because i'm asian: October 2011

chanel + toddler

So.... this is basically my future daughter in the making. Chanel bag and everything. Trust me, my baby will definitely be like Rachel Zoe's, spoiled to the max and, of course, carrying Chanel. But she won't be picking her nose in public. We wouldn't want to ruin her image at such an early age.

through the decades + free people

I very rarely say this... but I'm awesome. Just kidding. No really, I am kidding. But do you know who is awesome? Free People. When living in New York this summer, I made it my mission to visit every Free People store... more than five times. What can I say, I am smitten. With my undying love for Free People, of course I have to constantly be stalking when they do something new. This time Free People has a holiday book (aka catalog) called "Through the Decades". But if the title doesn't give it away, then I will. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it means it'll be featuring different decades. Here are two chapters from the catalog featuring the 1920s and 1950s.

incology + connect the dots

Remember that post showing behind the scene photos of a photo shoot for Incology? Well, ladies and gentlemen, here are the results. After nervously biting my nails to see the pictures, I could finally breath after seeing them. It was my first editorial that I styled and was behind it creatively. Go see the actual post and comment HERE, you'll get brownie points.

Store on Tour + Urban Outfitters

A few weeks ago my friend invited me to an event called "Store on Tour". I was a little skeptical at first but then I clicked it. After I saw "Urban Outfitters" and "Coming to Tallahassee", I freaked out! Urban Outfitters decided to bring a pop up store to 4 lucky cities (aka college towns) for a few days, so college fashionistas (like myself) could get their hands on UO products. Tallahassee was one of those lucky cities.

Two weeks of patiently waiting, it finally arrived. Me and two of my friends waited in line a little beforehand so we can call dibs. It felt like we waiting in line longer than it did to shop and checkout. While it was excruciating to stand in the heat, it was well worth it when I walked away with new UO products. They are here till Thursday, so I just may have to go back and snag a few more pieces.

Miroslava Duma

Miroslava Duma is my street style obsession. She may be short but definitely knows how to dress herself. Plus, she looks absolutely adorable in everything she wears.

photo shoot + incology

Last week my "to do" list was never ending. I spent partial amount of my time researching polka-dot editorials, and the other partial part of my time driving around Tallahassee asking stores for clothes. This past weekend I put together my first trends editorial for INCOLOGY.While I have done the past photo shoots, this one was first non store based shoot. It was a long night, but I couldn't have survived if it wasn't for all the people present. Of course, I took photos with my instagram app.
