{I have never ever dyed my hair before, but this fun chalk coloring idea is something I MUST try!! }

{I've been doing really well not posting as many food photos as usual. Because I love talking about food like none other and I could talk about eating food to a wall ... lol. So how could I resist posting this amazing fried pickle recipe from Spoon Fork Bacon?! I must try this asap! And I am by far no cook at all. }

{And the most talked about collection will make its debut on Sunday! Jason Wu for Target! I can't wait! Hopefully I can snag some cute skirts!}

And thanks for all the lovely comments, and kind words as always! I'll be making my blog rounds soon! <3 <3

Have an amazing weekend!! I hope you have a fun adventure, and some laughs!! :)

DC Adventures

noreply@blogger.com (thekellytang) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:07:00 +0000

I had a mini DC adventure yesterday and it was fabulous! :) My friends and I wandered from Eastern Market and ended up at the Natural History Museum! lol. It was a lot of walking but it was so gorgeous out. So I didn't mind at all. And yes this is an actual personal style post, and I'm excited to share it with you because I actually have more than one photo of this outfit. I'm working on taking better photos, any tips and etc would be amazing! :)

More photos behind the cut plus a Q&A!

How to Create a FB Landing Page

noreply@blogger.com (thekellytang) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:12:00 +0000

I updated my Facebook landing page a while ago. But I wanted to share a short tutorial on how to make and create a landing page for your own Facebook pages! :) A FB landing page is the first thing that new visitors to your page will see. Personally, I think its more professional and a bit more eye-catching than just showing your wall. Take a look at the tutorial behind the cut:

Insta-Diary #1

noreply@blogger.com (thekellytang) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:38:00 +0000

Welcome to my instagram diary! Its something new I've been wanting to do for a while. And hopefully it will become a weekly thing. I am SOO addicted to instagram, lol, I check it pretty much every morning, and then use it everyday to capture my daily life. Its so much easier than lugging around a giant camera. Anyways, enjoy! And if you have Instagram, you can find me @thekellytang

1. 2. Chinese New Year - homemade rice cakes and red envelopes! :)

3. Me with my completed painted owl cup. I love it!

4. Zoya Nail Polish 5. My adorable Marc Jacobs pouch.

6. 7. Me and my red vintage blazer from my mom.

8. Currently reading: how to have style by Isaac Mizrahi - so far its a great read, the first step is accepting and loving yourself!

9. Me wearing a necklace my dad and I bought at a young designer market way back when. 10. Selecting photos for my website! It was super time consuming.

11. My Betsey Johnson snake ring, I love wearing it, it makes me feel like a rockstar.

12. Actually accessorizing, haha, the black one with glass beads are handmade from Same Sky. 13. Lastly, I found a really old sweater with my photo printed on it, haha!

{From left to right, Me with Stephanie of Thrift and Style, Cortnie of Love, Cortnie, and Laurie of The Flossy Life }

My first ever CapFABB meetup and I'm so glad I went! It was a bit intimidating at first but I eventually got the hang of it, at least I hope so. LOL! It was really great laughing and talking about fashion and blogs. Its amazing how nice everyone was!

Also, I'm not sure what's up with my camera, but I swear I will learn how to use it and take better photos next time! :) I'm really trying to make a conscious effort of taking more photos and also, hopefully doing video and incorporating more of my own personal style into the blog. <3

Art Love: Riusuke Fukahori

noreply@blogger.com (thekellytang) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:31:00 +0000

At first glance, I was horrified thinking they poured resin over real fish. haha, but there actually all hand painted! They look so real, I feel like I can actually touch the water and the fish! To see his process of creating these masterpieces, I highly recommend watching the video above. Its always amazing watching art being created and finally coming full circle!

What do you think about Fukahori's artwork?

Random Thangs:

I'm blogging again, and I loves it! I haven't posted any art, or things that inspire me lately, and I'm going to incorporate more of these things into my blog. These artists and designers really inspire me to create, design and just live an amazing life doing the things I love. And I hope you all love reading about it! <3
Also, I've just recently re-discovered bloglovin, and its always been fabulous!! I don't know why I ever choose to use anything else.
Went to the CAPFABB meeting yesterday, and it was really nice meeting fellow DC bloggers!! :) If your in the DC, MD, VA area I totally suggest joining! :) A blog post on the meetup coming soon!

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!!!

Versace Haute Couture Spring 2012

noreply@blogger.com (thekellytang) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:59:00 +0000

It has been a long while since a fashion collection has left me giddy and wanting more. I am in love with Versace's Haute Couture Spring 2012 collection. I didn't really enjoy the H&M collection, and I thought it was a bit over-hyped. But this futuristic, femme fatale glam look is to die for! Not only that but wasn't lace going out of fashion? Versace seems to have revived it in a modern, and feminine way. And plus I have a strong weakness for cut outs, check out the yellow mini dress! Eep.. the fashion in 2012 is already looking up! :)

What do you think? Love it or Hate it? I'd love to hear your thoughts! <3

Obsessed: Heaven Tanudiredja

noreply@blogger.com (thekellytang) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:47:00 +0000

I am enthralled and enchanted by the jewelry designed by Heaven Tanudiredja! How gorgeous are these?! These necklaces take statement necklaces to the next level! I'm obsessed with spikes already, and I'm obsessed with geometric shapes, so these are absolute perfection! I wish there was more information on the website, so I could learn more about the designer, but they don't really have anything on their site.

