Love her sense of style; she tens to mix styles which I admire.

Outfit 8 - Home Made Denim

2012-01-31T20:02:00.000-08:00

Finished all my assignments for the week early so I had some free time to make some home made high waisted denim shorts! My jeans were dying so I decided to experiment and chop them to make them useful since it's already heating up in Cali. I'm ready for the beach and leaving behind insecurities!

Back to Frames

Ever need a break from circle lens? Why not try some trendy glasses?!

Not that I don't love the enlargement and colors of wearing contacts, but I miss the feel of wearing eyeglasses. It gives you an image of maturity and sophistication ready for anything. I'm not so fond of wearing fake frames for the look, I actually need real glasses I can wear to work and school. However, it's a bit expensive to buy glasses in regular retail stores so I redirect your attention to the internet! GlassesUSA is the perfect site to get your hands on from a wide range of styles and colors. I've always been into wearing thick frames, not so much the skinny ones so I decided to grab a pair of thick black ones. Here is your chance to grab a pair of glasses at a special price!

an online retailer offers readers of hello,emy a special discount for glasses online!
All readers can:

Take 20% off any pair of eyeglasses and get FREE US shipping with the code: New2012

Take 10% off any order of prescription glasses. Code: Blog10

Hope you all enjoy this special promotion they're giving away, because sometimes we just need to get away from contact and wear glasses again whether it's for style or for work. I love how glasses are so universal.

Big thanks to GlassesUSA.com for this special promotion!

NEW Hair/Color by Salon Ziva and Hoyu Co.

2012-01-22T09:37:00.000-08:00

Basically I got a wonderful opportunity to work with Hoyu Company! Sun Lee is my hair stylist, she owns Hair Salon Ziva located in Torrance. She came up with some ideas on my hair cut and color and sketched it out for me. Basically it's a two way hairstyle, one more serious for work (my boss wasn't so fond of my previous dry blonde hair) while the other hair style can be more fashionable and colorful. I'm not sure why my hair looks black in pictures but it's actually a tone of red and purple in person.

The pictures are going to be featured in a korean magazine (so excited) here's a group picture right after the photoshoot!

It took about six hours for them to bring my dead dry bleached hair back to life then finally color it. It was suppose to turn out a dark brown but looks more black, none the less I still love it. A wonderful change that I needed. And complementary to help keep my hair alive right after.

Well aside from that, I posted the giveaway winner on my Facebook page! Congrats and thank you everyone for entering.

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday, I am off to work :)

"Shinny" Brown Lens

2012-01-19T23:38:00.000-08:00

Circle Lens Sponsored by: Shoppingholics

Shinny Brown (known as Puffy 3 tone Brown)

Lens Description

Origin: Korea

Diameter : 14.5mm

Water Content : 38%

Base Curve : 8.6mm

Life Span : 1 year disposal

Comfort 5/5

I had no problems applying these lens. I wore them for a whole work day (8 hours) no irritations what so ever. I'm really pleased with the comfort!

Color 4/5

Fierce and dramatic. I love it, however these aren't really lens I can off wearing to work. But if you're out with friends or the girls, they're perfect to draw attention in a good way. There's three colors fused in the lens, which really makes it difficult to resist staring into your eyes! Very lovely but not so natural.

Enlargement 5/5

I personally love the size of the lens. 14.5 is perfect for me and they're not too large like the 15.5 lens I see now of days. It's easy to wear and and I never have to worry about having huge bug eyes.

Overall 5/5

Amazing lens that I'll always keep! I love the vibrant somewhat natural colors within the rings of the lens. They really work with dark make up and perfect for adding some style in your eye makeup. I really recommend these!

Right now all customers can enjoy 15% Discount for Barbie Eye, EOS & Shinny/Puffy Contact Lens during 21st~29th January 2012!

Sparkling Sequin Trend

2012-01-08T22:02:00.000-08:00

Currently lusting over this trend! If I wasn't saving my money right now I'd go full out and buy these cuties right NOW. Sadly I'm going to be good and refrain from buying. Kimchi Blue never fails to come up with the cutest shoes/designs also!

My friend Eunice, however, did a lovely outfit post featuring Jeffrey Campbell's Gold Sequins♥

So stunning! I am forever lusting over shoes like hers. I love this, it's crazy and out of the ordinary yet it fits in perfectly with a simple outfit. Perfect for those who want that little something to stand out!

