Rollercoaster

2011-05-04T09:56:00.000-07:00

The next few months will be "the calm" before "the storm" as I take a break from the real world and enjoy some personal time before I head back to school. I'm hoping grad school will finally help me get into the industry I've always dreamed of. From what I hear it will be a roller coaster ride and another 2 years of self evaluation. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.

More personal time hopefully means more inspiration and more posts!

The next chapter

I've come to realize that maintaining a fashion blog is a bit too difficult. Lookbooks are not my thing because I simply don't have the energy to look pretty everyday and have someone follow me around with a camera...so I've transferred my energy to my new food blog. I'll be back with fashion inspirations but for now you can expect more posts there!

Five things this summer

2011-03-11T15:51:00.001-08:00

1. Learn how to use my DSLR properly
2. Travel travel travel (Asia, Europe, etc.)
3. Yoga for the soul
4. Get an Ipad2 to get with the times and read

*note to self: refocus on fashion. hoping the fashion-esque pictures will do for now.

Forward Looking

The last few months have been a roller coaster of emotions filled with self doubt. Now I'm just playing the waiting game. 3 weeks and counting...

The fall freeze has officially kicked in. In San Francisco, we're carefully deciding where to make our next fashion investment.. Rain boots we can weather the storm in? Or a pair of chic booties we can strut around town in?

I've recently been re-inspired to once again self-publish online. With the new inspiration comes a new name, and you're thinking a new name must signify changes to the blog right?? At least that what i'm hoping for! In the coming days, weeks, and months... I'm hoping I will have the courage to share some (even 1 or 2) outfit posts.

faux fur galore

2010-10-25T17:55:00.000-07:00

it's literally everywhere i go these days. on the streets, online, on tv, at old navy, bloomies..(you get it). these trends come and go so quickly - in a cycle that is unbelievable. just when I was about to put away my faux fur jacket, wa lah it is TRENDY again. oh how i love fashion. much like the saturated graphic design industry, the fashion industry seems to have exhausted all of its creative juice. Nevertheless, amazing looks still manage to make its way to the front pages and into my favorites folder. Here are a two of my favorites..

Rebecca Taylor Love

2010-10-23T17:18:00.000-07:00

I've always been able to spot a Rebecca Taylor piece from a mile away. Her delicate fabrics, flowy fit and intricate patterns are her signature. I'm in love with all of her pieces but can never justify spending $200+ for a blouse that I'll only wear a couple of times. I'm a Zara type of girl and occasionally when I splurge an Aqua kind of girl if you know what I mean. Luckily I spotted a beautiful blouse at my local Rack which prompted me to revive my blog.. I may be going back to pick it up. (no shame in that right?)

Here are my favorites from this season:

dream on.

YSL Magic - LOVE

2010-08-17T10:31:00.000-07:00

Ninny: Shortened version of nincompoop, a silly, idiotic person. can be used affectionately.

similar look from madewell (picture via madewell.com). absolutely am in love with slouchy 'boy' blouses, paired with skinny jeans/slouchyish skinny slacks/tight skirts. ready to add more to my collection to complete my neutral palette. oh, and check out those sexy glasses.

hello people 501 is BACK! for now. what does it take to resurrect a brand that has become irrelevant over the years? perhaps a partnership with the luxe club monaco. we'll see where this takes them...
