Lady Mischief, aka Lady Loki in Oscar de la Renta Pre-Spring 2013.


Zimmermann S/S 2014

I'm sorry I didn't reply comments a long time. I promise I will but my internet lately is so fucked up I don't know what's happening with it anymore. Even Facebook is slow, but I'm too lazy to change provider.

Proenza Schouler S/S 2013

Still waiting forever for the Digital Art class to open. I decided to change to a theme more like portfolio. My cousin from US was back for a 6 months vacation and I want to live to the fullest (it means not spending 2/3 of my time on the internet) so yeah I'm pretty busy with plans and schedules.

Yves Saint Laurent Pre-Spring 2012

It sounds so weird now that it is only 'Saint Laurent'. But I disagree with the statement "Ain't Laurent without Yves" (it sounds cool, and hip, and etc etc for fashion bloggers tho, I understand). Yeah sure maybe Hedi Slimane is making a complete change with the brand, but that doesn't mean he is a bad designer (he brought the term 'skinny white boys' to international famous with Dior Homme and a heavy influence with Vogue Hommes Nippon (✿ ♥‿♥). Plus, I think menswear is harder to design - basically almost everything looks good on skinny girls - and he did an amazing job, I believe he could go on with his womenswear smoothly). In case somebody still bitter, take a look through the YSL archive and take a look back to all the recent collections by Hedi, you will see the resemblances as in fashion repeats itself. It's not quite THAT good, but it is good imo.

And you can see the immediately change in Raf's and Galliano's Dior, or in Marc's and Nicholas' Louis Vuitton, I think you can't say what Hedi did is 'cheap regular street style' (I saw some comments back there and got really confused). It's like you compare Holly Golightly (I know she's a Givenchy girl but in this case I'm refering to the 'glamour girl' term) to the cool chic like Freja Beha. 

Also I think the ad campaign of Saint Laurent with Freja Beha definitely made a remarkable defination for Hedi's aesthetic perspective, needless to say it's different than the Yves Saint Laurent of yesterday, like a 2.0 version of the YSL girl.

Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2010 by John Galliano

Lately I've been watching Sebastian Stan's movies hie hie. I like him so much. Since it's summer break I have time to go out more and I'm extremely happy. What plans do you have for summer?
Rodarte S/S 2014

I'm getting better a lil bit but still emotional unstable, like when my dad asked me to do something and I don't want to do it (like go out and buy stuffs when I'm in the middle of drawing) I got a little upset but then I stay upset for the next 24hours just for that, I don't even know if I'm upset because my dad or because it's nearly due time? I guess it'll go away once I finished the homework so must.finish.it.as.soon.as.possilble. But drawing is so hard щ(ಠ益ಠщ)

I once post a post about my fav online game when I was in junior high and how I got so attached with it I felt so sad when it got updated and changed to what today called 'a mess'. Well, they decided to re-release that game with the original 2005 version. I guess I'll have a new distraction (as if movies and manga aren't enough) (¬▂¬)
Christian Dior Haute Couture F/W 2013

I said I'm gonna have new illustration style? Here is it, though it doesn't look so different from the old ones, but I'm sure it will change from time to time. I don't draw exactly pose from runway anymore. I will try to come out with new poses, try to draw boys, learn anatomy (eventhough fashion illustration is all about long legs but then again I want to try different styles).

My blog is going slow lately because I didn't have time. I was busy with school work and my university applications. Though I still spending time stay up very late to watch movies or reading manga. I don't even want to go outside, I don't like meeting people in the 35°C weather, I made good friends with my air conditioner to be honest, when will sunny season end?
Hervé Léger by Max Azria S/S 2009

I didn't draw a flower on her face so I thought I'd cut a real flower and added to it. Is this better or drawing-flower better?
Victoria Beckham S/S 2013

Make sure you check out Louis Vuitton F/W 2014 because I think the collection is awesome and Freja Beha opened the show, the muse is back. Natasha and Sasha and Mariacarla are back too, they're just so magnificent to handle all at once ψ(`∇´)ψ

So these days I just repeat Random Access Memories of Daft Punk nonstop, my most favorite is Within. Btw it's Lunar New Year (official New Year for me) so I changed the banner one more time (to test my new Wacom too), first time draw and color in computer. It started like a mess but somehow it was ok to look at.

