Quick update... trying to breath during the exhausting routines!


what I did when I suffer from stress. Ah, I really need to improve my coloring! Somehow I'd prefer seeing the raw inked sketched than the colored one =( 
How do you think? Drop some comments and advices! (I put the comment link below the title post) Thankyou =)
As you can see in previous posts, my bangs sucks =p Why does it growing too fast even I have it cut regularly? Which make me having no option beside pin it back it won't disturb my sight and I'm avoiding acnes coming out under my bangs!

see you very soon! ^_____^

I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day

Jean Paul Gaultier
Spring 2011


If Taylor Momsen and Joan Jett had a baby, this is what its clothes would look like.

Fishnets, Doc Marten-esque boots, and plenty of mullets.

The look is edgy and completely rock n' roll, but I feel like if you take individual pieces away from the overall look you can pair it with anything. As always, there's such a fantastic attention to detail that you absolutely cannot ignore. Pure genius. 


P.S. I wonder if the 3D suit looks better with those glasses on.

don't you want to get out of Cape Cod, out of Cape Cod tonight?

So guess who I saw last night? 
 Top: Vampire Weekend Tee
Skirt: J. Crew
Shoes: Report 
Bracelet: gift(?)


The outfit was inspired by a mix of Vampire Weekend's awesome preppy Ivy League style and the relaxing yet upbeat music that they play that makes you think of a warmer climate. J. Crew with African beads, just like they do songs about Cape Cod with bongo drums.
But really, the concert was fabulous, and even if you aren't a megafan of them I suggest you see them because they are just so much fun, and unlike most bands, they actually do have a sense of style (and it's one that I actually do like). They were even in Vogue (last picture of 'em)


And my favorite song  they preformed last night: Walcott


no new tale to tell

It seems that the spring/summer collections in London (I know, that was like, so last week, but it's hard to stay on top of all these shows!) have some stories to share:

 Erdem: the Folktale

Plenty of lace, high collars, and homespun touches make Erdem the most fashionable solution for those with a traditional look.
 Louise Gray: the Magical Tale

One of my absolute favorite designers as of lately, went all out for spring. May not be the most practical of collections, but it sure is beautiful.
Jonathan Saunders: the Summer Tale

Summer has only just ended and already I dream of going back to those carefree days when I look at these clothes. Here's to next year!

 Charles Anastase: The Fairytale

With beautiful pastels, dazzling metallics, and fabulous floral embellishments, it's hard to not picture these clothes in a magical universe.

well can you tell me why you're so stuck up

Dress and Cardigan: Tara Jarmon (from Paris!)
Bag: J. Crew
Tights: Hue

It was a bit chilly today, so I decided to finally show off my outfit I got at Le Bon Marche in Paris over the summer (with the sleeves rolled up over the sweater, just like the salesperson showed me). I was in a preppy/East Coast/Blair Waldorf mood today. Ha, someone was actually talking about East Coast colleges today and they turned to me and said, "Lindsey, you'd totally fit in." I may be a California girl, but sometimes it's fun to do the prep school look.

J'aime...

There are some pretty weird shoes out there right now. I wonder if they actually look good on people, but at least they're pretty to look at.

new york state of mind

Ironically enough, we still are kind of in the spring/summer season, and already we are looking forward to next year's fashion forecast.

But that's okay. Because frankly, I'm in love. Here are some of my favorite New York shows:

Custo Barcelona: The Fearless One

It's no secret that I love color, but sometimes I am so disappointed by the lack of it on runways. All the minimalistic stuff is cool every once in a while, but when it comes right down to it, I am a girl who has almost no black in my wardrobe but almost every color of the rainbow. Can you see why I love this? 

Badgley Mischka: Glamour at It's Best

Every season I'm on the lookout for possible red carpet hits. I am obsessed with evening gowns, perhaps because they're still an item you really only wear while playing dress-up still. I can tell that Badgley Mischka is going to have several red carpet moments this season. Almost every gown was exquisite- I had to narrow it down to my absolute favorites, but there were so many dresses to choose from!

L.A.M.B: The Fabulous Gwen

Gwen Stefani is one of my idols. She's 40+ and still looks like she's twenty, can still rock out with the best of them, and she is one of the few celebrities actually involved with their lines. I've always liked L.A.M.B. and the clothes they've produced- it's like pieces of Gwen that you can wear. But this season Miss Stefani outdid herself  with these cool African prints and ultra-fun party frocks. If only these clothes could be in my closet...

Dennis Basso: Party On

Dennis Basso is another designer that produces fabulous party dresses every season. As I've already said, I'm addicted to evening wear and dresses, so of course I love his work. His spring show was full of all sorts of fun dresses that absolutely wowed- again, I had to pick my absolute top picks. I can see these three dresses on Emma Watson, Zoe Saldana, and Blake Lively, respectively. These dresses are perfect for the Young Hollywood set.

the Circle of life

Remember two years ago when Christopher Kane absolutely wowed (at least in my opinion) with those fantastic, 3D cutout circles, ie:


To quote Rachel Zoe (I'm watching her show right now) "I literally die." Honestly, when I saw on of these skirts at Barney's, my mom and I freaked. I loved the idea and how the circles created this fantastic shape and volume. Sometimes these ideas are better on paper than they are in real life, but I was absolutely fascinated by how freaking awesome these dresses turned out.

But of course that was two years ago and my obsession with the Christopher Kane collection subsided...

Until, of course, my boss brought in this amazing fabric. First, the color was this deep winter teal that I knew would make my eyes the exact same color, so I was already pumped. But then it isn't just straight raw silk, no, there are little cutout circles sewed on in lines. Immediately I wanted the fullest skirt possible, possibly with a petticoat too, with all the circles just exploding out. And guess what! That's exactly what they want to do with the fabric, too!

And then I see these dresses from Rare at Topshop:


Honestly, I love these. So so chic.

Gossip is bad.

That is what I've learned this weekend.

But tonight, gossip is good. Yes, you fellow headband-wearing folks know what I'm talking about. After a long, long summer, it has returned.

xoxo, Gossip Girl

haha yes. I am obsessed.
