Selahdor SS 2012

David Chum's Selahdor Spring Summer 2012 presentation captured the beauty of nature--the tranquility of a golden sunset, wispy clouds, sea foam and ocean waves to tempestuous tornados and lightning. This time around, pleats and folds continued to be a predominant technique in manipulating fabric like previous seasons, but tail hems and drop waists made appearances. The resulting feel was a collection profoundly more airy and free.

Check out the full show below. Erm, you may recognize someone as well. Thankfully, there was no falling involved. Lesson: Ever worried about your shoes falling off? Tape 'em to your feet!

I always love an ultra wearable collection with just a touch of zany (holographic pants and double-waisted bottoms!) thrown in the mix to keep things interesting.

Working full-time takes so much out of you. The first week I came home each night hungry enough to eat a buffalo but too sleepy to hunt down food. Having been a student my entire life up until to this point, getting into this new flow will take some time, but it's already much better than last week. I'm finding energy to work on my hobbies and run some errands (and blog!) after work.

Moving along, I love these new silk pants--the inky blue color, the feel of the fabric against my skin, and the relaxed fit. At the moment, I'm over skinny skinny jeans. It's either an unabashed bare leg or a pair of relaxed pants for me.

This weekend I'll have a different kind of post. I'll be walking for David Chum's Selahdor Spring Summer 2012 show. A toast to me not tripping. Backstage photos and possibly a video to come on the blog. See ya loves.

wish list

Still a little nuts over this Cast of Vices bag. I think I may have to finally give in. Designed by Hassan Rahim and inspired by those plastic bodega bags. Simplicity, a bit of edge, major want.

One of my favorite ways to spend my free time is going on day road trips with Foy, and a common destination of ours, a little under an hour away from Boston, is Providence. We pack up our laptops and then find a comfy coffee shop to work--it's the best way to be productive, enjoy a cup of coffee, and people watch. This time around we worked our tushes off at Blue State and ended the day noshing on beef carpaccio & lobster sushi and sushi "sandwiches" at 10. Epic amounts of delicious. I've been a lazy dresser this summer and this color combo of black, white and shades of camel and sepia keeps popping up. It's time to switch up my bottoms because these leather shorts are being worn to death.

One of the most productive weeks I've had in a long time. I started devoting at least three to four hours each day to learning Python (fer reals this time) and now feel more driven than ever to keep going. Being able to write your own program in an entirely new language is invigorating, almost like a high. I also wanted to mention that we've switched servers for Tag Loudly, so it should be running faster now.

I wouldn't want this entire post to be a snooze fest on programming and server stuff, so moving along.

Can you tell I've started using my real camera (aka not my iPhone) to take photos again? Thank goodness Sophia, I was starting to think you were getting too comfortable and out of touch. Next post could have been a phone photo of me cutting my toenails in my new silk PJs. Things are looking up I believe. Happy weekend!

dr who?

Yesterday's graduation. Not pictured are the fifty ton (I exaggerate, a bit) hood and the itchy multi-cornered tam. Anyway, it was truly surreal to hear Dr. prepended to our names. The thought of it still makes me stupidly giddy. I seriously wonder when the novelty will start to wear off. Now, the real world awaits.

graduation!

Today is Graduation! Though I still have a couple of small things at school to finish up before I officially call myself Dr. Chou, I am ecstatic. A lot is going through my head, and I want to take this time and space to get reflective, but there's just too much to do before the ceremony, so I got to jet. This is my graduation garb all sprawled out on my bed. More photos to come!
