Sunday















I'm wearing; Satorisan sneakers, Stylestalker blazer, H&M leggings, Chloe top

As promised an outfit with some color and some photos of my new home!

The velvet plaid and pillows covering the Chair are from H&M home (bought online just a few weeks ago) and the Red bench, the lamp on the bench and the cream colored yarn sit sack are from a store in the East Village called "Tiny Apartments" the big pompoms are a "do it your self", I would have made more and bigger ones if I didn't run out of yarn haha

The sneakers are from a new Spanish brand called Satorisan and are kind of like Vans but then made out of a perforated washed-out-look leather. And for those who aren't familiar with Stylestalker, seriously check it out!


The past few weeks I felt so shitty because my hair had turned a brassy yellow and my very fair skin was blotchy/patchy thanks to a decade of sun-damage and a smoking habit..

Seriously be very careful with the sun especially if you have a fair skin, you don't see what it does when you are in your 20's but when you hit 30s like me it will bite you in the ass, same with smoking.

Anyway I had my fix and feel so much better! With fix I mean lots of silver shampoo and a self tanner haha.. I used the Sensai Silky Bronze from Kanebo, a bit pricey but the color came out nice, still a bit too orange for me but I think that's just inevitable on fair skin and it left my skin radiant and moisturized.. Seriously I feel rejuvenated lol its like a body foundation, now I don't have to wear make-up ;)

Back Details






I'm Wearing; Alexander Wang Blazer, Shop Akira top, H&M leggings, DIY mongolian fur bag made by Feed your Style, Lucette leather bag, La Dama faux fox tail, IT Ballet flats

I think I made a habit of wearing my blazers and jackets over my hair haha, "the tucked in hair" although I think when you would try to tuck your hair in, it wouldn't look as effortlessly.. Just be a bit sloppy like me and it would come naturally ;)

Ballerinas












New Ballerina Flats from IT shoes, Long length tutu skirt and silk top both from the H&M

These Ballet flats from independent label IT shoes are so elegant and give such a sophisticated French look with their simplicity and quality. Bravo to designer Isis Alarcon, I'm a Fan!! Of course I had to start right away with pulling outfits together, funny how shoes can inspire me for styling looks haha somehow I call these my Audrey Hepburn shoes..

KILLDARLING



KILLDARLING SUMMER 2011 from KILLDARLING on Vimeo.


I'm loving KILLDARLING's first collection! and Love the Video! (Candy colored silk dresses ~ yum yum)



I think what Sam wrote about her label and collection says it all;
(plus I like the story haha)

"Killdarling is clothing for tea parties and after parties. For trips to Paris and trips to the mailbox.It is for the girl who has had enough of rainbows, unicorns and Prince Charming. For the girl who doesn't care if she loses a shoe at the ball. For the girl who throws the other shoe at Prince Charming, takes off with the hot valet guy who parked her pumpkin carriage, and heads with him to the afterparty. Barefood. Killdarling is made for mischief and adventure."


hmmmm.... does this sound like something we would do? I would say "hell yeah"



You can check out the LOOKBOOK and SHOP HERE

Lace and Lacquer









I'm wearing; Shop Akira lace shorts, Alexander Wang blouse, Veronique Branquinho black blouse, Zara shoes, Lucette bag, La Dama faux fox tail and ysl-look-a-like ring


Wearing my new lace shorts from Shop Akira.
Thanks to my spring wardrobe cleaning I found the lacquer Zara shoes, A. Wang and Veronique Branquinho blouses somewhere hidden in boxes!

I used to wear the Branquinho blouse with everything a few years ago (something I will doing again hehe) Both the blouses were bought at consignment shop Tokio 7 (in New York) The Zara shoes are from seasons ago and back them I worn them only once, they were kind of a miss-buy but right now I'm so happy I didn't got rid of them!
