it's been about five years since i've renewed my prescription glasses and like obama said it's time for a change. totally digging these elizabeth and james specs soon to be released. they even have nerdy names!
top to bottom: centinela, ventura, delancey

freshly squeezed

it's been a routine for three and a half years now. i wake up in the morning, grab my daily smoothie and start sipping away while i delightfully scroll through the numerous new posts on my reader. it's like christmas every morning as i get to watch how people all around the world have styled themselves for the day. and i mean that in the most non-creepy way as possible. here are the blogs i stalk the most. as you will see, i love all types of styles--probably because i can't figure out my own. 
tommy ton of jak&jil blog always captures both the most covetable pieces and moments of each season. 
he is my FAVE!
luxirare comes in as a close second. but it's difficult to compare considering that her penchant for design in both the fashion and gastronomic world is unrivaled! i am floored by every single one of her posts.
i love fashiontoast but who doesn't? that's why instead, i'm posting aimee from Song of Style because i can relate to her better. besides the fact that she's a fellow asian, she's an architecture intern with a passion for fashion (pardon the cliche) just like me!
another personal style blogger i love: the glamourai. she is so good at mixing prints and her style is definitely true to her blog name. notice i'm picking all the bloggers with photographer boyfriends....hint hint.
in terms of minimally chic, i love vanillascented (pictured above) and dead fleurette. the latter follows a stricter nature of minimalism while vanillascented takes a looser approach. but i appreciate both :)
finally, but definitely not last (the list still continues to grow as we speak), i present to you one of my newest additions: the coveteur. freshly squeezed interiors and jealousy-ensuing closets of the fashion elite.

hope you enjoyed.

back to the grind

back to outfit posting! it's been disturbingly long but life's events get in the way and you know how the story goes. here are some pics (yes, that's my boy) from the uh student design event which was a preview of a bigger show to come. super excited to participate. things that have occurred since the last outfit post: 1) i'm now half a blonde. asian blonde to be specific. 2) i'm now part of the cool dslr hipster club now. 2.5) i have a full-zip wallet now (you have no idea how big of a deal that is to me). 3) i've added probably fifty something new blogs to my blogroll 4) i've wasted HOURS on the new additions to my blogroll. lesson of the day: don't activate your google reader if you would like to be productive. until next time!

about my outfit: THE PLEEEEEATS. yeah, i can't get over them.

sporting (<--i feel posh today) : pleated skirt | f21, tank | target, shoes | seychelles, belt | vintage

sweet valley high

i used to love reading sweet valley high. and now kimberley gordon (cofounder of Wildfox), like always, whips up a dreamy lookbook for wildfox's new summery collection. dreaming of sharing secrets, pinky promises and pizza on the floor with friends and lounging by the pool with pretzel floaties of course. now to get through finals......BLAH

it's a wicked case of the eighties

an editorial in the form a film? oh you, betcha.
that and a whole bunch of hair whippin, finger lickin goodness to the beat of duran duran.
and who better to prance around to the rhythm of the eighties than anja, natasha, and isabeli.

she makes me hyperventilate



I AM SO IN LOVE WITH TAYLOR TOMASI.
Her witty style and odd style pairings make me jump for joy.
I mean, a McQueen harness over a knit?
Seriously, come on!
She was such a fricking stunner through fashion month.
And her hair...don't even get me started.
