Spring Preview Fashion Sneak Peek

Happy Saturday! :D

I initially planned to do this post when Spring started, but I was sick and got busy, and you know the rest... ;)

Spring means a whole different wardrobe from Winter. I need to start taking out my Spring clothes sometime soon. Have you started taking out and adding onto your Spring wardrobe?

If you already did or still have to do so, here are 6 Spring trends to try, and 1 tricky trend to think about:

1. Classic YSL - emphatic color, elegantly cut jackets, and full shapes

I loooooooove bright colors! During the Winter, I do tend to dress more in neutral colors, but I always make sure to add a pop of color - like a bright colored scarf, shoes, beret, or bag. :D

2. Trousers - the high-waisted pants

These look fantastic! I love the look of high-waisted pants. I'm not too sure if I can pull it off, though.

Do you guys have tips for petite girls who want to wear these? Would using high heels do the trick?

3. Wedges - strappy, sporty, colorful, etc.

When I was younger, I had such a hard time wearing wedges. But now that I try to use pumps and high heels more, I appreciate wedges. They give me height, while still being comfortable.

I think these would look great paired with shorts - they would really elongate your legs. :)

4. Fringe - ivory-tasseled jackets, suede-trimmed shawls, fringed vests, pants, and gowns

This is one trend I've never tried. I think it's time I get some fringed items for my closet. :)

5. Exotic Florals - dresses, shorts, skirts, shoes...

I loooooove florals! I have quite a few floral dresses in my closet, so that's good. :)

I want some floral skirts and shoes, though.

6. Long and Loose - relaxed silhouettes

Another look I love, but not sure if my petite frame can pull off.

Any tips?

Tricky trend: Studded Biker Jackets

I don't have one because I don't think it goes with my personality. But when worn with the right pieces, I think it would look good. Do you have a studded biker jacket?

What do you think of this season's trends? Are you already sporting any of them?

I hope all of you are having a fantastic weekend! :D

Rainy Sunday...

Hi, everyone!

How is your weekend going?

We are having a rainy Sunday here in L.A. It's raining really, really hard --- there's a mini flood by our front steps, and the flowers the gardeners just planted were all washed away by the rain. :/

Another thing the weather isn't helping is me --- my colds and mild fever have escalated into full-on fever and coughing! :/

By the way, thank you so much for your comments on my last post! And I am following the advice you gave me about how to fight this colds/cough/fever. :)

Good thing it's Harry Potter Weekend on ABC Family, haha! ;)

I also made a Polyvore on what I wore to school this past Thursday.

Did you guys wear green on St. Patty's Day?

I wasn't feeling well, so I went for something comfy. :)

I should get back to bed and rest a bit more. I can't wait to be all better again so I can spend more time here on Blogger. I've missed so many days now! :/

Thanks for stopping by! Have a healthy week! :D

Polyvore: New Year's Outfit :D

Hello, everyone! :D

How was your Christmas celebration?

I went to Christmas Eve Mass with my family. Then we ate at midnight (we had beef roast and tons of other yummy food), we opened our gifts, and ate some more. Haha. It was a good Christmas. :D

This is the last week of 2010, it's such a crazy thought!

I've been trying to think of what I am going to wear for New Year's... and putting together outfits is a little bit more fun on Polyvore than in real life. Haha. ;)

Here are two outfits I put together:

I loooooove the dress! I wish I could find something like it. That shade of purple/violet is one of my favorites.

This second set is more casual and comfy:

We can never go wrong with a comfy cardigan-sweater and moccasins. I would add a nice scarf and jeweled headband. :D

Between these two, I would probably go with the second one eventhough I would love to wear that silver dress and purple pumps.

Which one is more your New Year's style?

Polyvore: Boots! :)

Hi, fellow bloggers! How was your Tuesday?

We went to Ross after school today - my Mom wanted to get some jeans and sweaters (I got some stuff too, a future post, of course!) - and there was this lady who cut in line. She just got in line without checking if there was anyone behind her. So she got into this almost catfight with the ladies who were really supposed to go ahead of her. They were calling each other names and stuff, and someone (an employee or security) had to come in and break it up - it was crazy, and awkward for everyone else. Have you ever seen public fights like that?

Anyways, my friend and I were talking about how excited we are that we can finally wear our boots! Who's with us on that excitement? In honor of boots season, I made three Polyvore sets using three different kinds of boots. :D

Over-the-knee boots:

Even though I don't know if I can ever pull of wearing over-the-knee boots, I do like how it looks on other people. That is how I would wear them.

