zaBigFatSnoop: H&M
What's on in H&M? I can see now that some of the sping/summer '10 pieces are in store. New t-shirts and cardis, jackets and blazers, as well as some jeans and shirts.
Some items that I happened to check include this cardigan which I wrote in this blog before. Though the color is not the one that I hoped for (they supposed to have red and blue), but it's kinda interesting to see what new trend is gonna be - the perforated. The fabric is organic cotton, and that's why the green color of the cardi is not that outstanding and appear somewhat bland. But the fit is nonetheless quite good. I think this one will be breathable coz the perforated is always great for summer wear.
Oooh, I always love denim shirts. And this one took it to another edge with the holes on some part of the shirt. I'd say it's a cowboy-meet-high fashion. Or probably D&G look? Ahaks! The fabric - love it, quite a heavy yarn. The fit is very slim. But damn... if I want something, there's never in my size (this one is XS!)
Another 'oooh' - the asymmetric biker jacket. This look like leather, but instead it's just a pleather. Or at Uniqlo, they call it neo-leather. (In science we call it polyurethane, lol). This one has the Marlon Brando feel to it, and the texture is given a lil' crease making it look more rugged. Btw, I'm not that stoked with the 'band' on the bottom which I think can slip my belt through it. Whassup with that?
The knitted tee which is featured in the SS'10 ad campaign. I love the overall feel, very slim fit and hugs the body well esp on the sleeves. The fabric is quite chunky though. But the price is so dead cheap, less than a tenner! :)
The Prêt-à-Porter welcomes Bloggers
Nast, a photographer, as The Eye of PAPP.
The Cherry Blossom Girl, a fanatic for looks, as The Look Tracker at PAPP.
Éléonore Bridge, a pro of reporting, as The Grand Reporter for the PAPP.
During the exhibition dates, they reported both on their blogs and the official site of PAPP, using images, interviews and clips.
A very, VERY interesting move.

Familiar at Prêt-à-Porter
Being mentioned in two different sections of the press release special mag edition, the brand of Greek accessories designer Georgia Koukos was surely a favourite. In the "trends to capture" section, a photo of her delicate string necklaces is featured amongst others right next to "jewellery with fabric" forecast whereas there is also a reference to her work later in those pages, sharing that "for thirty years, Greek designer Koukos has found the art to carry us away".
Island stores, Plaka and other contemporary jewellery points may have been taken by storm over the recent years by this style. Most Greek girls already have something similar around their neck. However it's France based Koukos that's bringing it to the world, and the world loves it.
Weekend Blues
So. What am I doing during the weekend? This time around I wanna do something different, by playing tourist again. And taking me into another kind of shopping adventure. Sports. Football, to be precise. Being in London, or UK in general, it's a total shame not to follow any football match. Though my team is always the Red Devil, but I can't help enjoying great match on ITV1 every now and then. That's all I can do anyway - stuck on the tele - coz to get a ticket to the stadium... man, that's so damn hard! I do play sports. I'm not a football player though, coz I'm not that good with the leg thing. I'm more to hand sports. (No dirty thoughts okay, LOL!!). Hockey when I'm 14, basketball during my 15 and handball, a short time when I'm in college (which ended me up with twisted ankle!). My personal fav is deff basketball, coz I love doing all those dunk. My mate here asked me the other day if I wanna play. But man, I just don't have the time nowadays. Still, I think those who don't play sports is a sore loo-hoo-ser!
Which stadium am I this time? The Chelsea FC in Stamford Bridge - home to the Blues. Home to the great players like Drogba, Ballack, Cole (A & J), Lampard and Terry. It's not a match day last weekend, so the stadium is pretty empty. I'm quite surprise to be honest to see the stadium from the outside, coz it's not really as splendid-looking like Emirates near my house, or Man United at Old Trafford. Yet, it has it's own charm - esp a wall which is quite unique called the Shed End.
Anyway, the shopping part is the best too. Going to Chelsea FC Megastore is fun. Anything that you want from the Blues. The home and away kit (hmmm..sound like the TV show, ahaks!), keyrings, mugs, car sticker or even home thingy like pillows and bedsheets. I overheard this little girl talking to her dad 'Can I get those sheets please'... which I'm found quite funny. Oh, since the team is sponsored by Adidas and Samsung, you can definitely find the brand there too - from the Adidas Chelsea shirts bearing the name of Lampard and Drogba, to Samsung mp3 player and N310 netbook!? Some shirts (or shall I say football tee) are on sale at massive reduction. Think I wanna go back for a second time soon to get some of those to my bros and nephews. Ehehe.. :)
you can sit beside Lampard to get your pix taken

I beg to get this drawstring bag for free...
Oh I don't buy this. It's just that Chelsea is sponsored by Samsung & Adidas
- which happened to be the products that I used. :)

Prêt-à-Porter, the trends bag by Lovisa Burfitt
Blondez chose to involve Lovisa Burfitt yet for another season, and this time it was much more than illustrating a smart car. The Swedish illustrator who lives in France, unleashed her amazing design skills across the exhibition space, illustrated the cover of the PAPP press release and went on to creating the lovely print for the Prêt-à-Porter "trends bag". (see last season's trends bag here). In case you haven't already done so, go a few lines up and click on her name. You are gonna love her portfolio of colourful illustrations and girly style.
The limited edition "trends bag" was manufactured once again by Kolam, a young brand strongly focused on eco-fashion. Thumbs up.
