Would You Dare to Wear: Dip-Dyed Hair?

I swear all of a sudden like a dozen girls have half-dyed hair -or, as I like to call it, dip-dyed hair, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I think I like it on certain people, but it's definitely not working for the majority of girls at my school. Like, one girl has one little strand of hair dyed purple, and it just looks silly. Another girl has the bottom half of her hair dyed bright blue, but there's a really obvious line between her blue hair and her natural coloring.

Basically, the girls sporting this trend at my school aren't rocking it. But I do like the trend in these instances:

Maybe for a party I would put in a pink clip-in extention, but personally I would never dye my hair, especially in some weird neon color.

Would you?

Karma Chameleon

Dress by me! Anthropologie sweater; Coach sandals; vintage bracelet and necklace

Song of the Day!

I got my green for St. Patrick's Day! Someone told my my dress looked like a Lily Pulitzer dress and I guess that's a pretty good compliment. This is definitely one of my favorite dresses I've made in terms of construction. Also, in French (for some strange, obscure reason which has not yet been explained to me) I was voted as the girl with the most Rapunzel-like hair. I guess that's an accomplishment.

Anthropologie dress; Gap shirt; Report sandals

This is perhaps my favorite dress ever. It has flowers, the corseted top makes my waist look like half as big, and the petticoat underneath gives it some extra poof. And of course you can wear it everywhere.

life is but a dream

One thing that I love about Prada is how it integrates art and fashion. Very few designers actually take their fashion to the artistic level that Prada does, and every season I look forward to Prada's Fantasy lookbooks. I really wish more people would do stuff like this. The end result is so cool.

Here are some of my favorite images:

But it's an Alaia!

Ohmigod I watched Clueless yesterday and every time I watch that movie I fall a little bit more in love with it. Cher is the coolest girl ever, if not a bit ditzy, but she's still super smart in other ways! She's like a teenage Elle Woods. 

Plus, anyone who rocks plaid like that and respects her designer clothes is an idol in my book.

BECAUSE SINCE THE DAY WE MET, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE.

Flow of rushing river could be controlled, but nor does the blood flowing through my veins, running all the way to my purely beating heart. All the words I would have said are all locked inside my red, pouty lips. Can you feel me? I am the shadow that preys by your side, the every thing that hides as you walk on, and something that's missing as you look back in those lonely nights. 

I am the whispers that you hear when no one near, I am the wind breeze that embraces you when the coldest full moon contemns you. I am always there, for you, until the breaking dawn swallows the horrendous darkness. You are the every inch of eternity, the perfect reflection of Gabriel, the best thing in me.

Gotta admit that I didn't even realize that I was suffering from stress last week. We got math, physics, and biology test in a row! I was effing shock when my hair started to fall and Mom even said I looked like a stick alien! This week we're having mid test for second semester but I'm feeling all better at least. Anyway, I'm typing this post with fresh orange juice and medium size of Cheese Gallore pizza next to me! I don't care how many tons of fats it contains, it tastes heavenly delicious! What flavor of pizza do you guys can't resist? =)

PS If you are wondering, yes I can finish it off by myself! Now you know I have such big tummy =D
PSS Please Pray for JAPAN!

The Most Wearable Collection of the Season

Surprisingly, one of my favorite collections emerged all the way at the beginning of Fashion Month, back in New York. Even more so, it was a brand new designer! Usually I favor the more whimsical collections, but something about the Kelly Wearstler presentation made me smile. There was a look for every occasion, perfect for some quirky twenty-something go-getter trying to tackle the big city. Streamlined enough to look professional and sophisticated, but with enough color and excitement to still appear fun and cool. This is what I want to be like when I'm, like, twenty-two.

I see a mansard roof through the trees

Dress by me! Steve Madden boots

I've been waiting for a sunny day to debut this new dress and today was that day! Oh, I love those odd days in March and April when it truly feels like summer...if only I wasn't stuck studying for AP tests and SATs(!!!) Anyways, introducing the Hawaiian Watercolor Shift Dress! As I told my friend, it's kind of like a mullet, because it's a shift in the front and fitted in the back!

I'm so bummed that fashion month is over. But I'll be posting a lot about the trends I noticed, my favorite collections, and definitely more outfits!

P.S. I've recently joined Weardrobe so check it out!
