yohji yamamoto, i'm hanging with the locals

mes petits cadeaux.

i received my package full of harajuku lovers goodies the other day. and by full, i mean overflowing with cute trinkets (charm bracelet, cosmetic bag) and an insane amount of perfume samples. the fragrance bottle i got was baby, which i love, but my favourite would have to be music. i'm so pleased with the size of the bottles we got - i was expecting something much smaller - and by the looks of it these products should last me quite some time.

also, an honourable mention for the harajuku lovers cosmetic bag, totally cute & kitchy as are all of gwen's products. the picture doesn't really do it justice, as it's probably twice the size you're envisioning it is right now.

matchstick really did spoil me !

cute, right ? it makes me smile.

anyways, if you read this & want to know more about the offer, visit the facebook group dedicated to it - http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24867077169 - or take the the survey to tell them what you think of the product at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=AKExmizGfIj_2fFjBIV6lqDw_3d_3d.

sometimes i think sometimes i don't

yay for matchstick !

i'm expecting a parcel full of harajuku lovers fragrance this week.

i'm so excited, especially since i was thinking of purchasing one of the perfumes (maybe baby ? or love? it's so hard to choose ...) before even taking the matchstick survey.

expect immediate feedback as soon as i get it !

in other news, i know my posts have been (extremely) delayed lately. sorry about that. i am here to make up for it though.

inspiration.

thanks to mary kate olsen (amongst others: lc wore a cute turquoise one a long time ago, didn't she ? that image is kind of stuck in my head) i've been craving a good gingham button-up lately. plaid is one thing, but gingham is another. also, i'm getting my hair cut next week and i've been contemplating various styles (see: bangs, sideswept, choppy layers, sleek or egdy) in the meantime.

music that makes me happy: gwb (fuck you very much) by lily allen; baby i need your lovin' by the four tops; wicked little girls by esthero; since the last time by arrested development; chasing pavement by adele; taper jean girl by kings of leon.

i recently realised that if ever it were to happen for someone to ask me what my favourite band is, i would be semi-speachless. and so, over the last week or so, i mulled over my response. and i came to the brilliant conclusion that the kings of leon are probably my favourite band. the fact that i like every one of their songs is indubitably reason enough for me to give them such a title, no ? and besides, half the bandmates (see: all brothers, the followills) are simple gorgeous (namely, caleb (his name alone makes me melt), who apparently had a fling with kimberly stewart and jared, whom i've loved forever).

and i leave you with jared.

demand the impossible.

maybe some of you know, but v magazine has a modelling contest called 'v a model'. i would kill to win, but i'm not delusional and i know it would never happen. i'd need over 2741 votes. i haven't yet registered, because due to my age i need parental consent. but i think i will. some of the girls there really should be models. but with so many beautiful stunners, how can you choose the winner? lucky for the judges, i've narrowed it down to the top ladies.



pretty please pick me v magazine!
