All Things Pastel

Today I ate a gigantic slice of the sweetest, most monstrous cake ever known to mankind: it had a chocolate three milk cake base, a cheesecake layer, blueberry cheesecake filling, a vanilla three milk cake layer, another cheesecake layer and some vanilla butter cream frosting. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS (ノ๑ﾟヮﾟ๑)ノ ♡ ♡ ♡ And yes, life is good again, that is the power of cake! ...and cheesecake, and chocolate, and ice cream... basically, anything sugar, for that matter...

Most unfortunatedly, one cannot, or at least should not, eat large amounts of sugar anytime they feel anything less than on top of the world, unless you want to get trapped into a not-so-sweet-anymore hell of diabetes and overweight.

So I figured I should channel my everlasting love for sweets into a much less harmful let out, and so, I remembered something as sweet as a thousand vanilla with strawberry filling cakes, as beautifully charming as the most beautiful pastry your eyes have ever seen, and as cute as a chubby cherub gleefully laughing during spring days: Of course I'm talking about Missoni's Fall 2011RTW Collection! OBVIOUSLY! c:

The collection is a vision in pastel colors sprinkled in magical fairy dust and sweet dreams （人´∀`*）; everything about it is really pretty and dreamy, looking at it, you have nothing but cheerful and sweet thoughts; there's magic everywhere! Every outfit looks as if it came straight out from a beautiful, nostalgic dream, filled with sugary memories from a simply gleeful childhood. Aside from the dulcet pastel tones chosen, every texture, every shape reminisces the kind of clothes modern fairy-tale princesses would wear on a daily basis.

As usual with Missoni, the textures are very important: you will see knitted pieces, embroidered, even patched details showing drawings of flowers and smiling girls.. every detail just exudes a delightful positivity! Each outfit is different from the other while maintaining Missoni's unique aesthetic.

Above, strawberry with a sugar coating and a pinch of orange zest.
And that lavender python print overcoat: charmingly extravagant! You can truly see each piece was made by loving fairies while happily singing along to KPP's: CANDY CANDY... They must've sung the entire album, I bet!

Now, mint with a soft touch of lavender essence.
Again those extravagant, yet sober-looking python overcoats in all the colors of the rainbow that will make all your dreams come true (or at least, it should say so in the tag ; A ; )

And the grand finale, pastel citrics to make a beautiful contrast against the warm flavors above.
Every knitted sweater, just another reason to start a hugging-fest! ...and never let go ; A ;
...See? Only positive thoughts come to mind when seeing/talking about this collection!

Raise your hand if you, like me, thought of Harajuku fashion when they saw this collection? Well, a slightly demured form of the Harajuku style, that is. All you will say after seeing the collection will be: 美しい! 非常にかわいい!! While smiling and giggling endlessly until you go to bed （＾ω＾）.

Brilliance resides in the details, and this is no exception: to keep things interesting, and to keep everybody from getting sick from the sugar overload, the chosen make up has nothing sweet about it: dark tones and a very pale porcelain skin; the final effect is a match made in Candy-Candy-Soft-Harajuku Heaven!

And with this, I bid adieu for now! Have a lovely day, everybody!

GRADulations for your hard work, Sir!

Title's pretty self explanatory, yes?
So now, if you please, may the congratulating begin! t(´A `t )

Now, I think this should be a time of deep thinking and self evaluating; figuring who I am and where I'm heading out, finding a job, becoming a productive member of society... becoming an adult.
. . .

Eeehh... the more I think of it... can I just go back to Uni, please?
...but then again...
Oh, how I loathed Uni..! With all my heart, I did!

Perhaps, a good thing to do now would be evaluating my time spent and knowledge gained, after all, I didn't spend these past five years just hating Uni and everything/everyone that had anything to do with it! ...And even that isn't completely true, since I made some real friends, who I deeply care for, and, ~confession time~ I actually did learn some useful things, whether I like to acknowledge that or not. Among the useful things I did learn, street smarts immediately comes to my mind: you see, I used to be one of the most naïve, gullible people you would ever meet, with a common sense level of 0 (yes, Ze-ro). BUT! Of course I wasn't a completely useless excuse of a human being, at least I was book smart (or at least I like to think so.. But don't ask my classmates, because they might differ (*￣m￣) . . .)

Anyway, and since this post doesn't actually have a reason to be, (and before this turns into an existentialist-worried letter to myself) I'll just end this here and tomorrow will be a new post.

Over and out!

Ooh, and a biiiiiiig e-kiss and a hug because I did miss each and every single one of you, dearest readers, even if we have only spoken a handful number of times; thank you for still reading and putting up with me, even after my seemingly endless ever-so-annoyingly-repetitive Uni complaining posts (I know those were disgusstingly repetitive and boring, I KNOW （／> n <＼)); I trully appreciate every one of you and I can't wait to hear and get back in touch with you! I hope everything's been wonderful on your sides of the screen.

Exhibit No.1: Wearing the Robes of Triumph and Wisdom...! FINALLY!!!

In case you are wondering, I graduated from Uni with a degree in Purikura and Weird Japanese Drawings Appreciation.
Except I really like to brag, so I'll tell you: I AM NOW AN ENGINEER! WOO HOO HOOOOOOO!!