High-heeled biker boots:

I now appreciate how nice boots look when worn with dresses. I can imagine this outfit worn on a night out with friends. If only I can last long with those heels on! Haha. ;)

Ugg boots:

I've never really been into Uggs because I'm not a fan of the shapeless and bulky look of the original ones. But cute styles like the one above (and others like it) can be an exception for me. And yes, the comfort does make it a winner. That outfit is perfect for a cold day - going to school, running errands, etc.

Which one is your favorite?

:D

Tricky, tricky weather!

Hey, guys! Happy Tuesday! :D

Today I woke up to a chilly morning - complete with gray clouds. In other words, it looked like it was going to be an overcast, gloomy day. I decided I was going to wait it out, see if the sun is going to come out, before I picked my outfit for school. At about 11am, it was still cold and the clouds were still there. So, I decided to wear something like this:

I wore black leggings, a yellow tunic/ long tank top, navy cardigan, a black scarf, and black ballet flats. I was kinda going for a comfy/ laidback chilly day look.

I gotta tell you, I got excited to bust out my leggings and scarves. That is why it was such a bummer that the sun started to come out. By the time I got to school, it was full-on sunny... with the occasional "kinda cold" breeze. Thank God our classroom A/C was on full blast. Phew.

And right now, we're back to gloomy, chilly weather. *Sigh*

In other news, a while back, I won Pelin's giveaway. It took me quite some time before I finally got around to having the photos ready.

I got so excited when I received the package! :D

This was my third giveaway win.

I got three lip balms! :)

Winning and hosting a giveaway are so exciting! :D

What was your first giveaway win? If you've had more than one, which one is the most memorable?

If you haven't won one yet, don't worry, you will win one soon! :)

Have a great Tuesday night, loves!

Polyvore and Tagged by Dizzy and L!nL!n! :)

Today is the last day of August! Crazzzyyy! Today was also my first day of school. It went well - my teacher is nice and cool, my classmates are a good bunch too - I'm excited to meet new friends! I forgot to take a picture of what I wore today (tsk tsk, Mimi!), so I thought I'd just make a Polyvore that looks somewhat like my outfit. It wasn't too hot today so it was okay to wear black, and the sleeves were okay too. But I chose to wear shorts because jeans would just be way too hot. I wore my white watch that looks somewhat like that (but is more affordable!). To add a pop of color, I wore my yellow sandals and yellow bracelet. My black bag was just the right size - big enough to fit my notebook and other stuff, but small enough that it's easy to carry around. I also love how it looks somewhat like that lovely Miu Miu bag. :D

What is your ideal first day outfit?

I was also tagged by Dizzy and L!nL!n! Thanks to you both! :D

These questions are from Dizzy:

1 --- What’s your favorite song? And why? - I really don't have one particular favorite song... right now though, Enrique Iglesias' Like It is stuck in my head because it's the last song I heard.

2 --- Would you rather be the last person alive on earth or would you rather be stuck with the last person alive, which happens to be Prince? - Hahaha, this made me laugh, why can't the last person be someone cute? Haha, I guess I'll just pick being stuck with Prince - at least I won't be alone.

3 --- What’s your most prized possession? And why? - I wouldn't say it's my most prized possession because there are more important things out there, but it's definitely very very important to me (oh, okay fine, I guess I can say it is my most prized possession) - my Louis Vuitton Speedy bag because my parents gave it to me for my 18th birthday, and I would never trade it even for a newer LV.

4 --- If you can have one super power, what would it be? And why? - I would pick being able to turn back time. Imagine how many mistakes, accidents, and tragedies we can stop or prevent if we can turn back time?!

5 --- Would you rather be stuck in a room with Richard Simmons or would you rather be stuck in a room with Adolf Hitler? - Hmmmm, I guess I'd go with Richard Simmons.

6 --- What were you doing the last time you really had a good laugh? - I remember my sister said something really funny.

7 --- If you can go back in time? Where would you go? And why? - Oh my gosh, this is connected to my answer for #4... hmmm, I really don't know, there are so many things that I want to go back to...

8 --- MAC or PC? - I really don't mind - either one as long as the internet connection is excellent.

Thanks for this, Dizzy! :D

Summer to Fall Polyvore and Guest Post!

