ALEXANDER McQUEEN

No words can describe how much the fashion world and I myself is devastated by the news of the l'enfant terrible de la mode, Alexander McQueen ending his own life. I read it on my twitter timeline and couldn't believe it until clicking a link to the DailyMail. It's a great loss, there's no such genius as McQueen.

Your brief visit to the world has made an amazing impact and you will always be remembered for your endearingly out of this world creations and how you've made us all inspired. You will be sorely missed;

“People always ask me why I don’t stick around after the show, but stick around for what? I never go to my after-show party. I’ve been a rock kid. I’ve done all that madness. Things change. I know what kind of world I work in, and I find the social and political side of it incredibly stressful. I’m now in a position where I don’t have to play the game, and I choose not to.

I visit. I don’t stay.” - Alexander McQueen

All photos in this particular entry is taken using Nokia E72, sorta love the grainy effect.Don't be hatin'.

What? Booooooooooooooooooooring! Even my face looks bored.

Why hello lacy back, say what now? Black maxi dress from Ladies Fash, white laced back from I can't remember where I bought this, RM2 low sling studded belt, a bag I'm using again - full fringed bag.

I have two phones now, still using the old Sony Ericsson for my Maxis but the E72 is used for free wifi browsing & spontaneous picture time - I shouldn't be using it anyway coz it's part of the wedding gifts/hantaran.

The belt.

The bag, it was once so popular everywhere I go people would ask where did I bought it.

Most recent purchase, haven't been shopping non-wedding-related items in a while. Gonna wear this for my friend's wedding. She strictly wants her friends to wear red+black. So gotta find a black sarong or batik. Bought this from Oh My Clothes.

WEDDING D A I S

Something like this, I hope Citra Ruby can make it happen for me. Picture credit to Readzul.

My theme color is lilac/mauve/dusty pink with white as it's base color.

My Reception Dais

• By Citra Ruby from Bota, Perak. Not much choices to choose from. I have to make do with whatever that they have. But ofcourse I'll try to improvise with my own touch here & there :)
• I really want to use the above chair but Citra Ruby doesn't have any, well they had but it broke. I've been pestering them to buy a new one but to no avail. Anyone wants to lend me one? :P (EDIT: A friend said it's totally gonna hurt my back & posture trying to keep straight for the photos, so maybe something like this?)
• I need the feathered fans (small & white) but they don't have any so I'm still looking.
• Merenjis tools, they only have one put on the floor type. Kenapalah takde yang berkaki tinggi tu, adoi. Nak tanya kat bridal belah Naz, maybe we'll rent from there.
• I want this lace umbrella, but RM50 each? Hmm any brides wants to share with me? Huhu

His Reception Dais

Picture credit Maszalina

• Something like the above picture, DAMASK themed dais. But our theme color for his reception is turquoise + b&w damask. Of course there will be 2 chairs. Turquoise was the color I decided on end of last year, and guess what it's dubbed as the color of 2010. Woot, I can predict the future, show me your palm.
• Black & white will be the main color on the dais whereas blueish turquoise flowers as the adornment.

My Solemnization Dais

• Will be using the same platform as my reception dais but I won't be sitting on a chair, it will be something like this, with pillows and mini sitting pillow?:
  
  
  
  Picture found via Google.
• Bought the pillows at Jusco (Chinese New Year Sale) x 4 x RM12.90 each. Naz will have his own sitting pillow too, RM27.90. Might need to add some pearl beads or lace? Not sure yet. I don't want it to be too girly coz I'll use it for our future apartment later on hehe.
• And I want to have a white table for him to use to sign all the forms during solemnization. Kind of something like this, with added floral pomander bouquets on each end. Ambitious is me sometimes. I just don't know if I am able to do this alone*.
• Yash has so kindly offered to lend me her white furry carpet, thank you so much. So blessed to have such a nice friend like you :)
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Phew, who would've guessed, writing all this down actually makes me feel better.

Just received a breaking news yesterday.

Naz,

my fiance,

who's a genius by the way,

will be sent to Japan for a business trip (not his first time, so not much a shocker there)

for FIVE GOD DAMN WEEKS!

and will be back

1 -2 week(s) before the wedding.

My heart died a little.
