Thanks so much to Papercut magazine & everyone involved!!! It looks amazing!!!

dressed down in my new neighborhood

(Waffle knit sweater from Korea, sparkle & fade knit shorts from urban outfitters, vintage necklace, lace-up booties, Proenza Schouler PS1 bag, stacked bracelets from Forever 21 and DIY, vintage rings.)

The knit shorts is so soft and cozy, they upgraded my outfit into something a little less slovenly for this in between season. I worn it with a waffle knit sweater I bought last winter in Korea. Always love a good waffle knit!

Tribal Trends

Tribal took over the runways with vibrant prints, warm tones and rich accessories. Cultural appropriation never goes out of style, I am so in love with this look ever since Pendleton/opening ceremony came out! I just don't have enough of it yet, give me more!!!

I like to play around with what I have in my closet, I paired this layered vintage skirt with a beaded/ studded silk top here. But this time, I wore it with a Marc by Marc Jacobs ikat sweater to Nicole Miller show at Lincoln center.

OMGOMGOMG!!! I can't believe Kate Lanphear was sitting right in front of me!!!!! I LOVE her!!





Nicole Miller's Spring/Summer 2012 show burst onto the runway with a blast of colors and prints! The show was called Fast Forward Rewind, and it had a bit of the past in the 1980s styles on board and some 1990's looks too. According to the show notes “the speed of wheels in motion..the velocity of a bicycle racing towards the goal" was the designer's inspiration. The whole collection reminded me of rainbow. She uses the rainbow range of color so brilliantly with its cut, patchwork and mixed the prints with the stripe. It's so young, fresh and playful. I love pretty much everything about it and I can really see myself buying from this new Spring / Summer collection!

FNO NYC 2011

We celebrated the 3rd Fashion's Night Out on Thursday. "The city of Soho was insane!!! It's like a crazy town, it's like a zoo. We literally got so overwhelm by the city because of all the people that came out! It was unpleasant in certain spots, there were long lines everywhere to get into stores, lots of people drinking with plastic cups strewn on the ground, it almost felt like a festival or some street fair. It's not about fashion and shopping anymore. It gets more insane year after year. It's overwhelming!!

Before I left for FNO!
