I really want to go platinum blonde. I'm just not ready... yet.

The ladies at Oxenrose in Hayes Valley are always so amazing. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my color...

Thanks for all the kind comments on my previous posts! I've been traveling like crazy and is just getting back into the swing of things again. I hope to visit my fellow blogmates when I get a chance!! xoxo

the small things

I'm headed to New York July 4-9. I'll be shooting the lookbook for Triskaidekaphobia jewelry and going to an important meeting. Manicured fingers crossed.

Disney Photo Diary

A few fun photos and outfits from the happiest place on Earth.

Ring from Modern Appealing Clothing (M A C), Nixon watch, Margiela bracelet

Stacked gold links are my new favorite thing to put on. And I love the way this bronze ring looks with a little bit of wear and tear...

céline resort

Céline Resort 2012

Flower porn and fishnets. Two ideas I've been obsessed with for quite some time. Oh Phoebe, I love you. For as much as I can feel such emotion.

In other news, I bought a new camera, an Olympus PL2, so I'll try and be better about updating with personal pictures. In case you're wondering, most outfit shots like this one are taken with a Panasonic Lumix. I've also been playing around with my new Flip Ultra HD video camera courtesy of Stylelist. And I can't wait to show you what I've been filming. :)

Zara pants, JMD scallop tank


Wearing a chiffon tank embroidered with hand sewn beading. I love wearing this top for the summer! The scalloped beads are cold to the touch and give the top a slight weight that’s fun to wear.

Finally found the entire spread. It's glorious.

At the same time, it looks like fashion is becoming less and less creative. That’s kind of the contradiction: as fashion becomes more and more popular, it’s less creative because there is really less space for strange or original ideas in such a large system. I think it’s probably a growing crisis. It’s not just that designers today are less creative than they used to be — the environment is less creative.

you have to want it

Nothing says summer quite like summer love on the SF Muni. In matching red hoodies.

Love is a concept I've struggled with for quite some time. I believe I've been in love once in my life. When I was 17-years-old, I fell in love with a Japanese punk with blue hair. He played in this horrible hardcore band called Pac Man Softy (abbreviated P.M.S. of course). God. They were awful.

the look of it all

I ordered this Maison Martin Margiela 11 bracelet a few days ago from Yoox. I'm slowly transitioning back to gold jewelry. And I think would look really nice layered with my Nixon gold watch that I always wear.

Alexander Wang x Terence Koh Mask Collaboration

Have you been to the new Alexander Wang online store? Of course you have. I'm particularly impressed by the design of it. In general, shopping has become almost painful for me. There's very little that I want. But I'm contemplating this linen romper...

Loving the styling in the latest Nasty Gal shoot. Chillin.

Because I've always been a supporter of evolving online content. These iPad apps just keep getting better and better. It's like story telling for a new generation. And I just love the way she moves. Download the app.

and the winner is...

Thanks again for the great tweets guys. It was such a pleasure reading all of your responses, truly. And I think Ronja's entry captures what I envision the perfect summer to be. Congrats to Ronja from Norway! Please email me to claim your prize.

In the meantime, it's finally beautiful outside, so please enjoy some music from one of my favorite bands of all time ... And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. Soooo many good memories attached to this.

when you wake up

I feel a lot of pressure and obligation to maintain this blog, finish my books, go back to school or find a second career, in the meantime, having to deal with disappointments, unreliable work partners, cruel spectators, my parents, and the fact that everyone around me is either getting married or breaking up.

For a while it was pretty easy for me to shut down. They say true equanimity is about balance and acceptance in any situation. If you go too far, like I did, you start to feel indifferent. So I withdrew, I didn't care, and I numbed myself to the need to act and do something about my life.

This blog is an extension of the type of person I am, who I want to be, and what I want other people to see. And for the last six months, I admit, I wasn't so sure about a lot of those things.

But I feel much better now.
