This is a much belated post but I (surprise, surprise) don’t feel like working and decided to tinker around my blog again. My favorite Vanity Fair Issue (September 2008) had a feature on fashion’s new guard, and lo and behold, there are Asians in there. And lots of them! It’s happening in the fashion industry (Doo.ri, [...]

I just read an article on Paul Newman in last month’s Vanity Fair and decided that he’s one of those rare celebrities who makes me want to be a better person.

I could start my post about cybele wiren the same way theurbancollectionblog did.  This is my first time hearing about the New Zealand designer and I’m in love with her designs.

I found a new source of inspiration. I don’t know why I haven’t come across Mireia or her blog, My Daily Style, before, but I love her boho sense of style and the fact that she’s proof that one need not alter their style of dressing just because there’s a bun in the oven. Um, [...]

I don’t know why but listening to this almost made me cry. This is the intro text from La Blogotheque. We took to the streets around Little Tokyo as darkness rolled in. The shopping district was buzzing with people walking and laughing and waving down the street to friends. Priscilla and I watched a man playing [...]

I’ve been tagging and bookmarking lots of things I want to share, but since more than half my company got laid off, I’ve actually had to work at work. Oh the horror. Mini update before I get into what really inspired me to finally add something to my blog - I didn’t get laid off [...]
