The New Year!

Wearing h&m jacket, vintage men's olive button down, random black braided details at the waist, UO circle fringe scarf, refuge jeans, payless boots

Yes, it's the new year again! For me, anyways. Other then eating chinese new year food and having a huge feast consisting of crab, fish, shrimp cocktail, soup, and other delicious things, my weekend was on the down-low. Aw man, I'm feeling so freakishly full. I feel like I haven't been hungry for awhile. I better start exercising before I end up like a puffball or ball of squish.

I'm thinking I need to try out the color olive more. I love green.

ALSO,

A lovely blogger from www.ilsscion.onsugar.com gave me this great lemonade award for excellent gratitude and attitude! thank you so much! I wish I had time to tag some other bloggers, but again, thank you!

Sorry about the lack of posts again. I'm such a terrible blogger.

Midterms and Sketches

Sorry for the terrible lack of updates this week! I have midterms in two days and everything is extremely hectic. I just wanted to post a couple pictures of some sketches I had done last year. They're pretty novice-y, but I like some of them. I wish I had more time to do some more! Also, there are a couple pictures of my inspiration board. I'll be sure to post a lot more next week!

PS. Would anyone like to get me all of those things on my wishlist? Sighh.

This and That

If I could only buy one thing this year, it'll be that balmain jacket. and that campaign for maxazria by a gymnast? genius. very beautiful.

Winter Skies

Wearing F21 dress, turtleneck under, mom's old plaid cardigan, random beanie, converse, old textured socks and tights.

I took some pictures of the nice sunset today. I just love the colors.. if only I was on some tropical island..on a beach..sipping iced tea..

I've actually been imagining this outfit for a bit, and I wanted to try it out! I didn't wear it out yet, but I'm hoping too! I was shivering cold while taking these pictures. I'll probably need to layer three pairs of tights to not freeze. The knee high socks actually have a really awesome pattern on them but you don't see it in that picture I'm sure. I'll try to get a closer look some other time.

Sigh, well back to midterms studying while eating some noodles.

Silhouette

Wearing a random pale pinkish shirt, h&m scarf at the waist, am.rag skirt, random tights, guess by Marciano boots, h&m cardi

I tried to take off my cardigan for this picture! But it was just too cold. I really liked the silhouette feel in the last two photos.

It's kind of late, so I'm just going to leave you a couple pictures to look at!

Goodnight.

You Must Not Know About Me

Wearing Am. Rag sweater, F21 long sleeve underneath, F21 secret paisley scarf, old hat, iris jeans, inc. boots

Today I went shopping downtown with my mom. We walked around in Macy's and DSW, and snacked on roasted nuts from a nearby cart. Man, those were good. We took public transportation, which my mom isn't too fond of[she believes that if you have a car, then you should use it]. Since it was going to snow later, she actually suggested it! She's actually terrified of the snow. And so..my mom was complaining about how she was wrapped up like a cocoon the entire time we were shopping. I'm pretty much used to it, and I'm going to have to live with it for the rest of my non-driving life[which is to after college according to my mom]. Thanks mom.

These are just a few shots of the Guess by Marciano boots I got today. I had to get "snow" boots, but these had traction on the bottom, so I convinced my mom to get them for me. I'm not huge on metallics, but the color is actually pretty cool. The ring is from So Good, this local jewelry store that has the craziest selection of costume jewelry. I love them for the rings. The leaf ring I wanted was gone! I was pretty disappointed, but this one is alright.

And lastly, the piano key necklace is just something I've had for a while. I don't know why but I never wear it! I'm not huge on jewelry anymore although I have a ton.

P.S. I need a better camera!

edit** the boots are brown, but they look very black in this picture. weird.

Another Wistlist: a la Urban Outfitters

aren't those birdcage shoes just delicious?

Buried Treasure

[1]vintage jacket [2]vintage cardigan, mom's [3] converse one star men's slouchy sweater, vintage belts, random old pants, newport shoes, h&m scarf

I was cleaning out one of our over-stuffed closets today and dug out some old finds. The first picture was this jacket with crazy print. I'm not sure how to even define it. But it's snazzy for sure. I'm going to wear this out soon.

