Ubiquitous

Yep, that’s what I’m watching on Stage6 when I’m not blogging.

If I haven’t mentioned it already, I’m a huge TV watcher. Before school and all that stress came along, I knew the days in my week by what show was on TV. Survivor, Big Brother, The Bachelor, For Love or For Money, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, House, the list goes on. What I didn’t know was that my love of fashion and TV sitcoms can come together in the newest show to hit ABC: Cashmere Mafia.

The show blurb describes it self as “A group of successful female executives who have been friends since college turn to each other for guidance as they juggle their careers with family in New York City.”. You can see a preview here. I admit, I got hooked on the preview because Lucy Liu was in it. Then I saw all the stunning clothes these ladies put on, they’re absolutely gorgeous.

I have to also admit that the plot is nothing totally new and it competes directly with the other new release Lipstick Jungle (there’s a whole controversy on how the creators of these two shows were once very close friends and then… fall out). However, I like the close friendship these ladies share and the producers’ attempts to at least portray somewhat realistic scenarios in the high corporate business world in New York. People have called Cashmere Mafia “Sex and the City for the thinking women”, and it couldn’t be more true.

I rarely write fashion posts for fear of sounding superficial or clich/e. But I recently came across Elie Saab’s Spring 08 Haute Couture collection in my RSS feed and it’s just absolutely gorgeous. Here are my few favourites.

Even the Elie Saab Ready-to-Wears stand out from the crowd.

Other than that, I really like Andrew GN.

Anyone else notice that the sunshine yellow is really popular this season? Favs from Derercuny.

Dolce and Gabana below. Hmm… looked nicer in the ads haha. And why is this Ready-to-Wear and not Haute Couture?!

Hmm… I just noticed that there is a very distinct style that I prefer in clothes. Let’s see if the trend continues. Versace.

Yea yea yea, I’m purposefully throwing in a lot of sunshine yellows to prove I’m right =D More Versace

And to finish it off with some of my favs from the Armani collection.

I love how they’re playing around with the idea of suits for femme, and adding a lot of glam to it.

Okay, enough runway shots… before I scare everyone away. Schoolwise, math HL and history mock exams were surprisingly… easy. Math especially, guess studying hard actually pays off. I think the class average will be 60-70%, and if I’m lucky I’ll slip by with an 80%. In my Math HL class, that means a 6 on the IB Scale and at least an A. Sometimes hard teachers come in use… because the rest of the class end up failing . I heard last year only two people out of thirty passed the mock in HL, and supposedly we’re the smartest kids in the school, HA!

French and English Mock tomorrow, Chem on Thursday, Physics on Friday.

Baked: peanut butter oat bars (see recipe) I’m surprised at how much ingredients I had readily available at home.

Ate: Plain sushi and Californian rolls. Mum’s first attempt of making them was a complete success!

Bought: Hoodie from Garage (pics as close as possible), print dress from Costa Blanca, and brown belt from Suzy Cher. Call this my post-unable-to-get-anything-on-Boxing-day splurge. Don’t you hate it when after Boxing Day, only the Large and Xtra Large sizes are left?! What about us small people, grr!

Addicted to: HOUSE. Can’t believe it took me till now to settle down and watch it. Episodes of House interspersed with university application essays completely saved my sanity. Finished season one, woot!

Neglected: Solids of revolution in integral calculus, BAHHH!

And that’s what I’ve been doing so far in the New Year. Oh yea, speaking of calculus, yesterday I fell asleep as soon as I got home (6pm), napped for 5 hours, got up at midnight and did 2 hours of calculus, then went back to sleep . I forsee much more of this in my IB future.

P.S. - My minicity is born!
