daylight

Woah, sorry! My blog has been hiding in the dark for sometime due to the extreme sushine that's been calling me from the ending of the summer. I hate going back into routine and seeing the hustle and bustle of morning traffic madness. It's Hawaii, we're supposed to be sipping on pina coladas under swaying palm trees (did I tell you i just turned 21 last week? no more virgin things. ha). Thank goodness this upcoming labor-day weekend will ease everyone back into their fall schedules.

Speaking of fall... that means fashion! Besides the amazing movies which will FINALLY be premiering this month, I'm tired of all these sneak peak editorials and I WANT to TOUCH the real deal. Something about glossy magazines just makes all those must-die-for clothes so much more alluring. All those september issues will be AH-MAZING!


Anyway, about those LA clothes I bought, I will definitely post those soon... I've just been... occupied (in other words: crazy lazy) Here's some sunday shopping that I did. I've been looking for the perfect bandaged skirt and I found it at the butik (one of my fave boutiques in HI). It's structured similarly to an A.Wang skirt from Resort 2009. Now i'm just waiting for these Circa Joan & David oxfords from camille at childhood flames here...ah! I'm so excited!

sorry i've been absent for awhile. took a flight to LA for the weekend (which turned into a week due to standby problems) to take care of some school stuff. but don't worry, i did not come back empty-handed! new outfit posts will come out soon with all my spankin-awesome purchases.

anyway, i can totally picture modern-day morticia addams wearing this dress. it's hawt!

bare naked

Miu Miu's Fall 2009 campaign is genius! Mert & Marcus' bare-naked colors and the minimalist

effect perfectly showcase miuccia's must-have fall/winter clothes and accessories.

Here's my extremely rough interpretation.

vintage crop top, a. mcqueen for target skirt, vintage clutch, jessica simpson wedges (found them for $1!!!)

Found this on the Pipeline. SO BADASS. I want one and I want to learn how to ride it. Will be featured on the upcoming W issue.

How do you like my a.wang's model-off-duty interpretation? Oh don't make me laugh.

clutter me beautiful

I can be quite the ratpacker. I can't seem to throw away the too-small t-shirts with autographs of all my sixth grade classmates or random hello kitty items I made my mom buy every time we passed the Sanrio store at the mall. All those sentimental feelings are tucked away some place somewhere in my house. They're waiting to be thoughtfully placed in some awesome future apartment I'll have, which will be decorated in that "beautiful mess" type of style. I love organized clutter. It's like the happy compromise between the neat freak in me and the actual chaos of life. Here are some inspirations for my future apartment.... uhhh... .. I mean mansion/penthouse.

my magazine collection WILL look like hers.

I want my closet to be as big as Lisa Mayock's of Vena Cava.

I want my belts and jewelery to be organized in a nook just like hers except around an antique birdcage instead.

And I want my shelves color coded. I want I want I want.

Here's a tidbit of my shoes. I'll try to post outfit pics soon, just need to find the time!

Just chillaxin tonight with some honey green tea, curryhouse dinner, V and RUSSH (some newly found zines that I love).

Looking forward to the US movie releases for The September Issue by RJ Cutler and Coco Avant Chanel featuring Audrey Tatou!

chill pill

seriously, nothing beats a beach day afternoon especially
when there's no one there to bother you.

trying to channel the vintage beach look in: target bikini top

i don't care, it's a.wang.

did i tell you? i finally snagged a pair of these fake babies.

the bf is not so fond of them but how could you ever dispute a.wang's glory? i have no clue.
