Fresh colors

Just when I stopped obsessing over a dream bag -- the much coveted Celine Boston and Valentino Rockstud clutch) --- behold the minds behind Proenza Schouler comes out with their classic PS11 in spring bright colors! Color blocking has never looked this good.

I'm in love with this clutch. The colors are spot-on for Spring.

Me likey.

White & Black

Happy New Year!

Enjoyed this past weekend with a relaxing massage during the day and a great meal at dinner.  Visited a great restaurant in town and it made me wonder why I haven't tried this place before! A re-visit is a must in the near future. Beef ternderloin and lamb was on our menu -- both amazing dishes.  Ended the fabulous night being a part of the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, and bar hopping throughout the night.

 

mmmmm... yuuuuuum

 

On to the next...

 (kept it classic with a white tux blazer -- change from loubs to f21 half way through the night)

Oh, and happy 7 too long years Zukeroni. :)

Holiday colors

Merry Christmas!

Thought I'd be in the holiday spirit with my outfit and wore a sequined top with bold orange red lipstick to celebrate the birthday girl turning the big 25.   Nothing says the holidays like sequins and red lips!

I was never one to wear red lips due to my pale white skin, but this orange-red shade is suuuper for those with a light complexion.  Perfect shade of red with a bright pop of orange to keep things fresh. AND the best part, it stayed put throughout the entire night of cocktail drinking.

j.crew sequin top, Free People leather skirt, sam edelmans heels, NARS 'heat wave'

In the Moment: patent loafers

aldo loafers

In love with my new patent loafers.  My other pair of black flats were to the point of no return.  Quite embarrassing to walk around in.  Picked these up and it's such a great alternative.  AND they didn't cost me a fortune. Love cheap thrills!

Basics

Here I am.  Taking a temporary break from blogging, but of course continually keeping up with the fashion scene, just not taking part in it as often as I would like.

Some 'new' things that I added to my closet:

Shimmer Top (Gap)

Stripe top (so prada-esque, f21)

Denim top (finallly! found a perfect denim shirt I love and fits so well, topshop)

Leather pleated skirt (finally! as close as it comes to the much coveted Zara version, Free People)

Super sunglasses, thrifted top, UO shorts, Celine bag, jcrew flats

Checked out the Kava festival again this year at UH Manoa campus -- very candid shot, thus the unflattering  photo of me.  The wavering weather kept our stay here short -- sun, rain, sun rain.... 

BTW,  I heart my new sunglasses.  Mix of the norm ray ban wayferers mixed with a slight edge.

 

so HIGH

Found my new hi-top that I'm really obsessed with right now.
Looks like an average hi-top, but drooool, it's 3.1 Phillip Lim hi-top.
So not ostentatious, so subtle. so ME.
I need now. Ok, not need, more like I wish.
Boyfriend, are you reading? 
Juuust kidding, not really, sort of, no im joking, ok maybe not, nah I'm just joking, no I REALLy want :)

Get on my feet NOW.

Zukeroni, I hope you're still reading ;)

Street Style

Cool Factor.
Shes definitely got it.
Every piece of item she has on, I want it on me. 
My inspiration of the day.
Swoooon.

All black -- check.

Jimmy Choo sneakers -- double check.

Classic black prada bag -- check

Statement jewelry -- check.

One of the best fashion inspirations come from street style -- images of personal style reflecting the current runway fashion.  Average girls mixing in their own personal touches with in-the-moment pieces make the fashion scene such an eclectic mix and gives me a pool of inspiration to draw from.

Currently on my radar:

- a pair of hi-tops
- more arm candy
- Mesh over-sized sweater
- Pleated skirts
- loafers
- slouchy trouser
- Charlotte Olympia heels (this should be considered more of a 'wishlist')
