a very very bored, boring and bothersome person. I hate those who irritate but I am an irritant to some as well.

CULOTTES & FASHION 60s

Thanks to Ms Lin, I think I've finally caught up with vintage fashion and retro things... not the 80s though... I prefer them with a modern twist ie, vintage elements infused into modern items. So I'm not a vintage purist.


Speaking of borrowing from the past, I was flipping WITH (Jun 07 issue) over the weekend and came across a word that has been shelved from my vocabulary for a long time... CULOTTE. I think CULOTTES are coming back. Being items of the 1960s, I've worn them when I was a kid cuz I didn't really like wearing skirts, and to make me more lady like, mom forced culottes onto me. I remember having one that has scottish prints in black and red. Pretty quite liked it. I had another one that was milky white, and it went well with everything I had (considering I was never a fashionista when I was young) and most importantly, hid those thunderous thighs of mine. :)


I wish I had a photo of me in those culottes (esp those that looked like a skirt from the front as there is an additional piece of cloth) but I can't be bothered ploughing through the whole pile of photo albums. Here's one, if it may interest readers out there, how a culotte look.





I think those culottes that will be in fashion soon are slightly shorter and above the knees. perhaps, with a bit of tapering, and a bit more designs at the hems? I am dying to buy one. can someone please design?




anyhow, speaking of Fashion 60s, I thought this dress was pretty sweet and nice. :) I like the big round collar there. I can see some designs nowadays reminiscent of the older designs. Let's see if I can find any pictures I'll post them here...







So much about vintage fashion and the 60s, pants were really in fashion then... and with the vintage wave hitting us for quite some time already, strangely, I haven't seen much clothes of this design.





more pictures can be found at this link which I took the liberty to use here. http://www.fiftiesweb.com/fashion/fashion.htm

|| LITTLE WONDERS ~ ROB THOMAS ||

|| LITTLE WONDERS ~ lyrics ||

let it go, let it roll right off your shoulder
don’t you know the hardest part is over
let it in, let your clarity define you
in the end we will only just remember how it feels

our lives are made in these small hours
these little wonders, these twists & turns of fate
time falls away, but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

let it slide, let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine until you feel it all around you
and i don’t mind
if it’s me you need to turn to
we’ll get by,
it’s the heart that really matters in the end

our lives are made in these small hours
these little wonders, these twists & turns of fate
time falls away, but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

all of my regret will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now

in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
these small hours, still remain,
still remain
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain

Tsukiji Market, Tokyo
Unglam pockets @ Kegon Falls, Nikko National park. 40 mins away lies a ski resort & one can tell... I was inadequately dressed. I swear the temperature was a freezing 2 Degrees Celsius on that mountain.
