i'm still here

I would give you the sorry excuse of not being able to blog because I still don't have a computer and school keeping me busy... but in the end it's all a bad excuse. Just a quickie post to let you know that I'm still here! Distracting you with images of Emily Blunt in jaw-dropping gowns by Dior and Givenchy.

Half Japanese/Brazilian model. What a creature?!! YOWZER!

just too cute

I'm currently sitting in front of a library computer at my school trying to print-out multiple PDF files for different lectures while getting extremely distracted doing other stuff, i.e, blog surfing like a crazed and internet-starved person which is funny because I'm actually pretty stuffed due to all that dak-galbi (bbq chicken) that I scarfed down for lunch.

I thought I'd post some of these images of Nicole Richie which I'm assuming were taken post-Harlow due to all the jewellery she's promoting. She looks so cute here.

Blue Jeans

I totally love a crisp white shirt paired with denim. Minus the ciggy of course.

It was the last day of summer holidays yesterday and I can't believe I'm back at school already.

I have a gazillion textbooks to buy and at the top of my list is a new computer, darn it//

I know it's a totally strange pairing of words but that's the vibe I'm getting when I see these pictures. I mean how else are you going to understand maxi dresses and neoprene in the same editorial.

I'm feeling really cut off from the world without television and the internet. Is it technological withdrawal, you say? Though I have replaced the two with books and drinking (never at the same time,lol). Though I should probably scratch the former out of my diet. All that tequila is sooooooo not helping my liver.

I'm back. I'm currently writing this post at an internet cafe because the new place I've moved into doesn't have any connection. Over the past two days I've unpacked all my stuff and still managed to squeeze in some shopping. A jersey maxi dress, a couple of tee-shirts, white capris (sooooo into capris at the moment!) and the most comfortable wedges in existence that make me 8cm taller and still leave me smiling at the end of the day.

Can a girl ask for anything more? ;)

The maxi was a little bit of an impulse buy (look a few posts down at MK) and I'm still wondering whether or not I can pull it off. Way to go me for buying it in such a conspicuous colour- coral red.

Moving out tomorrow so I'm squeezing in a quick post before I log off and pack the computer. Have an awesome Friday night guys. I'll be spending mine within huge boxes.
xoxo.

The thing that I like most about booties is that they're so versatile. It's a total given that I'll be wearing them out during the colder months but I can see myself sneaking them into a few of my summer outfits too. I'm thinking floral prints, bodycon dresses, white ruffled skirts or paired with short shorts. I was going wild over Rachel Comey's shoes (interview I posted about) before so I thought I'd show-and-tell by going more in-your-face.

miu miu clutch

Usually I find that Ashley's clothing choices run on the same style wavelength as moi but nowadays I'm surprising myself by posting more pics of Mary-Kate. I really want try out the maxi-dress/long skirt look, I have an inkling that it'll be super comfortable.

Mara Hoffman Swim Resort 2011 Collection

Photo credit: Randy Brooke via People’s Revolution.

"This season, Hoffman’s muse goes on a mystical journey through the jungle, visiting crystal caves, rivers, oceans; a tongue-in-cheek Amazonian tribeswoman in a bikini following her White Horse spirit guide. This translated into a variety of unique silhouettes and eye-catching, bold and colorful prints, including a psychedelic “Batik”, “Mystic” (geometric, with crystal shapes and the All Seeing Eye), “Crystal Collage” (colorful kaleidoscope with dark and light crystals), “Chief” (Native American influence), “Jungle” (African influence) and “Odyssey” (fluid lines, lighter colors)".

Mara Hoffman = Psychadelic print swimsuits that rival Pucci. If they sold Mara Hoffman in Seoul you'd see me by the pool 24/7 in one of those itty-bitty bathers.

p.s OMG. That pastel print poncho. Come into my closet babe.

You know how much I love Clém

I'm totally obsessed with the bowler hat outfit. Hands down my fave and I have that picture plastered eveywhere on my personal belongings. I'm telling you I'm obsessed. Everyone thinks I'm crazy but maybe I just like dressing up like a boy.

On Olivia Palermo? Definitely those long and lean legs of hers.
The accessories in this editorial- hats and booties- are totally killer.

two tone

VPL Jewel Dispersion bra and undies- blue/black.

i've heard from somewhere that underwear from VPL fits like a glove. i would love to test-drive that theory.

food & books & good company.

Doesn't get any better than that.

First 3 pictures: Spoonrace is my favourite place to eat out in the Ehdae (이대) area. It reminds me of the cafes on Degraves Street in Melbourne, Australia. Reminds me of home.
Last 3: Cafe latte and mag reading @ a book cafe. The airconditioning there is amazing, do you know how hot it is in Seoul nowadays?!!! I don't even want to step outside to throw out the rubbbish.

just close your eyes and breathe
