</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've been wanting to rock the layered bracelets look foreverrr, and I finally went bracelet shopping last week. I found some great cheap bracelets at claire's and hot topic, as well as some great rings, so expect to see a lot of jewelry shots in future posts.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Also, I've been thinking of putting layers back in my hair, after having it all one length for a long time. I want more volume around my face. But I'm afraid that I won't be able to make gorgeous braids like the one above anymore if I do. So I'm trying to decide whether it's more important that my hair looks good up or looks good down.

I've just been focused on other things. I'm taking the GRE soon, and I've been preparing for the start of school - which was today! Also, my boyfriend is in the process of remodeling his condo, and my mom is an interior designer, so she and I have been helping him make decisions, which has involved multiple trips to IKEA and meetings with contractors, etc. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And also, my buddy for over the past year passed away last week. Here is Ajax, aka my "leetle guy" - I nicknamed him when I first got him, before he grew a bunch. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He looks a little limp in these pictures because these were taken a few hours after he died.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a pic taken of him while he was alive. He outgrew this bowl, and I had to buy him a big aquarium eventually. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He was a smart crayfish. One morning, I woke up and Ajax wasn't in his bowl. My boyfriend and I panicked and started tearing my room apart - crayfish can only live about 6 hours out of water, and we weren't sure how long he had been out of his bowl. After an hour of searching my apartment, James found Ajax out in my living room, underneath the TV furniture, trying to climb up a power strip. He had gotten really far! After that I made sure to keep a lid on his bowl, until I could get him a big aquarium a couple weeks later. =] </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I think he just died of old age. So it's a bummer, but that's how life goes. My birthday is in a few days, and I think I'll be getting a new crayfish as one of my gifts. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyways, sorry for getting distracted. I have a bunch of outfit posts coming up! So without further ado, this is what I wore to go out with James for our one-year anniversary a few days ago. We went to see a movie ("Going the Distance") and then afterwards went to Buffalo Wild Wings, because it was two doors down from the theater, and one of the few places still open and serving food at 11:30 pm. Not that romantic, but we had a great time, good drinks, and flowing conversation. I got him the Banana Republic coat that I had been eyeing, and he got me a shutterfly album full of pictures he took of our first year together! It was really sweet. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

(Men's Edition)<div style="text-align: center;">Hello there! Sorry for temporarily falling off the blogosphere. I haven't worn much interesting stuff, with the exception of a night out bar-hopping, but my boyfriend has those pics on his camera. I have also been visiting my parents this week, so I haven't been at my most stylish. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">However, over the past couple days, I've been very interested in men's style. The reason for that is that I intend to make over my boyfriend. He has pretty good fashion sense already, but I'd like to see him mix it up more and add some variety to his clothes - I feel like he's always wearing the same things. I'd also like to see him layer more - I'm sure any of you fashionable ladies knows the merits of layering, and how it can add a lot of depth and interest to an outfit. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So he said that he's up for a bit of improvement, as long as I help him. But it will have to wait awhile, since 1) he's living out of a suitcase right now until he's done remodeling his condo and getting settled, and 2) he has a few pounds he'd like to lose first (teehee). In the meantime, I'm just browsing stores online and getting some ideas. And in my browsing, I've come across some items that I LOVE for him. