A Bug in the Flowers

It's been such a while since I've been in the blogging block. My last outfit post, if you could really count it as a significant one, was a fluke in which I was able to find a photo of Coachella that actually had an outfit on it. (One outfit out of a three day fest?! Horrible horrible me!) About two weeks ago, I got together with an old high school friend of mine for a nice little Closetbug photoshoot, featuring yours truly as well as some clothes I plan on selling off some time soon.

It was situated in the Long Beach Nature Center, which was so much more than what I had expected. Everything was so lovely and fresh, even if we were stuck on a trail and weren't really allowed to wander all that much. It was hilarious to jam some random music while quickly and discreetly changing in between branches and bushes.

Definitely something I plan on doing again. I also received a new camera just yesterday, so that should be amazing to play around with. It's a Sony Cybershot H55, which is a more advanced point and shoot camera. I'm so thrilled to try it out, and I honestly feel like this calls for another photoshoot of some sort.

Here's hoping for a refreshed new blogging career!

Spring Dreaming

It's been forever since I've updated and needless to say I've been going through withdrawls from the lack of blogging. (What happens? Life simply creeps up on me and surprises me with multiple activities!) Things have been going well, although with my camera on the fritz since Coachella weekend it's been difficult to take photos of my spring wardrobe. However despite those setbacks, I've got a pleasant surprise for my blog and my readers in an upcoming blogpost that I hope you all will enjoy.

Until then, I present to you a "spring dreaming" feature.


A DIY tutorial on the Martha Stewart site on how to make these lovely hanging paper flowers from paper bags. Given the right colors and cut, I can imagine a real shower of gorgeous flowers dangling from the ceiling of my room.

I hope you all are doing well. ♥

Coachellie Weekend

Sorry I've been so absent as of late! My camera has been making it a hassle to consistently document my outfits, and school+spring break has been a rush of activities. (Georgia, I must mention, was magical! Shopping was fantastic there, and did I mention the 7% sales tax??? Yes please!)

This past weekend was Coachella, and I got to attend all 3 days of music and fun. Although no photos were taken, there was such an amazing crowd of fashionistas just out to have fun and relax in the sun. It was like being in heaven!


My outfit for the first day. So very comfortable and form-free.


Sleigh Bells


Zooey Deschanel for She & Him! She was such a doll.


Vampire Weekend put on one of the best shows in the weekend.


Alexander of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.

There were so many more that I was lucky enough to see such as Muse, Gorillaz, The Temper Trap, The xx, Hot Chip, Yann Tiersen, Julian Casablancas, Grizzly Bear, and many more!

Overall, a pleasing weekend indeed.

Relaxing in Georgia,
checking out the antiques and the history and the vintage clothes.

Mon Feb 22 - You've Really Got a Hold On Me

My new fur just arrived. FAUX fur, anyways. I'm so pleased with it, it goes with almost everything and it's amazingly soft to the touch. Quite the $20 ebay investment, if I do say so myself. :)

In my last post I told myself I would wear more color. After a small venture through H&M, I emerged with this red red dress (which I opted for over an exact navy one due to my dedication to more color) and I'm enamored by it. I have to admit, I was influenced a bit by Erin Fetherston's Fall 2009 red palettes.



Ah, absolutely lovely. In case you haven't noticed, she's absolutely my most beloved designer!