It's only 11 in the morning, but I am already sweating buckets! It's crazy! We're supposed to reach 104 degrees fahrenheit today, yikes!

Since it's super hot, and it's really hard to think and write a review or something like it today, I am going to share with you, my lovely friends, a Polyvore outfit I made. Woohoo! Haha. ;)

I call this a "Summer to Fall" outfit because it can easily be worn right now through Fall (but for now, I guess we can ditch the cardigan, we really don't need it here in LA).

I love the bowtie on the shoe, it makes it a little girly. The cardigan is silk-cashmere - sounds good to me. I think this is a very simple outfit, with the Chanel bag and diamond studs as the "ooooh, wow!" addition. I don't really have that Chanel bag *sigh*, but there are many quilted bags out there that we can buy (Yay!). It is also very easy to buy diamond stud earrings - people don't really need to know if they're real or not, right?! ;P

What do you think of this outfit?

Dianne from CandidPhobic asked me to write a guest post for her blog! Yay! I made another "Summer to Fall" outfit just for my first guest post. Please head on over to Dianne's blog to check it out. To check out Dianne's blog, see my guest post and other Polyvore outfit, please click here. Thanks, everyone! :D

Fashion: Denim Vest

Happy Wednesday, my dear friends! I hope we're all having a fabulous week! :D

One of my favorite items in my closet is my dark wash denim vest. I think a denim vest is a very wise fashion investment. Like our basic white tees and jeans, vests can be worn in many ways, with a lot of items already in our closet, as seen here:

Since I love my dark wash denim vest very much, I also want to buy a light wash one. I didn't really find one as I surfed the internet, but here are cute vests I found:

Denim Cadet Vest (Forever21, $24.80)

Opt Hood Denim Vest (Forever21 Heritage 1981, $24.90)

Studded Biker Babe Denim (Forever21, $19.90)

Roxy "Cut Off" Denim Vest (Nordstrom, $46)

Michael Kors light wash vest ($99.50)

Do you have suggestions as to where I can find a light-wash denim vest at an affordable price?

Here are how some celebrities wear their denim vests:

I also made two Polyvore outfits showing how I like to wear mine.

Any tips on how else I could wear my vest? Do you like wearing vests?

Emma Watson: New hair and a Polyvore outfit :)

I hope everyone had a good Thursday. TGIF, right?! I still really can't wrap my head around how fast time goes by. It's the weekend again, really???!!! Not that I'm complaining, but woah, that was fast! Where did summer go? :O

I wanted to do a beach Polyvore outfit to celebrate the last few weeks to be spent at the beach, but then I decided to do an Emma Watson-inspired outfit instead because I went to Yahoo! and I saw this:

Emma Watson's new hair.

What do you guys think? Opinions?

When I saw this, I was like "Woah, really?!" I'm not sure if I love it, or like it, or don't like it. All I know is she has guts! That is such a drastic change. I know it's just hair, but to cut your hair that short? Wow, this girl has guts and self-confidence. We're the same age, but I don't know if I can ever get the courage to cut my hair like that.

If not for a new role, I'm thinking she did that to free herself from being seen as Hermione Granger. I don't know, but as a big Harry Potter fan, I'm kinda sad because this is like a big reminder, that yes, Harry Potter is on its last two movies. *sniff, sniff*

But anyways, if she feels good about it and if it works well for her, then I'm all for it. It is her hair, after all. ;)

Now, on to the Polyvore outfit inspired by this:

It was fun seeing these 3 colors in one outfit. I don't know if I can pull this off, but I sure know there are a lot who can. Maybe I'll wear something like this when I'm a little older. :)

I think because the colors are really bright and loud, simple gold stud earrings would do (if we have these Chanel ones, even better!).

I've started using red lipstick, and I am loving it. It makes me feel grown-up, fabulous, and more out there. I've always loved how clean and polished red nails look. And I've also been wearing my yellow wedges, now if only I can find pumps like this. :D

Anyways, I think I should go sleep now. I wish everyone a wonderful Friday and an even more wonderful weekend! :D

Polyvore: My basics + items I'd love to own.