I can't even explain the second one. It has multicolored polka dots on one side and stripes on the other. You can NOT find anything like this in a store my friend. The buttons=different colors. My mom was cool for sure back in the 80's. Haha. The third photo is actually what I wore today. I wanted to try something very neutral and clean. That reminds me, I need to get a pair of nude shoes pronto. I guess that adds onto my to-buy list.

Peek a Boo

rings, left to right: 2SMRT4U ring[internet safety awareness], f21 half moons ring, imprinted ring from so good[local jewelry shop], ae ring[it says live on it, but you can't see it here, aw.], so good ring[on top], random jeweled ring on bottom.

You can tell that I'm making up for the times I haven't blog by my double day post! *hurrah* I tried a little goldish(I'll call it end-of-the-rainbow gold) eyeshadow as liner and thought it was pretty snazzy. I usually wake up too late to bother with anything too special.

Look at my hair in the last picture. It's the I-just-woke-up hair.

Well, time to sleep. Goodnight.

Orange you excited that I'm actually updating?

I'm sorry you had to live through hearing that terrible knock-knock joke answer. But yes! I am updating for once! I wish I had more time to post up pictures and inspirations, but with the midterms near, let's just say its impossible.
I'm going to a dance on saturday, and I have not found what I'm going to wear yet.. Let's hope a late minute trip to forever21 on friday night will solve that. Or maybe I'll just fish something out of my closet that I haven't wore more than once.

I'm really craving some lace up boots. Flat. The 4-inches are nice, but I can't wait in them for long before my feet start calling for help. I'm really wanting the corsetish-bronze lace up Docs. The flats have an awesome strap. And studs. Need I say more? Do I even have to explain the converse? Sequins. I think I saw them out there a while ago, but I was not bold enough to buy them. Stupid me. MUST find those quick. In fact, Chinese New Year is soon! YES. Money for shoes.. I can already hear my mom yelling at me:

Me: Happy New Year!(in Chinese)
Mom: *gives me red envelope*
Me: *hops for joy* Now I can get those--
Mom: Save this money! Don't get more SHOES.
Me: -.-

Yeah, I'm getting more shoes. Who needs savings?

Wine Red

Wearing Old Navy funnel neck coat, gray cardigan underneath, seed skirt, random tights, aldo acc. legwarmers, payless boots, again.

Yes, I know this outfit is anything but wine red.

The title has just been a catchy song I've been listening to for a bit after my friend sent it to me! It gets stuck in my head all the time! After being on a long shopping ban(okay, it was probably a week long), I went to Target to check out the GO international collection by Thakoon. The patterns were okay, but it didn't capture my attention too much. I think it was the choice of fabrics I wasn't into. I saw some promising pieces, but they were always lacking according to my picky-ness. There was this skirt but it lacked the high-waisted goodness I hoped for. I was pretty disappointed that I walked out empty handed. But on the other hand, I got a box of fruit snacks. I haven't had them in too long! Have I mentioned how addicting they are for me?

I walked over to the Old Navy next door to the Home Depot and decided to search around. I think it was the SALE imprinted on the window. And BAM! I found this white coat. I love its funnel neck, which you can't see too well in the photos. No worries, it'll debut a lot more often! I was also debating with another coat, in a deep cherry red color, like wine red! I just noticed how the title relates to the coat! It was not intentional. Anyways, I've decided for some time that red definitely was not my color, but the coat gave me a second glance! It surprisingly didn't completely wash out my face, since I'm extremely tan. It's weird how tanish I get in the summer. My mom convinced me to buy the white one instead, good choice I'm hoping! I've craving for some color!

I went out to Bertucci's with my mom as a new "experiment". We've hoping to try out restaurants we've never been to before. I'm so stuffed of penne and bread I'm about to explode. Funny moment of the day: My mom tried 10 times to use the pepper shaker until I finally told her to grind it. After I told her that, she kept shaking it. Oh, mom.

Finally the new year! Yes, I've been saying this TOO much. But hopefully I'll post more often and try to get to everyone's comments! Thanks everyone for checking out my blog!

Sorry for the terrible updating! I've been lazy sleeping most of the time and curling up on my couch with a huge blanket and a copy of New Moon. Hehe.
