denim jacket-vintage from the rose bowl
white shorts-PlayMe sample
leopard diego-Alexander Wang
Hug it Out shirt-UNIF
crochet cardigan-Double Zero (from Santee alley)
platforms-Margiela

These are actually my prescription glasses that I dork out in when I'm too lazy to put in contacts.
I love this denim jacket.  It's perfectly oversized and distressed in all the right places.  I also love the old print on the back that looks like someone has been slowly picking at.
Summer officially started today!  Hope everyone has some exciting plans!!

vintage wide leg pants-VIRGO
shredded tee-VIRGO
wedges-Marni

Since I haven't trimmed this mane in 2 years, I thought I'd dye the ends blue (aka completely fry them to death) and then chop them off when I get sick of seeing blue stains on my towels and pillow case.  I can't decide if I like this look on me or not.  Blonde hair definitely suits this hair gradient trend better!

My whole outfit is from VIRGO, a really great store owned by the amazing duo Rana and Alejandra.  If you are ever in downtown Los Angeles, you must visit them! Trust me; they have the best vintage finds, local designs, and AMAZING prices! I dropped by to just look around and say hi but ended up wanting everything and settled for these 2 items..."shopping fast" FAIL!

shorts-T by Alexander Wang courtesy of Tobi.com
shirt- Dior Homme SS/06 Union Jack Striped Polo
platforms-Martin Margiela
turquoise armour ring-ebay

So many things to say in this post.
First off, I ate shit walking to work today wearing these brick-shaped Margiela's.  I had a delicious drink in my hand and decided to save the drink and not myself. Typical.
Eric got me these platforms for my birthday! Well, I notified him that these WOULD be my birthday present, when I found them for half-off in Hong Kong!

Yay for these shorts and Tobi.com for sending them to me!  This is my first ever "gifted item" and I couldn't be happier that it came from this awesome online store!  Thank you Tobi! Check them out here!

Thanks to Eric's unhealthy obsession with '01-'07 Dior Homme (Hedi Slimane) I get to pick through his gnarly collection and play boy dress up. This hotness definitely wore the shirt better though.

coral knit sweater vest-vintage

I'm baaaack!  I can't begin to describe how good it feels to be home.  After 3 weeks, 7 flights, 3 train rides and 8,000 mosquito bites (as you can see on my legs) "home sweet home" is an understatement.
Regardless, I had lots of fun AND more importantly we got tons of work done.  Basically finished PlayMe Jeans' and UNIF's sampling for next season! yup, GET EXCITED!!

(WARNING!: way too many pics to come)
random pics from the trip ...had to spend my 26th birthday in Guangzhou....not exactly party city but the guys from our factory were so sweet and arranged a birthday bash for me! Oh and by bash I mean a Lady Gaga impersonator performance at the most poppin' club in the city! lol....THANK YOU Artwks!!

love Eric's Dior Homme (Hedi Slimane) t-shirt

Kita san is like 60 years old but can still rock a floral suit and break dance.

I also got to visit Taiwan for 2 days.  I spent 8 years of my childhood there so the place is really special to me.  I got to see my sweet mama, 2 of my oldest friends get married, and the only store in Taiwan to carry UNIF! It's called NEU! and it is the siiiiiiccckest store.  If you are in Taiwan or plan on visiting, you MUST drop by here.

brown sugar coated edamame.  sooo good.

And of course we hit up my all time FAVORITE store DonQuixote!  If you are ever in Tokyo, you MUST venture out to this cluttered wonderland (preferably not sober).
