Shopping fantasy: More Sandals

And I would buy all of these in my fantasy.
Though I never thought I would like the gladiator style
but Camille from Childhoodflames had changed my mind.
She is so adorable, fresh and inspiring.
She's only 14 years old but has a chance to be in NY Fashion week
because of her popular fashion blog.
She packed only a pair of sandal (and it's from Target!)
and wore it with every outfits and she made them all amazing.
I love when people wearing the same thing for many times
I think you have to be creative to do that.

See how amazing she is on her blog.

Shopping fantasy: Sandals

It’s been raining all day in Bangkok lately.
So I’m dreaming of sandals.
This pair from Tine K is so irresistible.
I can't decide whether it should be black or red.

If I were an employee again

I've been a self-employed interior designer for over 12 years
and find myself couldn't go back to be an employee again.

I do miss something about working in the office
like getting dress up everyday or chatting with my collegues while working
but not about waking up early before sunrise and driving to work for an hour.

Though it's not easy to be self-employed in Thailand
for you're sometimes not being respected from somebody and also from the government.

Going oversea is a lot of problems for being asked for lots and lots of documents,
you have to prove yourself more than you think to be creditable in others people's eyes,
especially going to USA and Japan.

I used to think that being a Thai women is such a difficult task if you want to go oversea
but now I realised that being a Thai self-employed women is much more difficult.

Things are getting better now but not from what I've been proved for many many years
but from..... getting married.......what a world!!

But no matter what I've been through I swear I will fight for everything
to continue doing my own work and not go back to work in the office again.

But if I have to......I wonder if I would be lucky enough to work in this kind of space.
Cool idea in great surrounding.

Jean Touitou's Dazed digital interview

Jean Touitou, the founder of A.P.C has an interview with Dazed digital.
He gives such a witty answer.

Production or Creation?Procreation

Radical or normal?
Normal is radical now.

Wood or Steel?Concrete, wood and steel.

Roger Moore or Sean Connery?
Roger who? You gotta be kidding me!

Rock or disco?This is too private.

Raw denim jeans or check shirt?
Raw power.God bless

America or god save the queen?Godmiché for the Queens

Evolution or revolution?
At this point, we need a conscience preparation, then we'll see how fast things can be changed.

North or South or East or West?North by North-West, of course!

Cat Power or Lou Doillon?Chan can sing, Lou can laugh.

Rollerskate or skateboard?
Rollerskates before 9 years old. Not more. Beyond this age limit, rollerskates should not be forgiven.

History is a very good drug. Art died with god

Trotsky or Mao?Dantec !!!! (I know it's easy to say that now, but both had a terrible understanding of Marx. Mao deserved to be terminated with a mountain pick. Trotsky didn't deserve that.)

Ray Davies' voice and lyrics moves me more than anything.

Elitism or Popularity?
Aiming for mass elitism.

Style or Substance?
Style without substance is too Warholian; five minutes of fun, and ready for the bin... style needs substance - even when an incredible substance has no style, who the fuck cares! We crave for great substance.

Quote of the day "Jean Touitou"

Jean Touitou and Sofia Coppola

This picture is from Jean Touitou's blog (wrote in French, English and Japanese)
He has a great sense of humour!
What he wrote for this picture is
"I am working on a dress for Sofia Coppola.
It's fun to make the outmoded posture of a fashion designer at work.
Here I play an ironic comedy about myself."
His blog is so inspiring like his clothes.

Instant house from Poliform

From my point of view, you hardly go wrong with the Poliform furnitures.
They set a trend in furniture design and their catalogues
always come with a a good styling.

And now their new instant house project called "my life 80 m2"
is just so "poliform" which is a simple stylish design.

Poliform said...
  "It is not a built house but it is produced through an industrial process 
and is located in the most varied locations of the world: 
a process that takes its inspiration from the traditional prototype houses, 
that aroused passion among famous architects like 
Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Frank Lloyd Wright, 
Charles Ray Eames in the twentieth century"

So I think you can' go wrong with their house either.

More details at their site.

My favoite pictures of Charlotte Gainsbourg

Such a beautiful woman with a very strong personality.

Can't take my eyes out of them

Charlotte Gainsbourg and Sofia Coppola are two of the people
who I've been searching for images all the time.
Not only from the clothes they're wearing it's also the from the personalities they have
that make them become the icons for lots of people.
I also like people who's wearing the same things for many many times,
not like other icons that you rarely find them wearing things twice.
Charlotte and Sofia are wearing the same things in different places for many times.
I saw Charlotte wearing the same jeans for over 3 years
and Sofia wearing the same sandle for lots of time in many pictures.
Maybe that's the reason why I like seeing their images....
for figure out if I've seen these pieces before and how they make them differnt.
But no matter what they're wearing
they always look like themself.....that's so inspiring for me.
