It's Been a While Old Friend.



Wow wow wee wow.

So I came across these two pictures of Anouck Lepere's pictures of her in PlayBoy France I was totally blown away. I sound like a total pervert but she looks hot! I didn't even know that was a French version of PlayBoy. I definitely prefer that version to the fake tan, big boobs and blonde hair extensions girls we see on the covers of the American PlayBoy. (Cough *Girls Next Door* cough)

Wow, I can't believe it's been a whole five days since I last blogged. Time really does fly I guess! This weekend I didn't end up going out of town, instead I decided to stay in LA and hang out with my girlfriends. I went to visit my friend's awesome new apartment right in the heart of Hollywood. I'm totally jealous.

This weekend is one of my good girlfriend's birthday, and I'm so excited. Tomorrow morning we're all going for breakfast at a place called Toast, then going for dinner at the Geisha House and bowling the same night. On Friday we're all going to... *drum roll please* SIX FLAGS!!! I'm so excited it's going to be a great week!

Here is me wearing my recent purchases:



Outfit #1: H&M dress, Urban Outfitters belt, TopShop shoes
Outfit #2: Lux dress, motorcycle jacket, TopShop shoes

I've seriously got to stop shopping. I think I might have a problem. No, really.

Until the next post! :)

Feeling Blue...

The dresses have arrived... at my boyfriend's house in the UK.

I just finished school for the day. I got an A on my midterm... I suppose I should be happy but I've been feeling quite sad lately. This week has gone by very nicely though, so I don't know why I'm sad. My school had their Graduation Carnival which was really cool, lots of wonderful food, fortune telling, cotton candy, mechanical bulls, caricatures, tacos, corn dogs... it was really awesome. Followed by a midterm at 6 PM, then drinks at a friends. My poor liver must be suffocating because that night was gruesome, lots of drinking. It was nice to catch up though.

Maybe it's the weather. It's overcast today and it honestly feels like shit. I have random bouts of homesickness because I miss my family a lot, I haven't seen any member of my family for five months. It uplifts me a little is that my boyfriend is coming to visit in less than three weeks. I'm so excited to see a familiar face again! Oh and did I mention how uber stoked I am to be graduating??? Probably not because all I've been obsessing about is the Kate Moss TopShop dresses which make my heart palpitate.

I'm hoping this weekend will be fun. I'm going down to San Diego to visit a friend from high school. I think it'll be nice to get out of LA for a couple of days.

Nicole Richie has been really on her game lately when it comes to her style. I personally think her style has improved since she's had Harlow. I like her style better now because it just seems so freaking effortless:

"Where's my babydaddy?"

I think today's outfit really reflects how %!&*!@%@ I feel on the inside:

Wearing:
  • TopShop boyfriend Blazer
  • TopShop ruffle top
  • MNG jeans
  • Jazz lace up shoes by Fairy tales do come true
  • Thomas Wylde scarf
Have a good weekend guys. And thanks for all the comments I promise to reply soon.

World's Greatest Boyfriend

Last night I was obsessively trying to order the red pansy print dress from Kate Moss TopShop (that I've mentioned 3 million times) and I wasn't able to, and I gave up and went to bed. In the morning I barely had time to talk to Kevin, my boyfriend because of my internship I was so busy. He e-mailed me saying he bought the dress for me because he was worried it would sell out (which it did). So when I did have the chance to talk I asked him what color he bought (between the purple and the red) he wouldn't tell me, and I said "tell me later" and hung up because I was styling a photo shoot for my internship and couldn't be away for long. He then e-mailed me again and said he wanted to surprise me because he bought me both dresses! I was so stoked I couldn't stop smiling, just because I know he loves to surprise me like that. They've already sold out in the stores and on the website. I won't see the dresses until my graduation next month when he comes visit but I feel so lucky! Wow, I totally sound like a slave to fashion.

