Arizona Muse in Vogue Australia

She's not exactly a fashion muse, but you have to admit Arizona Muse is a beauty. Her divine features and strong eyebrows are very unique among the fashion world, but I had never find an editorial that did them justice. Along with the strong styling and minimalistic background, Arizona is truly one of a kind.

Fashion Blogging is Overrated.

"Why are you saying fashion blogging is overrated, if you're blogging about fashion yourself?"

You would probably asked me after you read the title. Why is fashion blogging overrated if you're a fashion blogger? You just contradicted yourself. Let me explained: 


It's both a good thing or bad thing that fashion bloggers are getting so much support over past 2 years or so. In fact, we gets much more attention from giant fashion houses and magazines than when we first started out. Bryanboy and Susie Bubble sit next to fashion legends like Anna Wintour in Paris Fashion Week. But after blogs like Man Repeller and Fashion Toast took off, and everyone think that they can be instantly famous by taking pictures of what they're wearing, and be buddies with Carine Roitfeld and Lara Stone.


Honestly?


Fashion blogs doesn't feel as genuine as they do at the beginning. Anyone can take a picture of what they're wearing and make up some bullshit description about it. Or look at runway pictures and dress up in trends. It's uncomfortable looking at all these blogs with posts upon posts that say nothing but the fact that they have a huge wardrobe. In the "old" days, one way to slowly capture fame is to have unique content that people want to read and update on a constant basic,then slowly building a readership and community. But most bloggers these days don't have time and patience, so they just suck up to top and popular fashion blogs.


Whenever I saw a comment like "OMG I LOVE your blog! Follow for follow?" or "Nice dress! xoxo, *insert name*," the chances of me judging you as a fame-hungry airhead is pretty high.


What do you think? (One more "OMG I LOVE YOUR BLOG!" and I'm moving over to Tumblr. Just kidding, Tumblr people can be superficial too.)

Details: Alexander McQueen Spring 2012

It had been 16 years since McQueen had sent the infamous "bumster" trousers down the runway, and one can't help but feeling sentimental. Sometimes, I just sit here and wonder what he would come up with this season if he didn't commit suicide. He incorporated intricate details into his collections, making fashion a form of art like no one had done before. Sarah Burton had figments of McQueen's vision, but she could never replace McQueen, ever. That could be quite difficult, considering that McQueen had already done almost everything.

This Spring 2012 collection is part Alexander McQueen archives inspired, part sea creatures(see, I told you mermaids  sea creatures are making a comeback!) These headmasks caught my eye. McQueen was known for having outrageous headpieces, but I like Sarah Burton's soft and feminine approach.

Note: Blogging about this collection more in depth later.

Call It What You Want

Black and white with a feeling of nostalgic seems like my seasonal ritual, while being melancholy about wasting away my summer. Listen to Foster the People to understand what I mean.

Strike a Pose

I haven't been posting any editorials lately, if you have noticed. For me, if blogging means to post all the magazine editorials and lookbooks from Fashion Spot, that just loses its meaning. However, I found this one   , starring Lara Stone, particular interesting. The styling is very femme fatale, and the poses just made it perfect. I think I found my favourite photographs for this year.
