The higher end

Let's face it. Despite the countless mantra chantings that materials are mere materials, the countless read of Tuesdays with Morrie and the countless reminders that we are leading such a blissful life, we sometimes still can't help wishing a life of the higher end.

I sure know that what we see the goodness in the higher end is just the facade. There's nothing known as the perfect life and life's goodness only comes when you stop complaining, start cherishing and attaining Mother Theresa's degree.

Unfortunately the lawn on the other bed of the river ALWAYS look better, juicer and smells fresher too.

When I watched The Devil That Wears Prada(Though I do not know why Prada and not LV or Dior or anything else?Maybe Prada goes better but that is such a d-uh lianish brand for me),
I was dead down with envy of all the good clothes that Anne Hathaway wore.
She looked so darn gorgeous with the clothes, the hair, the dark eyeliner and the red lipstick.
Clothes like these make your daily wear look oh so wrong.

I was flipping through Style during lunch today and that inspired me to do the post today.
There's nothing in there that is affordable except for the price of the magazine.($5.50)
I never read Style and probably would never if there isnt one lying at my colleague's table today and I was free.


I saw this and I like it almost immediately. To be honest, it wasn't the whole design that appeal but I do like that bling bling and especially that Dior imprinted. The chain part could have do without but again it made it stand out altogether.
If that is an engagement ring, I would want to put it under request!
(READ: BOLDED!)
Engagement rings could be the boriest ever. Mainly that sliver band with a small diamond and mostly, the guy's design sucks.
I do like Irene's one cos' it's not boring and kinda unique!

I realised there's Sytle Men as well. I kinda sum it up that Style Men should be the only few magazines that a guy should read.
FHM, Soccer/Games/Computers related,Gossips/Entertainment related etc reading guys are a bore and typical mostly.
I always roll my eyes when I see Jason, without thinking,head for soccer magazines in the magazine corner.

I like it when a guy is metrosexual. I am not digging for the extreme type but it is almost a courtesy these days that guys should take care of their face, the way they dress up, the perfume they use, the accessories that wear and especially their hair style.

You can tell me to hook up a gay instead but there is a fine line of gap between being gayish and being metrosexual. However if a gay can dress up better than an average boring guy, I rather be seen with a gay who wears nice shirt carrying a LV tote and sways as he walks,proving his nice butt.

That is mainly why I am generally happier when I see Jason being neater and better dress and look.(And not when he isn't)
Such is being shallow? Go figure.

Call it the society's fault. We all know that all these materials at the end of the day won't bring you happiness to your death bed but everyone probably still eye for what features in the next fashion print.
Ok, probably everyone is an overstatement but tell me what's the factor that bring the growth of such magazines and it's industry?

I am not caught in the trap of lusting for such branded cos' I am not born with such limit. But I wouldn't deny that if I have that limit, I would not start wanting.
For now I am just happy with the small buyings (And online shopping expenses is growing!) and console myself with a fact that if I can afford a VAIO, I can afford that LV too if I want to.

So much for a Thursday. Went to pray today and now let's hope all the bad luck is outta my way.
I'm now with a tap on my shoulder and I will holler!
That's my attitude at idiots I met and I don't give them a fuck!
