choo-ing in and out ...

i was in the middle of composing an email when someone buzz-ed me.

j : so, how was it?
me: errr... how was what?
j: the sunday event
me: oh, it was good. came for it and went home with it
j: detail detail
me: later ya when i'm not busy
j: going to client place soon, tell me about it tomorrow

yeah, last sunday i attended an invitation. four seasons hotel. la mer. bmw. jimmy choo. personal branding. all these kinda add pressures on the dressing code. but this yours truly are in a time where only few fit her. what the heck, i'm attending it for the one and only reason, la mer gift pack. so there i was in jeans and tees, though i conciously wore high heels instead of my fave sandals.
event was good, being introduced to the trends of 2007. information on taking care of your leather, suede and velvet was also given - remember the #1 rule for leather :- alternate! i was excited when out came the shoes and bags of the next season, of course we tried some of it. one of the sandals was oh so gorgeous but come on, thousands of dollars for a shoe or a bag that's been spotted in beyonce's hand? unless i win a lottery. once done we were given a talk on personal branding, quite fun when we were to stand, breath, talk, feel the rib cage, and so on. i assume bmw would be next since we know cars were always associated with personal image. the most interesting part was of course la mer, where we were given tips and also try all sort of their products though i skipped trying some that i use especially when the lady that came to our side is someone whom i know knows that i'm wearing it. it was fun and once the events was over we were told to place and order, especially for the choos that will only be available next year. i didn't see anyone doing that, oh actually there was one. a lady dressed in true religion jeans and a gucci jacket who came with her daddy (or sugar daddy? who knows). as for me, i went out to collect the lamer gift pack and went home. back to the reality world - my world.
