love out of lust

Here's a dress that took me literally five minutes to create! And by that, I mean, I basically slashed a diagonal strip off a rectangular piece of fabric and then stitched about two straight lines. I am now bewildered as to why people spend nearly $200 on something as simple as this. Don't get me wrong, I love A Wang's T line and all, but I'm a little smarter than that ;)

Speaking of whom... check out this video of his first ever flagship store that just recently opened last month in SoHo—for the love of your eyes. Such pretty pieces! *Swoon*

Perhaps it's the seemingly sudden shift in temperatures or the soft gusts of wind tousling through my hair, but I'm always caught up in the romance of lace and ruffles, layers and layers of draping milky silk fabrics, skirts that flow harmoniously with every step, and most of all—currently playing with the notion of spray-painting everything in my room snow white... just not quite sure if that's a good idea.

beauty is not in the face, but a light in the heart

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN? I've read, thought about, tried to appreciate, and after a while gave up on one of the most important books for youth of all time, Catcher in the Rye. I was looking forward to an eye-opening experience, to be changed by the book that Chapman squatted and read after assassinating our most beloved hero, but nothing happened, no epiphany, nothing. Did I go into it with too many expectations? I was disappointed. It's about an imaginative, witty private school kid who holes up in New York for a few days. Lost youth? This story really did have so much potential... Salinger worked for what, ten years on this? Shouldn't it have been a little bit more... spectacular? Especially with all the hype it has surrounding it? The name is bigger than the book. So please someone stand up for him and tell me why this novel is so "amazing" because I think I really missed something...
