great value for new year's eve celebration at such a cool hotel! So if you are in Thailand.. this is excellent to spend new year's eve!:-)
