Kuala Lumpur = shopping paradise

Sorry for the radio silence. If you follow my twitter, you know I'm in Kuala Lumpur for the week (for some real life work).

In the meantime, here's my dog.
















He can keep you (and me) company.

Oddly enough, my hotel is right across the street from a mall. In this mall, there is a Gap. Clearly, I'm psychic. There's also a F21 and Topshop. It's kind of like heaven.

How was your weekend? What am I missing while I'm stuck in the real world?

Retrospective

Even though I'm hundreds of miles from the nearest Gap, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the ridiculously American brand. Heck, I grew up wearing Gap. My small town didn't get an American Eagle or Abercrombie until I was in high school; Gap was my uniform.

That being said, I was psyched to hear about a new Gap commercial. I remember those Mellow Yellow, Love Train, and Can't Get Enough ones as vividly as if they had interrupted my iTunes downloads yesterday.

Unfortunately, I wasn't thrilled with the new one. Too much politically correct rapping, not enough fun.

To make up for it, I decided to host a retrospective of my favorite Gap commercials of all time - the khaki collection. These did more to convince me to shop than any Vena Cava collection ever could.




Do you love these old commercials as much as I do? And what do you think of the new one?

Cold Plasma giveaway (& Perricone discount)

This post really introduces itself. One of you lucky readers will win a sample of Cold Plasma - worth $150 - courtesy of Perricone MD!

Cold Plasma is an anti-aging product whose science is beyond me, but apparently fights the ten signs of aging in ways that sounds amazing.















Even though I'm super lazy, skincare is something I never miss. And I have it on good authority that Perricone MD is the best there is (save a facelift). Not sold yet? Dr. Perricone is literally the Father of the Inflammation Theory of Aging. Now that belongs on a plaque.

Rules:

1. Leave a comment explaining how you would benefit from Cold Plasma.

2. Additional entries will be granted to all Blog Goggles followers (make sure to let me know in the comments)

3. Third opportunity to win if you post the giveaway icon on your blog and link back to here, or retweet the giveaway (once again, let me know in the comments)

The contest will run until Nov. 26. U.S. residents only.

P.S. Check out another great Perricone discount here!

Friends and beer

This picture really sums up my attitude today.





















Just feel like forgetting all of life's real issues, grabbing a friend and a beer, and finding a nice patch of sun.

Arms

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I really don't like my arms. They're not awful, but they've become this fixation in my mind. It's gotten to the point where I won't wear anything sleeveless. Heck, I don't even browse sleeveless sections anymore! For someone who likes fashion as much as I do, that's extremely lame.

So I decided I needed some motivation to go to the gym. Without further ado, I present...

Reasons to get off my bum:


















1. T-bags coin trim dress, $215
2. Robert Rodriguez draped zipper dress, $429





















3. As U Wish lace tube dress, $64
4. Geren Ford tie front dress, $311


















5. Kimchi Blue polka dot peplum dress, $58
6. Tibi zig-zag sequin dress, $470

7. LNA white lace tank, $84
8. Silence & Noise zip front cami, $54

But I also couldn't help myself:

The best reason skip the gym and get a second job to finance my lavish fashion tastes:

Do you guys have weird body phobias like me? Most importantly - do you adjust the way you dress to accomodate them?

P.S. Stop by tomorrow for a giveaway!

Gold

Now, I tend to have a soft spot for tacky.

But this is too much.





















Vintage Chanel gold bathing suit, $750

It's like Chanel took the worst parts of the schoolgirl look, Miami, and the '90s, and came up with this monstrosity.

Also, who would wear a used bathing suit?

P.S. Fash Eccentric came to Hong Kong!
















I love hearing other people's impressions of the city because they're almost always identical: shop, eat, drink, repeat.
