More Baylene for me!

I have not blogged for the longest time! Life has been very very hectic recently, totally hijacked by work, though I do see some light at end of tunnel. Hopefully Project wraps up by this wednesday nicely.

Received another sms from Baylene, Further Discounts! Bought a space-sleeves dress, and a kimono top, all at 75% off! The best! Miraculously in my size! Will wear them to the office and test corporate-wear boundaries again.

Baylene on Pause

Baylene's designs are always strong, with simple lines, with transforming details, timeless.
A nice Japanese in the retail line likened her jackets to Commes des Garcons'. I got a neat jacket from her AW 09 collection... I thought I looked really sharp in it, then a friend said I looked like a magician whilst another said Penguin. OK so I look like a Sharp Magician Penguin. But a happy Penguin because she found a brand which caters to her narrow sloping shoulders.

Then in April, I received an sms from her boutique... Baylene is on break! She will like to take some time out, and her current collection is 50% off. I was sad but quickly trooped down to grab what's left. I got a matching black skirt to the jacket, and a translucent top with great sleeves. Sleeves that won't fit into my cardigans.

There was another dress with space age sleeves, something to make the old corporate foggies raise their eyebrows and shake their heads, but Urgh!! They don't have it in my size anymore.

And look at that biker-chic jacket! a little Balmain, but still mostly Baylene. How I would love to get my hands on it and swagger around (but didn't see it in the store though).

As I was leaving the boutique with my purchases, I guessed I spoke with a tinge of desperation, "So how long do you think her break is going to be?" "DON'T WORRY, she'll be back."
I'm waiting.
