Inspiration: Jan 2013

Oh may, it's another day that I can't help but want to express my emotions. It's must be something in the air. I feel little off.   I keep on dropping things and rambling on and on. I keep on wishing that winter will be over. Is it too soon to start dreaming about spring? I'm ready to start a new phase in life, both online and in reality.

I can stop thinking about where I am going. Spring will be here soon and I'm full of new ideas. Really, I appreciate everything.

Speaking of Springtime, Free People has me already day dreaming of bike rides and flowy dresses. I can't wait! Credit: free people

Road Trip Inspiration

 Where do you go when you want to getaway? I'm planning a small road trip to a few states next weekend. I need to satisfy my wanderlust. my friends and I  will be the road for 15 hours towards Ohio. I'm personally planning on bringing comfy sweats and a few games to play. Also looking for a few random places to stop this list includes many diners and ice cream places. Now I have to go back to writing. I have three papers due next Wednesday!

My Friend, My Foe

How is possible that I can do things with such little sleep? I must depend too much on drinking coffee and protein bars. I don't how to explain my justified love about sipping a warm, large latte. Besides wanting coffee every morning, there are tons of reasons to cheer up and enjoy the start of a new season. Still, I can't help but linger onto summer. I always wish that I live in tropical weather. Although I'm big fan of cozy knits, I would prefer a day out in the sun.  Time to find more fall inspiration. I just wish the weather would stay at its current level.

 

Currently in love with these images.  No original sources, all found via my tumblr and pinterest. I do not claim to own any unless otherwise stated.

Current Inspiration:August

Almost the end of the summer, but still time to break out the shorts and light jackets. Also I plan of heading out to the lake. I better grab a few adorable friends also.
 Just wish I had a few more chic, and summer outfits to show. At times when I feel a little doubtful, I look for beauty inspiration in multiple medias. It's rather boring to be posting the same outfit. I rather just take one or two outfits I really adore and post them. I guess it's my personal policy.  Below I posted to photos I found via tumblr. Both really had elements that I just adore.

Gorgeous smile. Ever so lovely red lips and jumbo round sunnies. All I need in one photo.

Fun sequins for a romantic night out. I don't care if everyone stares. I want them to stare...

Can I just have time to stare and wish that I could grab what I want from pictures? Thanks for reading.

Were You Followed

Just last week, I finally saw Moonrise Kingdom. I could go on forever about how much I adore Wes Anderson. I think it goes back a few years, since I first saw The Royal's Tenenbaums. The whole movie I felt torn between the romance of Suzy Bishop and Sam Shakusky. I won't spoil the movie but it's an absolute must see this summer.

Also this whole week I wish I could be 12 again. Le Sigh, Suzy wardrobe was so utterly perfect. She wore the most beautiful shade of pink and others pastels. Right now I'm feeling so inspired to put my own twist. I imagine myself, just wandering the woods , finding the perfect spot and building a wonderland retreat from the city.  I might be tempted  to runaway for a few days.

Or I might go this movie again. One of my friends is dying to see after hearing my raves!

So Very Close

I have a routine that is quite basic. I adore a natural look and wearing a simple bun. Sometimes it's just fun to add a fun detail to the back. Just add a cute bow or clip and this style will definitely get a few looks.  I've seen a few tutorials, just Google hair bun.

If anyone is interested, I could try to post my favorite beauty products. Thanks for reading !

Spring Flowers

Soaking in the rays and wandering around the floral and fauna. I'm completely falling for floral. I might even enjoy them more than stripes. Let see how I try to incorporate my inspiration into an outfit. I just wanted to keep this post short and sweet. Enjoy the images and go outside to smell the roses! Thanks for reading lovelies!

Monday Morning

Sigh, why did spring break have to end? I'm just even more anxious for the end of semester. Don't you feel like, just passing right through all the boring stuff and straight to summer. I will always love summer. Below are just a few things I'm in love with, most are classic but a few current trends. Always finding more inspiration for this season via tumblr!

Just A Little Bit

Look at these two gorgeous ladies. I'm completely in love with this editorial.  All so simple and classic. The single chain, the neutral and shorts are some of my current favorites. The polka dot scarves are absolutely a must have for myself. I have such a large weakness for silk scarves, and I need to browse through a few thrift stores for a similar style.

One more thing, I need to buy a pair of new sunglasses for this summer. I'm considering forgoing the cheap, plastic versions from H&M or Forever21 for a high end brand. I would love any recommendations for stores or designers, since I'm so scared to break them.
Thanks lovelies!

