Angelic Groove: Groove with me through the dark nights...

Recently, I have been listening to songs that are quite old..hahaha...like Every Little Thing's Time Goes By. Okay, not that kind of 60s 70s old..but this is like their first single ever..

Then remember the movie That Thing You Do? yeah..that catchy tune still rocks my world till today.

And you realise the fashion today is like walking back in time. What's with the vintage dresses, large retro sunglasses or the colourful plastic frames. And belts on dresses, bohemian and the big tops style. Remember Madonna's latest MVs featuring her amazing lean body? The emphasis isn't on that however, I wanted to talk about her hair, her makeup and the music genre. retro disco style, with her swept back hair, headband and that glitter on eyes makeup. Adds on to how fashion seems going backward instead of forward.

No more originality? I wonder. After all, the famous brands become famous because of their those styles. Remember how people predicted fashion of the future? Metallic suits, alien style helmets, robotic colours. No such thing as you've seen now. Everything is not what people in the past expected.

But you know what kind of trend I would like to wear, if Singapore isn't so freaking hot 24/7? Chinese costumes. Han dynasty's costumes and also the Manchu dynasty's. They looks fabulous~ elaborate yet beautiful. I like Tang dynasty's revealing style too..

Another style I want to wear would be the western gowns in the early days, like Sense and Sensibility style..hahah...I love how the gentleman wore their coats and neckties...you don't see it nowadays.

Of course, I think I can't wear them now, since Singapore is too hot to wear those lovely Han Fu. I tell my sister that I want to get a qipao to wear, I want my chinese roots to run deep. Although I like Japanese stuff, Chinese culture is something of my interest as well~ :) And my wedding gown will be qipao inspired too~ ^_^
