punching in a dream

song by the naked and famous

hear it here

"bright lights turn me clean, this is worse then it seems"

this is a really casual outfit, i used to be a "true religions" only type of gal, but i've outgrown that gaudy look and so most of my jeans now are just levis or jeggings.

more recently, i decided i wanted to not be so boring in dressing

so i'm starting to buy pants/jeans that are printed or colored!

these pants are the best buy i've made all year long.

"i don't want to bend, let the bad girls bend!"

i thought I'd mix some of the ever trending lace feminine trend together with this chic givenchy-esque dress I bought from a little hole in the wall hip boutique in taiwan. 

with the touch of combat boots, i thought it'd be fun to create a look that clashes fem with edgy.

OOTD | Maybe There's A Bit Of Me, Waiting For A Bit Of You

In my younger days, I was very bold when it came to "fashion". Although I can hardly count the silly outfits I wore during those days "fashion" anymore, I really do miss the confidence of my younger spirit. A good example, one that is rather embarrassing and in a way odd, is in middle school, I decided one day that I wanted to study and build a career in fashion. The problem was, I didn't always feel confident, and I knew at a young age that to survive in the fashion world you had to be confident, and so I decided to wear Tigger ears to school every day for a month. Because if I could pull that off without giving a shit about what people thought, I could do anything. It worked, after that I was unafraid to wear anything, however once high school rolled around that confidence seemed to disappear, and I slowly began to wear mostly neutrals.. But with fashion trends being so colorful lately, I decided, to hell with my shyness, I am working in the fashion industry, its time to bring back that confidence, and well, here's my go at bright bold pastel spring colors! Hope you enjoy.

So as a shorty, my jeans are always too long for me! & yes I could easily get them hemmed for a few dollars, or even do it myself on my sewing machine.. but I don't know I quite like the way rolled up jeans look. I know some people loathe the idea of it! What do you think about it?

The camera doesn't do this cute top justice, but in case you can't tell, on it are little Poodles, made out of beading! It looks just like my malti-poo, Vinny, and so i had had had to splurge on this shirt!

Let The Groove Get In

Being back from my three month off from school means getting back into the grind! That means I have resumed classes at FIDM in Downtown LA, and must you know, look at least decently presentable. This is a little outfit I threw together the other day for class, and I thought it was simple but fun, very matchy matchy & all that jazz.

Awkward smile + Asian eyes = ME (;

One of my favorite things about this trench, besides the nice soft silk, is the split back! Its just such a cute a fun extra touch, that instantly makes an outfit stand out more!
