current obsession

*Here is another page layout I have contributed for the newsletter at my internship.

Yes, it is true. I am oddly obsessed with sneaker wedges. It may be too early in the game for some  inexpensive knock-offs, but I am second guessing about putting a hole in wallet for one of the pairs above!

Decisions...decisions...

What do you honestly think about this trend?

coachella: day to night

Coachella is right around the corner! With its location being set in the California desert, and with temperatures ranging from 90°F during the day to 60°F at night, how would you incorporate your personal style for a day and night look?

Pardon me for my horrible media layout skills + I am currently obsessed with Polyvore. ^_^

6 page editorial

I am finally sharing an editorial I styled last year for my styling class. It is for an unknown publication and by that I mean it is not published nor will it ever be. This editorial titled, "Eastern Minimalist" was more tricky than it looks. A lot of time and effort was put into it; if it were not for my team (a few LIM students) and professor ...what a mess it would become. The concept was given to us by our professor and we had to put together a story/mood board. Overall, the process was overwhelming and fun. It is definitely a great experience and editorial styling would be something I'd like to pursue down the road! (Hopefully soon).

Have a great weekend. xo.

The Met's Muse:

The place I call my second home is the Metropolitan Museum of Art also known as the Met. The profusion of historical past compiled into this one building leaves me with more to discover each visit. It is a place filled with marvel and rich history from around the world. Most of the art exhibits portray permanent and temporary installations of art dating back centuries ago.

The museum is located along the eastern edge of Central Park on Fifth Avenue, which makes it highly attractive to tourists and convenient for the residents of the Upper East Side. With the museum located at a walking distance away from my apartment, I find it to be one of the most prestigious architectural buildings in the city. Both tourists and locals flock the steps every day to unify in this place of wonder. I became the devoted visitor.

A sophisticated look is essential to becoming a stylish museum-goer. I had always imagined myself in the perfect outfit to match the ambiance of the museum. Observing the attendees on the Met steps had made me realize how infatuated I was by the way people dressed. The museum-goers are typically dressed with sartorial elegance and polished style. For my choice of outfit, I chose subtle hues with dark blue accents to match the vibe of the Met which appeals to me as a dim and quaint place. I find it appropriate to sport a blush pink silk blouse by PRINGLE of Scotland along with oriental floral printed trousers from SuperTrash. On top of that, a Karl Donoghue shearling belted biker jacket is indispensable when it comes to pulling off a classic chic look with a modern twist. I also chose some accessory items that make a statement: a Cambodian coin ring by Low Luv x Erin Wasson, a two-finger lion’s head ring from Chloe + Isabel, and a Ben-Amun cord necklace. To finish off the entire ensemble, a pair of leather booties from Lucky Brand and a nightshade blue Alexa Mulberry bag is vital to making the outfit even more refined.

The Met offers more than just art and its stylish museum-goers; it is a place for inspiration, education, and interconnection.

***A little short article I recently wrote for my intern newsletter. The Winter transition into a Spring outfit, not too cold nor hot. I just decided I should share since I haven't updated this blog for a while. :) Happy Monday!
