Might or Might Not Be

I will just keep this simple. For those that are still reading or happens to stumble upon this blog, thanks for visiting. But if you notice the date that I update this blog is not so frequent anymore. I took a look at my posts and realized that I only updated a total of 6 post from the month of April until July. When I look at fashion blogs, I do not have that kind of enthusiasm that I had last year anymore. Simply said, I might be leaving this blog, left it unattended until the day comes that will lift me up with the same kind of excitement as the day I started this blog. Who knows, it might be happening in a week, or when fashion week starts in September, next year or sadly, never. I can't guarantee when I will write again, or post a new post. What I can guarantee is that I will leave this blog as it is. I really hope that I won't be leaving too but my time are preoccupied with so many other things and my lack of inspiration is making me decide otherwise.
Till we meet again. Signing off.

Coolest Cover Girl, Indeed


It's been a long long time since Freja appears on the cover of Vogue. This is a pleasant surprise and seeing her looking so lovely with all the orange outfit and pink pastel colors on the cover is surely makes up for the long absence of covers that Freja had. Famously known for her androgyny style, this is something unexpected of Freja yet she manages to pull it off just amazingly. For a beauty like Freja, a simplistic pose like this is just more than enough.

Oh My...Jac

It's always covers like this that I can't absolutely ignore that pulls me back.


What can I say? The cover speaks for itself. Jac is stunning and there are no words to describe this cover. It's so beautiful, too beautiful for words. That's all I can say.

Offline Mode

Sorry, I've been lacking in updating lately. I've been focusing on another unrelated blog recently thus making this blog dull, unattended and empty. Lately, I have not been giving much attention to the fashion world- what's going on, the cover girls etc. I will try to update as much as I can, I promise. Another high point is that this blog has hit more than 22,ooo visitors- though that may not be much- but, that's A LOT to me. I started this blog because I'm just a little fan of Coco Rocha and her G2000 ad attracted me. Little did I know that I will be following fashion later on. Deep down, I'm still a normal shirt and jeans kinda person but now, I know a lot more about fashion, models and designers than my peers although I'm still a rookie in the fashion world.

Before I leave, have you heard of Imogen's blog. Our favourite cute model have one of her own photoblog, Poison Dart .Make sure you visit it!

Frejarina


Soft and hard edge. Only Freja can work this look. Love the amazing pose, the ease at making such a difficult movement. Two of the opposite combination match together. Freja and Craig McDean collaboration is superb. So loving it!

Cover Girl


It's very rare to see a model on the cover of Teen Vogue. They usually favor teen celebrities over models. So, to see Karlie on the cover is quite surprising but it is no surprise that Karlie is on top of her game. She is of top model status now- going strong on editorials, runways, covers and of course, nabbing a few campaigns along the way. And, yes, Karlie is still a teenager. The cover itself is fun and young. And, for once, I don't mind the font overload- it goes pretty well with the outfit, Karlie and Teen Vogue.

The Kennys

There are quite a number of model siblings in the fashion business. There are Missy and Frankie Rayder, Gemma Ward and her sister Sophie Ward, and the lesser known Aida and Ieva Aniulyte.



This season is all about Ann Kenny and her twin sister Kirby. Though both of them are twins, they stand out separately. Ann is by far the more successful twin with her brunette long hair and fierce stare. Kirby is the more sweet girl next door twin with her blonde hair and her big doe eyes seeking for your attention. Together, this pair of twins have walked Celine, Marc Jacobs and Burberry. Apart, Kirby walked for Miu Miu while Ann did Prada.

Better keep an eye for this twins!

Kim Noorda's Battle with Her Weight

No one ever knows. No one ever thought the beautiful Kim Noorda, with sparkling blue eyes and milky skin has been battling with her weight gain.



This is Kim Noorda's story. A story that we had became familiar with, of almost all models experienced, their fear of gaining weight and maintaining their "perfect ideal weight" and being pressured by the fashion world. What they don't understand it that the fashion world is asking these girls to put their health at risks and making them feeling so insecure about themselves. Models like Kim started out when they are still teenagers and when they grow up to be adults, the fashion world just won't let them grow.



It's a pity, really, doing these to our beloved models. They are human too. I wish Kim Noorda all the best in finding her true self. She is so courageous to share this with all of us, telling us that models are human too after all.