On my last post, I shared with everyone the clothes I bought from Forever21 and H&M. I was able to buy items to make up an entire outfit. Yay! I've been trying to figure out which ones from my existing accessory and bag collection I should use with my new clothes, and then an idea struck me. I haven't done a Polyvore outfit in a while! So here we are, a Polyvore outfit! :D

The basic items that I have are the skirt, tank top, cardigan, and shoes. I was able to find the exact skirt I have, but that's all. Good thing I found look-alikes for the other ones. Haha. :D

The basics:

Faux denim tiered skirt (Forever21) - $12.50

Striped Women's tank (Tilly's) - $9.99

Women's boyfriend cardigan (American Eagle) - $16

Champion Canvas sneakers (Keds) - $30

The "I wish I had these":

Balenciaga bag - $1,755

Invicta Women's 6301 Lupah Collection White Corian watch - $80 (pretty reachable, haha)

Chanel heart shaped clip-on earrings - $375

Vintage Christian Dior 1980s Gold Tone Central Diamante Logo necklace - $592

Vintage Chanel 1980s Gold Rope Textured Surround 'CC' Logo necklace - $1,048

Aaah, if only I had those accessories and a Balenciaga bag... but, that's okay, I'm sure I'll find something in my closet to make the outfit work. ;)

Any other ideas on what I should wear with my basics? :D

Polyvore: Disneyland outfit and Aveeno contest :D

My family and I are planning to go to Disneyland sometime this summer. The last time I went was over a year ago for Grad Nite, May of my senior year. :D

I made a Polyvore outfit of what I would love to wear when we do go to Disneyland this summer.

I would most definitely wear shorts because of the weather, and it is easier to move and walk around when wearing shorts than jeans. A tank top is a must because we don't want any sleeves tan line. ;) I would wear a cute bikini top to add fun to the outfit. Sneakers are comfy. A sling bag is ideal to carry around your essentials. The only piece of jewelry I would wear are probably earrings. :D

What do you think of this outfit? What is your ideal "Disneyland" or theme park outfit?

Another thing, check out http://www.freebeautyevents.com/ to enter a contest and get a chance to win Aveeno Lifting & Firming Cream, Night Cream, and Daily moisturizer with SPF 30. You have until July 31st to enter.

They also have free beauty events and product reviews. :)

I hope everyone is having a good Tuesday! :D

Oh, and I've also noticed that many of your comments and my replies have disappeared from my blog. Hopefully, they come back soon.

Long overdue Polyvore :D

Happy Tuesday night, everyone! I am fully back now, yay! :D

Sorry for the lack of comments on your lovely blogs. I can't wait to check them all out. :)

I haven't made a Polyvore post in quite a while. I was looking through the ones I made a few months ago, and I found this. This outfit is something I would wear to a graduation. The dress is not too formal, but also not too casual. I would wear flats because most high school graduations here are held in football fields or lawns or some other venue of that nature. And it also helps to wear flats because I am sure you'd be walking around congratulating your family and/or friends. :D

Have you been to a graduation this past month? :D

Polyvore: out and about this summer. :D

The weather is starting to hit the 90s. Eventhough it is not yet officially summer, summer is definitely in the air! :D

This is something I will wear while out these days. Light scarves are a favorite this season. You can never go wrong with LV. And I want one of those watches. :D

It's sooo hot, it's time to bust out those shorts and dresses. :)

Happy Sunday! Polyvore time! :D

Hi everyone! I wasn't able to post anything yesterday because it's a pretty busy weekend. But good news, I have my camera and I was able to take pics of stuff I will be blogging about. Haha! :D

Now, Polyvore time!!! :D Hopefully next year, my family and I will be able to go on a European vacation. This outfit is something I would love to wear in Paris. I've been seeing many bloggers wearing those shoes, and I want one. Haha. ;D

Have a relaxing Sunday! :)

Polyvore: Summer means travel! :D

Summer is almost here. I can smell it in the air. :)

And you know what summer means? Travel!!! :D

I would wear this outfit when I travel, either by car or plane. The jeans are stretch cotton - very comfy. Graphic tees are always a favorite. I suggest that you always have a cardigan handy because even if the weather is hot, it can be cold in the plane or car. Having a scarf is also a good idea. A big bag is ideal. Comfy shoes are great. :D

Happy travelling, everyone! :D

Polyvore: First! :D

I finally got around to putting together an outfit on Polyvore. A lot of our blogger friends have been making posts featuring their Polyvore creations, and I've been meaning to make one for months now. And finally, here is my first Polyvore outfit:

I would wear something like this to a lunch out with family and friends or a day at the mall. :D

If only I had a Balenciaga bag. Haha. But that's the great thing about Polyvore: you can whip up any outfit with pieces both expensive and affordable. :D
