Looks - Why is a Raven like a Writing Desk?

"Why is a Raven like a Writing Desk?" will be a question that I will be always asking...

Hey everyone! Another styling shoot is finally out~ This is actually an accident and it was totally unintentional. So Effy was doing an assignment for her Film class, and the concept were about this girl who has multiple personality disorder. That is the general idea, and the finished product of the film will be posted later so look forward to that! Personally, I really like this shoot because the photos are just awesome and dark. It has this rebellious teenager type of thing going on. The photo actually depicts the deranged crazy very well so I think the title is very fitting considering how it is a riddle that is not suppose to make sense.

The look today is totally black. It goes from the black bootie, to the black jeans, then my black shirt, and lastly the black jacket. Thank god my hair is dyed blonde, or I'll probably look like a floating head! Black is really a color that looks good no matter how you wear it. Of course, some may think that it is spring time and black is a rather grim color, but as long as the fabric and texture is light enough, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. 

Looks - Urban Outfitters Skull Shirt!

The sunshine makes me so happy!

The weather has been very badly lately but it finally got better yesterday! It was a glorious day with bright sun and nice breeze. As you can see above, I was very pleased. To celebrate such a great day, we did another photoshoot! We are not having as much photoshoots lately because it is the joyful midterm season for us students, and we need to study before we can take pictures. Plus the weather wasn't ideal anyways. And now we can finally have a new set of photos out, yay!

The main garment to introduce is the skull shirt from Urban Outfitters, which is currently on sale for $9.99. It's a great deal in my opinion. The shirt is incredibly comfortable, flowy, and the design in the front is just so creative and awesome that it has a bit McQueen-esque to it (probably because of the skulls). I paired the shirt with a knitted jacket from American Eagle, jeans from Forever21, and a pair of knee-high boots from DSW. The look is more casual and comfortable, emphasizing chicness. I wore it to my midterm today actually. There are also a lot of different ways to dress this shirt, which is its advantage too since you can change the tone so easily by simply using different outerwear. Go check it out!

Although the shirt is the focal point, but these boots are awesome nonetheless.

Looks - Prabal Gurung's Floral Crush Shorts

Well it has been a long time, but we finally got another styling shoot! Today we are featuring the super cute pair of shorts featured in the Prabal Gurung for Target - LOVE collection. The collection was sold during the mid-February (during Valentines Day) and it was an absolute shopping frenzy. When I first went to the store, it was already sold out and I was lucky enough to find it in the Target at New Jersey. The shorts was adorable and comfortable. The print is one of the signature prints in the collection (along with the "First Date Print").

Because the print is already so colorful and eye-catching, there is no need to match it with crazy tops or some big chunky jewelry. In fact, big jewelries may cheapen the short because of its adorable nature. I matched it with a black top and cardigan simply because I want it to stand out, but it'll do great with other color tops too as long as its something that coincide with the palette of the shorts. If you really want to pair it with a crazy top, make sure the pattern matches and is from the same corner of the color palette to avoid looking like a clown. I wore it with heels, but it is also perfect for sneakers or flats, as long as the color matches!

Looks - Gussy up for New York Fashion Week 2013!

Today, I was invited to a very special event: Alexander Wang and Robert Geller's runway show. They presented the autumn/winter 2013. So one will have to dress fashionably to attend such an important event. So? This is what I came up with, I decided to go with simple and sweet. I wore a pair of tights and a short blue tribal print skirt from Forever21, with a half sheer black shirt (also from Forever21) and a grey cardigan. Lastly, I complete the look by wearing these awesome black-golden heels, a Zara coat, and carried a black-and-white hand bag. It turns out to be a very chic look.

Even though today is the aftermath of Nemo the blizzard and it is really cold outside but I still sucked up the coldness and dressed professionally. It was very beautiful out in Washington Square Park because it was covered in white snow. Walking in the slushes, however, was a pain in the butt. What us girls will do for fashion.

The show itself was a great experience, which I will elaborate more later!

Looks - Human Anatomy!

Skeletons are commonly associated with death and other dark stuff, but why can't it be cute and fun? In today's shoot, I matched a pair of skeleton gloves (In pink, which is super adorabs~) with a skull shirt. The skull design on the shirt is specially designed and it is very meticulous. 

The look in general still has a certain edge to it even though the pink gloves very cute. It is very comfortable to shop, visit museums, or hang out in this outfit since the denim-like leggings and soft knit shirt is comfortable and loose, along with the knit hat and the gloves to keep you warm and stylish. I chose to not put on even more jewelries such as necklaces because I don't want to crowd the graphics in the front. 

So, what do you think?

Looks - Temperate Tuesday

Today is a lazy Tuesday. I didn't do anything besides painting and stuff. It's just one of those days that you don't feel well and you cannot bring yourself to do anything productive. Eventually, after finishign some pretty awesome things, I was finally able to start reading.

Well, this is the look of my day :) Like I said, it was a very relaxing day, very "temperate". Big, baggy tee, Leggings, Flat-rim hat. My new blonde-ish hair too!! Gotta Love the lazy days.

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

Looks - A Hot Day in Winter.

So did anyone feel how hot today is? It's even 72 Fahrenheit degrees at one point today. II really appreciated the warm weather cause it has been very cold in New York City lately.

This is my third day into the spring semester, and I finally got the chance to take photos of my looks. This is about 5:30 in the afternoon, and I just came back from an entire day of class, so sorry about my very tired expressions.

I hope you like the look!!

Also, I want to take an opportunity to introduce a new writer, and also my very good friend, Effy! She is also the one who took those photos. She is going to be focusing on museum exhibitions, photographies, and other more fine arts related topics. We haven't really developed any specific ideas yet, but so far this is the case.