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wore this outfit to go run errands in town. There's something I love about the combination of this military vest and floral lacy skirt - perhaps the edginess and girly charm balance each other out. I wore my oxfords, since I'd be walking a little over 3 miles to get into town and back. And I love my Juicy Couture bag - it has little cherry hearts all over it! And it's pink and green, which is a fab color combination. I bought the turquoise headphones at the Museum of Science and Industry gift shop, and on this day, I used them to listen to Jay Chou songs while I did my errands! </div>free spirit fashionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13116346979948420124noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991253108507966825.post-80977035470633423432010-08-22T21:05:00.000-05:002010-08-22T21:05:19.076-05:00What I'm Wearing - 8/21/10 and 8/22/10<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtff-4sp6J8hQ38soVTjtQieeFFodtK4oCUSBE-w92f-RMKs53BlEnMqRojiJqL2SkikhERhxBYVWuPG2GlevVslDNqg65tB-BzfKAc22QEoDQHSzqeBNaUKT8ZwXNAY8X0VtpZ_0nwyE/s1600/night+time+icon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtff-4sp6J8hQ38soVTjtQieeFFodtK4oCUSBE-w92f-RMKs53BlEnMqRojiJqL2SkikhERhxBYVWuPG2GlevVslDNqg65tB-BzfKAc22QEoDQHSzqeBNaUKT8ZwXNAY8X0VtpZ_0nwyE/s320/night+time+icon.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">8/21/10</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">night time</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">clubbing with boyfriend</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">First the bad: I've been a bit under the weather for the past 2 days, so that's why I've been unmotivated to do outfit posts. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But the good news is that my tripod arrived yesterday, so I can take my own pictures now. And the other good news is that a couple days ago, James and I did a little photoshoot with some of my favorite outfits. And this time I've actually edited the photos a bit - we took these in the evening, so the lighting was starting to disappear. I brightened up the colors and lighting a bit on my computer. So enjoy!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">dress: boutique (fashion tomato)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">shoes: aldo</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">earrings: gift</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">rose ring: not sure. i think wet seal.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This dress somehow reminds me of something a mermaid would wear, so I tried to keep that theme with my hair and makeup. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While my hair was wet after washing, I ran some aloe gel through it, and then scrunched a ton of mousse into it. I used a claw clip to clip it up all scrunchy while it dried, and sprayed some salt water mix over it. When my hair was dry, I simply let it down, and clipped my bangs back with a bobby pin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For my eye makeup, I used Lancome eyeshadow in "Bubbles" - it's a powder blue shadow with flecks of gold in it, which is great for those of us with olive/tan skin because it doesn't show up chalky, and doesn't wash you out. I dipped a brush in water and used a deeper turquoise (from an Urban Decay palette) to line my eyes, and then used black liquid liner (also Urban Decay), mascara, and highlight on the brow bone and in the inner corners.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway, James will be living with me temporarily until the apartment he's subletting becomes available for him to move in. So he will be taking lots of pictures for me in the mean time! Yay for quality photos!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Also, I have a ridiculous amount of work to do over the next couple days, so I apologize in advance, as I probably won't be commenting on everyone's blogs as much. I'll be back once the weekend hits though. =]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I tried taking a picture in a different location with the self-timer on my camera, but it didn't turn out well.

Until then though, I'm stuck taking mirror pictures. =/</div>free spirit fashionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13116346979948420124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991253108507966825.post-53061022303170303662010-08-04T21:02:00.001-05:002010-08-04T21:04:12.678-05:00xoxo<div class="MsoNormal">In my last post I mentioned how I’ve been struggling with finding a consistent style that is somewhat cohesive from day to day. In fact, this is not a recent problem – I’ve been experimenting with different looks since middle school or so, trying to find my fashion niche. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The thing is, I LOVE fashion in general. I love extreme looks, from preppy to gothic, because they are personal expressions that convey a certain attitude. If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s a blah wardrobe of plain t-shirts and jeans; what does that say about the wearer? It says that they’re a plain person. Who wants to make that kind of impression?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">However, over the years I’ve had trouble figuring out where on the fashion spectrum I lie. I’m currently in a kind of vintage/bohemian phase, but I’ve tried out preppy, punk, grunge, ghetto, and even forayed into the gothic for a bit. And that’s not to mention the other just plain weird phases, like when I would only wear kids’ clothes, or my brief tomboy phase, my black and red clothes only phase, or when I just gave up on fighting my high school’s strict dress code and just wore sweats all the damn time. I should post pictures sometime. I could cringe while everyone else is entertained, haha. