oh you're so naive, yet so-

How could this be done by such a smiling sweetheart?


Hello you guys! Or shall I say, bonjour? ;)

 


I felt very Parisian in this outfit! I could see myself browsing fruits at a market in this outfit. I’d probably wear more sensible shoes though. I thought I would never be able to wear heels again after injuring my knee a few months back. I have finally gained the strength to wear heels again! I missed them so~ Everyone said I looked very cute in this outfit as well, which made me extra happy. I kinda threw this together last minute as I packed. The top I actually stole from my mom’s closet… I do that a lot! Some of my favorite pieces are ones I took from her.
 The floral crop top and lace top were both my moms!

I am drowning in homework, work and my to-do list. I owe lots of people things and I haven't hardly started >.<  I wish I were Hermione with a time turner, so I could get everything done and be able to relax as well. I have to finish this up now and work on a drawing I owe for example!

The skies are grey but she's gold



Woo first post of the new year! I have been doing lots of things in the meantime though.

I went to SacAnime winter earlier this month and WOW! The change in venue totally made this convention so much better. Having it at an actual convention center made it feel like a mini Fanime. Speaking of, I just booked my hotel for Fanime!! Gotta get working on my cosplays for it.

I recently bought a new coat and a watch from Urban Outfitters with my christmas money. This is my first time purchasing from them. The watch has zodiac animal assigned to each hour. My sign, Aries, is at 8 o'clock. :) My coat is also very warm! I love the soft feel of it as well.

If I touch anything, it freezes so I’m afraid to hold your hand


Because if you come close to me, your heart might catch a cold too


More pictures taken by Priscilla! I have worn this outfit many times but never gotten it pictured yet! I had a friend tell me that with my blonde hair she thought I resembled Marilyn Monroe! I think it's just cause I have short curly hair... but I appreciate the compliment (It's a compliment, right?)! You also can see my baby hands! I had the smallest hands in my grade. I'm sorry they are ugly form nail biting and aggressive over washing for work. Sanitizer is so harsh. :'(

I really like layering my tights like this, I love the look of sheer stockings but hate their fragility. Take a look at some lovely pictures for inspiration. All pictures are taken from tumblr unless otherwise sourced.


Sidenote: Son Ga In (first picture) is my kpop 'bias'. Biases are basically the artist you will love no mater what, as in die hard Bruce Springsteen fans or 'Beliebers'. So as a treat you get more of her:
^^^great read^^^

Are you shoppin' anywhere? Change the color of your hair?

Are you busy?


My friend Priscilla took some photos of me really quick yesterday. Thank you Priscilla! View more of her work here: http://500px.com/VioletVesper 
I bought these shoes on a whim in Berkeley because the shoes I were wearing at the time were starting to hurt my feet. I popped into a small shop called SwayChic after seeing these in the window. It's hard for me to wear heeled shoes after my knee injury so I kinda have to.... change my whole shoe collection. :'( I normally wouldn't have bought these but I love the subtle details in them like the cut out pattern on the side and the ropes poking through. They're comfy and wonderful and I'm so glad I bought them. I wear them all the time!

I'm still getting used to being blonde. I'll see my bangs in the corner of my eye and wonder why they look yellow.... Give me a few more weeks and I'll be fine. My hair isn't toning out though.... it's supposed to look platinum but it's still kinda yellow. I like it though! It's not very harsh.

Lookbook.nu features

Today as I'm browsing loobook.nu I'm seeing tons of great looks! There are a lot I personally wouldn't wear, but the details of boldness of them just work so well and in a way kinda respectable. Plus the photo editing is also cool in a few. Here they are! Give them hypes if you like them too!



When I first saw this I was freaking out over how anyone would wear that in public (Bravo to those girls!)  but then I noticed the subtle nuances of each detail. The brown and black neutral palette, black trim straw hat, the cat face sheer tights, the lipstick, even her eyebrows look rad.



This is the sweetest devil I've ever seen. Her blush and just pose/facial expression claim of the most innocent beauty, but the spikes in their selves are delicate and elegant. The sugariness of the pink in the background and her skirt just kills me.



At first I wondered why I liked this picture so much but I realized how unique the background was. The crisp whiteness of the background and her pants worked surprisingly well, invoke a fresh feeling. The I noticed the wooden desk! Plus her smile is mesmerizing.



The crispness of the photo and the gold, detailed accents are what sold this intriguing outfit.



You know the photos when the titles make you like it more? Who doesn't love Legos? The close up shot is so powerful and confident looking to me, complimented by the bold red shirt of course. The symmetry of his body is pretty cool too.



It is my belief that everyone looks good in purple. This picture provides a striking example for why more people (including me) that we should include more purple tones into our wardrobes. I gave her my heart for today.





The vivid, geometric, and colorful print of the shirt draws you into the picture, then you notice the black and white cat face print sweater yet doesn't clash. The bright yet not blinding hue of green compliments both tops as well. Dark and cuffed at the ankles demin with shiny laced dress shoes. It's like everything I love put together seamlessly. Had I been able to give another heart for today, it would've gone to this one.



The crisp black silhouette with the pops of mustard and white makes a great color palette. Then I noticed the background had the same color palette! Her pose and smile are darling, and we all know I love circle scarves more than any other accessory.


What have been your favorite looks lately?

Neon Gold

  Stare into my gigantic pores lol
I played with makeup today to see what could make my eyes stand out more. Ever since dying my hair blonde (jeez it's only been a week) I find it harder to accentuate my eyes.


oops cat's out of the bag I DYED MY HAIR BLONDE
 My favorite game is pretending I am as cool as Ellie Goulding


I love it and am toning it down to platinum. I can already see my brown hair growing through though! Gotta touch up dose roots.

What do you think?

Pacific Sunwear


Hi there! The Pacsun at my local mall is closing. :( This was my second time in there and the staff were so nice and lovely like before. I feel bad for them all having to find new work.

I bought a nice infinity scarf. It's a light material and very soft, but it's super warm and cozy! Great for the winter. I bought some cute bracelets with gold heart designs too, and some belts since my favorite belt broke!

I think I would be able to update this more if I had someone to photograph for me. It's so much easier to take pictures when someone else does it for you.

I hope you all are enjoying your extra hour of sleep!
