bra buying is the hardest.

Seriously, off all the bras that are offered, I can never tell which one I like the most. Because usually, I don't like any. They're like basic white Ts - almost impossible to find, but crucial to any wardrobe.

And you'd think it's the easiest to pick at least one bra a month, out of the sea of bras out there. Yeah, well, it ain't.


Never you mind that there are a bunch of ordinary white bras, because they're dull and out dated (yes, I think a bra can be outdated), and never you mind that there is a little ocean of lace bras, which I highly recommend, provided you need to hoochiefy yourself fast. And then there are those insufferable push-ups with way too much "stuffing" and an ugly cut, yes I hate those.


I want a basic bra made with quality fabric, with a nice cut and a good, perfected detailing. A little lace here and there, maybe some mesh, or some original sewing... Because for me the magic of a clothing, or anything else for that matter, is in a detail.


My friend Ada and I talked about this "issue" and while she's not into lace, we both agreed on the importance of simplicity finished with good detailing, and we agreed on how much we like Wang's (no surprise here) underwear, especially this bra:




very nice, no?
Now, I understand this isn't everyones cup of tee, cuz it might be too sporty. And I too am not a fan of sporty bras, but this one makes me think of many different possibilities how to wear it.

Or this one! Even better, because it's more feminine.


This one works more like a top. And I like it better from the behind.






I ♥ these panties!

Sorry for the crapy layout, but you really can't blame me, cos I'M GOING TO NEW YORK, New York!
And Fashion Week started- not that I'll be a part of it-and I'm so excited I feel like puking constantly.
It's not like I'll ever get closer to a fashion week then I will now, so I'll enjoy every second. Maybe I'll grovel and crawl to get in.
They'll see the heart ache, they'll see the love break. They'll hear me pleading, they'll say: For god's sake...
Over and over and over again.
They'll leave us bleeding, we'll say you cheapskates
Over and over and over again...
They'll have us hung in the air and tell me what do they care
It's only a life to be twisted and broken

Hopefully I'll be able to shoot some pictures of lovely fashionweekish people.

To do list in NY:

Visit the Met
Visit Billy's bakery whilst walking around Tribeca
Buy a nude slip Dress an something Fluo yellow to go with
Find the perfect T
Read a book in a beautiful bar all day
Buy books
Buy a newspaper
Take pictures
Go ice skating in Central park
Find a little hat with a vail
Thrift
Thrift
Thrift
...

Color combination: NUDE & FLUO YELLOW (with a splash of black. Black can't hurt)

I'll be gone for 2 weeks.
Later!
