paradox

this past sunday was university of hawaii's annual fashion show and i was asked by misha, one of the designers, to model for her segment! it was such a blast watching everyone chaotically assemble everything into an epic showcasing of student work. misha's "alpine high tea" collection was so beautiful. her hard work and effort over the months paid off as everyone admired the intricate and well-executed looks coming down the runway. my outfit was part of the denim category which was required by each of the senior designers. the jacket i wore was made of bleached, SHREDDED denim. emphasis on the shredding because misha devoted hours to that beauty. did i mention that she spent a few hours every night weaving the friendship bracelets and necklaces for each of the looks? talk about dedication. my lipstick-gone-mad look is supposed to suggest that i "ran off into the woods and ate a whole bunch of berries" according to my attending make-up artist deena (just in case you thought otherwise).  i'm a little biased....but misha's collection was BY FAR my favorite. so thank you misha for asking me to be a part of this.

Just bought Rumi's newly released RVCA "Machinery" dress in both black and white (I seriously could NOT decide, so give me a break). The inspiration behind her design is Milla Jovovich's character Leeloo in The Fifth Element (note the white bandaging). That pretty much secured my purchase considering the fact I LOVE Milla. I mean, who doesn't love a model/badass-chick-playing-actress/fashion designer for Jovovich-Hawk/hot mom? I'm hoping some of that will rub off on me. Got the dress here! So get excited.

gams galore.

I have to admit, I'm a leggings type of girl (for good reason though!). God just decided one day to say "Hey, let's make this Chinese girl abnormally tall for her ethnicity, and while we're at it, slap some large thighs on her for good times' sake." The problem becomes this neverending search for the holy grail of all jeans. I'll know when we meet because it will be a heavenly union of butt, thighs, hips, and denim and all the angels will be singing "Hallelujah!"

Anyway, I love the look of paneled leggings lately especially these because the cut on them can just totally redefine your legs! Definitely something I need. They're also totally the way to dress for the future, you know? Don't get me wrong, I love retro throwbacks and vintage notions but we're also in 2010 now and we can't forget to look forward! The leggings here are from OakNYC, Rag&Bone, H&M, and BlackMilk, aren't they HOT?