Kate Moss' latest collection of TopShop has now cropped up all over eBay, which makes me so angry. Because I think the clothes belong to the people who actually want to wear them, not to people who hawk them on eBay for 300% the original price! It's so unfair!

I haven't formally introduced you guys to my boyfriend yet. His name is Kevin. He's 20 years old. We met in high school in Bangkok, and have been together since February of 2003. He's amazing. We have been doing long distance since September of 2006 and I'm so happy to say that in June that will all be over! As I previously mentioned I'm moving to London and he's currently studying in the United Kingdom as well. Technically we won't be in the same town but it's better than being a 10 hour flight apart. Here's some pictures of him from when I went to visit him and his family in Switzerland:

I miss him so much. We get to see each other every three months which I feel so lucky for. He's coming for my graduation in 3 weeks and I'm literally counting down the days. He really is my best friend.

Here's what I wore to my internship today:


Wearing:
  • Kate Moss TopShop t-shirt
  • MNG Jeans
  • TopShop gladiator sandals
  • Kate Moss TopShop silk tailored coat
I desperately need to stop wearing TopShop soon. I think my other clothes might be feeling jealous. ;)

One perk from my internship: I got a freebie today. A Thomas Wylde scarf to be precise!

Life is good right now :) But I do apologize, this was quite a hefty post. I hope you enjoyed it though!

4 hours and 45 minutes

So like any other Kate Moss fanatic I'm counting down the hours to when I can order her Summer 08 collection. I've seen previews for the collection and let's just say that life really won't be the same unless I have certain items in my closet. As previously mentioned my heart palpitated when I laid my eyes on the red pansy print dress and I predict will be sold out within the matter of minutes.

Of course there are other items which are also really beautiful, and very reminiscent of Ms. Moss' personal wardrobe:


TopShop alone never fails to amaze me, let alone Kate Moss TopShop.

Speaking of all things British, I've come to realize today that I am graduating from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in about 4 weeks time. It's really difficult to believe that two years have flown by so incredibly fast. I've had a blast living in Los Angeles, even though in the very beginning I felt like a small fish in a big pond. I moved all the way from my home, in Bangkok, Thailand, leaving my friends and family behind to pursue an education in fashion. I knew that after FIDM I really wanted to continue my education at the London College of Fashion (University of the Arts) and I am so tremendously excited to begin my Bachelor of Arts degree in Fashion Journalism there. I'm moving there in September and I can't wait to begin life in London. I'm so happy to have spent time in LA but I really want to live in several places before I settle down. I would be so proud to say I've lived in three of the best cities in the world: Bangkok, Los Angeles and London.

Anyway! Here's what I wore today:

It was scorching hot in LA today so I wore something that would keep me cool. I'm wearing:
  • Issue blouse (from Bangkok)
  • American Apparel skirt
  • TopShop gladiator sandals
  • Urban Outfitters feather hairband
I'm actually not entirely sure I like this outfit 100%, but, it was an experiment.

Upstaging the bride?

When I saw Nicole Richie in this dress, there was no way I couldn't update. Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were married this weekend, but honestly, who really cares about that? All I care about is Nicole Richie in this magnificent butterfly sleeved floor length dress she sported at the wedding:

That's about the best angle I could get on her, oh my gosh that dress is utterly fabulous. Drool.

Rocking Robyn


At the very late hour of midnight last night my friends and I decided last minute to attend the Perez Hilton after party for the very beautiful and immensely talented Robyn. Also in attendance was Jeremy Scott and Jeppe from Junior Senior. Let's just say I was about 5 feet away from Robyn and my friend next to me couldn't stop screaming "Robyn is a baller". I think how the night went was pretty self-explanatory. What was even cooler was that I somehow ended up on the Cobra Snake website:

Unfortunately I wasn't really camera ready and ended looking like a sour puss but, nevertheless I had an amazing time and Robyn was so cute. And of course the music was absolutely crazy, especially when they started playing tits and ass, the whole crowd pretty much went nuts. Honorable mention goes to this lovely lady who insisted on giving her name card to Robyn:
I hope I'm not politically incorrect by saying how much this hot tranny mess made my night, she was pretty fierce. Not as fierce as Robyn though.

