to all of my beloved readers

Thank you so much for following me for the past year! You guys kept me going when blogging got boring. ;)

I just wanted to let you know that I've created a Tumblr! To be honest, I've been a little unsure of the future of this blog lately. I was tired of the layout and even my name ;) so I thought of exporting it to Tumblr or axing it completely. I'm still thinking about this, but in the meantime I've created a Tumblr to keep me occupied / to test the waters. Follow me there to stay posted!

jack, lazaro, & kristen: one big, happy family



NEED this issue now.. Kristen looks beautiful, but Jack, Lazaro, and their ineffably stunning clothes were the real clincher.

pretty people in pretty clothes.. seriously.


Camel-colored coats and capes have been my current obsession.. "Secret Garden," as well! So have red coats! How pretty is that shade of red? I ALMOST bought this Sandro cape on sale from Net-a-Porter last week! (Um, what kind of poor person owns a $630 (full price) cape? Only in Korean dramas..) I DESPISE the rich mother character to the right, but I have to admit I like her outfit here. (I spy a Peter Pan collar!) Her hair is a different story, though. XD
Glove hat, crazy layers, printed tweed jacket.. LOVE.
Freakin' crazy chic European women.. They can wear a potato sack and still look sexy.

As much as I love androgynous and masculine outfits, I also love super feminine ones! Chunky jewelry, leopard heels, t-strap peep-toes paired with sheer socks, 70s-style skirts and blouses.. YUM!

christian siriano spring 2011.. KILL ME NOW.

Four months ago, at New York Spring 2011 Fashion Week, Christian Siriano debuted a collection inspired by "African, Indian and Chinese influences mixed with measures of elegant opulence," as described by paylessontherunway.com. While I wasn't a fan of the apparel, minus maybe this dress, I was immensely impressed by his line of shoes for Payless.

Siriano and Payless most definitely stepped up their game this season, as each shoe was more aesthetically and architecturally pleasing than the one before it. The neutral yet vibrant colors and fabrics used and curved platforms and HEELS (DYING!) constructed were like nothing I had ever seen before from Payless (or even Siriano). I can honestly say I'd wear every single shoe from this collection, as I can't stop drooling over them. Seriously.. Look at them! My only question is "When will these shoes be available online or in stores?!" WELL DONE, CHRISTIAN AND PAYLESS! x

NEED THESE!!
NEED THESE, TOO!


AAAND NEED THE ONES ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT!

Christian, I love you! Can we be friends? XD

SOOO, remember that themed shoot I worked hard on two weeks ago? WELL, the film came out blank. ==;; FML. But thankfully my friend Mico gave me another hour of her precious superhero time (She's studying to be a nurse.) to reshoot the film. :) We went a slightly different route this time, as it was too bloody cold to play dress-up outside, so I experimented a little with lighting and semi-comical outfits slapped together from Mico's fairly empty wardrobe.

I managed to snap a few digital photos on the side, so here's a preview of my project. The shots that I chose for my final project don't resemble the following photos at all but I thought these came out really cute. But then again, I'm biased, since I totz love this girl to death. I can't wait to shoot her for my Digital Photography class next semester.

Haha, enjoy the random 2NE1 music video at the end. 2NE1's new stylists seem to be filling their old stylists' big shoes pretty well. HOORAY (for that + CdG, Chanel Spring 2010 couture show hair, etc.)!!!!!

GOTTA GET BACK TO STUDYING NOW! xx
