I will be your Queen and you will be my King.

We found the most awesomest playground ever. It was built as a castle with little dungeons and hiding places. (no clue what the huge sausage thing is for though) We played around with it for awhile.

P.S. I got a new MJ "Off the Wall" tee! They had a red moonwalking tee (with sparkley socks), I loved the idea, but the idea was a bit too... bright for me.

Sure Takes Up Space.

My September 2009 issue of Vogue came in a few days ago. Absolutely ecstatic. 587 pages! (minus the 250+ pages of ads)...

The editorails are beyond gorgeous... especially love the vintagey one with Karen Elson and Sasha Privarova. If I can find the darn scanner, maybe I'll post some scans later.

P.S. Dreading the next 2 weeks. The wait is terrible. School on September 7th. Finished all my summer homework, but because I was born with Asian parents, studying never ends. Just finished The Things They Carried. Fabulous. Tim O'Brien is brilliant. I have to say one of the best "must-have-to-read-for-school" books ever.

My knees were shaking... like a heroin addict.

Polka-dotted Dress (vintage), Black Belt (H&M), Black Heels

We were at a piano recital on Sunday... my piano recital... the one I organized (at a senior's residence). And I was scared out of my jeepers. Not necessary the announcing part, but the part where I had to play, after 4 months of no practice. I made a few blunders, but otherwise everything went quite smoothly.

Afterwards, we went out for icecream at Rite-Aid. Yummmm... 3 scoops-- mint w/ choclate chips, chocolate brownie, and moose tracks.

P.S. The reason I organized this recital was so I get extra-curricular points for college. I don't deserve any bragging rights (especially since everybody else performed so beautifully, and I quite frankly... sucked.)

Rainbows came out of the Treasure Box.

It's called "pre-school-cleaning". Found some beads in return. Don't worry, I didn't wash them down the drain.

You've got your red, flowered teeny weeny one piece.

My little sister is quite a diva, all ready and posed for the photo ops.

Anyhoo... I am so jealous of my sister's clothes. (She also gets the BEST hand-me-downs... you think there's nothing to be jealous of there, but ho, there is). She also has the most adorable little bathing suit. It's red with little sunflowers on it. Absolute adorableness.

Middle-age Jean

It's the attack of the Giant Green Frogs!
Ha! You can barely see my pupils... :)

Jean Dress (handmedown), Black Socks, Combat Boots

Just came back from my chiropractor. (Yep, shockers, I have a bad back... minor scholiosis). Nothing serious... just a "massage".

Anyhoo, my mom presented me with this dress a day before. I've been needing a jean dress for quite awhile (along with a few other necessities... I really need to do some REAL shopping) and I forgot that my mom had one all along! It's everything I've asked for... filled with vintage feel and pretty butterflies. (If only it was a better fit...)

P.S. Oh! And I'm finished with my SAT Prep class... YIPEE! That explains my asian smiles here... or it can be from my yummy lunch of Asian takeout...

You Never Know Where They All Are.

Yellow Polo (Express), Grey Silk Shirt (handmedown), Jean Shorts (Bongo), Black Satchel (vintage), Brown Boots (Blossom)

I knew it... my sister has always been the cat and me the mouse.

Style.com Lookbook #11

Source: style.com

I made this lookbook out of a *insert random word*. I was looking at some runway shows and I realized how many double-toned outfits there were, so I just made a lookbook on it. I know, random right?

P.S. Terrible terrible thing happened to me in the past few days. My worst nightmare. My computer and hard disk completely crashed on me. Kinda my fault. Dad said there was no way that he'll be able to restore the files. So basically I lost EVERYTHING. All my documents, all my photos. Yes. Cry me a river. I'll explain more about the dreadful dealio later.

I don't want to sound like a drama queen, but this is quite terrible. Before, it was just a virus. However, we were at least able to retrieve the files and save it on a backup disk. Now, we can't even open the effing computer. *tears* I actually had some great shots of some vintagy stuff I would have liked to share...

P.P.S. On a happier note, it's my last week of SAT Boot Camp! (No kidding, it's actually called boot camp).

P.P.S. Oh and btw, I got my second wisdom teeth pulled out. MUCH MORE PAINFUL than the last one, let me tell you. I'm actually taking painkillers this time.

Dentist: We're going to prescribe you some painkillers.

Me: No need, I still have a bunch left from last time.

Dentist (questionably): How many did you take last time?)

Me: Like, 5?

*Dentist is in utter shock.*

My mom ran out to get me some painkillers, so I'm ok... for now.

Scanned by me!

I scanned a couple of pics from Free People's catalogue. I always get really excited when it comes into the mail, I love theire "carefree" photos and chic outfits. Plus the models are always absolutely stunning.

Orange and Octupi are a Match Made in Heaven.

Money Changes People

Could you spot my little sis?

Went to a swap meet today. There was this stand that held the most beautiful vintage clothing. At first, the owner was kinda "bitchy" but once I came with my mom (who had a wallet in her hands), she suddenly... transformed. Laughed silently to myself.
