Fabulista confesses: I am in LVOE with Tadao

In an ever-changing world, tastes and demands get updated at a frequency that puts the wind to shame. However, we can always depend on the microcosmic domains of fashion and style to help us curb with the deficiencies of reality.

Enter Louis Vuitton, one of my in-laws. They have made soft launches of their latest Damier Graphite collection and I have my eye on a very urban, very functional tote – meet the Tadao urban tote.

The LV Tadao in Damier Graphite

The stylish tote is office-smart for the day and maintains a level of elegance, classy enough for the night out at the pub or lounge. Perfection for the professional.

P.S. Tadao is named after the famous Japanese architect, Tadao Ando. His style of critical-regionalism had won him accolades and awards, including the acclaimed Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1995. You can find out more about him here.

Fabulista Says: It's a Beautiful World!

Fabulista Thanks: One’s Fabulous Mentors

It’s a day for the world to say what they normally couldn’t in the busyness of their lives.

It’s teachers’ day tomorrow and Fabulista wants to express one’s gratitude to all the mentors who had touched one’s life and left an indelible mark – for better or for worse.

• Ms Gomez and Mrs Kwok – for bringing out the Englishperson in me.
• Ms Soonam – who illuminated the language into an art form; literature.
• Mr Seah – that Math can be fun and witty.
• Mdm Chia – mother tongue is different from mother’s tongue.
• Ms Tan – that I can do more than just draw and the pencil is an extension of my fingers.

Here’s a song to them and to you, teachers, out there.

Like the Sun – Ryandan:

LIKE THE SUN LYRICS - RYANDAN

I tried to hide from you

but I failed
I tried to lie to you
but .. how I failed
and even in my darkest time
you gave me light
I never knew this kinda love could feel so right
when I’m in your arms
I find myself believe it
we could be anywhere
so I can keep on dreaming

Whenever your close to me, you’re like the sun
you feel like the sun
and everyday you telling me
I am the one
I am the one who makes you shine

And I know
whenever you want me to .. I’ll go
and even when your not with me
I feel you there
I only have to look and see
and I’ll know where
when I’m holding you
the world can stop it’s turning
you’re always gonna pull me through
and I won’t be returning

Whenever your close to me, your like the sun
you feel like the sun
and everyday you’re telling me
I am the one
I am the one who makes you shine

You’re like the sun
You keep me warm
You’re telling me

When I’m in your arms
we can be anywhere (2x)

Whenever your close to me, you`re like the sun
you feel like the sun
and everyday you’re telling me
I am the one

I am the one who makes you shine
I am the one who makes you shine

You're like the sun
You're like the sun

Fabulista Attends: The LV A/W08 Damier Graphite Launch

Bring out the champers and nibbly-things, dah-links!!

One of my in-laws is launching its latest creation – the Damier Graphite. Personally, the Fabulista does not fancy overpriced fabric (whatever you call it, its still glorified tent material). However, I have to say, the latest range in black and charcoal is truly classic urban. A refreshing break away from the taupe and Vandyke.

See you at the launch party.

Fabulista Wonders: Is Four Hours Too Long?

Just got back from collecting the Nike+ Human Race Running Kit.

Queued up for 4 hours.

When I run the race on the 31st, it's going to be over in 1 hour.

It's a very strange kind of math, 4 for 1.

Don't you think?
