Saturday
Lazy Thought

Time is ticking, I have start my day with the thought of being lazy today…oh Mr.B suddenly tune jazz in
my room. I think thats where it all begin, me and Mr.B all started with
the conversation about jazz, and football…ah it’s quite a memory…

To be honest, I have nothing in my head today.
Just the thought of getting in front of my lap top, spreading words on
my screen…sounds like a good idea. It will look like one of those
scene in the movie where a girl get cozy with her legs covered in
blanket and start writing about stuff. Maybe i just try to apply that
scene to reality.

Saturday,
another dinner plan…maybe some pasta tonight. Sounds like fun, oh
life…

While I make a give
thanks about how amazing my life has been so far, in half of the world
people are working. And do you see what i mean?

“People, people! Do you see what is wrong with
me?!”

I’m a lazy dreamy
creature who gets too comfortable with myself. Not that i say it’s
wrong, but I don’t think it’s right to be thankful for little things
which actually means nothing, I’m just so good finding the right words
to exaggerate it. Am I a liar?

I stopped, until i could find the right word to describe what is
it actually.

Bipolar?

“Nahh”

I am a kid , yes i am…I could never grow up,
well I’ve been trying but i have this site of me where i take every
thing as if it was a big deal, even the slightest joy or words can make
me feel so happy, yet I’m so easy to get offended.

Even I just did, when Mr.B showed me a picture
he was taken for his exhibition. He made me guess what is the picture is
about, (anyway I wont tell you what offend me). But the photograph
looks like this…

There
was this two man looking down to the ground. One is a painter on the
street sitting down with his painting on the ground yet he was
surrounded by a crowd who were looking at him and his art work. But the
other man was nicely dressed,he was all alone separated from the crowd.
The two of them showing same kind of sympathetic face. Both faced the
ground, old and pity. Difference is, the old painter actually get
noticed for his pity life, and the other man he was walking all alone in
London town, thinking about his misery, all alone…dressed up with
coats and ties…

Maybe
we’re just the same…sad and ignored…

The photograph successfully have an impact on
me, and it makes me think

“which
old man i’d rather be?” would i want people to know how sad i’ve
been…or would i rather just walk away and be alone facing them…It’s
like everyone sometimes have the same condition, but the way they face
it is completely different. If I open a gallery about it, maybe people
will come and take a look, I will be drowned in attention and sympathy
from people…but I’ve decided to be quiet about it,no one will know how
many dreams I’ve given up, how many hope I’ve lost… I’m outa here…

Have a nice saturday

“Let me walk alone my life
without anyone knowing how lost I’ve been, then if i may someday come
to home, i would at least have a story to tell… It’s not clever…it’s
not enchanting…It’s what I’ve go through”

Sylka – Debut Collection

Edited by


Sylka   Debut Collection

Sylka was founded by Karie Sylvester. Karie has worked within the fashion industry for many years as a designer and jumped at the chance to start her own handbag and accessories label.

The name Sylka is a combination of Karie’s first and second name. ‘Syl’ from Sylvester and ‘ka’ from Karie.

The Sylka collection fuses modern structural forms, traditional vintage styling details and innovative construction techniques to create a unique look. All pieces are specially handcrafted by herself and a small team in the UK.

Sylka uses high quality cow hide and lamb leathers with rare vintage fabrics found on her travels. and metal trims. All products are fully lined with 100% Cotton.

The Inspiration for this debut collection comes from Japanese Origami paper folding and traditional leather styling. The Origami collection featured this season is an innovative take on the Japanese artform using specific folding techniques on a single piece of leather or fabric to construct each design. The results are highly sculptural and chic.

“I really try to challenge myself when it comes to creating new pieces. I love to experiment with new construction techniques that you don’t really see with other labels. But above all, it has to be chic and modern.”

All products will be available on the Sylka website this year http://sylka.co.uk (date to be confirmed). You can purchase all products through Sylka’s temporary Etsy store at http://sylka1.etsy.com

For more information contact: info@sylka.co.uk or go to http://sylka.co.uk

Nerd Glasses Are Still Trending

Edited by

Nerd Glasses Are Still Trending


Nerdy glasses are not quite done making their statement in the indie fashion world. The trend was apparent in the 90′s when the Fresh Prince’s, DJ Jazzy Jeff, sported them as he worked the turn tables. Head MC of Digital Underground attached a funny looking, fake, nose to his pair of nerdy glasses, but who knows? Maybe those guys really needed prescription glasses. Wether or not they really needed specs to see their hip hop hits top the charts, the look sure caught on.


Nerd frames made a come back two winter seasons ago and it seems indie trend setters are still riding those thick frames out. With chain apparel stores like Hot Topic and Urban Outfitters carrying the particular style of glasses, it looks as though we won’t be saying “dying trend” for this one just yet. The popular, young, fashion blogger from Paris, Louise Ebel, is rarely seen in a photograph without her pair of nerdy glasses; but as she models them with Miu Miu platform heels, there is no trace of the word nerd left in Louise’s attire.


Although, every now and then, a fresh face surprisingly pulls the look off, it’s best the rest of us stay clear of this trend. Justin Timberlake, Scarlett Johannson, Jay-Z and a number of other celebrities (including Madonna!) have fallen victim to the nerd glasses.

Advice: If your vision is 20/20, you are terribly lucky you don’t need glasses and you should keep it that way. If you don’t have time to pop in your contacts, wearing rectangular, thinner frames or lighter colored frames is not as harsh on the face and looks more modern, less nerdy.
