follow me / make your ownLYST

Another post for the summer shopping frenzy! Today's a great day in New York City. I cannot even begin to express how excited I am. Just sitting all day in Washington Square Park. I mean, I am in class right now, but that is only because I have to. Yeah, I'm not a great student, but it is only because I want to be outside so badly. Here are a selection of shoes on LYST! Go shopping fashionistas, I won't bore you with more words now!

Go!

One White Shirt, Two Ways Styling!

White shirt is always the simplest and easiest thing that goes with all kinds of looks. Wear it with a long black dress it could be a little bit formal and chic looking. Tug it into a boyfriend shorts, it could be casual and street style. A pair of white converse and a beanie would make this look even cooler.

Shopping Cheap - Head-to-Toe of the Blues

Blue has always been a gorgeous color that many adore (other than black and white of course). Many of you may notice that "blue" is one of this spring season's "in" colors (specifically Monaco Blue), along with red, emerald, and yellow. Many celebrities now are wearing this beautiful color, such as Emma Stone, Rihanna, and Jessica Chastain. So basically  a person will be a walking "blue". If a person has the ability to pull this off, they will automatically become the style icon on the streets. Here is a simple guide to helping you become that style icon. Below are shirts and bottoms, dresses, jewelries  and bags that will help you! The prices of each pieces are kept under a $50 budget so you won't break the bank as you become the central of attention.

How to pull off such a unique look? Attitude! A lot of the times when one does something bold, the best way to not get "noticed" or judged is to have the right attitude. Strut with pride!

Shopping Cheap - Forever21 Spring Shoes 2013

I have so many pairs of shoes that my room doesn't have space to store them, and yet there are so much more pairs that I want to have. Here are the shoes that I think is pretty awesome and would love to own if possible. They are all from Forever21, well under $50 bucks, and quite good quality. There are three different themes I love for my spring and I think Forever21 did quite a good job of giving the buyers enough variety to shop. They are "Pastel.Light.Elegant", "Stud.Metallic.Punk", and "Casual.Cutout.Funky". Don't you think they are just awesome?

Looks - Cold.... Just So Cold

It was 31 Fahrenheit this afternoon. It was so cold. What was worse is the wind.

To prepare for an upcoming shoot for Embodied Magazine, I had to go to a local thriftique - AuH2O to gather enough garments to be featured in the shoot.

AuH2O is owned by a NYU Gallatin Alumnus, Kate Goldwater. The title of the store is a smart play of her last name. Au = Gold, H2O = Water. The selection of clothes in the store is great. They are mostly vintage, and there were some very cute knit sweaters there. What is even cuter are the accessories they carry. It is a thriftique that definitely worth the visit.

I decided to buy a purple knit sweater and have a mini photo shoot. The owl necklace is also new. :)

Not Born to be a model, but apparently I can pull it off.
Jeans = PacSun

Purple Sweater = AuH2O
Owl Necklace = AuH2O
Ring = Forever21

Purse = AuH2O

Bootie = Zara

Life - Sunday Thrift-shopping!

It is so cold today! It kind of sucks how I don't have more pictures of my thrifting experience. Just too cold to pull out the camera. (it was 30F today, along with the wind.)

My look today is pretty laid back for a lazy Sunday shopping trip. I was wearing a Aztec print knit dress, black tights, Forever21 kicks and bags. Then I top everything with my J-Crew jacket. Just saying, this is not warm enough. 

My look of the day!

Today I went to East Village to thrift and I end up with some scarves, tights, and a bracelet! I got all of these things from Search and Destroy, a very punk, rock type of store. There are some store decoration that really freaked me out, such as the zombie, the hanging mannequin, and separated (limb-by-limb by the way) human form. It was disturbing. Other than that, the selection was massive, with plenty of cool/edgy things that you can pick. The place is a bit grimy  and the style is more on extreme (studs and leather), but they are pretty cool.

Then we went to a couple more shops down 9th street. The stores are nice and cute, but the selection was not big and they are all vintage antiques so unless you have a very specific item/style, it might not be suitable. 

Well, now, let's take a look with my finds!

Super excited to put together an outfit especially with the scarves. I don't usually shop for scarves but now that I have them, I can't wait to have fun with them!! Will update with results!
