Style.com Lookbook (#5)

Pop-art was huge in the sixties. It's now revisted by many designers. I get ecstatic when I see designers feature graphic designs on their clothing. I think it adds a unique, fun, and innoncent twist to their clothes. Graphic can range from crazy prints to "cartoon pics" to faces. (This is so wierd, because I actually don't wear a lot of graphic t-shirts, because that's not my sense of style; but when there's this really AWESOME print... I HAVE TO WEAR IT!)

Wow, I honestly can't believe that another one of my lookbooks would be featured (*cough*yes! And it's my 5th one!) For a week, http://www.style.com/ didn't update anything (I think they were on break); right before that "break", my lookbook "Color Me Purple" was featured. (You can go to my previous website, http://www.girlstheme.com/ to view my previous lookbooks... :)) If you click on my username, jenhz, you will be able to see all my public lookbooks. The past lookbooks that were featured (in this order were) "White and Black Affair", "Menswear Inspired", "My Big Fat Bow" (which they featured as "Take a Bow"), "Color Me Purple", and now "My Graphic Love". We'll see if there'd be a six... :)

Perfectly Siri-ous.

I absolutely love Siri Tollerod. (slash over last "O"). She's a fabulous model, and I think she is absolutely gorgeous. Although I couldn't find any "street-pictures" of her, where she's wearing "normal clothes" (not really, since usually the way models' dress are pretty OUT THERE). So if anyone finds any pictures of her wearing "street-clothes" then please tell me... and consider yourself lucky, because I spent 30 minutes trying to do so.

It's winter, I wonder where's the land?

Red/Black/Gray Scarf (Bass), Purple Skinny Jeans and Yellow Sunglasses(Wetseal warehouse--$5 and $1!), White turtleneck (mom's), Black Assymetrical Zipper Jacket (Charlotte Russe--$10)

To fill our lack of family bonding, we went to the mountains--Mount Baldy, CA (It was no Mammoth, but there was snow and gorgeous landscapes.... but... Are you kidding me? Baldy?!).

We were initially going to spend the whole day there, but let's just say that for the one hour or so, all we did was slide down this 3 feet slope on a snowboard. For the record, my sister had a lot of fun and quite the daredevil. I took loads of pictures of trees, mountains, and... snow. My dad was the "snow-thrower" (not at people, at the ground...for friction?) My mom was the human-block (she blocked the person and the board from falling into this ditch of rocks and dirt-snow).

My little sister dominated the slope; she was some slider.

At first, I was "anxious" about sliding down a slippery slope (regardless of the length) and crashing into big, sharp, cold rocks. (Fine! I was scared!) But I actually wasn't as nervous or afraid as I put myself to be; my little sister was so ready to be "the queen of the mountains", I liked seeing her proud and happy. She liked being the older sister, as she sat in front of me (on the board) to make sure "I knew I was safe". (I wish I could post a picture of my sis, but parents won't let me). She's only 7, so it was quite cute.

I needed a break anyways.

P.S. I haven't played in snow since Canada, which was almost 8 years ago; I forgot how much I missed it. Couldn't make a snowman though... sucked.

Tweety really is a "Putty Cat".

A little bird told me that if I wanted to go far in life, I needed to act on it. The little bird also told me that if I really set my heart on what I wanted to do, I should prove it. And little "Tweety" here wouldn't stop nagging me every second Tweety gets the chance to, so I decided to actually showcase what I have.

I started a website in June 2008, but since it didn't work out so well, I decided to start a new one. (Plus, my dad was the one who secretly created the website for me showcasing all my crappy poems that I wrote when I was 11...) Since 2008 is ALMOST coming to an end, here's to a new start.

My name is Jennie. I'm 100% Chinese (I speak it, kinda read it, used to be able to write it, but slacked off since I passed my Chinese SATs.) I'm currently 15 and a sophmore in high school. And I CURRENTLY live in Aliso Viejo, California (small, yet new city... only 2 miles radius? built a little more than 10 years ago?) I was born in Shenzhen, China (and yes, I got my citizenship this year... as in 2008) I used to live in Canada, which was snowy and beautiful (but America held a "better future".) I have a little sister who is (currently) 7 years old, who I love and adore to death.

And I'm hoping to "land" myself into a career of fashion.

That being said, my style ranges from girly with an edgy... edge to punky with a frilly flair (uurrghh, I need to stop trying so hard... ;D). I love making adding a bit of modern to a bit of vintage. I fall for elegance, but I also think that childish details is MUCH needed. I, like everyone else, has to have a dark, rocker side, but sometimes I'll let myself settle for a preppy, schoolgirl love (*note to self* need to get myself a decent blazer!) As much as I fawn over designer clothes, (ahhh... a Marchesa dress... oh look! Rag & Bone outfits... GAH! Balmian's Spring collection! I've clearly gone to heaven...) I pride myself on finding the cheap and affordable. I get joygasms when I find a cute dress under $8, or some wearable jeans under $10. It's not about how much money you paid for the clothes, but how you wear it. Wanna hear my dirty little secret? Half of my jacket came from my mother's closet. Yep. (Adding a bit of modern to a bit of vintage... ;))

As you can see, my style is a wide range. Like every style blogger would say, "I wear what I feel like wearing".
