To you I bid farewell.

For about 1 year and 5 months, I've been Mademoiselle New Yorker. This little blog of mine has been my project that had turned into my baby (metaphorically, of course). But time passes and sometimes we must trade what we love in the hopes of achieving something greater - yes, that sentence is evidence to my 3 hour classes of both humanities and critical thinking which is all basically focused on philosophy; it does rub in. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, yesterday and today I am still Mademoiselle New Yorker - a young aspirant with an ambition beyond the horizon; tomorrow I, together with my dear fashion buddy Zoe, will be behind The Band-Aid Diaries. So please do keep track of our adventures or misadventures that is and all the other things that go with it. See you there bitchezz! :)

The Band-aid Diaries

Shop first study later.

Off to HK even though it's the middle of the week and I'm about to miss 7 classes with all its lectures and tests. Oh well, adios bitchezz! :))

Is it backtrack or flashback?

Looking back at Elle's April '09 editorial styled by no other than Erin Wasson brings chills down my curvy spine. I just love the very essence of it which is the movie - Empire Records. I love the style; the doc martens boots, the cropped tops, the faded denim. Seeing these pictures reminds me of the infinite love story of the characters played by Liv Tyler and Johnny Whitworth or Renee Zellweger and Still of Coyote Shivers singing "Sugar high" on the roof of Empire Records. It's 90's all over again.

Lanvin for..

H&M has done it again. They're bringing out another designer collaboration and this time its with Lanvin! My eyes literally bulged when I was reading about it. I just hope it comes out in time for my HK trip! :))

One of the most hilarious movie scenes

Since Im on my sembreak (for 3 whole weeks) I am determined to revive this blog. Its been drought-y here for the past few months. So I hope that'll change even just for the next 3 weeks :D

The Lady Gaga of Fashion Week

Anna dello Russo is the Editor at Large of Vogue Japan. I must say I didn't like her at first, but its hard not to bow down to her. Watch the video so you'll know why! In the words of Christian Siriano, she's one hell of a FEROCIA COUTURA.

Irina's back!

Debut

After weeks and weeks of waiting for it, the moment finally came wherein I entered a bookstore and saw the magazine that had my [very] long awaited article. So here’s my first ever source of pride and joy; and hopefully, a glimpse of my still unpaved road of journalistic future. *insert drum roll*

Speaking of debuts, here’s my dearest fashion buddy, zoe laurente – featured in Cosmo Philippines’ Style Paparazzi – UAAP Season Style Spy.

Catch the July - August 2010 issue of Pulp in stores now! (naks.) :))

Fox Tail

Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2010 collection showcased an array of accessories that were highlighted by tassels and fox (or fur) tails. A few months ago, I saw a couple of bloggers have their own interpretations of Louis Vuitton’s spring accessory.

I recently saw a faux fur tail and I have to admit that Im close to giving in and jumping on the bandwagon of "fox" tail wearers. Im choosing between a medium gray or a large black. hmm cant quite settle just yet. Or maybe even both! I guess we'll see how it goes..

Anxiety attacks!!

The day has finally come for me to "shop till i drop"; looking at this article sends chills down my spine. On July 2, the Philippine fashion will certainly have its revolution, and I, will travel to the ends of Edsa for the glorioussss opening of FOREVER21!!!

these shoes are made for walking

My latest shopping impulse are these sweet Philippine fashion week babies that were presented by, wait for it, SM department store! And yes, I do shop there occasionally. They're actually quite comfy - comfier than it looks; and what's cool about them is that I get to wear them day or night! Im really impressed by SM's shoe collection; though they get some of their designs from international designers (ex. Alexander Wang) but atleast they dont have the audacity to charge mega bucks for stolen or "inspired" designs! hahaha so lets all channel our nationalistic side and buy local!


P.S. hooray! for my first personal post! :)

Plum Sykes

I only have a handful of favorite writers and one of them is Plum Sykes. Her debut novel “Bergdorf Blondes” was for me, the epitome of a well written chic lit. It was smart, witty, fashionable, and the plot was just fit for my taste. Sykes already had her second novel out which is entitled “Debutante Divorcee” but unfortunately I haven’t found a copy yet but it’s still on the top of my list. But beyond making great easy-to-read books, Sykes is a contributor to American Vogue where I think she is believed to be Wintour’s protégé. And as an avid fan of Anna, I can safely say that I have no objection whatsoever to Plum Sykes being her little Emily. I think Plum Sykes is downright great. She’s smart, witty, and fashionable – just like how her novel was. She’s another brit so I guess that’s a common factor between her and Anna. And ironically she seems to look a bit like Mischa Barton who is another brit. Haha! So here’s to Plum Sykes who I am rooting for as the next editor-in-chief of American Vogue. I guess if it won’t be me, it might as well be her. --> ambisyosa. :)
