pretty punky.

I know I'm finally joining the body jewelry bandwagon but hey I'm in Hawaii, we're a little (A LOT***) behind on everything especially fashion trends. I might even be a little too ahead of myself on this one maybe??.... NAHHHHHH. fashiontoast's rumi neely wears these things so well. and park & cube girl has an awesome little DIY tutorial for this one, which I'll probably get around to doing.... never. Anyway, here's a little lookbook of all of Litter SF's freakin awesome jewelry line which I have always admired, especially the leg chain garters (HOT!). Totally DIY possible, I think. Who says punk can't be pretty?

please forgive me.

Ok, ummmm all i can say is I'M SO SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME! Laziness, fashion month (which I hope you all followed on Style.com), thanksgiving eateries, halloween craziness and work have kept me in a state of frenzy. Yes, laziness drives me into a crazy state. But fear not, I have continued to keep up with my share of daily blog reading list, magazines, etc... and I have a whole bunch of inspiration and creativity to share with you.

All my latest obsessions are scattered below in no particular order because I absolutely love it all. Hopefully I can make up my absence with an uber long post. Besides work, I've been giving a shot at some styling working with a photographer friend who is beginning to introduce himself to the fashion photography world. Who better than to help him out than someone obsessed with clothes? ME :D... ok, annoying, moving on... it's only the beginning so try not to be too harsh (I'm openly sensitive about what I'm doing yet I'm curious to see the response. hehe). Looking forward to projects during Christmas time! Got some new outfits too. Woo! K, I'm turkey-stuffed. Will be knocking out in 5...4...3....2.... zzzzZZZz.

Just caught up on the latest episodes of project runway season 6.

omFg... the all-star episode!!! in the words of rachel zoe, "I DIE." Seriously, I freakin heart Daniel Vosovic and I'm so glad he won.

As for the new season... no comments yet, but it's looking pret-ti koooool.

watching tv and then getting trashed in: long pant jumpsuit from random boutique on melrose, vintage gold snake belt, jessica simpson shoes

ode to the recessionista

This has got to be one of my favorite editorials so far this season.

1) because my girl Sasha P. is in the house! (haha, ignore my wannabe-ghettoness)

2) shows that almost anything can be turned into clothing and then be put into a top-dollar magazine

3) and because it is aware of our world's economical changes and makes it still ok to wear thousand-dollar furs, shoes, and socks anyway.

Here are my top picks from the editorial because the shopping bags actually become accessories or articles of clothing, but the full editorial can be found in this month's W or here!

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!
