Quote of the Day

Quote of the Day

"The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile."~Plato

The quote is old and has been tossed around many times, but I still find myself to be fascinated by the quote. Maybe because I am such a neurotic mess and emotional person, who, often times, let anger gets the worst of me and regretted it later on. I just hope that, especially younger people or anyone who feels inferior or has bad control in your emotion, anger management, hatred etc, make good use of the quote. Yes it is just words, but a reminder at times won't hurt. Better than nothing.

Model of the Week: Kate King

Model of the week is Kate King

Kate King is a rising star in the modelling world, much like this generation's models such as Josephine Skriver, Emily Baker, Sui He and many more. She was scouted at the age of 13, but decided to wait until 17 years old to pursue modelling career. Wise decision I'd say. It's never too late to start your career at 17 or after finishing high school education.

Profile:

Height: 5'10" (1.80m)

Hair Colour: Brown

Eye Colour: Brown

Measurements: 22"-33.5" (US)

Shoe: 8 (US)

Agencies: Ford Models (New York). Elite (Paris). d'management group (Milan).

Birthday: December 3, 1993

Nationality: Canada 

Debut:

Debuted at Fall 2011,  Kate walked 59 shows during Fall 2011. Impressive, no? Imagine working non stop, all the chaos and heat behind hectic schedule between fitting session, runway, travelling around the globe and parties, 59 is an exhausting number but the girl made it.

First Show:

First show is very important for models. It can be the catalyst for their career, tho it certainly isnt the only element to be a successful model. For Kate King and many other well-known models, their first show made an impact to the industry, thus opening more and bigger opportunity for them in the industry.

Kate's first show is Rag & Bone F/W 2011. The first show she opened is Moschino F/W 11.12 

Runway:

Besides, girl's got to do the best shows such as Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Prada etc. Not bad for a start. These days, she still is a very regular catwalker on prestigious runways in Milan, Paris, NY etc.

Campaign:

In terms of campaign, Kate has done D&G S/S13,  Chloe S/S12, Tory Burch Spring 2012, Topshop F/W11 etc. I have to be honest, I never really see her as D&G girl, but after the F/W 13.14 Milan show, I change my mind. She even opened the show, woohoo, what an honour!

Before I conclude the post, I would like to wish Kate King a very bright future ahead in her career. Happy wishes and stay healthy.

Nail Story: Made in Korea

Nail story.

Well this post just to show/update my current nail colour/art. This week, it's just normal polish. No fancy2 arts. Normally I color the nails once or twice in two weeks time depending on my mood, schedule and nails' condition.

Nail polish brands? Vary. I love practically every brand out there; China, USA, Thailand, Korea, Japan, UK made, just give all of them to me. Here in Malaysia, Korean brands are easy to get at very affordable prices with quite a selection of colours and satisfying quality. So, everyone can paint their nails here. Hahah

Lets stop wasting time, commence the pictures;

Red feat gold.

I love to mix up the colours of my nails..its more fun and exciting. Just make sure you choose two good colors to mix and match. Dont be afraid. Be bold. Follow your instinct. Take the risk. 

Made in South Korea.

Both are Korean brand. Pretty satisfied with the quality of the brush and the polish itself. The price is also very affordable.

Hahah, so little images, sorry for that. I'm not much of a camera person, and on top of that, I suck at taking pictures, but for the sake of the blog, I'll try to take more and more pics in the future. I guess that's it for the time being. Until then..XOXO
