Dressing with Magga






I'm gonna wear this while Magga wearing this.
Margaret Howell and A.P.C would be a nice combination.

Margaret Howell furniture




I like her selection of furniture.
As cool as her clothes.

Nobody knows (Dare mo shiranai)










I've seen Nobody knows (Dare mo shiranai) once and never again,
eventhough it's my all time favorite.
The first time I saw this I didn't know anything about it,
Kanchit just told me that it was a good one and yes it is...very.
Because it's based on true story so it's just so unbelievable.
I kept thinking about this film since I saw it
and that was about 6 years ago.
Why nobody knows? I keep wondering....why?

Quote: Serge Gainsbourg


Les feuilles mortes



La Chanson de Prévert

Oh je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes
Cette chanson était la tienne
C'était ta préférée je crois
Qu'elle est de Prévert et Kosma

Et chaque fois "Les feuilles mortes"
Te rappellent à mon souvenir
Jour après jour les amours mortes
N'en finissent pas de mourir

Avec d'autres, bien sur, je m'abadonne
Mais leur chanson est monotone
Et peu à peu je m'indiffère
A cela il n'est rien à faire

Car chaque fois les feuilles mortes
Te rappellent à mon souvenir
Jour après jour les amours mortes
N'en finissent pas de mourir

Peut on jamais savoir par où commence
Et quand finit l'indifférence
Passe l'automne, vienne l'hiver
Et que la chanson de Prévert

Cette chanson "Les feuilles mortes"
S'efface de mon souvenir
Et ce jour là mes amours mortes
En auront fini de mourir.


English translation via loscuadernosdejulia

Oh how much would I love you to remember
This was your song.
It was your favourite, I believe –
The one by Prevert and Kosma.

And every time “Les feuilles mortes”
Reminds me of you.
Day after day the autumn loves
Don’t stop withering.

With others, of course, I abandon myself,
But their song is monotonous.
And little by little I lose interest.
There’s nothing to do about it

For every time “Les feuilles mortes”
Reminds me of you.
Day after day the autumn loves
Don’t stop withering.

Is it ever possible to know where the indifference
Begins or when it ends?
The autumn passes, and the winter comes,
And if only the Prevert’s song would go.

This song, “Les feuilles mortes”,
Washes itself off my memory.
And on that day my autumn loves
Will have stopped withering.

Chloe Pre-fall 2010








2010 Fall collection has already started.
But I prefer pre-fall and resort collection.
They're always pared down and relaxed.
The one I like is pre-fall 2010 from Chloe.

Shopping fantasy: Max Bill Watch




I fell in love with this watch right away after I see its pictures.
It was designed in 1962 before I was born
but still look so now like it was yesterday.
I have no wonder to discover that he was a student of
Walter Gropius at Bauhaus.
Max Bill is an architect, artist, painter, typeface designer,
industrial designer and graphic designer.
I've never had my mind on another watch before.
The one that I've been wearing on my wrist is for over 20 years.
But I think I can change my mind now.

Shopping fantasy: Pink



Last Saturday my friend told me that we should wear pink
for the Chinese New Year day.
But I found out that I don't have much pink in my closet.
So these pieces are as pink as I could love.

Mick Jagger



He's one of the people who comes with the good quote.......


“A good thing never ends.”

“Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.”

“I can't get no satisfaction.”

“I don't really count myself as a very sophisticated businessperson.

I'm a creative artist.

All I know from business I've picked up along the way.”

“I must be careful not to get trapped in the past.
That's why I tend to forget my songs.”

“I'd rather be dead than singing "Satisfaction" when I'm forty-five.”

“It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.”

“My secrets must be poetic to be believable.”

“People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969.
They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you.

It's very selfish, but it's understandable.”

“People think they know you.
They know the things about you that you have forgotten.”

“Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos.”

“The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it,
but I don't want to be its prisoner either.”

Joseph Dirand Architecture



These pictures from Joseph Dirand Architecture are so peaceful.
I also like his work eventhough I'm not fond of black and white interior.
Something in his work reminds me of Andrée Putman.
Maybe those black and white colors.
(not this project but could see from his site)

A.P.C spring 2010


I don't have much interest in A.P.C spring 2010.
But trying to pick one picture that I like
and I found this one from men collection instead.
This what I want Magga to dress in theses days.
Or maybe I want to dress like him too.
