out & about - baby it's cold outside edition

i've always been taking days off work between christmas and new year. tuesday was a glorious day but it sure was cold. went out & about to nottinghill and knightsbridge to check out the sales, braved the winter chill in my grey calvin klein for gap organic cotton tee, vivienne westwood grey acrylic scarf, indigo cheap monday denims, black balenciaga peacoat, paul smith sneakers, navy blue raf simons cotton bag, smelling of hermes concentre d'orange verte and listening to coldplay's "viva la vida prospekt's march".

i love this coat but i feel it is very showy and attention grabbing, so i tried to downplay it by carrying a very casual nondescript bag, and letting some of the base tshirt peek through. limited as it is, i've seen 2 other guys sporting this coat on the streets. once in balenciaga new york, where both of us were wearing the same coat. we could have dug a hole and buried ourselves, even the staff were amused. i did the honorable thing to smile and acknowledge him but bitch completely ignored me. the next guy i saw was at harvey nichols last saturday, he was in front of me at the tills. i wanted to say "i have this coat too!" but he was with an elderly lady (his mom?! who shops at harvey nics with their mom?!) so i chickened out.

and here's a leggy blonde in paris during fashion week day 8 and hounded by paparazzi:


and the cutest punk showing how it should be done at the balenciaga studios:


and here's an annoyingly wholesome, tussled hair and chiselled jaw specimen showing everyone who is dah boss:

this is my last post for 2008 for i want it to be about my favourite fashion house. put on your gladrags and welcome in 2009. i will be having dinner at my friends', and i will be dressed in balenciaga too.

all the very best wishes, and good night :)
