its all about hot broads on hot rods

the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2008 Ad Campaign

Photobucket



starring: Stephanie Seymour, Eva Herzigova, Angela Lindvall, Claudia Schiffer, Natalia Vodianova and Naomi Campbell.


Mert & Marcus' formula of writhing, high gloss bombshells is getting kinda tired. but i guess it works for them. i must admit, the images do look stunning.

elegant sufficiency




*BURRRRP*



how's everybody's holiday feastings? in our household, we practically eat continuously for three days. every year we always have dinner at the Hyatt before attending Midnight Mass, lunch on Christmas Day (which usually extends to dinner) and high tea on Boxing Day. as per usual, mum overdid it once again. but im not complaining =P here's a couple of snaps from our Christmas Day lunch with the usual suspects:

i love this year's Xmas centrepiece:

and Boxing Day (Dec 26) high tea:

nothing beats fresh scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam *drool*... my mum is a tea fanatic and she had at least 10 different varieties - from English Breakfast to Buddah's Tears - to choose from:

blown away

07/12/07


im not really a sneakers-and-tee kinda guy. though i do own a few pairs, i’ve never really gone loco over this type of casual footwear. not until these came out a couple of months ago:

named after the Greek god of the west wind, they are the Zephyr sneakers in calfskin and buffalo leather. my first sighting was when the lovely Chuvaness posted her photos from the LV press launch she attended in Vietnam last May:

the moment i saw this photo, i knew right away that i had to have them. i really love the retro bowling shoe style, but it is the colour combination of cocoa and ultramarine that i like best about them...

...and they will look even better when the vachetta leather "V" on the sides gain that signature caramel patina. plus, they are very comfortable to wear too - a gentle breeze indeed! i must say, LV footwear are the only ones i never have to break-in.

here's a photo of my two newest additions and current faves:

don't they just look good together? i think they're a perfect complement to each other. im absolutely nuts about them.

hi Allan. i keep the straps in the bag for most of the time. but i like to have that hands-free option when i need it. i will be featuring my Utah Doctor's bag soon. but i have selected a different one to feature this month. hang in there. for now, you can work out the bag's proportions in from this entry: http://deluxeduck.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2BC97BC284A007FF!354.trak

the comment above is from me, Allan (http://ofaj.blogspot.com). Clearly, I need to edit my spaces page so that my name would appear.

ay ang ganda! shet. I want those too!
I hate you! Hahahaha
P.S.
I just learned how to comment. If I knew how to comment before, I would've said something about that Kiowa tote bag. By the way, have you blogged about your Doctor's bag? I want to see how big it really is and what the inside looks like.
P.P.S.
You don't use the straps of the vertical bag, no?
