punk

it's definitely back, but in a new way. minimal knits, almost too proper for punk with layers of chunky bijoux, gives me a few ideas.

by now, you should know i'm not one to tog on a dior homme shirt. no, and i admit, i don't wile in that category of spending. i delight in spending on small items from a growing pool of really talented local labels. i'm obsessed with this bow tie i got from depression people (link), from their shop at parco milennia walk. i was not a bow tie person, but i seem to be drawn to a different image nowadays. less and less drama, and more controlled these days. i don't know about my detractors, but i kind of like this new direction.

last night was a blast. three of my favourite brands congregated in a small corner of orchard central to set up shop. reckless ericka (link), blackmarket no.2 (link) and elohim (link). and what a brilliant idea to hold their openings together. i missed seeing some old faces around. it was a blast.

i love how she holds her bag upright, kinda adds a lengthening effect to her look.







the magic is the wholesome look, the love is in the details.
