The Most Feminine Truck

This is seriously the best picture I took in Korea. It is a pink truck in the artsy neighborhood of Hongdae! Apparently, it was in a popular Korean movie called Cinderella Man. And if you go to the site, it's actually a clothing site! But really, I wouldn't mind this as my source of transportation. ^^

You're My Ray of Sunshine

This is seriously one of the best bicycles I have ever seen. Sure, I love the simplicity of Muji bikes, but the bright ray of sunshine this bicycle gives off is irresistable. This was a Benetton bike right outside of my grandma's apartment in Seoul. Koreans are crazy about health, and everyone- from second graders that need to go to their respective tutors to those in their 60s -ride bikes all over Seoul. It's great- except when you're the pedestrian that almost gets run over. AKA me.

School's Out

IT'S SUMMER!!! I'm so happy I'm finally out of school. As much as I love learning, I can't handle the stress of grades. Honestly. My finals were tres facille and I think I did well. But now what's on my mind is: KOREA! I'm going in a week. What should I pack in my carry on...?!

P.S. As an official declaration of summer, I leave you this beautiful picture of a girl at a beach.

Come 'round to the Freak Show

This spread is so creative and beautiful. It featured a band- I forgot the name, but it was featured in Dazed & Confused. I always admired the circus theme and of course, the beautiful clothes.

Adorned with Pastries

Found this Voguegirl spread on Fashion is Spinach and adored it first sight! I really envy this girl right here. Surrounded by cupcakes, tiere cakes, macaroons... Yes, I still adore tea parties and no, I still did not have mine yet!

Hope

"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."

Romans 5:3-4

Vintage Fountains

I completely forgot where I got this from... I got it a few days ago too! :x But anyways, I love this picture for its vintage lighting, perfect dress, and the fountains remind me of DC, my home sweet home. Or close to it. It's been raining all week and this makes me crave for true summer to arrive...

Sunshine

I forgot where I got this picture from. :x Sorry to whoever's this is! Anyway, I've been trying to capture light into my photographs lately. It's really hard! It doesn't help that the dreary New England weather is back either. Bleh. But this is among a collection of photographs that all capture light- which I adore. Beautiful and simple seems to be the theme- if only I can capture that on film!

Pourquoi la mode est important?

After I left Yves Saint Laurent, I wanted to quit fashion and travel the world. I read an article about a mother. Her son got injured in a terror attack and he lost his legs. He was 7 years old. This mother left her other four kids and her husband and her job and took this boy to a little room they rented near the hospital. She took care of him for two years. Every time they put prosthetics on him, he'd grow, and they wouldn't fit, so they'd had to start all over. At that moment, you have to ask yourself: Is fashion important? Is it important to talk about luxury? Does it really matter if you're going to wear a red dress or not? Finally, I thought, Because of that woman, it is important. You make people dream. You make people think. You have to give them stories. You have to introduce fantasy. Fashion is how we bring them into the world today. That is my job.

Creative Chaos

One of the many reasons I am so excited for my visit to Seoul is the clothes. From wholesale clothes at Dongdaemun to high end designer at Hyundai mall, clothes are absolutely stylish and trendy. While missing Korea, I love to look through online Korean clothing boutiques, one of them being Tsumori. The clothes are alright, but the photography is amazing! Also, I love the creative chaos going on in the room. This is my heaven of an office space!

Leenah, Won't You Have Tea with Me?

I'm enchanted by this picture-- the perfect depictment of my perfect tea party. Eleanor, whose my age and far far far more talented than I am, has a stunning portfolio and a few solo exhibitions. As far as I'm concerned, at 16 years old, those are quite some accomplishments. I constantly look through her Flickr for inspirations like so many others. Anyways, back to the picture. I am on an absolute tea craze!

Green + Light

Isn't this picture gorgeous? The flurolescent green tulle along with the beam of sunshine in the background rounds up this wicked pretty picture. The model is beautiful to boot. It reminds me of sunrise and your head still to hazy and fatigued to properly function... Sounds like my typical morning.

Sarah + Adam

I stumbled upon these set of photos at Once Wed, a fantastic site for brides and grooms alike (although I am far from that!). My favorite wedding pictures were of Sarah and Adam's wedding. I adored Sarah's outfit, which was a perfect combination of a grecian dress, dusty pink roses, strands of pearls, and salmon colored sandals. My dream wedding is still in the making, but this is as close as it can get.

Ma coeur...

This is my Twitter picture, mainly because I don't want to post a picture of myself. Haha, I'm so paranoid. But anyways, it also makes me feel so refreshed- I love sunny days for sure, but clouds are always the best. :) (Oh & I've been on a total French mood- notice my title?!)

Happy May! To kick off this new month, here is a look from my favorite collection of all time- Louis Vuitton SS07. Ther combination of light colors, tulle, flowers, ruffles, and dewy make up made this collection oh so perfectly spring. What's your favorite collection?

Starry Eyed

Stars were always important in my life. My Korean name literally means silver star, When You Wish Upon a Star was my absolute favorite song when I was little, and nothing made me feel more complete than seeing a blanket of stars during the night. This picture is simply wonderfully whimsical- not only my cherished stars are present, but the flowing dress and the lovely background makes this picture one of my top inspirations of the moment.

Transparency + Shadows

This shot is so beautiful. Definately the inspiration of the day. The transparency of the heels, making it look like she's barefoot, along with the murking shadows... It is so lovely. Matches my day- it was amazing. How was your day?
