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. ^^

Experimenting in Erin

I just got Adobe Photoshop today. I'm stumbling on the baby steps in order to use Photoshop more efficiently and fluently. It's hard! I've been reading listless tutorials, experimenting with all the tools, and wasting studying time thoroughly for approximately 3 hours. It's awesome! But for my first project, I endeavored to make a collage of Erin Fetherston. It turned out okay, but could use a lot of improvement. I adore Erin Fetherston for her whimsical designs and her intelligence and how she is simply best friends with all my idols- including Zooey Deschanel. Hopefully I'll be able to save up the dough for one her frothy dresses.

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!

Ka-BLOOM Les Fleurs!

I've been wanting to put a vase of fresh flowers in my room for a long time now, but they are very unpractical for me. Firstly, I'm broke, so I can't afford the beautiful bouquets and they are so temporary that my cheapo self can not bring myself to buy $40 flowers that'll last me a week. But I'm determined to change myself this summer. The months that I'm home, I'm going to collect wildflowers from the forest beyond my backyard and collect them in a beautiful vase. Hopefully I don't have severe allergies... Haha

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...

La princesse est allée mal

I always fall behind looking through collections when fashion week comes around, so I usually rely on blogs or magazines to get my fashion week fix. But with less collections in the pre-fall, I decided to check it out. As a fan of all things Lanvin, I absolutely adored Alber Elbaz's latest collection. Definately rich girl gone wild, it was a perfect mix of tulle, pearls, and a streak of black eyeliner. If only I can afford those jumbo pearls...

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.

Polka Dotted Perfection

I'm a huge stationary nerd. I love collecting all sorts of pens, pencils, notebooks, etc. I mean, I'm already thinking about back to school shopping for next year! Today, I went shopping at the outlets and whilst I was there, I went to the Kate Spade store, which I found the most incredible pencil case. Well, it's intended to be a cosmetics case, but no matter. It's on sale online for only $32, and it will be mine!

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!

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...

Put Your Records On

I've been craving a record player for a while now- perhaps urged by my parents' extensive vinyl collection or How to Impress a Hipster's post on vinyls -but never found the perfect one. My parents own a sleek, black one, but it's way to modern for my taste. So I have set my eyes on this beauty- perfectly retro with a burst of color, it's made for me. Now that I have found my perfect player, now it's time to hunt for the perfect vinyls to go with it! :) (This Brooke Waggoner Heal for the Honey vinyl would be a good start!)

Sandal Madness

As mentioned in the post before, summer is rapidly approaching! And summer means heat, and heat means sandals time. Every summer, I usually have one pair that I wear every single day until end of August, which then promptly falls apart. It's not like I buy bad quality perse but I just abuse them. So right now, I'm on the hunt for the perfect sandals for summer 2009. I instantly fell in love with these ruffled Christian Louboutin for 3.1 Phillip Lim sandals when they came out the runway, but alas, these are probably in the $500 range and I am not made out of money. I've been looking for some alternatives, such as this Steve Madden ones or this J. Crew pair. Both are around the $80 range, which is a bit of a reach, but we'll see. Do you lovelies have any suggestions?

The Music Conundrum Part II

Credit : iRiver

So yes, I still haven't gotten a mp3 player. And yes, I was one second away from getting the new iPod shuffle. And yes, I thought I probably lose it and the controls were frustrating. But now I have a new love. The iRiver LPlayer. It's tiny, it's touch screen, and best of all, it comes in WHITE. The most frustrating thing about the American technology market is that everything is in black or silver. Nothing's in black. Perhaps it's because the market is dominated by geeks. Eh maybe. So yes, this music machinery is a bargain at $100 a pop- now, a clear case or a pink one...?

