The Sugarcubes- “Birthday”
Man, I love Bjork!!  Love love love her!  I can listen to “Birthday” on repeat all day.  This song may not be a ‘happy birthday’ song, but it is a coming of age story about a girl.  And on that note, it was my 24th birthday on Thursday!  I finally feel like I’m [...]

BEAT IT

I’m wearing the red 3.1 Phillip Lim cadet jacket mentioned in an earlier post.  This jacket is amazing, I wish I could wear it more often.  My new job’s dress code is very casual/hip/boho so it doesn’t go with the environment I’m [...]

Braids

I love braids! It’s so hard to do yourself, especially with super straight asian hair. I’m absolutely adoring the braided headband! Oh…if only I could just learn how to do that. Whenever I try to braid my own hair, it always slips out. If you have any recommendations, please let me know…  

spring time is here!

High-fashion stripper shoes

The shoes at Alexander McQueen’s fall/winter 2009 collection were insane to the membrane. Talk about the platform trend multiplied by sequins, feathers, and leather. The collection was exuberant and defiant in McQueen’s dramatic style. The models were sex-dolled up in [...]

Spring 2009 “aggressive shoes” are here! I love everything about it–from the rocker Dolce Vita peep-toe boots to the Versace platform clogs. Who would ever taught that clogs could look oh so stylish! I’m glad platforms are in again; it’s just gives me the extra leverage I need since I’m only [...]

I adore Elizabeth and James.  It’s downtown chic done by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.  The convertible trench coat dress is an awesome idea and it’s a great way to get more bang for your buck.  Having a nice taupe colored [...]

Balmain F/W 09

Christophe Decarnin is the man!!  He’s also the no.1 most copied designer in the past 2 seasons.  Women crave his clothes which is selling out before it even arrives to stores.  Luckily, for those who do not have discretionary income for Balmain pieces, there are/will be knock-offs.  Let’s [...]
