yayerz

i'm super thrilled to announce that finally, pxd has a new home!!!

it's http://www.pxd.nu

CLICK IT, IT'S AMAZING.

this blog was my baby at the start, i poured my heart and soul into it, hoping that one day pxd would turn into a full-fledged website.
now my friend and business partner, kyle, has created a fantastic site that, down to every detail, is exactly what I was trying to achieve but didn't have the techy know-how to.
so, i won't be posting on this blog anymore. i'll even be transferring the old posts over but it'll take some time.

so thank you so much guys for all the support, I know that not every blog is blessed with more than a thousand views in its first week. please continue to check out pxd through these channels:

site: http://www.pxd.nu
facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pxdnu
twitter: http://www.twitter.com/pxdnu


again, thank you so much, and keep spreading the pixiedust.

all my love,

shoes {preview}

so this week has been a whirlwind of waitressing, i worked double my usual number of shifts.
BUT, i do not break promises. I'm in the midst of editing the photos for the shoe post as we speak, and here's a preview shot:


check back soon!

in the meantime, say hello to Sarah, the co-photographer and model for this shoot.
She's an amazing person, we've been friends for more than 10 years now, and I could not be more grateful to have a friend like her who's always willing to go out of her way to help others.

partypauper + opportunities!

sorry i've been away guys, been swamped with schoolwork.

anyway!

I was gonna post this piece up as part of a bigger lookbook, but i do sense some getting antsy with the lack of new posts. I guess this is kind of like a filler update except I really like these photos and I do find this piece insanely versatile. it's also something you guys have already seen from the previews so i'm not giving away too much ;) about the prettiness of the pictures, i haven't had time to photoshop lately because of school, but bear with meeeeee many surprises next week ;)

So....I got invited to a party the other day. A house party sort of thing. I'm not a big "woohoo house party" person, so I had no idea what to wear. The host told me this: "dress nice, dress party, wear heels, but dress comfortably, and dress casually. Don't be too glammed up like you're going for a fancy event."

I was dumbstruck. I had no idea what she was talking about. Then i was browsing through my photo library, looking through to delete some before uploading, and I came across this dress. I kinda had an "OHHHHHHHH" moment. Now, I know it sounds super made-up, but it's true. This super cheap $5 stretchy bodycon u-back dress, is the perfect "casual sexy party" outfit. I'd wear it with a cover up (cardi or denim jacket) and converses to not overdo the sexiness, but hey, if you've got it, flaunt it! ;)

I'm definitely not encouraging you to walk around in this dress during the day, unless you're pairing it with leggings or tucked into jeans with a cover-up.

I wore this once, with thick black leggings, a huge denim shirt, and of course some biker boots. It looked really awesome, and plenty decent (:

Warning: If you're petite, it's gonna reach past mid-thigh, probably 4 fingers above the knee, and look decent enough with opaque tights. If you're tall like Athari (the model), this is going to be a strictly-party outfit.

Fits a UK/AUS 6-10 (stretchyyy), EUR 32-36, US 0-large 4 small 6 (:





this is the pattern in case it wasn't clear enough, and I didn't tinker with the contrast or saturation etc so this is pretty much the colour of the dress in real life.


KK time for a recruitment ad: anyone who wants to volunteer to help with writing/photography/modelling/videography (filming)/music, contact me please!


A whole-new PXD experience awaits, in a few weeks.

I will have the promised shoe post up by Monday.

Til then,
All my love.

TEEHEE







$8KISA (pt. II)




white silver tee: 
Europe size 32-36
UK 6-10
US 0-6
Very loose top, it's actually a size 36 on the label.

Could fit 38 but I don't know if it'll fit right, so i won't risk it (:
again, the top itself is pretty loose, it's the shoulders i'm concerned about. so if you're a narrow-shouldered size 12, go for it! (:

Looks fabulous paired with a camel blazer/jacket and floral high-waisted shorts, casual but not sloppy <3



WHITE HKtee;
Europe size 32-34 
UK 6-8
US 0-4
(not tight per se, but it has a narrow shoulder width)


super adorable with any super bright long/short skirt (or shorts if skirts are not your thing), and well, I usually live in my khaki converses so I just wear every outfit with them (: I'm probably not the person to ask about shoes, since I live on converses and moccasins heh. If you really want a jazzed up outfit, pair this tshirt with a fuschia bandage skirt, and tons of gold accessories. so 80's fantastic <3






some of you may complain that my outfits are too plain. I'm okay with that. Some girls wear super cute outfits to school. Some would rather be comfy and casual. I will defo upload more dressy posts in future, but for now i'm focusing on basics that make our lives easier. So casual is our concept for now (:


big change coming!

so i've been toying with the idea of changing my layout. it's gonna be something i'm pretty sure no other fashion blog has done.

watch this space!

