je ma’ppelle francois

i’ve been a horrible blogger, but i just want to let you know that misoshiru has now moved to je m’appelle francois. this way, it’s more uniform to the rest of my sites: tumblr, twitter. also, for pictures, please refer to my tumblr. je m’appelle francois will mostly consist of the musings of a recent postgrad just blogging about life and the process of applying to law school and finding new jobs.

thank you all.

Perhaps it is in the cities where we feel most alone. Thank god for friends.

monochromatic/monoromantic?

yanlin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 23:22:26 +0000

I know I’m absolutely horrible at this whole blogging thing. I just stay interested in something for too long. Too much to do, too much to see. Trying to live life to its fullest in my last few weeks of uni. Already so nostalgic, so sentimental. Please don’t make me cry. I hate feelings.

Anyhow, after seeing a photo on Jak & Jil of a red monochromatic outfit, I was thinking, does monochromaticism give off a romantic air or not? Or do people just end up looking like an oversized lego? I’ve found a few photos, but I still cannot decide.

I think Liu Wen looks stunning in L'Officiel, but of course, we can't all look like her. D:

On the streets and in editorials. It can be a little bland at times, but at other times, it’s just right.

The Best Shoes from AW 10?

yanlin — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 14:02:45 +0000

The bloggers from fashionista certainly think so. They have rounded up a list of the best shoes from the AW 10 runways. I’ve included the list below. Now what do you think?

All images are also from the fashionista as I was unable to find details for some of the shoes.

Perhaps I’ll make a list of what I think are the best shoes from AW 10 some other time. If not the best shoes, then definitely the most memorable shoes.

Clemence, Tao and Freja

How is it already Friday? My spring break is almost over. Where did all those days go? Spent by staying inside the first few days sleeping and watching telly on my computer, then watching all 3 of the lord of the rings movies on different days. It’s almost time to get back to work.

But before I do that, I would like to present to you a few photos of Clemence Poesy, Tao Okamoto and Freja Beha.

springtime?

yanlin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 21:53:15 +0000

It’s absolutely beautiful out right now. I hope I’m not jinxing things by hoping that spring is here to stay.

On another note, I was reading Jak & Jil…again as usual. I think that Jak & Jil is probably my favourite fashion photoblog. The details, the clothes, the people that he photographs are all just wonderful. So here are a few, from his recent posts that I love.

: Freja Beha. My absolute favourite.

: love love LOVE these shoes.

: from the Celine FW ’10 show.

Spring Break

Apologies for the lack of updates these past weeks. Life has been incredibly hectic lately, but I started spring break yesterday. Technically, it could’ve been Friday, but I had to turn in a 50-page draft for my Thesis. So, I ended up spending most of Friday writing like a maniac. Now, I have 52 pages. Now…time to finish it off? I suppose so.

I ended up staying at school for spring break, not that I mind that much. I get to relax, I get to sleep..and occasionally do some work to get caught up on life. Finish post-grad applications, continue writing my thesis, etc.

Also, I’ve been trying to get caught up on the FW 10 fashion weeks. I think I’ve finally made it to Paris. NY was quite disappointing. London was a bit all over the place. This whole “Recessionista Fashion” shouldn’t mean that designers can put out random shit, call it fashion and expect people to buy it.

I know they showed Alexander McQueen’s final collection a few days ago, but I still haven’t had the chance to see it. I hear that it does not disappoint. I’ll update later with a few of my favourite pieces, etc.

Underwater Photography – Zena Holloway

Just can’t get over Zena Holloway’s photos. Here are a few more.

Her work is just so beautiful.
