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. ^^

In the Year 2000

This is great. Really.

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.

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!

Queen of Food

Anyone who knows me personally knows that I'm a major foodie. It's a miracle I'm not overweight. So yesterday, I took a trip to Boston to meet up with a close friend of mine and to shop. I lunched at Starbucks with my giftcard (hurrah for $50 Starbucks giftcards!!!) and ate pesto pasta with black tea lemonade. Yum. For dinner, we planned on eating at this really good Thai place, but we ran out of time, so we ate at Burger King instead. Haha, what a downgrade, right? Well, lucky for me, I've been wanting to try these burger shots for a while so I finally did! They were so cute but too much bread and too little meat. But otherwise good. I felt sick though. My friend said, "You would get sick after eating fast food." I'm also known in my friend circles as the health nut. Haha. What are your favorite foods? I'm eager to eat my weight today. Haha.

J'est tombé amoureux...

As the summer countdown begins (2 more weeks!) I am getting even more and more anxious for Korea. If you know Korean culture, you know that Korean fangirls are extremely crazy over boy bands. They are not of the best music quality, but the entertainment industry knows how to pick the best looking ones. One of the biggest boy groups of the moment is 2pm, a 7 member group of JYP. My favorite out of them all is the half Thai and half Chinese yummy boy, Nichkhun. His huge baby eyes along with his lean, tall body made me fall in love. But the black and white turtleneck? Uh, no.

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!

High Time for High Tea

I really want a tea party at the moment. Like the Kate Spade ad pictured above, I want to taste all the pastries and stain my mouth with delicious tea. So I looked into wher I can have such fancifuls near me and I came up with Intrigue Cafe at the Boston Harbor Hotel, Swans Cafe at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel, and the Lounge at the Taj Hotel. All of them sound fabulous and I'll definately try them all. Reviews to come!

Happy Mother's Day!

This morning, my brother and I woke up at 6 to create a scrumptious breakfast for my mother. My mother is so often underappreciated- she does everything domestically and financially and always does it with a smile. I admire her so much and unlike many of my friends, my mother is my best friend in the entire world. To show my love, I made this heart shaped egg in a hole along with sliced apples and a dollop of yogurt. It was delicious! How did you celebrate Mother's Day?

Be My Slumdog Millionaire

Ever since I watched Slumdog Millionaire, my heart reserved a space for Dev Patel, who portrays the 18 year old Jamal Malik. In fact, I tracked down all the Skins episodes he was featured in just so that I can see him acting. I can not wait till I have Slumdog Millionaire DVD! :) (And to add to the fairytale ride that Slumdog Millionaire is on, Dev Patel and Frieda Pinto are dating! They are so adorable.)

C-O-M-C-A-S-T

I'm not the biggest fan of the beer commercials of Superbowl- in fact I'm not the biggest fan of commercials, period. But this Comcast commercial simply makes me smile with its witty lyrics and cute animations. The lyricists are genious! (It definately reminds me of Kimya Dawson.)

Model as Muse

The Met Ball this year definately was worse than last years, but it was wicked exciting to see all the models with the designers. My favorite duo was Vera Wang with Rachel Weisz. The gown Rachel has on is gorgeous with yellow tulle and lavender chiffon. And of course Vera is adorable as always. Sigh my dream is to attend the Met Ball. Only if dreams come true...

Ghost of LV Past

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?

Classic + Jazz + Groove = Clazziquai

Clazziquai, one of my favorite music groups of all time, is unique. The fusion of lovely voices, techno mixing, and smooth, relaxing tone make their music irresistable. One of my favorites, Sweety, is one of their earlier songs. It is incredibly cute & I definately like the English version better. (They are originally from Canada, but are in the Asian markets.) I mean, who doesn't like the uplifting lyrics, " I feel my heart with you, I can't stop dreaming about you"?

Gimme My Muji!

I am so sorry my dears for not blogging for two days! :x My deepest apologies. I simply had no time to invest in blogging! But now all my tests and projects are all done- tomorrow's the final day of school before spring break! Yay!

Now that all the school nonsense is done with, I got to sit down and just read magazines & blogs & drink tea. Yum. That's when I stumbled upon a little tibit that made me shiver with excitement: my favorite store to visit in New York City, Muji, has finally opened an online store! I am super excited for all the awesome pens and notebooks that await me. Ta ta for now, my lovelies!

P.S. On the note of new openings, OutNet, the "outlet" version of Net-a-Porter opened today! Not as exciting as I can't afford anything, but still worth the look!

Anyone Else But You

I discovered the most amazing photographs of couples by Max Wagner through a blog favorite, Birdy & Me. They are all whimsical & perfect & make me want to roll around the beach with a lollipop with my boyfriend. Sigh summer, come already!

Happy Easter Everyone!

As I type this, I see my neighbor's kids running around, on their hunt to find their precious eggs. I remember not so long ago, I was in the same position, my mind only filled with innocent matters. I wish I was still the same- looking for eggs with my friends at church, wearing the most perfect robin egg blue dress, laughing like I don't care. Well, for this year's Easter, I'm going to church in an hour, wearing a pastel blue mens' Uniqlo crewneck sweater, and my mind is still filled with such innocence. But it's tainted by worldly & "grown up" matters, making me me. But I'm excited like a child like always, and can't wait to live this wonderful day. The sun is shining and there is not a single cloud in the sky. I'm going to spend it with my dearest friends and family at church and studying for my bio test Tuesday. Bleh for the second part. Anyways, I have to ta ta for now- what are you guys doing for Easter?

Confessions of a Pack Rat

"really ginny, you needed a third birdcage? and how many amputated wooden
feet does one person need?!!!! we have five sewing machines and you don't
even like to sew!"

This quote, from My Favorite Color is Shiny, made me laugh so hard. I too am a pack rat and my room is a clear victim of my sentimentalism to junk. Anyways, a birdcage... Now that's what I need!
