I'm back from the dead!

I know that y'all had given up on me for good. I'm sorry - work is hard, my brain is mush and I'm exhausted. But I think I'm gonna try and do the whol: forget about work when I'm out of the office spiel. So... what else is new in my life?

...
Okay no wait, there must be something, I bought these snazzy Salvatore Ferragamo eyeglasses which might be the most high fashion thing I own. They're quite cool, they've got these little crystals on the side. The funny thing is after I actually got the lenses put in and I tried them on I was a bit like... are they actually flattering or not...? Do I look a bit like a cross eyed superhero? But now I've realized I just have to dress up a bit when I wear them. So I don't shame them.

Ching Wen, Laetitia and I went to The Curve last weekend, watched Ip Man (the third time for me), ate dinner at Marche and then at 9pm went romping around Ikea. It was fabulous.

I'm bumming right now, trying to figure out what to do, I think I'm going to go take a nap or read Jane Eyre for the 5th time.

So will write when I get a life, until then - BONJOUR!!!

Me: Style Icon

Today when my Mom and I were shopping and then when Ching Wen and I were browsing I was like "I really want a button up shirt, with like a flannel type pattern but in cotton just to wear around." Oh yeah because I'm cool like that.

Anyway we went to Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge and Marks and Spencers and all of them had these shirts as the "NEW ARRIVAL" items. To Ching Wen I was like, "Oh my god this is so amazing, I just thought about these shirts and here they are, wow this is so amazing." Then I confided, "This isn't the first time this has happened, actually in Montreal I would sometimes figure out a fashion trend that would be popular before it was." Oh yeah. I thought I was good.

I went home and I reiterated this story to my Mom, and she was a little sceptical, "Are you sure?" And I just nodded sagely, "Oh yes. Sometimes I'm just ahead."

Later I was flipping through magazines for stuff to send in a care package to KW and PM and I happened upon a page with Whitney Port on it dressed in a button up shirt masquerading as a flannel. Oh wait. Then it came to me, of course I'd seen like millions of celebrities wearing it.

The more i thought about it the more I realized that I've bloody seen it everywhere. Not only that, it's probably been around for a while because all those shirts in the stores I visited are the UK's last season's shipment. Then I hung my head in shame and my google search confirmed how not ahead I was. So it turns out I'm not this amazing fashion icon and now I have to feign temporary deafness if my Mom or Ching Wen bring up my speech about my fashion prowess.

In any case I've decided I don't actually care and I'm going to buy a shirt anyway. That is if I can bring myself to pay RM 150 for a plain button down shirt...