PS I just found this blog: Searching for Style (which led me to Heaven) , probably the funniest, most helpful, and intelligent mixed with fashion blog that I've seen in a while. Do check her out, You'll love it! <3

Its Friday, I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!! <3

Pinky's Out: Royal Tea at the Ritz

noreply@blogger.com (thekellytang) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:57:00 +0000

{Enjoying our first cup of tea, and sandwiches}

{Celebrating Lily's Birthday with a Champagne toast to her and to new beginnings. I just noticed we're all wearing blue, lol, that was not intentional.}

{From start to almost finish, we saved the chocolate covered strawberries for last!}

Its been a while since I've posted an actual blog post, and had a fun little food adventure with some of my best friends. Lucky, I was able to spend some quality time celebrating my best friend, Lily's birthday, not only is she my best friend forevers, lol, but she's also my go to makeup artist! :) She's helped me with all my photo shoots thus far, and is part of my creative team, and she's the best! haha, We celebrated at afternoon tea at the Ritz Carlton and had a fun time eating crumpets (I've always wanted to say that and imagine in a British accent) and drinking some tea and champagne. I drank the white blend passion fruit, and selected the royal tea selection. It was delicious!! And don't be deceived at how small these little desserts and sandwiches were. We were stuffed by the end of the meal!

Thank you to all the amazing comment and support on my resolutions for the New Year! :) I'm glad that many of you are looking to make some big changes in 2012 as well! I hope everyone's week is going amazingly! <3

2012

noreply@blogger.com (thekellytang) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:04:00 +0000

"BRING IT ON 2012!!"<--- This is pretty much how I'm feeling about 2012. I just have a feeling that it's going to be a better year than 2011! :) Resolutions/dreams/goals, whatever you may call them, I'm making things happen this year! :)

Launching my new website and online shop.

Collaborate with local DC/MD/VA folks (I'm looking to collaborate with fellow bloggers, artists, photographers, and etc! Just shoot me an email: kelly@thekellytang.com)

Get my business organized, financially and structurally.

Using this blog as a way to keep me accountable. And being consistent with it.

Continue designing collections and creating new clothes, accessories and whatever else my little heart desires.

Get back into shape health wise, say hello to yoga.

Taking more photos, because a) I don't like lugging around my camera b) I can be camera shy. But I'm letting go of excuses and trying to document more of my life.

Be more grateful for the moment, and living in the present.

What are some of your plans/goals/dreams for the new year? I'd love to hear about them!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

noreply@blogger.com (thekellytang) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:02:00 +0000

How delicious is that macaroons Christmas tree by Pierre Herme!?! And how charming is that knit christmas tree courtesy of Stella McCartney?!? I couldn't just pick one of them!! I know I haven't been posting lately, but that's because I've been in Taiwan, planning projects, putting the pieces of my life together and really realizing what matters. Its as if the close of the year and the beginning of a new one really allows you to make some deep revelations. As we all begin another year, another chapter of our lives, comes a new revised list of resolutions, goals, and more things to do. All I can hope and pray for you, my readers, my supporters, and my friends, that all your wishes may come true, and that you dream big!!

Have an amazing Christmas and an even more amazing New Year!! :)

<3 Kelly

DC Fashion Week, S/S 2012: Kelly Tang

noreply@blogger.com (thekellytang) — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 19:20:00 +0000

So excited to present you with my spring summer 2012 collection. I launched my collection at the DC Fashion Week Kick Off Show at Perkins + Will.

Eep, I was really nervous to present my collection. Because truth be told, I was not going to do this show, until a good friend convinced me to. And I am so glad that I did! It was a wonderful experience, and I am working even harder to open my online shop now! I would like to launch my store in a few months but I don't know where my life will be taking me in these coming months. I am truly so blessed, and I'm so grateful for everyone who came out to support me, my family and my friends. :) I can't do this without you guys. <3

What do you think of the collection?

Mini Life Update:

I've been super busy. I've just started working at a new Madewell store that will be opening next week! And that has been a really great experience too. :) I'm also currently in the number one spot for the Styleta competition, if you haven't please continue to vote for me there, and spread the word! <3 Life is just amazing right now! And I feel that things are just getting better and better. :)

Making of the collection

noreply@blogger.com (thekellytang) — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 16:16:00 +0000

Wow, I've been crazy busy. I have been sewing for the past week, and getting my first collection together for DC fashion week. It was an amazing experience, and I'm truly grateful for everything I've learned throughout this whole process.

I have photos to come of the actual fashion show, which will be in a week or so. But for now, here are some photos of the making of the clothing!

I wish I had taken more pictures of the process behind the whole thing. But I was really on a time crunch!

I'm in love with this song right now!! Ah! :) Thank you for all the lovely comments, I am trying to get back to everyone today, including email and everything too!
