Spring/Summer '09 Ready-er ;)

Uh... Happy New Year! =D

Owe you guys a blog post, it’s been a while. Two-week holiday here in the Philippines, have just gone back from a beach break. Windy, cloudy weather, though. Didn’t get much of a tan, no matter how hard I tried.

Yep, I also do love the sharp-shouldered jackets and the pop look of Stephen Sprouse-inspired designs but that'd be past 10 items. Silk rompers are kinda okay, too.

So there. Hope this helps enough. xoxo.
