Kitty!




A good month ago, my little household welcomed two new additions: a pair of feisty and adorable kittens. These munchkins were from a much larger family, where the owner decided it cannot cope to take care of so many new litter. Still unnamed, they prance around the house, and being curios kitties that they are have scratched, sniffed and pounced on every nook and cranny. They are also very very naughty, jumping over into the neighbours house one time too many. I guess cuteness can get you away with anything…

Diesel Black Gold FW2011 Collection @ NY Fashion Week

Diesel Black Gold brings a touch of antique and a military dash to 21st century urban wear.

The collection is all about subtle details, whether it’s in the solidity of its construction or the delicacy of fabrics.










For men, military attire seen in a sepia photograph or discovered in a long-abandoned truck. Disheveled, romantic: a reminder that some soldiers were also poets.











For ladies, this harder edge is tempered with reversible shearling, soft suede and cozy knitwear.





While never taking their eyes of the contemporary calendar, designer Sophia Kokosalaki and her team have infused their latest collection with subtle references to 18th and 19th century.











 The result is a collection of tailored yet timeworn garments.












The Collection Was All About Subtle Details. Whether it's in solidity of it's construction or delicacy of fabrics. Diesels Heritage as a pioneer of treatments comes through with aged leather, providing a malleable armour, able to survive centuries and dust- or more likely, another night on the town.

Astana Lumayan update #3


Its been a while since I last update the progress of my future home. Luckily a friend sent my a picture of the constuction site today, the view from where is staying in the nearby condo. I am glad to see that activities has been moving on the ground, with the structure of the first level carpark already visible. Hopefully things pick up pace considerably in the next update.
