Remember 2009

2010-01-08T21:03:00.000-08:00

Hello!

So, I know I disappeared for quite a while and I must apologize. I, hopefully, will try to post more often.

I usually will post more on tumblr too: http://papercostumes.tumblr.com/

A few of my favorite fashion photos of 2009 - some street style, abbey lee, and alexander wang braids :)

Baby, don't worry about it

2009-07-16T23:32:00.000-07:00

I truly must apologize for my lack of posts. I've just been so busy and will continue to be until August. It's just a jampacked month full of goodbye parties, birthdays, gymnastics, school, and orientation.

I found these rings to be absolutely stunning

and this pyramid necklace watch

While in Sydney I tried on the most gorgeous Sass and Bide dress, but they were all too large. Of course I can't find it anywhere now. :(

I think I'll get these earrings I saw at Broken English

2009-06-22T21:31:00.000-07:00

I'm back from Sydney! I had such a wonderful time! I wish I could name all the gorgeous sites I saw and all the fantastic places I shopped and ate at. :)

A few photos:

I know your face like the back of my hands

2009-06-11T21:07:00.000-07:00

Well, I ordered the first pair of shorts from a few posts ago and they arrived yesterday. They really are adorable, but I have to send them back for an xsmall because I'm kind of swimming in them. Oak ran out of the indigo acid shorts and they aren't reordering any :(.

My Alexander Wang racerback tee came yesterday, it's so perfectly slouched and comfortable, although it's a bit shorter than I wanted it to be.

I want to DIY the headpiece on the right.

Five things about myself (the facts):
1. I'm in 12th grade.
2. I'm a level 10 gymnast.
3. I'm such a city girl.
4. I'm asian and 5'6.
5. I'm always sore.

Fourth photo in my file folder:
lookbook

Six things that make me happy:
1. Homemade cards and handwritten letters.
2. Fruit. Any fruit. Especially fresh fruit salad.
3. Bread, homebaked bread, including the smell.
4. The smell of my freezer.
5. My collection of books and magazines.
6. My two silly puppies.

Ten honest things about myself:
1. I have many a bruises everywhere. I'm clumsy.
2. I have way too many photos saved to my desktop, mostly editorials and fashion related.
3. I l read my magazines intensely and over and over again.
4. I loved and still love playing dress up.
5. I occasionally stand up and just start dancing.
6. I'm more of a summer kind of person, although I do love bundling up in the cold.
7. I still haven't gotten my canon rebel fixed.
8. I love little kid sets, like those project runway sketch books and design sets.
9. I read way too many blogs and watch way to many tv shows (Gossip girl, Skins, Grey's Anatomy...)
10. I check my facebook way too often.

So, I'm really not that interesting.

2009-01-15T16:12:00.000-08:00

Well it's eighty degrees in the middle of winter, but I'm enjoying it.

I want it all (T by Alexander Wang):

Funny thing is, I was actually trying to find a shirt like this, ended up buying a grey Kain one, but these look far superior!

Anybody know where I can get these boots?!

Sale days and sunny days

2009-01-09T13:39:00.000-08:00

The January sale days are starting and I've already purchased a few items.
I feel in love instantly with a pink opium Aridza Bross black messenger bag; since I couldn't find any photos of it (except for a tiny tiny one), I'll have to take some myself.

I also bought a Tracey Tanner wallet (mine is silver though)

I've been lusting after her beautiful bracelets, but haven't bought any quite yet

And today I bought a Mike and Chris jacket from Ron Herman

My project is to write a report on and create a lookbook for a designer and a retailer, so I've decided Alexander McQueen and American Apparel. Or perhaps Lanvin (Well, Alber Elbaz).

I've been feeling a little sick lately, but my symptoms keep changing; it's quite strange.

I hope everyone else is well though.

We're going to celebrate

2009-01-07T13:23:00.000-08:00

I've decided what I really need are shoes.

I have a fashion project on a fashion designer and retailer.
I have a few in mind, but I cannot seem to make up my mind.

Who are your favorites?

But girl you look so pretty

2008-12-26T08:50:00.000-08:00

I must apologize for my absence!
How have your holidays been?

I went to Creatures of Comfort a few days ago; I truly want everything in that store. I only ended up going home with a grey Kain shirt though.
This bag is love at first sight.

3. Lastly, bought the new "Eat: Los Angeles" and "Eat. Shop, NYC"

I have many photographers I like, but currently I'm craving the dream-like state photos and both, Lina Scheynius and Aneta Bartos capture that.

Aneta Bartos - quite a few of her photos are in Nylon

Lina Scheynius

Yes, it's an excessive amount of photos, but trust me, there were plenty more