Givin' Me a Boost

At 5'5" I'm not the shortest of the crowd. But, I constantly feel envy of glamazons' mile-long legs. I have a ridiculously long torso and stumpy, short legs. So constantly I am looking for a way to make my legs a wee bit longer. But the thing is, I detest heels. I'm a comfort girl- & most heels are definately not comfy. But when wedges became back in fashion couple years ago, I was turning a bit optimistic. Wedges had the best of both worlds- they were comfy and gave me some height. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find affordable, yet not cheap looking wedges that were right for me. But voila, I found my perfect pair- these Lela Rose for Payless Caruth check wedge. With a delicious check print on the wedge, these were meant to be on my feet. Now how to order these beauties...

I Woud Like a Cooper, Please!

I had my first driver's ed class today. It sucked. A lot. I took it at a local auto school and the class was filled with kids who did not want to be there. I mean, what kind of 16-17 year old wants to take driver's ed 8 in the morning during spring break? Uh no kid I know of. But our teacher was pretty relaxed, understanding our frustration and drowsiness. But driver's ed got me thinking... What kind of car do I want to drive?


The obvious answer was a Mini Cooper- the single handedly favorite car EVER! Not only is it perfectly retro, it is earth friendly too with its newest version, Cooper S. Too bad I'm not going to get a car till forever. Boohoo :(

"Prom is just once in a lifetime!"

At my school, everyone's excited about prom. I would be if I was a junior or a senior (juniors or seniors can't bring underclassmen to prom. boohoo.) but alas, I am not. But, my boyfriend is a senior at another school & he's willing to bring me- except I have no dress. My dream prom dress is from Betsey Johnson- short, poufy, and perfected with a bow. I found my perfect one (pictured above) but I am not willing to splurge $350 just yet. Eh if only I could.

Jumping Around in My Leotard

After seeing Factory Girl, I had the urge to dress like Edie. Her leotards with leggings or huge fur coat all seemed perfect to me. And a cigarette on my fingers and drink with the other hand... Voila, perfect.

Sandwiches, apples, chips...

Almost all my friends pack lunch due to the limited and sometimes gross cafetaria lunches. However, due to my busy parents, I rarely can. Also I'm not a big fan of the brown bag lunch. Too many memories of the oil stained, leaking bags hinder me from using them. I've been on the hunt to find the perfect lunch bag, and my search was finished when at last, I found the Fifi Lapin for LeSportsac Lunch Date Sac. In the new, Korean drama phenomenon, Boys over Flowers, the main character, Jandi, was carrying this. Every since I saw it, I lusted for the cute, square shaped bag with the most adorable Fifi Lapin print. My favorite out of the three prints offered is Dress Up, but currently it's sold out. Boo hoo. :( I guess my lunch bag of my dreams will have to wait.

Charming Tiffany

Credit : Tiffany's & Co

Ever since I visited the grand Tiffanys & Co store on Fifth Avenue in New York City, I have been enchanted by the jewler's goods. So naturally, I always imagined of having a Tiffany's engagement ring. Although that time may be a far away, images of a heart shaped diamond ring haunt my dreams relentlessly. I know its cheesy and childish to want a heart shaped ring, but I guess in heart, I'm still a cheesy, cliche loving little girl. Anyways, it's a lot more interesting than a boring princess cut.

Other than engagement rings, Tiffany's is littered with dazzling necklaces and bracelets that are far more entrancing than those boring Tiffany's charm bracelets and necklaces that every single girl in my school (besides me) wears. One of my favorites is the bow pendant. It's simple yet adorable- just my style. Now please excuse me, I must continue looking at 18.44 carot, 6 million dollar rings.

Raveling Gardens Trapped in Glass

When I first saw the glass terrariums in Penelope, one of my favorite movies of all time, I envied and wished I had some. However, it is highly unrealistic for me to have glass houses with plants around my room- most likely I will cut my foot and the beautiful terrariums will be broken to pieces. But recently, I've stumbled upon some beautiful pictures of terrariums and even instructions on how to assemble my own terrarium (here's another really good one). My thirst for these beautiful pieces have yet returned and I have begun to dream of my future house/apartment...
