Band-Aid

This song is on repeat on my mp3! It's from 4 Minute's new album and this song is called "Invitation". It sounds really good when you turn up your speakers.


The most perfect clear traveling/makeup/liquid holder bag - Ferragamo


Melanie's Convocation today~ chukahae chingu-ya~!!
(Finally wore one of my many dresses from Korea)
And me - even though I didn't grad from UBC, I'm not going to my convocation on June 18th so this will have to do, I guess.
I want something like this dress~ I forgot which site this picture is from...


Nice ring....
I'm looking for gold, mirrored nesting bedside tables!!!
Neat focal headboard
Love this dress.. is this Thandie Newton? She always has such great style.
Nice~
Sex and the City 2 was pretty bad plot-wise and the ending seemed like a rush of fillers/unbelievable series of events, but loved the places they visited and soaking in all the style. Some laugh-able parts.


It's been really busy around here. Treasuring the time I have at home doing my own thing. In June, I'll be working more and I have a lot of occasions to celebrate (friends+mom's+gpa's bday, father's day etc) and darn I still need to get my L and start Young Drivers among many other things.. AH I only have 26 days to put my room together! Mattress shopping soon~ I'm loving nail bolt accents.

Gaga Sipping Tea in a Car. Nice Shirt.

I really like this picture. She looks like a posh (and somewhat frail) grandmother with flawless skin and no wrinkles... yet we know that she's really only 24. And, I mean, using bone china while in a car? Funny!
Love the print screen function on macs! One step process that automatically saves onto your desktop.  It doesn't require me cutting, copying, and pasting onto Microsoft Paint which loses the image quality!

Just From Holts' Website

Fall 2010 Women's Ready-to-Wear Runway Report
The Fall 2010 runways showed a stripped-down maturity in New York, Milan and Paris. Customers continue to look for quality clothing and designers delivered it to them with newness in longer hemlines, mixes of textures, fabrics and techniques. Structure, architectural design and details were the hallmark of this season.
Coats were a standout from redingotes, reefers & masculine toppers to fur-trimmed parkas. Look for fur accents, beautifully sculpted knits, colour highlights of camel and crimson, poetic + romantic styles, androgynously tailored pieces and those with military influences in store this Fall!
Key Designers
New York: Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, The Row, rag + bone

Milan: Fendi, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Missoni, Marni

Paris: Dries Van Noten, Haider Ackermann, Celine, Givenchy, Balmain, Lanvin
What You'll Want to Wear This Fall
The Reefer,
The Cigarette Pant or Legging, looking very new with a print, The Sweater Dress,
The Knitted or Fur Loop Ring Scarf,
The Stash Bag, and
The Pointed Toe Pump
Key Trends
Iconic Dressing: as seen on the Celine runway
Crimson All Over: a lady in red from day-to-night as seen on the
Dolce & Gabbana runway
Marching Order: military influence, brass buttons, epaulettes, buckles, metal hardwear and utility function as seen on the Marc by Marc Jacobs runway
Wild Thing: fur, fur and more fur! On sleeveless vests, coats, trims & linings, hats, bags, mitts and shoes as seen on the Michael Kors runway
Knit Picking: various gages of knits for sweaters, dresses and outerwear. Knitted accessories include hair bands, scarves, bags, gloves and tights as seen on the Stella McCartney runway

I'm excited for Fall! I'd love to get a fur collar parka (not a fur- trimmed hood).

The Importance of Word Choice...

From Asos... at first, I thought this was a neat dress. I really liked the sheer draping and the overall shape... but, reading that it is "mosquito net inspired" totally ruined the awe of the dress for the next few moments! I still love the overlay, though. I'm currently looking for a one-shoulder dress.

This Made My Day


emerald, my little cousin... she's 7 (i'm pretty sure...), and her family (my auntie sandy, uncle ken, and triton) came over for dinner at my house except I had to work. you might remember how the kids had a blast last time they came over, cross dressing in my closet and i put makeup and did emerald's hair and then they posed and did a fashion show-type event downstairs to show all the aunties and uncles haha.. anyway, so emerald was super excited to come over and was wondering out loud in the car on the way over what sort of makeup and hair I was going to do on her - if it was going to be down or up, in two buns again, maybe 4 this time and was telling her mom that she'll be spending all the time in my room that night so her mom didn't need to check on her.
can you imagine the heartbreak when she found out i wasn't going to be there! my mom said she needed a big hug from her mom haha awww

and then my aunt told my mom that emerald told her teacher "i'm going to save lots of money so i will go to university just like my cousin natasha!"
emerald has been asking me to take her on trips (like when i was going to korea) and her mom has been telling her that she needs to go to university and then she can make money and go on trips. good plan.

love that girl.

Miss My Digi

A couple of super low quality cell phone pics from the photoshoot on Tues. It featured full body painting + airbrushing and they were going for a watercolour + alexander mcqueen + photo-negative look. The actual pictures turned out amazingly - I can't wait to see them!

oh hello.

feels like forever since i've posted something on here! the weather has been great all week, i'm done with my undergrad completely, and i've started some part-time work starting up the fashion/makeup blog (it's going to be up soon! haha i keep on saying that) and now some marketing-related work which will involve me learning lots of new skills (so excited!). i've been exercising here and there, i've been hanging out with my friends,  i'm going to get my L soon and start the young drivers program and i am going to start planning my room soon so that will also be challengingly fun (my room is kind of oddly-shaped). so yea - that's pretty much a condensed update on what has been happening here. oh and i am probably going to leave my current restaurant job and look for another one soon. i'm wondering if i should see what my schedule would be like for june or if i should try to find another serving job for fun. i'm thinking for banquets or for a hotel. oh yea and i'm currently watching the korean drama, iris. i've watched the first 6 episodes of personal taste (with the lovely lee min ho in it), but the characters are so annoying i can hardly bear to watch another episode even though lee min ho is such great eyecandy even if he doesn't smile that much. on my spare time, i want to continue to improve my korean and learn how to cook different things.. and maybe even get into sewing. and small diy projects  of course, i going to start saving for trips. 
life is great - there's so much to do now that i have time ^^


anyway, i didn't really think of writing an update when i felt like posting - i just wanted to show you this amazing blazer that i am so sad was sold out in all sizes on ruelala. it's by whitney eve (which, i think is designed by whitney port from the hills.. oh yea - i just found out that her middle name is "eve". makes sense now). out of hautelook, giltgroupe, and ruelala, i browse ruelala the least.. maybe once every six months and i just happened to look today and now i'm so disappointed i did because i know i can't have this blazer!
it would have been the perfect addition to my wardrobe for both day and night.. something i could see myself not being able to live without (yes, drama queen cue commences). love the length of the sleeves (so flattering and spring/summer-like), and the gold collar (along with the metallic threads) project the perfect amount of "sparkle" i love and it is what makes the jacket fun and not so business-like. plus, the length! it can act as both a dress and just a regular boyfriend blazer! aaaaah
i'm pretty impressed with whitney port's designs - 10x better than lauren conrads', that's for sure. unfortch, looks like a lot of the nice ones are sold out/unavailable.


craving something sequined!!