And now the obligatory what I wore today... although once it again it was technically yesterday:

Sorry my photos aren't so glamorous but they will improve over time!

Wearing:
  • Forever 21 multi colored dress (I'm in love)
  • TopShop open toed lace up booties
  • TopShop large bow clutch (not pictured)
So that was my Saturday night/ Sunday morning. Unfortunately, I didn't even get to meet Perez or even see him! Apparently he was only there for 10 minutes. Bummer. Perez I will meet you one day!

Love,

Sarah

P.S. Here's the story of my life right now...

Mischa Barton Cannes do it!

Let's been honest. All the young, hot Hollywood ladies are in a fashion funk right now. Lindsay Lohan? Too many leggings. Paris Hilton? O.T.T. Nicky Hilton? Snooze fest. Even Mischa Barton has been missing more than hitting lately, until I came across this picture of her at the Quintessentially/ Margherita Missoni Party at Cannes, France:


Now that's really a look that Mischa Barton should keep doing over and over again. Just everything about this Missoni dress is perfection: the length, the material, florals (my current obsession), the ruching at the neckline, it's just amazing. This dress just screams summer perfection. Honorable mention also goes to Jade Jagger, who was looking pretty fabulous herself:


Two beautiful people, two beautiful dresses. What more could you ask for?

It was a beautiful day, in LA

Good Afternoon lovers!

Yesterday I had a midterm in one of my classes, and I think it went quite well. I actually spent more time thinking about what I should be wearing instead of studying for my midterm. But overall, the day panned out nicely. After my midterm I returned to my apartment for some R&R, before heading to North Hollywood to visit some of my best friends, and had a nicely girly talk with them. I really treasure nights like these, because to me, it's all a girl could ask for. Good friends, a night in, and a heart to heart.

Anyway, back to business. Something special is happening 3 days from today, and if you haven't already guessed, it's the unveiling of Kate Moss' TopShop Summer 08 Collection. Anyone who knows me knows I am a TopShop die hard fan. On May 20th 2008 I will be on the TopShop website and hopefully will be able to purchase this dress. Kate Moss doesn't even have a clue on how she completely reinvented tea dresses, and TopShop has clearly caught onto that, making every variation of the tea dress possible. The question is, where did it all come from? When did it all begin? Well, two words mi amigo: Pansy Print.


The Original

The Copycat

Of course that was pretty much what sparked the fascination. I barely even remember who I was before then. Haha, I kid, I kid, but seriously though I've just been in love with Kate Moss' style ever since. The picture's from December 2007.

Now it's time for the obligatory "what I wore today" picture, although technically it was yesterday.


  • Kate Moss TopShop dress
  • TopShop open toed lace up heels
  • Urban Outfitters delicate initial necklace
Alright, I've blabbered on to much. I guess it's the excitement of starting a new blog. I love it.

Have a good day!

My very first post!

Oh my gosh. I've succumbed. I've totally given in. I used to blog when I was 16 or so, then I used to blog about my weekends, encounters and of course my oh so drama filled life (not really). Then I gave up that passion for blogging. But now I'm back, and hopefully for good.

My name is Sarah. If you may have guessed by now, I live, breathe and poop fashion, or so I'd like to think! My blog will be a place where I post my musings, and everything in between life and fashion. But let me tell you a little bit more about myself. I was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, where I attended an international school. I graduated and moved to Los Angeles, California to attend fashion school, and I'm graduating in June! And I'm moving yet again, to the fashion capital of London, in the United Kingdom, to continue school and attend (you guessed it) another fashion school. The London College of Fashion to be precise. Am I excited? Yes. Am I nervous? Yes. Am I ready? Definitely yes ;)

So my first blog will end right here for now. I hope I didn't bore anyone who read this too much. Hopefully this blog will improve over time.

Much love,

Sarah
