I found Orla Kiely AW10 collection via Bleubird Vintage blog. I know it is a bit early to start worrying about fall and winter clothing yet, but I could not resist posting it here!
I love the bow print dress, hooded sweater and winter romper. I feel like summer is slipping away so quickly – I have not done anything summer yet! I really want to go see fireworks at the festival, beach, and water park!

The Real i feature
My shop is featured at The Real i! The episode in which my dress was featured in is episode 38.
I’m not sure how to upload a video using URL on blogger, so no direct link here, but please check it out through this link.
The Real i is an online TV based in NC, and they introduce different online shops each week. I’m thrilled that my dress got featured, but I wished they said my name with correct pronunciation..it’s “vivat veritas”, not “vivat veriteez”.. oh well.
The item featured is this made to order party dress/bride’s maid dress 🙂
Yakuza’s wife
After Lasik surgery, I was not in the state of modeling clothes for my shop – my eyes were watery and no make up was allowed. So I begged my sister to model for me. I wish she was as corporative as she was yesterday all the time! Most of the time, she refuses to model my clothes. I much prefer taking pictures of the clothes on someone else than myself!
When I first showed her the fabric I bought, her reaction was, “ya…Yakuza’s wife? You want to pretend to be a Yakuza’s wife?”. I guess Japanese people think tiger = Yakuza-ish. I wouldn’t have gone for this fabric if it were not for this color scheme – black and white. If there were any other colors in it, I think it would be too much. But since it’s monotone, it balances out with the unique print of tiger and cherry blossom…I think.
This season, I have a tendency to pick out quirky print with different animals on it, like crab print, because I’m so influenced by Miu Miu collection.