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Anyway, I guess I have kind of an adventurous and edgy personality that wants to stand out from other people, but at the same time, I also don’t want to appear TOO out there, for fear that people will think I’ve lost my marbles. I still want to command respect and look classy, not goofy or like I’m trying too hard. Finding and achieving a look that encompasses all of that, though, has been difficult. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Well I’ve lately been struck with inspiration on how to go about blending my classy and quirky sides for the coming fall & winter. It all started when I was watching a Japanese drama called “1 Litre of Tears” a couple weeks ago. (On a side note, everyone should watch this at some point. It’s about a girl who, at age 15, is struck with an incurable and fatal disease – based on a true story. It really puts your life in perspective, and makes you literally cry a liter of tears.)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mYvems80rvo&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mYvems80rvo&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I was thinking that Aya looked so cute in her uniform, and lamenting the fact that my private high school didn’t have uniforms. (Though it’s just as well; the issue came up several times during my time there, and was always voted down because the proposed uniforms were ugly as hell.) I was wondering if there was a way I could get away with wearing sort of a modified school uniform look, even though I’m in college now. (see? I never met a look I didn’t like, it seems…) So I googled “school uniform look,” and a bunch of Gossip Girl images came up. I kept googling, and immediately became obsessed with the fashion; nevermind that I’ve only seen one episode of the show. Some of the stuff they put together is just genius, like Jenny’s purple tights with plaid jumper combo, or Serena's use of thigh highs, or Blair’s orange and yellow outfit. (By the way, I’m so glad that Blair embraces orange. I love wearing the color, and no one else seems to wear it!) I find the different styles of Blair, Serena, and Jenny really appealing, each in their own way. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So now I’m obsessed with the schoolgirl look for fall and winter. I’m thinking I’ll get a couple navy and plaid skirts (I LOVE plaid) and some button-downs, and then get creative with shoes, socks, tights, and accessories. I took an online teen vogue quiz titled <a href="http://www.teenvogue.com/magazine/polls/trendtest/gossipgirl">“Which Gossip Girl are You?”</a> and my results were that I’m a Jenny, which sounds pretty accurate. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.5pt;">JENNY</span></b></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
“<span class="apple-style-span">Master of changing styles, you transform your look regularly. Whatever your choose to wear, whether it be a cute dress with socks and heels or an edgy leather jacket and loose t-shirt combo, you've gotten over conforming and have decided to embrace your fashion-savvy side.</span>”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">However, I think I also channel Serena on my lazy days, so I’ll probably end up stealing her style a lot too. Like her, I wear boots a lot. And even though Blair’s preppy look is not normally my cup of tea, I love the way she pulls it off, so I’m interested in giving it a spin as well. Maybe start wearing more headbands like she does – that would look great with my new bangs. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But don’t worry, I’ll balance it out by not wearing “uniforms” everyday. The leading ladies on Gossip Girl wear lots of fashionable stuff during their time away from school too, so I’ll probably take some cues from their extracurricular outfits. And it’s looking like denim and military influences will be big for fall, which I’m excited for, so I’ll definitely be mixing those in with my plaids and creating some outfits around those trends as well. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Overall, it’s looking like it’ll be a very fashionable fall! Now if only I could get my hands on more money so I could purchase some cool stuff… =] </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Are there any other Gossip Girl fashion lovers out there? Should I start watching the show? Do you think it’s weird for a college student to wear plaid skirts?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well the good news is that now I'm back at school and at my apartment full time, I'm around my "good" wardrobe (I keep mostly older/out of season/blah clothes at my parents') and have more time for blogging.