Only You….

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

“A man out there is meant to be the love of your life, your best friend, your soul mate, the one you can tell your dreams to. He’ll brush the hair out of your eyes. Send you flowers when you least expect it. He’ll stare at you during the movies, even though he paid $8 to see it. He’ll call to say goodnight or just cause he is missing you. He’ll look in your eyes and tell you, you’re the most beautiful girl in the world, and for the first time in your life, you’ll believe it.”- Nicholas Sparks ( via spunkfairy )

Isn’t it romantic? I always like to see real couples with children who are successful and happy. Model Nataliya Vodianova and her husband Justin Portman is one of my favorite couples. They seemed to be genuinely in love and I can’t help but think of them when I read this quote.

Shopping list (I wish)

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Well, I’ve returned my camera and it’s going to take a few days until I get a new one. Meanwhile, I have been shopping steadily (I’m very bad, I know) and will have a lot to make up for my lack of outfit posts. On a happy note, I was interviewed by Rebecca from The Clothes Horse which you can read it here. I love her blog and I check it everyday! Thank you for choosing me to do an interview! xxoxoxoxoxoxo

One of my favorite things to do is to check shopbop (I love sites that update everyday!) and make a wishlist of all the things I want to buy and obssessively check to see if they’re going to be on sale. Here are some of the things:

1. Rag & Bone: I don’t normally wear long dresses or skirts but I really like this white dress. You can put on a nice printed belt or a cropped jacket/vest and you’re ready to go to pool party in style.

2. Velvet: I love the slight ruffle sleeves and deep v-neck of this simple but oh-so-chic dress! You can wear a cute bikini inside or necklace and hit the beach.

3. Kova & T: This must be the most adorable little black dress ever! I love the buttons in the front and feminine cut of this dress.

4. Torn by Ronne Kobo: How fabublous is this dress!? I love the form-fitting fit plus the stunning graphic details in the middle. I would love to have this in my closet.

1: Rag & Bone: This silver boyfriend blazer is an instant classic. You can wear it and feel smarter than anyone in the room.

2. Marc by Marc Jacobs: Ever since I saw this on the runway, I’ve been obssessing over it. The color, the tailored cut on the shoulders, and design makes this jacket so covetable.

3. Elizabeth and James: I love white jackets but especially this one. Sharp collars and cropped waistline are so modern and fresh.

4. Juciy Couture: How cute is this polkadot jacket!? It would be so fun to wear it to dinner with your girlfriends!

I hope you’re having a happy Monday! Love you guys! xxoxoxoxoxx0



Still Waiting…

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

I got my new camera today….except that it wasn’t what I wanted. It looks so different from what I saw in the picture and sadly, I’m returning it. I probably buy it from a store if the price is the same as online but we’ll see. That means I won’t be able to post outfit pictures for a while. However, I’ve been shopping quite recently and have some cool purchases to show you guys so stay tuned! The outfit above is something I took a while ago but didn’t think it looks “worthy” to post. But something to look at anyways, yes?

Need…Want…

Viva Rock
I wish I’m wearing this at work right now! It will keep me in good mood all day long! I ordered a new camera and it’s on the way! xxoxoxoxoxoxoo



Girl Crush….

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Lakshmi Menon is one of my favorite models at the moment. She’s originally from Bangalore, India and has done numerous editorials in major fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle, Dazed and Confused and compaigns for Hermes, Givenchy, and H&M. I think she’s extremely gorgeous and has stunning features. Look at those luscious lips! Great skin, perfect proportions and has an irresistable smile. Not only is she beautiful, she graduated from college with a degree in developmental sociology and speaks eloquently in interviews. She definitely leaves an impression with you, doesn’t she?


Beach Love and Broken Camera

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

I was at the beach with bf and took a lot of pictures but the sand got inside my camera lens and now it stopped working! I called the camera repairs but it costs almost as much as the camera itself so I’ll probably get a new one. Hope you don’t mind if I don’t post outfit pictures for a few days. xxoxoxoxoxo


Rush….

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

I took these photos on my way to work and I was in a huge rush so I apologize for the bad lighting. I’m wearing a white one-shouldered bodysuit from Topshop with a skirt from where else? Topshop as well. I hope everyone is having a great week! xxoxoxoxoxo

Must-Buy

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

I love seeing models on the covers of a fashion magazine. I feel like we see too many recycled celebrities over and over and I’m quite sick of it. I’m curious about the choice of cover models as well as the models that are featured as the “The Faces of the Moment” in this May 2008 Vogue. You have all the pros and long-established ones beside a couple of stand-out faces like Lara Stone, Jordan Dunn and and Anna J. Remmeber the Teen Vogue issue with Karlie, Chanel and Ali? It’s refreshing to see models on the covers. This is definitely an issue I can’t wait to read!
