Aspire to go back to Thailand

Thailand is aa culture that cannot be missed out on... sure it's full of lady boys and ping pong shows (which are a must to see by the way) but Thailand is full of so many amazing things, slightly eccentric and behind the time but all the same.

Bangkok...pretty much the most random place I've even been too, but if you want to explore its the best thing, and if you want to explore as in SHOPPING... then there are many options.

Thailand offers a completely new idea of shopping, with a very new idea of fashion. But staying there long enough allows you to adapt to almost feel like taking your shoes off before you go in a shop, haggling and buying all your clothes from markets is absolutely normal.

So its pretty amazing how much fashion is shaped by culture...

Aspire to get myself settled.

It's been a long time since I blogged with the whole going to Thailand, then being jobless and skint but now things are finally coming to together on the job and money front... so it's about time I got this blogging thing sorted.

So here we go...

Aspire for more clothes.

After checking out Primark's AW12 collection I have been pleasantly surprised with what it has to offer. But do you ever get the feeling that these clothes just wont look as good on as they do on the models.

I thought I would try on one of the latest pieces that I paticularly liked.


These trousers really follow the Baroque theme that is becoming a regular hit on our high streets.

They are great because they are high waisted which is something I cannot live without in the trouser department. But damn those short legs of mine seem to make every single pair of trousers way to long for me.. and I CANNOT stand when you get those rouched baggy bits around the knees and ankles.

So unfortunately as amazing as these trousers were and for such a bargain I just could not deal with trousers way too long! Primark please make leg length smaller.

Many thanks!

Aspire for beach fun..

Just a quick snap of me spending some time down on the Isle of Wight this weekend, although very jealous of not being able to attend Bestival, it was still a blast!

Aspire to travel the world...

27th of September sees me set off to travel Thailand and Laos... and I cannot wait.

The backpack is purchased and the countdown begins, although wouldnt go as far as the travels to 'find myself' but having a couple of months to explore a different culture and almost celebrating finally finishing my degree. Hoorah.



Thailand has a culture that I haven't ever explored before and I thought I would look into young designers who have been influenced by the culture.
Wisharawish Akarasantisook has won the chance to team up and collaborate with Mango.
These images are some of his collection that saw him win, with inspiration coming from Buddhist temples, the relationship between life, death and nature and handmade pieces, something which I can't wait to see as well as exploring the fashion boutiques and markets to grab some unique bargains.
