Yayes! One more week of uni until the Easter Break! Yahoooo!

I've been trying to organise my life and thus, the reason why this blog (and other blogs) have been on the end of my "important" list. It's horrible, I know and it's going to take me awhile before I can get this blog back to its 4th place after uni, work and social life...(which is still pretty much the end of the list....hahahah xD) lol. Doesn't sound much of a life does it? Urk, I'm sounding absolutely dreadful and good gosh, I really need to get this doom and gloom atmosphere out of my mind and heart!! And lol, here I am wondering how when I've got one to two assessments every week for the next ten weeks. Yes, assessments and to think I was pumped up for uni to start again...I was beyond my expectations. And lol, so yes, here I am thinking that the easter break will provide me with lots of chocolate to ease my depression and to increase my adrenalin.

Urk. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Let me start this post from scratch again. (o'.'o)

I've been really hyped up about Fashion Week in Japan and I do every year. ^^ Love, love, love. And with deepest regret, one thing that I didn't talk about last year was the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' and so I'm going to talk about it now. The Tokyo Girls Collection, held twice a year, is known as the fashion festival that features dozens and dozens of famous artists performing and glamorous models strutting down the uber-long (45metres to be exact - good gosh, is that longer than 'Victoria's Secret'?) LED catwalk in 'Japanese Real Clothes for the World.' When I (they) say real clothes, I (they) mean the fashion forward and affordable labels that can be bought now, as opposed to the fashion presented in Fashion Week, which is intended for retail the following season. The best thing is that it's truly like a fashion festival where it's quirky, fun and happy. The next best thing is that anyone can attend and view the fashion festival. You don't have to be the next Anna Wintour nor the poster girl or that to-die-for celebrity. You can just be you and oh, of course, you have to have the ¥3,000 entry fee/¥5,000 (aprox.) AU$30/AU$50seat in the stands or the ¥10,000 VIP (aprox. AU$100) seat right next to the stage. Now...since I missed the 6th tokyo girls collection on March 15th 2008 (as well as missing Chemistry's performance), could someone give me a plane ticket to Japan just in time for the next Tokyo Girls Collection festival, please please please please please?? ^^

So whilst I wait for this plane ticket of mine, I shall youtube and surf the internet for the collection til my heart's content... And I know I'll find street fashion parading on the catwalk - not necessarily my favourites but still absolutely wonderful...

[^v] titty&Co.。「Love」、「Gorgeous」、「music」 range debuted this year.
I really, really like the geometric print of the maxi dress below...well, I probably wouldn't like the print/pattern upon it if it wasn't for the colours. Those colours are my love. ^^

[vvv] Luv.Ronde also debuted this year and I was quite disappointed with the outfits, they weren't ... me? lol. xD However, the shoes that the models wore were awesome and ooh la la - tres magnifique!

[^] Okay, so I said I was quite disappointed with Luv.Ronde's outfits but this dress of theirs caught my breath. I'm not sure why. Perhaps I can visualise so many ways to wear this dress - I just love dresses that can be versatile and this is one of them.

[^v] I read somewhere that models threw away teddy bears to the crowd as they modelled down the catwalk. Why I couldn't have been there to catch one? And I wonder whether they threw away giant wine bottles to the crowd as well??


[^] Dress by Spiral Girl and modelled by one of my favourites: Jun Hasegawa.

[^v] This year's Blondy collection is soooo sweet & kawaii, don't you think??


[^] I've been looking for a white shirt-dress just like this one designed by Double Standard Clothing for it's Unusual Escape range!! I wonder how much this is... cheap enough for me to grab my hands on??? *dreams*... ^^

[^] Check out this amazing and may I add colourful dress by Double Standard Clothing. It is so cool!! If you look closely (click on it for a larger view), it's a collage of flowers printed upon the dress. Very, very cool.

[^v] Smork by Language.

I just wanted to show the picture below, not for the outfit, but for the hair. I want hair just like that with flowery things upon my hair. ^.~

[vvv] The next three photos are of lingerie by Ravijour and omgosh, all I can think of is Britney Spears in her devastating state when looking at the photo below. (o'.'o) The two other outfits are very powerful I think...



[^v] HbG. I would like a pair of those yellow overalls please... and can I have those pair of pink heels please?


[^v] Fabolous by Cecil McBEE


[^v] by Alba Rosa. I really really like the outfit above - a perfect outfit for catching up with girlfriends over coffee.

I hope my plane ticket to Japan will be coming soon...

xD