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The bad news is that today's outfit is basically just a reprise of yesterday's outfit, which is kind of boring. But I'm posting it anyway. There are a lot of style blogs out there where people only post an especially interesting/novel/quirky outfit that they've created. However, this is not one of those blogs. Rather than show how creative I can get in putting clothes together, I'm more interested in showing how it's possible to develop a cohesive look from day to day, and how to use and re-use the same clothes and limited wardrobe in interesting ways. I guess it's because this is something that I'm currently struggling with, and I've had a hard time finding inspiration in this vein. (I think I've finally found some good inspiration though, which I will share later!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I often wonder what those bloggers wear the other 80% of the time on the days they don't blog. And I also wonder where they wear some of their outfits to. And do they ever wear the same top twice? Because they don't document it in their pictures. Don't get me wrong; I'm not attacking that type of blog, and I've certainly garnered a lot of inspiration from them. But my aim is to answer some of those questions for my readers, which is why I always include what the weather was like when I got dressed, and where I wore my outfit. I guess this blog looks at fashion from a more practical, rather than artistic, viewpoint. Just to be different and helpful. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That was a long explanation. Anyways, like I said, today's outfit was similar to yesterday's because it rained again today, and I wanted to wear my pink and blue rainboots again. So I ended up wearing another short skirt, and another top with pink and ruffles. Still turned out cute though. Without further ado, the pics!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I pulled my hair back into a low side ponytail and curled it using a curling iron. I am so envious of people that have hair that doesn't fall! I realize that part of my problem is that at waist length, my hair is so long that it weighs itself down a lot - a few years ago when it was shoulder length, it held a curl easier. But even still, I can't seem to get it to stay more than an hour or so when I curl it. I think I'm going to ask for a steam setter for my birthday, which is coming up next month. Steam setters supposedly set even stubborn hair into curls.

I've been wanting to try them ever since I saw Katie Holmes rock this cute look. However, I started having flashbacks to when I was about 5 (the last time I rocked straight-across bangs, before growing them out at age 11), and started fearing I'd end up looking more like Suri than Katie.</div><br />

And I have a small forehead, so I wasn't sure bangs were suitable for that either. Suffice it to say, I was scared. So I put it off.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

So I pulled out my hair scissors, and in about 10 minutes, I had a new style! The results?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtdIXa2mHLxStG1aA4uUTsZuAinKCwWCosKjLmSsabkhLCJKo-Xm7dSXXXsVHVuvlCoohG1hPzmvaJVuu3GfQbAlZSzS-BPRnb3wyOzH427rBzHtwOcBAVtibSm4wji2Ai2R6XvHGiFE/s1600/DSC01408.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtdIXa2mHLxStG1aA4uUTsZuAinKCwWCosKjLmSsabkhLCJKo-Xm7dSXXXsVHVuvlCoohG1hPzmvaJVuu3GfQbAlZSzS-BPRnb3wyOzH427rBzHtwOcBAVtibSm4wji2Ai2R6XvHGiFE/s320/DSC01408.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Amazing. I love it. I'm still getting used to it, but I love it. Bangs seem to add polish to my hair, no matter what I do with it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVM_Ko2vdlI0TqT3-YxuHMe4JyLOgjhX_Bu_UREaB7AqUNydm5WpbrK772ovNxditQGuapaOYRANejExWHL8OeBNZT6fUVayVC6RK2vlIOK52SDrM_vSXQE_E3SR5FZgZVgzOTq2teqlM/s1600/DSC01395.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVM_Ko2vdlI0TqT3-YxuHMe4JyLOgjhX_Bu_UREaB7AqUNydm5WpbrK772ovNxditQGuapaOYRANejExWHL8OeBNZT6fUVayVC6RK2vlIOK52SDrM_vSXQE_E3SR5FZgZVgzOTq2teqlM/s320/DSC01395.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">PS - my hair really needs to get better at holding a curl. =[</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Plus, my mom says I look like Angelina Jolie in "Salt," which probably isn't a bad thing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://cdn.sheknows.com/articles/angelina-jolie-salt-black.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://cdn.sheknows.com/articles/angelina-jolie-salt-black.jpg" width="251" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So for anyone that's on the fence about bangs like I was, my advice is to just try it. You don't have to hack at your own hair like I did, cuz that's kind of crazy, but you should ignore all the advice out there about face shapes and whatnot and just do what you feel. That's what being free-spirited is all about!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>free spirit fashionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13116346979948420124noreply@blogger.com0
