“In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.” - Mark Twain

I can't be in Japan this spring for sakura season because of prior commitments, so I am going to live vicariously through this lovely cocktail dress :

Tskye Kyoko Cocktail Dress

I am a huge fan of Singaporean designer Alexia Ho's label Tskye. Alexia Ho was trained at Parson's in New York and interned at Vera Wang, and her designs veer towards chic vintage in designer fabrics. Elegant and quirky, Alexia's designs are perfect for day or nights, for any occasion.

Speaking of Japan, I am psyched that casual wear retailer Uniqlo is finally setting up shop here :

Uniqlo Spring 2009

Uniqlo's spring campaign offers its signature skinny jeans in a myriad of fresh fun colors, and I am rather excited at checking them out although knowing my tendency towards the classic safe designs, I am likely to buy a pair in dark blue or black. Unfortunately the first store opens next month in Tampines, which is practically the equivalent of a day trip to Malaysia. Why they chose to have it in the heartland boondocks I will never comprende.
