Giveaway: BB Dakota Military Jacket

The brand name “Sir Alistair Rai” is synonym towards the PYTs and fashion mavericks in Hollywood, with its line of scarves adorning loved celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Hayden Panettiere, Julia Roberts, Halle Berry and Jessica Alba. England-born designer behind the brand name, Kiran Rai, designs the pieces meticulously to highlight messages of peace, promote global awareness and introduce ancient teachings into today’s world. Each scarf comes with its own personal message of love, peace, hope, karma, and kismet (fate). Kiran Rai also birthed a collection of dresses, accessories and bags into the mix and has ventured into the shoe and hat department following the success. “Sir Alistair Rai” houses a mixture of deftly-embellished caftans and dresses with eccentric prints that are a sure-fire way to garner public admiration. Aside from ready-to-wear, Kiran Rai also designed unique clutches that capture the eye with intricate beadwork and the significant peace sign.

Confused

Alexander Wang pocket t-shirt, Topshop plaid shirt, vintage Gucci crocodile bag, Alexander McQueen jazz shoes, Maison Martin Margiela (for men) barbed wire ring, Topshop acid wash shorts

I am collecting oversized plaid shirts at the moment (collecting, pssh-- more like silently borrowing from my sibling) as cover-ups over loose t-shirts, paired with vintage slings and manly shoes. I am evolving into a man! Sadly, the Maison Martin Margiela ring (discovered via Lulu) is made for men, and men only. Damn. I need bitchin' jewellery in my life!

PS! Going for a costume party tomorrow and thinking I should be going as Lil Wayne/pre-famous rapper who might or might not be directly involved in a recent drive-by shooting/Kanye West. Decisions, decisions..

Black & white never fails

What I wore to go on a month-long quest for slouch beanies/sequined tees ala Proenza Schouler (down below/click "outfit" label) with a maternal parent-- almost similiar, but I couldn't find my items online. I wore a leather jacket & lace-up boots by Zara, vintage gold chain-strap bag, faux leather leggings by Forever 21 and my father's tattered white t-shirt. This post would look so good with a picture, wouldn't it?

Me on Chictopia.

A night out with the femmes

Proenza Schouler sequined top, Topshop black skinnies, Topshop platform boots, Topshop leopard head ring, Marc by Marc Jacobs "Strippy Zippy Nati" bag

Hmm I might need to tone down the excessive love for monochromes. I am also working on a genius/evil scheme to get the M by MJ bag for my sweet 16th coming in December.. because the pain from the weighty pricetag of the Alexander Wang zippered hobo is too unbearable to take. Cross your fingers for me, will you?

P/S: Does anyone know if Commes des Garcons for H&M have arrived in Italy? My sweet best friend is going over the land of chiselled beauts and Rei has taken over my mind. Damn you, Rei.
