I know this is old news to some, but hey, I hate liars. Human lives were
lost in an instant and my fellow Muslims were branded 'terrorist'
because of nothing. Plus now I can't bring an innocent bottle of mineral
water past the scanner at the airport. Whose fault is that?
Such is the power of fear spread through an inflated lie, exaggerated
and manipulated to some people's own ends. Conjuring imaginary fear to
the extent of unnecessary paranoia, a laughable one at that (watch the
videos). What a waste of emotions and loads of money nonetheless. I'm
not sure what those liars gain in return, other than enemies and haters.
Guilty until proven otherwise, I say.
And what's with 21.12.12 being the end of the world? I hope that lie was not deliberate...
It's still autumn/winter 2012/13 and what is to come next season is already upon us.. and it's sure is refreshing. Fun hues to perk up your day and those twists on old classics are a nice touch! So let's see what's big this spring/summer 2013, shall we...
Bright colours (e.g. white, orange, purplish pink, mint) on a background of the usual pastels. White shirts are abound, and those lime green loafers at Hackett's first ever runway show sure look nice.
Metallic and shiny fabrics. Designers at Daks made it a point to make some pieces shiny for spring/summer 2012/13, while those sexy butterfly-inspired things at Roberto Cavalli are nothing but. Burberry next season opts for all things metallic - maybe too intimidating for some.
Cummerbunds. Les Hommes and Daks are proponents of the thing but definitely not me. Where would I wear it to?
White leather shoes and gladiator sandals. Spring/summer always ensures things are light and breezy. People at Louis Vuitton and Gucci sure love their white leather shoes. If you want to go overboard with your gladiator sandals (and other ancient Roman stuff) you can head straight to Versace, but Corneliani and Givenchy offer some nice leather sandals as well. I'm so needing a pair right now :)
Wayfarer sunglasses. Big at Louis Vuitton. Nice change for my aviators.
Hmm.. I've probably been using the words 'nice' and 'things' way too many times now.. But coming back to the point I was going to say, contrary to the Mayan calendar's prediction of impending Armageddon, the world of fashion certainly is not ending in December 2012!
