Fashion Fever

Monday, September 12th, 2011

Are everyone high on fashion as much as I am? I love checking out all the spring collections so far and I’m liking what I see…I think the trends are going to be collared shirt dresses and sheer cut-outs on the dresses and skirts as well as side slits. The streetstyle is as impressive as ever..as you can see below!Gorgeous Hanneli in a bright side-slit dress! I love her hair too!All these three ladies don’t need introduction. My favorite is the combination of the delicate lace blouse and polkadot pants!1. silk bookmark blouse $110.00 (madewell.com) 2. Bright Necklace Silver $57.00 (weekday.com) 3. Central Park Satchel $70.00 (Nastygalvintage.com) 4. Skyler Skirt $68.00 (Abercrombie) 5. Mark & James by Badgley Mischka ‘Danya’ Sandal $275.00 (Nordstrom) 6. Leonard Star In Tort $160.00 (needsupply.com)Lubov Azria’s way of dressing is full of inspiration. She looks appropriate for her age yet sexy, daring and confident. I always love strong women designers in fashion: Miuccia Prada, Donatella Versace, Jill Stewart, Donna Karen, Diane Von Furstenburg etc. Phobe Philo at Celine is truly an inspiration to me because her designs reflects who she is as a person and what she envisions women to wear 10 years from now. Read more of her interview here.Isn’t Karlie Kloss and Jason Wu so cute together?

Wishing you a week full of style inspirations! xoxoxoxoxo

I love Elle UK fashion editors

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

I always adore the way Elle UK editors dress to the office! They look like such a great team and I wish they’re my coworkers. Wouldn’t it be nice to come to work and be inspired by people around you and their outfits? That would be my dream job! One of my all-time favorite fashion editors, Kat Webster.Aren’t they all so chic?

What kind of clothes do your coworkers wear? Are they casual or dressy? I’d love to know! xoxoxoxoxoo

Show me the personality

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

One question that I think about when I read blogs is that how much personality the blogger is showing on his/her blog. Of course, we want people to think positively of us when they visit our blogs but I’m curious about the flaws as well. There are things that I like about myself but there are also things I don’t like very much. I like that I’m very friendly person, I tend to approach things with a sense of humor, I will do anything for someone I love and I’m a good listener. But I don’t like that I’m not really as outgoing as I want to be, I can get offended very easily (I’m working on it), I can be a pain in social events where I’ll act awkward and say all the wrong things (I didn’t mean to, really!), and I complain way too much about the weather…which I have no control of. What about you? I want to know what you like and don’t like about yourself.

Oh…and here are the outfits I’m planning on wearing for my dentist appointments….Some of my favorite looks from Nastygal, especially those red shorts! It would look perfect with everything!A great jacket that can work at the office and beyond! I can’t wait to wear it with my denim shorts! Chain Trim Crepe Weave Jacket $89.90 (shopakira.com)Such a sexy skirt from Stylenanda! I just bought it today! (Stylenanda Skirt $35.05)

1. SILK CROP VEST BY BOUTIQUE $84.00 (Topshop) 2. staircase skirt $99.99 (madewell.com) 3. SEGMENT COLLAR $30.00 (Topshop) 4. The Row Sunglasses with leather details $575.00 (nathalieschuterman.com) 5. September Trip Satchel $54.99 (modcloth) 6. Stella mccartney shoes NUDE $400.00 (matchesfashion.com)

Wishing you a wonderful day! xoxoxoxoxoo



Fashion Everywhere

Monday, August 29th, 2011

Did you guys have a great weekend? Last Saturday, I went to the dentist and went through a painful cleaning plus a consultation where I was informed that I need to remove my two wisdom teeth and I will be sedated during the procedure on my next visit. Yeah, I’m totally looking forward to that…(*sarcasm wink*). So naturally, I went to the mall afterwards and bought a couple of new things to calm myself. Shopping is one of the ways I cope with stress. What about you?

And now, on to a new day and an even better week….Fight the Monday blues..put a bounce in your step! Wear your favorite outfit, listen to happy music!Love these inspirations for the office…especially black and white with a pop of color!If I’m going to wear all black today, this is how I’m going to do it!1.

Have a magical weekend!

Friday, August 26th, 2011

One of the reasons why I love blogging so much is that you get to share a part of yourself with the world and enjoy getting to know other people in the process. I’m a pretty quiet person but I get fired up if I’m talking about something I have a passion for. I guess today, I want to share a couple of things about me that you don’t know…so here it goes:
1. English is not my first language.
2. I’ve only had two boyfriends in my life.
3. I’m a very consistent person and I admire and respect people who are consistent in what they do, what they say and what they believe in.
4. I’m very loyal. Once I decide that I like you, it is FOREVER.
5. One of the biggest mystries for me is when I hear people criticize or made fun of Tom Cruise so hatefully and aggressively. I still don’t get it. When I saw him jumping on Oprah’s couch professing his love for Katie Holmes, I was just feeling so happy looking at him. I thought Wow, that was pretty amazing that he’s not afraid to show his emotions. I didn’t think anything more than that. I was so surprised to see how the American public reacted to the whole situation…it was terrible.  They seemed to enjoy attacking for his belief in Scientology (America is a free country the last time I checked and everyone is free to believe whatever religion they want, right? So why attack him?) or his height or his roles in movies…..but I couldn’t understand the whole backlash or hate for someone who is just so excited to find a girl he loves.

Anyways….
