Crispy Creams and Kendi Sprinkles

You usually want to be in sync with your partner. If X2 is in the mood for colors, I'll join him.

For starters, there is indulgence in imaginings of Risto Bimbiloski's upcoming designs for Spring 2010, where most will focus on prints of "beautiful, dangerous, and random phenomena" (a.k.a. volcanoes, storms, etc.).

It seems to me that them kaleidoscopic photos and digi-print thingies (of the jungle, metal, cement, galaxies and what-have-yah) on fabric will get even bigger next season.

And because Bimbiloski becomes more threateningly fierce as we speak, we may want to get acquainted (if you haven't) with his F/W 2009 collection. I'm digging his stuff, really.

No pressure, but in the future, I hope he lives up to expectations, because I'm really rooting for him. (True, even if I'm not a fan of Vuitton whom he does knitwear for.)

I want that jacket up here on the right side - eagle eyes, eagle eyes, eagle eyes - and in the below pic is an amazingly gorgeous dress. How so stunning.

Talk about stunning! Look at Leigh Lezark's thingy for Brit mag Tatler.

(I like her blond. I like her raven-haired.)

Leigh Lezark is my fave hipster ever. Did I mention that she's unstoppable in some cartoon-printed Versace number?

About cartoons, I got hit by the "Up" bug as well. It's a brilliant flick that's even more brilliant in 3D. And because its impression on me is not wearing off overnight, I would like to take this opportunity to post a couple of my most favorite CD covers from almost 3 years ago:

1. Best Fwends "Alphabetically Arranged"

2. Architecture in Helsinki "Places Like This"

Oh gawd this is a long post. LOL.

XOXO

X1 + X2 = The Monochromator

If you already have seen X2's previous post, you may very well say that he has quite a bit of an imagination when it comes to his perception about the two of us. It's either that or he's blogging drunk again.

We're not really big on ourselves and this is more than just an expression of our vanities, as it is really more on...uhh...never mind. So, anyhoo, just to share a bit more of our ghost blogger selves, I'm posting some of our pics for you.

This is X2 right up here. He's really hot in person. LOL! :p

In the tradition of blogging, you're supposed to be let in on what people in photos are wearing. But I really don't know what X2 has got on. I think the jeans are from Topshop, the shoes are vintage, the shirt could be American Appy and the jacket is most likely Gian Romano. Maybe he'll clarify when he sees how wrong my scientific guesses are when he sees this post he, he.

In the below, the chick that's looking down is yours truly. Hi, yah!! :-) I have on some Gian Romano jacket, an Asphalt by Karlo Vicente sheer jersey over an H&M dress, then my beloved Chanel Gun Heels and Fendi tote.

And just last Thursday, we went to the 4th year anniversary party of FLUXXE. (Just google FLUXXE, I don't feel like explaining it here. I'm rushing to get out for some drinks. Please excuse me, yeah?) It was a great party. Amazingly, we both wore Margiela. Maybe, the statement, if there's any, was that - great minds wear Margiela or something along that idea but not really. Ha, ha! :p

X2's shirt is Margiela, above photo. His pants, maybe Dior Homme or Topshop? I didn't see what shoes he had on -- maybe vintage again or perhaps them Dior Homme sneaks. I wore Martin Margiela over a Gian Romano beige dress with my Margiela pumps and I had no trouble dancing all my worries away the whole night. (I really love the shoes, they are the most perfect looking pumps I have ever owned so far.) It's me in this photo down here.

So why did I do a post about us? Maybe 'cos I want you to know that even if you don't see us here that often, this blog is pretty much us. Or maybe I'm just friendly? Condescending, too. Truth is, I just want some tete-a-tete with you before I talk to other folks outside the world wide web.

Okay. Here's to hope that we will all have a good night, the night is young. Keep on keeping on. XOXO. (Gawd, I miss the guy I used to see. Gah!)

Decadent Mess, Life in Mono

Haven't posted the usual phone cam photos of magazine spreads that caught my fancy. Fact that these are back issues now don't matter, I'm just indulging my can't-make-anyone-love-you state of mind at this moment. I'm not sad very often, I hope blogging proves therapeutic.