I got nominated the Liebster Award by lovemekayy of the blog Fashion Freedom, somehow I just keep forgetting so I had to bookmark it.

I used ink too, I think this looks pretty great. Here's to a year for me to carry on and improving. Also I changed new banner too, it's a Lanvin S/S 2011 dress, what do you think? 。◕‿◕。
Giorgio Armani F/W 2010

I also drew a new artwork:

Alexander McQueen Pre-Spring 2010

Gosh I just miss the time when Lee was here.

This time really I have to study so one post a week maybe, still trying to draw as much as I can.
Jason Wu S/S 2012

I've had a little interview for the lovely Sara Josephine, you can check out here. And make sure to check her blog too, it's full of personality and style.

Today I watched Thor 2, not impressed, too little Loki, I hate pretty much everybody except Frigga, well I like Sif but then she repeat the 'betray and i will kill' to Loki so that's sum up the whole movie. and since we won't be seeing Loki in Thor 3 or any Marvel movie later on (bless him I hope he got his own movie) so bye. But anw, I got to hang out with a friend I really like, I bought a lot of art supplies, my eyes sore when I got home because I only sleep 3 hours, but then I got presents from my friend Ms White, which makes me extremely happy. I couldn't ask for more today.

Ms White gave me two notebooks and a very lovely violet maxi skirt, my friend gave me a cute Handkerchief, and finally I bought Laneige sleeping mask (ノ ̄ω ̄)ノ  


I also bought lots of ink and new Daler-Rowney simply watercolours and they are pretty cheap so I just grab them without even looking at the prices ಠ_ರೃ I don't think the colours I'm using right now is good so I'll try using this while waiting for my Dr. Ph. Martin liquid watercolours.

After swimming in a friend's blog now I know what really is Haute Couture and his point of view of every seasons, I'm so happy there's someone feeling the same way with me about fashion brands.

Matthew Ames S/S 2011 & Richard Chai Love S/S 2012

I don't deny that fact that I was a troubled teen. But I've moved on so much it was so crazy looking back and see the past. I only heard of My Chemical Romance early this year's break-up on yesterday. And the fact that I spent my entirely teen years listened to them, I grew up with their music (and altenative rock too),  made me felt like something just died inside me. I was a emo-inside healthy-looking-outside kid though haha. I understand that all good things come to an end and I accepted it. I'm glad they made it, experienced the awesomeness of changing lives. I will forever love them.

Now I'm listening the The Black Parade and waiting time finally over I will head out to cinema next week and watch Thor The Dark World eventhough I don't like Thor but I love Loki so much ♥ (ღ˘⌣˘ღ). Probably will buy some ink and try to draw with ink too. I felt like my blog should be more fashion or trends but you guys are doing it and doing so good I don't think I need to haha.

But oh my god this is so much precious than diamonds though, THE KING IS BACK - brought to you by THE BOSS (●´□`)♡ (。♥‿♥。) (✿ ♥‿♥) The December British issues, wait for me I will hunt you down eventhough you are so rare in my place ((o(;△;)o))

Emilio Pucci F/W 2012

I'm so lazy and tired, and wish you guys a happy weekend. I'm gonna go sleep.
Proenza Schouler & BCBG Max Azria F/W 2012

Also new artwork, the dress took inspriration from Marchesa but I changed a few details.



I don't really like Halloween, eventhough I really love horror movies, and Halloween is the perfect time for my tv cable showing horrors everynight. Last night I watched Insidious 2, not as good as the first, but it was ok, if if there's one more movie then it's going down. Back home and tv is showing Devour, pretty silly movie but young Jensen is so pretty so I had to watch it. Crossing my finger for Thor 2, I hope Loki appear more than 2/3 movie ( ≧Д≦) 。

I also want to buy new Laneige Sleeping mask and BB cream and new eyes shadows and new clothes but what's the point when I have to stay home study for the rest of this year (´;д;`)
Marchesa S/S 2011

I can't wait to watch Insidious 2 with my friend next week, tbh I like the kind of horror when the end the ghost somehow still exist haha. Yesterday I went to my exam, and I passed a coffee shop and they're playing 'What I've Done', makes me reminiscing about 2007 and how Transformers used to awesome. Transformers the first movie > any robot movie evermade, no exception.
Valentino F/W 2010

Oh my I can't believe all my favorite songs are so from the 2007 - 2011, I'm not even sure where am I in this moment now.
