Two is as good

I'm having too much of festive food the past week and I suppose all the face stuffing is making me bloated a bit too much. And there goes the calories burnt during my jogging sessions (to be honest it's much easier to stack up on calories rather than shedding them, which I unfortunately learned to empathically understand recently). This weekend will be another round of 'open houses'  (a Malay/Malaysian tradition during the month of Syawal where friends and relatives come over for a visit, chat, and more importantly, an eating session) and my mum decided to host on this coming Saturday. Anyhow I had to churn out these not-so-new outfit photos from previous family/friend gatherings, which I find pointless to post given the fact that they're not that extraordinary. But somehow I think not publishing them will mean a waste of lugging the heavy DSLR all over to snap the images in the first place. Happy face stuffing!...

Demystifying Margiela

A fashion outsider like me would never have dreamt about possessing something from an evasive label that is physically unavailable in places like Kuala Lumpur. In a city where 'glamour' and 'excess' is celebrated over conceptual and low-key designs it is quite an obstacle to find fashion innovativeness in KL. True, we have a slew of promising new-generation local designers who are a breath of fresh air to the industry like Silas Liew, Jonathan Liang and Joe Chia (would love to blog about them in the future) but unconventionality is still far from penetrating the minds of the public; and clearly the progress is painstakingly sluggish.

Being tied between religion and self-indulgence

The fact that some items in my wardrobe are unwearable due to some religious reasons is always a dreadful thing that happens in DUNIA FASHYON. I have met with few memorable encounters, most of which comprise of silly and careless mistakes in the choice of the materials - please take note that as a male Muslim I can't wear specific fabric/materials/objects which are meant for the ladies (gold and silk, bracelets /bangles/ necklaces to name a few)... so I have a few 100% silk ties and bangles lying around in the house and in dire need of an owner who will appreciate them better...

And of course there's this heavy, gut-wrenching feeling of disappointment after purchasing beautiful shoes that you're lusting after for so long, only to find out later that they contain PIGSKIN. Needless to say a Muslim has to perform some religious routines after touching the above-said animal hide.

Ergo, here comes my shameless promotion for my two unworn treasures that I have to let go in order to perform my duty as a Muslim (at least by abiding its laws), and also to have a little bit of cash flowing in (a little strapped for dough in the moment as I just started working)... These shoes are guaranteed unworn, in perfect condition and come with original boxes, no less.
