I went through a period where I was obsessed with colored or patterned pants. Although I really love the J Brand waxed denims, I don’t own a pair… yet. I’m not sure if I can justify spending $200+ on a trend, although I would probably be able to wear them forever more, depending on the color. I did manage to find a pair of pink pants at Urban Outfitters during the holidays though. For $19.99. I don’t mean to toot my own horn (that was a lie) but I’m a @#$%ing awesome shopper, sometimes. I’m seeing a lot of pastels rolling in for Spring and I’d love a pair of denim in mint green, lavender or creamsicle. Forever 21 seems to have some, but the quality and fit is always a hit or miss for me. Have you guys seen pastel denims elsewhere?

In Vegas, I shopped. But I shopped smart for the most part, right? So that’s okay, right?

It’s the year of the Dragon! Where are all muh dragons at? Being a tiger, I had to keep true to my roots. Hence the leopard (it’s a cat, same difference) cardi, and um, furry hat. Because cats also have fur.

This is my 2nd time wearing my Russian hat. I wore it to dim sum yesterday and I probably looked crazy. I say that because all of “my people” were staring at me. Elderly Chinese grannies seem to enjoy staring though, without being polite enough to look away once you catch them and stare back. So, maybe they were just being…. normal.

On another note, my weekend was great. It was partially anti-social, chill, and laid back. I spent Saturday night with 3 friends drinking super-charged golf carts, eating Sour Patch Bunnies, watching YouTube make-up tutorials of Promise Phan transforming into Angelina Jolie and other celebs, and episodes of Happy Endings. I was the only girl. What? I was the only girl. Um, awesome.

Just a quick snapshot of my latest accessories. They all have a bit of  rocker, a bit of edge and some attitude to them. And all for a very decent price too. With the amount of accessories I have and the frequency in which my taste changes, inexpensive is probably the best way to go, especially for costume jewelry.

H&M x Versace jacket | Wilfred Free tee | Forever 21 jeans

Before you question the meaning of my post title, don’t. It’s not worth your time. I’ll explain later.

What you’re seeing in this outfit post is just that — one of the H&M x Versace collaboration jackets. No, I did not line up over night to get dibs on any of the items. Nor was I invited. In fact, I had no idea how the whole thing worked, so I wandered into H&M the day of, hoping to get a glimpse of the collection and oh, did I. From behind metal gates. In my head I shouted but I’m Bunnie Bar!! Yeah, that has no pull.

I gave up on the H&M x Versace collection after seeing that everything was gone just a day after the launch. Meh, I’ll live. I visit H&M pretty regularly, so I wandered in on another day and couldn’t make it past the Versace section because the guy I was with caught glimpse of something amazing and started gravitating towards it. The jacket. Someone returned it. And it was a size 2. Fate. Shit.

So after some justification on why this is a @#$%ing awesome piece, I agreed and purchased it — just to hold on to and decide if I really wanted it. It never made it back to the store. I now own it. I OWN YOU.

Still a little intimidated by the crazy jacket, I wore it to the Jay-Z and Kayne concert. And shit, did I get a lot of comments. From random dudes. It was awkward. And exciting. It’s crazier than the other jackets in the collection, but with the help of my awesome male stylist (not gay) who inspired my first outfit, I think I’ll get some good wear out of it.  What would you wear this with?

XO,

PS – I don’t think I’m fat. Nor am I a stick. Nor… would it really matter. Just so happens that I received the perfect comment on my last post which I used for the title of this post. You know, since I’m in shorts and all. It was meant to be.  Thanks for the ammo. You earned it. xo

Sometimes I wish I was a toddler so I could wear puffy tutu skirts, stylish little booties and cute flowers in my hair….. for cheaper. I already wear puffy tutu skirts. It just costs more. Except for this awesome metallic sweater I found from H&M. I was contemplating on getting the normal human size one for $40 or something until I saw it — the exact same sweater in little people size at little people prices. For $25, it’s a steal. Size 14Y. Not sure if being the same size as a possibly pre-pubescent kid is anything to be proud of, but I’m going to make a trip to the kids section every time I’m in H&M from now on.

Anyways, my initial thoughts on this before I got sidetracked was: WTF. Why are kids clothing these days so much cuter and stylish than it was when I was a kid? When I was a young and uglier, everything I wore matched. Red top, red pants. Jean jacket, jeans bottoms. Top with cartoon cats puked all over it? Bottoms with cartoon cats puked all over it! Maybe that’s why I was so ugly….

Here is just one example:

As I’m writing this post, it’s suddenly dawning on me that this might not be how all kids dressed in the 90′s… and I might actually be the only one. Oh gawd. Anyone else look this ridiculous?

It’s that time of the year again. I love Q4. It consists of Halloween, a bunnie birthday, Black Friday, my favorite holiday of all time — Christmas, Boxing Day and shortly after that, NYE. This year, I’m going to embark on a magical journey. A magical journey to Las Vegas to party among almost naked girls for Halloween, and to eat, shop and woot woot at Chippendales for my birthday. I’m @#$%ing excited. See you on the other side.

XO,

So, with obsession comes buying ridiculous amounts of accessories, and wearing (sometimes also ridiculous amounts of) accessories… all the time. If you’re not the accessories kind-of-gal, there’s something severely missing from your life. Let me convince you…

1. Vanessa Mooney girl in the stone necklace
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs predator stretch buckle bracelet
3. Low Luv x Erin Wasson monocle ring
4. Low Luv x Erin Wasson Metal Crystal Stud Earrings
5. Langoliers kim ring
6. Elizabeth and James anchor ring
7. Pamela Love porcupine needle drop earrings
8. Pamela Love crystal cuff
9. Citrine by the Stones long ring
10. Giles & Brother tiny safety pin studs

Not convinced? Don’t worry. I’m not done.

here are 3 reasons why every girl should wear accessories

1. They’re great conversation starters, ice breakers. Perfect for making new girlfriends, if you care to.
2. If you wear something eye-catching, boys will talk to you. They will either tell you they love your swagger, or ask you WTF you’re wearing.
3. In the event of an emergency, they can be used as weapons of self defense. Sometimes.

Oh, they do a little something, something to kick your look up just a notch.

XO,

As I was going through my Polyvore account, I came across this set I created in response to a question from Katy of TwentyFourCarat: What would you wear on a first date?

Below is the outfit I put together 2 years ago. It’s still an outfit I’d wear. Girly and feminine, but not like you’re trying to impress him. Besides, he should be the one trying to impress you.

I’m not sure if I’m okay with the fact that I seem to have the same taste as I did 2 years ago. Fashion and style change so frequently… shouldn’t I have evolved in some amazing way? Or is it okay if your underlying style remains the same?? Am I… boring!? Or am I going to become one of those mothers who wear what they wore back in their youthful days… thinking it’s still okay??

What would you wear on a first date? Would it have been the same 2 years ago?

XO,

1. Juicy Couture Kissing Birds Ring
2. Kara Ross Chunky Python Bangle in Ivory
3. Uranium Delamora Braided Bracelet
4. Uranium Raden Rose Earrings
5. Linda Macdonald Puffed Silver Heart Stud Earrings
6. Kara Ross Metal Stripe Snakeskin Cuff
7. Marc by Marc Jacobs “Fluro” Turnlock Bracelet
8. David Yurman 15mm Prasiolite Cushion on Point Ring

Happy Valentine’s Day.