Outfit 7 - Too Young Too Innocent

Threw together this outfit before a work meeting. They said I looked really young so I guess the mint color gives off more of a baby innocent appeal. Starting my year off strong!

My day of leisure, spent a wonderful afternoon at the Botanic Garden!

Happy New Year!

After Christmas shopping! Snagged this really cute Free People crochet top!

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate everyone, my friends and readers, this year was very productive and I am so glad that it's finally done. Time to start the year off fresh and strong!

Playing with Glitter

2011-12-26T17:50:00.000-08:00

Products used: Dollywink Eyeshadow No.01, Loreal HIP Mystical 319, Loreal HIP Precious 819

Before 2011 ended I wanted to play with glitter with someone special, however the year is coming to an end so soon that I thought I'd pull out all the glitter I could find and make a complete mess of it. I just absolutely love the bokeh that glitter creates in pictures. It's so captivating and colorful in many different ways. Biggest mess ever, need to clean it up now.

Late Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope you all had a chance to spend it with your loved ones in a warm and comforting home. The year is coming to it's end and it's time for new resolutions.

My boss Reiko recently went to japan and brought me back some Dazzlin' goodies!

I love the whole retro thing still.

Anyone have special plans for the holidays?

I've got a date with a bunch of finals, projects, transfer apps, and no sleep.

Dollywink x Cream Eyeshadow

2011-11-19T20:59:00.001-08:00

This is a completely random review. Not sponsored, I bought it from work and since I've tried basically all the Dollywink products I thought I'd give this a try.

Dollywink Cream Eyeshadow: #01 Gold Nudy Glamorous

Geeze such a long name but basically I use this as a eye shadow primer as well as a light glitter base. I never knew it was a "cream" until I actually opened it I just thought it was some sort of shimmering glitter eye shadow.

These top two pictures I only have the eyeshadow cream on no make up yet. Honestly they stand out much more in person rather than pictures (might be due to my camera settings/lighting).

After, I actually used the Dollywink eyeshadow pallet in this. It still shows through the second layer of eyeshadow YAY!

Basically the purpose of this cream is to make more shiny and pure eyes (as said on the packaging. It's extremely natural and will appeal much more to those who are seeking the natural nudy look (and with the right nudy lens I'm sure they'll look great). It's a really gentle cream and should be applied with your finger tip, it wouldn't be so effective if you used a brush.

Overall I'd say this will be something I use on a daily basis, something simple to bring our your eyes but not in a crazy dramatic way. A bit pricey, I got it from work for about $15.98 but it seems like it'd last pretty long so it's a good investment that'll last long. Love it and there is another color too #002 Rainbow crystal!

Hope this helps, thanks for reading!

B&W - Outfit 5

2011-11-12T23:21:00.001-08:00

Coordinates: Top- ANAP, Shorts: Royal Party

I'm tired of the colors. Keeping it simple by making it old school. Recycled the top, but I feel that it really goes with high waisted shorts. I am dead on addicted to the whole "tuck in" trend with long tops so I'm sorry if it gets annoying LOL.

Anyways, I'm dying from stress. Seriously how do people manage their time so wisely?! I slack off one time and I end up bombarding myself with work and stress. I'm hoping to post more reviews on some of my favorite beauty products soon. I'm slacking on blogging I'm sorry! I appreciate everyone who still reads my blog so much!

NOPE I'm not cold wearing shorts. It's actually not that cold right now so I thought it was a chance to pull together this outfit. I have lots more outfit posts coming soon!

San Francisco Vacation

2011-11-07T07:59:00.000-08:00

This week I stayed in San Francisco with two of my cousins just for the hell of it, which was a really nice break from school and work. We spent a lot of time in Union Square/downtown areas because of all the shopping block to block.

I spent a lot of time taking random shots of the city (Not really easy to get pictures of myself).

Another day I got to spend it with two lovely ladies Ellie & Meilyne. We actually literally spent the entire day going out to places to eat and find desserts.

San Francisco is so much different from LA.

But now I'm back and I have so much school and work to do blah! How does everyone have so much time for everything? I've been feeling stressed out lately about practically everything.

On the bright side, it's FINALLY cold enough in LA to wear cute coats, scarfs, and boots. I'll talk more about that later. Hope everyone stays warm in this cold weather! ♥

Happy Halloween!

This weekend I got to attend TheBeautySocial hosted by Beautylish with my friend Mie! This was a whole day long event with tons of beauty sponsors and beautiful amazing people. And guess what?!