$8 knights in shining armour.

(i sense people squinting at  the 2nd row pic on the right, i was eating a pretzel. there. mystery solved! hehe gluttony revealed)

okay. so you stayed out a little too late last night.
you're in a rush to get to school/the dentist (though i wonder why one would be in a rush to see the dentist, but hey we don't judge), brushing your teeth and throwing random clothes everywhere in a futile bid to find something to wear.

this is where the basics come in. they're not the prettiest, nor the classiest. they don't score you fashion points. they don't even make you look more intellectual (although they kind of do because I've learned as a uni student that professors assume you don't have time to study if you're spending it all grooming yourself, so you can work the whole "i study so hard i don't have time to dress well" angle, but that's a whole other story).

However, the basics go with everything. I mean everything.




here athari wears a white TOKYO T, UK 6-8 / EUR 32-34, going for $8, as with all other pieces on this post. She wears it with dark wash super skinnies and cute nude wedges.

Now imagine the same thing, worn with shorts, high-waisted or otherwise.
Now imagine them with a cute high-waisted skirt, flared A-line style, or super bandage-y and tight.
Now imagine them with any of the above, in any colour of the rainbow.
Do they go?
YES THEY DO.

I could give you advice and be all "oh this would go perfect with high waisted denim shorts, neon bangles, and converse sneakers" (although it definitely would), but I'm not here to tell you how to wear what you wear. That's for you to decide, your style is something you own, something only you can rock in whatever way you choose.

Basics are here to make our lives easier. And let's face it, who doesn't want an easy way out?
They're our $8 knights in shining armour, free local postage (Australia) included with all orders.

More essentials:

purple superman tee: UK 6-8 / EUR 32-34





red henley (colour swatch coming soon) UK 6-8 / EUR 32-34



these photos had to be very true to real life i.e. boring, cause one of the main things i love about this henley, other than its gorgeously simple yet flattering cut (not too tight!), is how it's not too bright a shade of red. It's definitely red, but think faded red. Think the colour of juicy red watermelon flesh. It's bold yet understated, fitting yet super curve-skimming. this is, although the simplest, probably my favourite piece on this entire post.

boxy crop tees (olive and red) UK 6-10, EUR 32-36





gonna add way more soon, it's 3am and i have to sleep.

Just so y'all know, to place an order just facebook/tweet/email me, stating your mobile number. I will definitely get back to you within a few hours (oh the perils of having a smartphone) and coordinate the rest of the order by SMS. Or whatever method you prefer.

PXD's still under construction so i haven't got the whole fund transfer thing sorted yet, so sorry. I promise to get it sorted by the end of this week (:

Of course, I could say, yes I ship to my friends in Singapore, but let's face it, overseas shipping is gonna cost more than the item itself, so....I do not recommend it. Aussie folks inundate me with orders please and thank you <3

I love you all so much for giving me 200+ views in ONE DAY. Keep spreading the PXD like an STD. no i'm kidding, STDs are bad.

preview

i've decided to label every selling post so-to-speak a russian number. I'll write them the way they're pronounced/spelt in english, which may not be accurate at all, but hey, everyone gets to learn to speak some russian ;) okay maybe i won't. i'm inconsistent and moody, so sue me.

preview time, full outfit up tomorrow.


i've put a lot of effort into this, ignored too many texts, stayed up too late for too many nights. please support me,

prologue: meet the (other) stylist

Hey guyzes,

So this is my first post, and it isn't a selling post. I thought I'd just introduce everyone to my co-stylist and gorgeous model, Athari. You can follow her on twitter here.






she was wearing that when i got to her place, apparently that's what she wears to sleep, and this is how she looks right after waking up. with that gorgeous hair. don't you just hate her?


just kidding though, love her, she's an incredibly beautiful person both inside and out.
