Fabulista Finds: Joy...

Eventful. That should be the heading for this week. It’s been one hell of an eventful week, what with assignments and tasks at the Fashion School and stimulating the economy, one still manages to find time for self-repose and relaxation.

The fashion school, charming with its Provençal vibe, has started its afterschool lessons. However, from the look of some of the students, one is confounded at the actual benefits they can glean from the extra lessons. After all, one is not optimistic about the possibility of mainlanders learning how to execute the perfect sashay and chante.

Anyway, it was fabtastic how one was finally able to obtain the rarefied commodity otherwise known as the BVLGARI Save the Children Charity Ring. One ACTUALLY managed to find the exact size that fits. One feels that much more benevolent and philanthropic in a beautiful way – there is no other way to be so.

One was also able to catch up on one’s hobby of shopping – there isn’t a more elegant way to catch up on the dreaded but au neccessaire exercise. The happy people from the land of fairytales, manifesting as Royal Copenhagen had a sale over the weekend on the sunny island set in the sea. I couldn’t help but visit them at NAC and picked up a few objets d’art along the way. Tea by candlelight; there isn’t a more beautiful way to light up the night if you ask me.

What has been truly shocking this week that, amongst all the frantic hyperactivity in school and out, one was still able to catch up on:

  • Regular jogs (on two days);
  • Catch up on the movies that have been on one’s list!

Shockers!

I managed to catch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (beautiful but missing the point of the original story); Valkyrie (another Hollywood ‘based on true events’-type movie, if you know what I mean…) and On the Other Side on the Line (try analysing that from a World Lit/Feminism/Orientalism point-of-view)…

What a wondrously eventful but fulfilling week it has been! Cheers to that!!
