Her Flair: Humble Beginning

Despite of my stubborn pattern of thinking--that people who are talented and ambitious enough can path their way from the middle road (not from the bottom one), I finally come to a conclusion that no matter where you start, if you want it bad enough, you will finally achieve it. This time, I sallute Kate Ciepluch, Fashion Director of Shopbop.com who is featured in The Coveteur--one most coveted website that offers us to peek into the fashion insiders' houses and DROOL.

Kate apparently started her journey "working at their original brick and mortar shop in Madison, WI on the sales floor, folding tees and hanging dresses while she was a young'n during her freshman year at University of Wisconsin" and crafted her way to the current "elite" position after she was graduated. The corporate ladder is no easy thing to climb but her persistence and keen endeavors inspire me. Lastly, it was an instant love from me once I drooled over her stuffs inside her New York apartment, including the fact that she got that Catcher in the Rye's cover framed (thinking of doing similar thing later :p).

Saturday Remix: bold bold bold

Quick Saturday remix (I am actually thinking of making this as permanent feature :p) I compile is the style of two quirky bloggers who are among the "pioneers" of fashion blogs--one comes from Indonesia, and the other one is from UK. Both Diana Rikasari and Susie Bubble dare to wear mixes of colours, prints, textures, and even shapes without forgetting the balance of the whole outfits. Such consistency of style inspires me, leads me to grab myself more patterned clothes and colourful shoes. I really wonder though, if they ever collaborate together then the collection will surely be whimsical and totally unexpected.

Have a nice weekend!

too gorgeous

I can't believe how much love I have for Leighton Meester! She's too gorgeous with her fab and very very inspiring role in Gossip Girl, as Blair Waldorf, and also her singing career! I do really really envy her--she has it all, the face, the skin, the body, the career, the hair~evrything! People say nobody's perfect but she is. Damn beautiful and yes, I can't take my eyes off her..

Cheers!