What I Want Spring Edition

Sigh, February  needs to move along. I have the urge to wear all my light short dresses right now. I have to force myself not to go out in them because I would freeze my legs.
I keep on wanting to buy lace shorts, loose knit or silk tops,  girlie prints and midi length dresses, bright bags for carrying all my shit! I honestly can't wait for spring to arrived to enjoy being outside and all the new items that are in the stores!
So dear readers, what is the one thing you can't wait for when spring arrives?

ps. I'm wishing so much that I could be in NYC right now! So jealous of all you lucky girl who could attend NYFW!

Also I do not take any credit or ownership for the pictures, if you are the orginal owner, please contact me.

Some Kind Of Feeling

Winter break has started off better than expected. I'm done with shopping for next weekend. Today I went to this amazing new restaurant and I ate some spicy fish tacos. Sadly I forgot to bring a camera but it gives me a reason to go back. 
I spent most of the day watching Gossip Girl. I haven't seen many episodes since season 3. It's getting more addicting and I keep on swooning of the wardrobe. I miss watching the drama between Chuck and Blair. So glad I started that I'm considering watching the all the seasons. Do you have TV show recommendations? Anything I've been missing?

Can't Handle Me Right Now.

I plan to attend a local comic book/ anime convention this November, but I have to be in Chicago same weekend as the conference. 


I wanted to make a costume from Serena or Usagi and Luna Sailor Moon. Too bad I can't use this as a Halloween costume but maybe next year.  I'm not a fan of serious cosplay. If you are going to dress up, I think it's perfectly adorable do something different, by wearing a updated look. As long as you have a few recognizable accessories, I'm sure people can guess your cosplay outfit. I followed the basic color palette of the characters and reference plots from the TV show. 


If you are one of those semi-professional or professional cosplayers, please try not to be so critical. I'm not the most hardcore anime fan and love to experiment with any character. 

You can see that I was inspired by Serena looks: left to right; Serena as Princess Serenity; Sailor Moon, those Vivienne Westwood boots must be something that Serena would prefer other those love red ones; School Girl Serena, imagine Serena running late to class in those badass McQueen shoes lugging  along her light pink bag.

I love Luna. In fact, I'm sure she's the reason why I have a little black kitty. Of course, I can't dress a cat but this lovely guardian would be ravishing in gold and black. From super hot cocktail dresses, but Luna seems to be more conservative. I would prefer to see her in be consistent in her closet. Nothing too liberal. But she's totally the type to add playful bows and accessories. She's definitely the cat's meow!

I hope I can another convention and that I'll have Tuxedo Mask join me!


ps. Thanks for the lovely comments. I appreciate all of them. ♥

10/10/10

But I that today being sponsor by the number 10. I thought I tell everyone 10 things I love:

1. I'm finally going to take my driving test. I failed it the first time. Wish me Luck!
2. Caramel Apples that seem to be everywhere now! I love them with sprinkles and chocolate. Even the plain caramel with nuts is yummy!
3. Dark, sexy lips. Umm, can't even explain how much I want some dark red or berry lipstick. Although I do love pinks.
4. Hot Apple Cider on cool fall nights. Too bad, I have nobody to cuddle with under a blanket. It be so romantic.
5. Going on Zoo field trips. I went to the local zoo. I rode the train and walk around the whole place. I'm dying to go again.
6. Classic 80's songs. The B-52's and Depeche Mode have never gone down the path of 80's cheesy dance music. You know that song that makes you cringe every time you hear it.
7. Netflix! If your nearby video store has recent closed, have no fear, and just get a Netflix account. Some of my personal favorite movies are just a day wait in the mail or better on instant watch! I definitely say get one, even though you'll end up staying home Friday night.
8. Home decor. I'm currently trying to find new bedsheets and home decorations for my room. I would love to buy a newer and bigger bed but that would look rather silly for my small room. I want something soft and pretty. Not sure exactly, but I'll do an update on my room soon!
9. Tall Black boots. I have searched all over the internet for a pair of new black boots.  Yet, I still have not made a purchase. I love to wear an over the knee but I'm a little short.
10.All the great comments and followers.

Tell what you've love about today? I'm sick of all the negativity. Let's try to be positive.

Fancy a Cup of Tea?

I recently bought Alice and Wonderland on DVD. It's not that great but I really love anything Alice theme due to a silly obsession with the books by Lewis Carroll.  

But lately I've dying to have a tea party. I'm have no idea when this party will occur but for now I'm just going to post a bunch of inspiration pictures.

 Naturally, I would have to serve cupcakes and fruit tarts.
