JC Penny April Blogger
Hello everyone! Sorry my blog has been down, apparently the bandwith has run out because so many of you amazing people have been visiting it! Haha, I’m not complaining but I’ll definitely try and fix it for this next month. The images should be up by tomorrow again =)
So a couple weeks ago JC Penny contacted me to ask if I wanted to be their April fashion blogger. I was supposed put...

Traffic Cone Orange
Felt sort of self conscious in this MINKPINK x Nasty Gal dress because of how BRIGHT it is but I love it to death and the interesting neckline was perfect to show off the necklace Matt got me =) Oh, and I got these new Messeca shoes… they are sort of big on me but I couldn’t return them so I put some insoles in them and I think they’re fitting better… still debating if I...

Birthday Suit for a Fancy Giraffe
I love birthdays! This morning my amazing boyfriend woke up early just to surprise me with breakfast! Then after work we had dinner at my favorite place that has the most delicious food & churros! If you’re in Los Angeles, I’d check it out—it’s called “Churros Calientes” YUMMY! Finally ended the night with a good ole horror film, Cabin in the Woods! Who has...

One Nation Under God
I’m really excited about the UNIF sweater I’m wearing today. I’ve been seeing it everywhere and was debating whether I should get it since it’s pretty pricey (at least for me). I finally found it on a site called I Don’t Like Mondays that sold it for about $10 cheaper than everywhere else! I love that it combines two of my favorite trending things right now, American...

Low Down
The weather is so flip floppy in Los Angeles during Spring. Was a pretty gloomy day all day and it’s expected to rain tomorrow! Today I wore a pretty casual outfit, sportin’ my favorite gothic lipstick from NARS. I got this slouchy dress on sale I think two years ago… still one of my favorites. You rarely see the low waistline nowadays… reminiscent of the good ole flapper...

Lavender Love
I’ve always been pretty disappointed how difficult and costly it is to get my hair a different color. Asian hair takes something like 6 bleaches to get it light enough to dye any color effectively… and I’ve been wanting lavender-gray hair so much lately! Still thinking about maybe just bleaching half my hair so I don’t have to worry about my roots… Anyways, so I used...

Bandaged
I always feel a little self conscious when I’m wearing such bright clothes… but that doesn’t prevent me from wearing them! haha. I should’ve taken a picture of the back of this awesome new blue bustier I got from Nasty Gal, it’s got a cool cutout pattern! And I couldn’t resist getting this bandage skirt, I had to at least get one since they’re everywhere...

They Call me (un)Mellow Yellow
Ever since I decided not to care about how tall I was in heels, I’ve become more of a shoe addict (oh no!) These are my latest additions, some bright red Jeffrey Campbell heels! They’re slightly harder to walk in than the Litas but totally worth it! And what’s better to pair with my bright red shoes than a bright yellow dress?! Usually I wear this dress without a belt (I love the...

Shar Truce
Loving this new skirt I got last week! It’s a chartreuse color… chartreuse seems to be becoming more and more popular this season. Colors, colors, colors! Both pastels and neons… I love it! I’m also wearing two necklaces: my usual favorite House of Harlow necklace plus a new yellow/pink/gold weave necklace I got at a shop in Little Tokyo called Number A. What a gem of a...

Light Bright
Wow, it’s been a heck of a week! It was my 2 year anniversary with my amazing boyfriend Matt AND I got to help out on a Vogue photoshoot because of my awesome friend Gustavo! I don’t think that I’m allowed to say much about it but it was definitely a great experience and I was in fashion heaven! I wanted all the clothes that were there O__O! Can’t wait to see the final...

Paint it Black
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, whether you celebrate Easter or not! It was my amazing-stupendous-handsome boyfriend’s birthday this weekend (he takes the pictures for this blog!) so we celebrated by going to the Aquarium of the Pacific. It was so wonderful! I’d forgotten how AMAZING some tropic fish are and how CUTE sea otters are!! It was also my amazing-stupendous-beautiful...

Made in the U.S.A.
I’m all decked out in American Apparel today. It’s funny because my closet is overcome with it since I donated a bunch of my clothes before I moved last Fall and then bought a bunch of AA…so you may realize I own a lot of it, haha! Lately I’ve been feeling more self-conscious about where my clothes are made. I’ve been realizing that even big ‘fancy’ brands...

Spring Fling
I used to wear pastels so often, but pastel items were nearly impossible to find! Most of my wardrobe was from shopping in Japan! But this Spring, pastels are EVERYWHERE and I’m loving it! I’m definitely having a spring fling with pastels and bright colors! I kind of went crazy with this outfit but wild gets you noticed, right? ;) I really need to get some lighter colored shoes though,...

Spotty Dottie
Whoa, late blog post tonight! But it has to be done! =) I wonder if anyone is still awake checking my blog… hehe
So today’s outfit includes this AMAZING skirt I got from ASOS! I was so excited to receive it and have been getting compliments on it all day! Some lady at the grocery store even yelled across the aisle at me and stalked me a bit… creepy but a good thing? haha. So...

Rosie the Riveter
Every time I wear this bandana around my head I feel like Rosie the Riveter, and usually I get a comment about it too. I love bandanas, and you can find them for super cheap at Target like I did! Red + White + Blue is always a great combo but sometimes I don’t know what other color to pair it with, do you think this yellow cardigan works? I think it transforms the outfit from U.S.A. themed...

No Shame in the Nude
Nude is one of my favorite colors because it matches basically everything! But because of this, I have a problem owning a little too many nude items… so sometimes I just wear them all together! Going all-nude isn’t quite as easy as it seems though, I’ve realized there are grayer nudes and yellower nudes so mismatch wisely!
Knit Sweater from Urban Outfitters / Nude...

Checkered Fool
Happy April Fool’s Day! Did anyone prank or get pranked?! My mom used to tell me my long lost best friend called me every April Fool’s Day and I would get SO excited! It was a cruel joke =(
Sorry for being M.I.A. yesterday, I totally couldn’t catch daylight for my outfit photo! Disappointing. Today’s outfit is pretty fun though. I love these funky checkered leggings I got...
