donut be afraid

January 4, 2016

I’m tougher now, I’ve changed. I went from hating being alone, to slowly accepting the mundane reality of it, to transforming it into something healing and soothing. It’s cold outside, and there are always lonely moments, but I let myself drown in work and the processions of the day-to-day- and looking back, it’s not so bad. My heart is free.

This outfit is dedicated to those edgy pieces that you find here and there. When I see something like this, this kind of thought process goes through my head: “….Wow. Well, I’m not really sure if I could pull that off….. but honestly I love it so imma just do this.”

the girl, the dress

December 27, 2015

If any of you have undergone a drastic hair change, you might have experienced the slight wardrobe crisis that follows. It’s those moments of sadness here and there where you realize your favorite shirt doesn’t look as killer anymore with your new hair shade, or where things actually start clashing when they used to complement. Of course, most of us can’t just run out and buy a new set of clothes for our closets. My advice would be to repurchase a few things that really make your hair look amazing, and then work around with your wardrobe and see if you can find some new pairings or pull up old clothing that you’ve forgotten about. And these photos are taken by Ed Tran, one of my favorite Bay Area photographers 🙂 Check out his link!

In my case, I saw this dress at Kate Spade which I believe was part of their November 2015 collection and eventually decided to buy it, It’s got a beautiful navy skirt which I think really makes my hair really stand out in the best way. I also love the texture of the fabric and the shape of the dress. I obviously won’t have that many opportunities to wear it out, but when I do I’m sure it will impress!

Some clothing pieces you just have to go for 🙂 Until next time!

Sleek Revisiting

December 22, 2015

If there’s one place I’m always down to go to, it’s the city. I love being in the city, most big metropolitan downtowns. I really believe that places like the city can fuel my dreams, and the dreams of many people. I love to see the store fronts of high end designers, I love the display of the clothing and the art and the glamour that the scene encompasses. I don’t know my exact relation to these kinds of window displayed scenes, but they’re inspiring just the same. Steps sound louder and stronger against the cement, buildings are taller and bigger, the potential feels like a blanket around you.

Trend Mixup

December 20, 2015

Stanley Wu and I headed out to a spot on the UCLA campus to shoot this outfit that I had in mind. I love this blue and white patterned skirt, which I bought in an underground subway station in Seoul, Korea last summer. It’s like a spin-off of checkers. It was super cheap and I wore it all the time over there with crop tops. In the states, I’ve been wearing it less, especially recently with the colder weather. (Once spring and summer kick around again, it won’t be the same story!) For this look, I paired it with a gray cashmere sweater. If you’re trying to pair a sweater with a skirt, I would always tuck it in (unless it’s a short or cropped sweater) so you can see more of the skirt. It gives the outfit more structure.
