Just like how all the cool kids back in my day (because I’m so old now) were taking online college classes in school (so they can skip out on actually being in class and fall victim to procrastination) the color tangerine can kind of do the same — easily give you what you need (style), so you can focus on other things (boys).

Tangerine has been named one of the it colors this year, and spring marks a great season to add this color to your wardrobe. Although this bright color adds a pop of happiness to your outfit, it can be intimidating and may be fatal to the weak. But, it does look damn good. Want to see how you can make this trend work for you?

If you tend to shy away from bright colors, try adding just a pop of tangerine to your outfit. Bright orange handbags and accessories look great with neutrals, and tangerine also compliments shades of blue and gold beautifully. If you’re obsessed with shoes like me, try orange shoes with denim or khaki. You can also wear this color as a statement piece on your nails or jewelry. Adding tangerine in any one of these ways will definitely brighten up your outfit!

If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, you can venture into wearing a bit more than just a pop of tangerine. Tangerine looks great on dark skin, olive skin, and fair skin tones, and since we’re moving into the warmer part of the year, one of the best places to wear tangerine is at the beach or pool, so get your tan on! An orange bathing suit makes a strong statement, and gives the skin a beachy glow. If the idea of orange Lycra scares you, try a tangerine-colored cover up. The flowy fabric looks especially great over navy or white bathing suits.

There are many other ways to bring tangerine into your everyday wardrobe. One great option is a tangerine trench coat. Brightly colored coats are a great hit in the spring, and a bold jacket like this can be worn on top of any outfit to really kick it up a notch. If you normally stick with wearing neutrals, tangerine outerwear is an easy way to incorporate color into your look. You? Boring? Never. Tangerine colored sweaters are also a good option and look great with jeans or neutral trousers. Try a tangerine t-shirt or tank-top under a neutral toned cardigan and if you’re a real tangerine lover, try rocking a dress in this tone. This is a real attention grabber, and looks good on most skin tones. Try pairing it with neutral shoes and gold jewelry. If you’re daring, tangerine shoes with a tangerine dress make a real statement.

Whether or not you’ll be taking some online classes or distance education courses, I assure you that incorporating tangerine into your wardrobe is much more fulfilling and exciting. So, to tangerine or not?

Hi everybunny!
I just created a Facebook page for my blog! Will you please “LIKE“ it? Much appreciated! :)

waiting like a lady

When people point out that my jeans are ripped, I tell them I got beat up. They shut up.

It’s starting to brighten up outside,  which is why I’ve been frolicking around, being silly and all… not that I need that to prompt any sort of weirdness to come out. I’m also happily fluttering around because in 2 days, I will be on a plane to Asia! Sometimes I get a little obsessed with working, running errands and doing all the bunnie things I have to do (and I hate to admit it, but sometimes I think I enjoy stress) but I’m more than ready to shut down my brain for a bit and just live life.

On another note, aside from going to Taipei, I’ve officially booked a flight to Hong Kong as well. I have more family + friends there, so I’m very, very excited. I visited HK when I was 5, and that was the only place I ever went to in Asia. I remember that time when…. I don’t remember anything. I should probably start packing soon. How far in advanced does one start packing? And how much should I pack? I’m clearly inexperienced in this. What should I do on the plane for 13 hours? God, I hope I can sleep. Will I be jet lagged? Is that inevitable? Can you remind me of important things I need to bring?

Help.

Exactly one week to go before I’m off to Asia! It’s a bit surreal and I’m totally not prepared — there’s still so much to do, and seriously, so little time. April’s always a busy month with Easter (aka my 2nd birthday), and all the other real birthdays going on.

On another note, I went back to black. My hair that is. What do you think? I’ve gotten mixed opinions that it makes me look younger or makes me look older and oh-so-sophistique. I’m at that age where I’m not sure if I want to look older or younger. Problem.

One last note, I wanted to send some — birthday love to Kaz SVP – from Flagsh1p Lifestyle Inc. Wishing you a fabulous day and an amazing year. :)

Green, sea foam, mint! I can’t get enough of it. The trend this season is all about color, and this whimsical, cool, mint green is totally a must have. I’ve been going into stores and secretly touching, smelling, rubbing minty freshness all over myself. So if you’ve been doing this for the last month, it’s okay. You’re not alone. If you haven’t, I suggest you head to the nearest mall, stat. Mint green is going fast. And if you’re not fortunate enough to get a taste, you may have to head into the grocery store to… get your fix. I wonder what rubbing mint leaves on your face is like.

With mint hues seriously in every store and line, it’s easy to incorporate into your summer wardrobe. And if you’re usually not the type to wear color, mint is really just a very subtle change! Think of this cool color like a modification on your usual neutrals — wear it in place of beiges, whites and tans. My favorites in  mint clothing are skinnies and loose tops. Pair them with completely casual pieces like a t-shirt or denim jeans, and you’ll still look amazingly fresh and chic!

How are you staying minty fresh this season?

 It’s the hat again! I’m definitely getting some good wear out of it. Yesterday, I mentioned that I should post some of my work outfits once in a while. Today, I am doing just that. (And I may have taken these photos previously.)

A random memory hopped into my head the other day, and I thought I’d share. There was this one time, in band camp…. just kidding…. I was driving home from who knows where. As I drove through an intersection during traffic hour, my eye caught sight of this huge sign stuck on the lamp post: $5 manicure. Immediately, my eyes widened and I began to fill with pure excitement… Whaaat? $5 bitches!… until I realized it said: $5 manure. I didn’t end up getting it, obviously. That was it. The end.

If you’ve already heard this story, then…. whatever, you.

I suddenly had the urge to revive this fedora… after owning it for about 2 years and probably only wearing it once. I think I’ve worn it 4 times in the past month. That’s record breaking. I have an un-surfaced attraction to all sorts of hats and headpieces. Sometimes, I end up buying them. And when I do, they end up collecting dust in my closet. I haven’t gotten quite comfortable with wearing something on my head. I feel kind of silly. And it makes me feel kind of self conscious. Like the feeling I get when wearing glasses. That shit lowers my self-esteem. Ten fold. Even if you think I “look good in them.” Now sunglasses…. that’s a different story. Are you a hat person?
