L O O M S T A T E

I came across a fantastic brand called Loomstate located in NYC but also available worldwide through their online shop. It's special for everything is made out of certified organic cotton using SOCIALLY & ENVIRONMENTALLY responsible production !!!! They fully supervise the factories and manufacturers they get their beautiful clothes produced !

Founded in 2004 by designers Rogoan Gregory and Scott Mackinlay Hahn, their collections are just pure casual classics. They claim to have "washed and softened fabrics to tumble and aged hardware" which truly rings through when you browse through the pieces. Now they have many special projects such as Zero Waste which is done with a prof for Fashion Design and Sustainability from Parsons The New School for Design !!! I actually came across Zero Waste first (on Twitter, of course) and then travelled to Loomstate ! Zero Waste's limited design is a beautiful anorak that goes for $345 and only pre-order through online and will ship November 17 - November 21 2011. It comes in an organic dark ish grey and has this high collar which calls for NECK & CHIN WINDSHIELD WOO HOO !!!!! Since I've been working at JNBY, I found new appreciation on neutral tone colours and sustainable and high-quality materials. This anorak is 100% wool and it sure looks like it will keep you 100% warm & stylish !!

Loomstate has both MENS & WOMENS collections along with accessories and more special projects. Here are some of my favourites from both Mens & Womens collections that they have; I especially love their "Classics" line, and it's phenomenal how they can make sustainable DENIM !!!! I'm so impressed, hahaha :') :')

The paragraph below is from Loomstate's About page regarding their sustainability:

Loomstate is fully committed to organic farming, which is a form of agriculture which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators, and livestock feed additives. Organic cultivation requires managing and preserving the sensitive ecosystem as opposed to stripping the land of its resources as conventional farming does. Loomstate uses 100% certified organic cotton from various regions of the world such as Turkey, Peru, Africa, India and the USA.

I WENT GAGA ON AN ONLINE SHOP WHERE LANGUAGE (AND CURRENCY WAS TOTALLY A BARRIER).
WWW.FAKETOKYO.COM

---------remember that I have a huge soft spot for hideous things.....

This ain't too hideous. It's actually really nice. Especially the super cropped back !! AND GUESS WHAT !? It's unisex, too !!!!!!!!! *__*v

I don't know if I like his hair more than his skirt, or the actual jacket, or.. Yeah you get my gist. THIS IS SO EPIC MY EYES ARE HAVING A FIT. You know what also gives you a fit !? TRY CHANGING THESE PRICES to a currency you understand. You'd be falling off your chair by now. Chiching, bye-bye ~

Yes, I just can't get enough of the Olsen twins. They provide me with the thrill of unaffordablehandbags, affordable (so tempting) shades, and the cheap (OMG HOW AND WHY DO I NOT HAVE A TEE ALREADY !??!) StyleMint shirts. Here is the selection of shades from their luxury line, The Row, that I like from Net-A-Porter: (probably forever)

MORNING UNCLEAN CAMHO DIARRHEA

Hi y'all.

I also shop at work. PAAAAAAAANTS from JNBY !

To-Do list: Watch The Virgin Suicides.

Here's a laugh.

Okay, SHOWER TIME BB CAKES !!!!

WINTER DREAMIN'

C A N ' T W A I T F O R W I N T E R !

I know the weather's super nice in Vancouver and all right now.. but it doesn't even make a difference. I'm working almost everyday and I'm tired of the sun, happiness, tanned skin, and the ideals of summer. I just need cold, dry skin, snow, rain, and layers of clothes.

F A L L / W I N T E R 2 0 1 1

Derek Lam [fur, poncho things, black dresses, motorcycle boots w extra heels] How can one NOT be excited for FALL WINTER !??!!?

Proenza Schouler [New Zealand-ish tribal print, separate pieces that work as if it's a jumpsuit, leather, and bold deep colours] Can I go traveling and f*ck school this winter ?!!!?? GOSH.

But here's the big thing:
DEREKLAM X PROENZA SCHOULER = WILFRED FREE PONCHO CAPE

On the Aritzia website, it shows that the cape only comes in one colour, but that's a lie. Because I went to Aritzia today and tried on TWO different colours. I liked both. I'm seriously thinking about getting this. It'd be a piece that I would wear everyday to school..... during finals season. And to bars and clubs, obviously-

Haha, too funny. I know. Okay. I'm losing it cuz it's like 3 am now.
Good bye !!

The sun's coming out.. and

WHAT TO WEAR 2011 SUMMER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (PART ONE)
Learning from Resort 2011

Balenciaga tells you what to wear to work and work functions either a getaway (if your work sends you on one.... WTF) or to a nice food party in the sun. It's all yours. Take the spotlight with very simple pastel coloured outfits; make sure the colour blocking is non-existent and that you are in ONE colour head to toe. Less thinking !!! And go wild with colourful and texturized heels !!


To sport the Marc Jacobs's outfit on the right, you should pay a visit to H&M where you can find basically all the pieces !!! They have a white flowery, layered skirt just like that there for $49.95. All yours, ;)

AHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!! STELLA MCCARTNEY !!! I know that you know that I flip my cornflakes for Stella. Blue ! Fresh prints ! And Black !!!!! Simple heels and shorter pants; don't be afraid to go for the SLEEK look and no boho or grungy/messy hair.
She's got a few lace looks, and those are easy and boring to put together. So just grab a few lace pieces (I mean they are EVERYWHERE.. Urban Outfitters or Aritzia) and wear 'em out all throughout summer ! :)

Thakoon - Easy yet graceful. If you can rip your oversized tees and make it look as good as Thakoon, I hail you. LOL, in my opinion, this is just very easy look but if done wrongly.. You may end up looking like a MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN FROM THE MARKETS... Maybe that was his inspiration !? All the busy markets in Thailand !??!?!!?!?!

How the Olsen's are dressing to their meetings !

Anyhow, more to come later. Enjoy the sun !!!!!!
I'm so so so very excited for my friend's wedding tonight !! AHHHH !!!!!!
