This is a repost. I just realized a very important thing from this collection. With Another retrograde coming up, the importance of being earnest is, well, important. SGC's neutral, comfortable and mix/match friendly collection is something we need in our wardrobe. We probably have something similar from most of their pieces like the tees and the shorts. What's extraordinary about the looks is the inclusion of sheer button downs and shorts which can be paired up with anything. Talk about smart wardrobe investment.

f/w 2010

Here are the looks from the clothing brand UNCONDITIONAL which I want to achieve these coming months. After coming into terms that I have enough blacks in my closet, I decided to go full color. But after seeing this gray/black/white collection (don't we have enough) I would make an exemption. I definitely see myself rocking the sleeveless tee (top right), and the color blocked shirt (bottom middle). I am definitely in love with the star studded cardi (bottom right) + bonnet + gloves! 

Their spring/summer aren't that bad either. The starry starry tank (yes, even with US flag as shawl) is divine. I remember seeing a hole-y sweater at Mango few seasons back (an Acne knock-off) and I regret not buying it. Unconditional's degrade are a must and so are the vertical striped tee which reminds me of an old Raf Simons.

Every now and then, especially on a stormy weather like tonight, you'll be surprised on what you stumble upon over the web. While rummaging in the deepest archive of google photos about some research project, my search eventually led into something interesting. I found this fictional sexy illustrations of Red Sonja in fiery red hair and what seemed like a chainmail lingerie. The illustrations are awesome and sorta near from what I am researching about. I youtube-d Red Sonja if there were any full-length animation made about her but lo and behold, I found the 1985 movie with Brigitte Nielsen instead.  It's a fantasy movie from the '80s and since it's a pre-Peter Jackson fantasy film, my expectations aren't that high.I just wanted to see how they interpreted Red Sonja's costume but unfortunately, it's nothing close compared to the illustrated version. I just wished her hair is more red because she's RED Sonja (duh). All is not gone to waste, however. The opening scene is a visual fashion treat  with close references to Givenchy (studs), John Galliano (hair and helmets), and Alexander Mcqueen (Queen Gedren's first outfit). Queen Gedren has the best costume and check out her leggings metal details. If you wanna watch it, the full movie is in youtube. Nevermind the storyline and acting, just focus on the grand production and costume design. I also found out that there's a remake of this film on 2011 with Rose McGowan on the title role.

There's something on Sundays which I haven't told you about. It's the weekly Sunday Feeding Program. It's basically a Sunday dinner where all of our friends would come over and my housemate, Lendro, would cook fancy recipes. This tradition has been going on for about a year now and we always open our doors to visitors. These dinners dishes out the hottest gossips, hotter than the bowl of soup, and a debriefing of the week's passed. So for last night, we had Purple Cabbage Cold Salad with thin parmesan slices and vinaigrette sauce, Peppered Grilled Tuna, Clam Fetuccini in Olive Oil and Semillon Chardonnay. -Burp-

While searching for some new inspiration, these old photos of samurai warriors from Edo period caught my attenttion. I think they are very attractive. The process used to color the black and white photos brought out the rich details of their costumes. The portraits would make good editorial inspiration for summer 2011. Think Haider Ackermann and Louis Vuitton.

This blue-eyed cat print is adorable and the pullover by Seditionaries looks like a Brodarte. I like.
