if it hurts baby please don't cry
Zara sleeveless hidden-placket shirt, assorted necklaces, Express cuffed shorts,
Wolford nylons, Alexander Wang woven Carrington sandals
Yes, it was over 80 degrees today in Los Angeles but that didn't stop me from wearing nylons. And it is possible to wear nylons with the Alexander Wang sandals from Spring '09. It's not super comfortable but it's possible.
I probably own more nylons than actual bottoms (skirts + pants + shorts), and because I don't have very long legs the nylons hide many flaws. They don't always make my legs look miles longer, but I just don't like showing my bare legs. Only at beach... which I never go to anyways. I also find nylons horribly sexy. Sexier than "just" legs.
I bought these Wolford nylons maybe 3 years ago. They're still in great condition. Considering a pair of Wolfords will set you back about $70, with great TLC (tender loving care), they'll last you a very long time. I usually buy my basic, solid nylons from Target or H&M (I still take care of those though) and sometimes splurge on more intricately detailed nylons with Wolford. There aren't many stores in the U.S. but if you can at least locate ONE free-standing store they can order your size in a particular style if it's not available. There is also bebaroque, which makes amusing nylons as well, but I haven't gotten around to picking up any of their merch yet.

Dusty's
My consistent lack of regular bodily functions (sleeping/eating) for the past month coupled with tons of going out, drinking and working have finally amounted to a fever last night. I'm still battling a massive headache but I don't plan on doing much tonight. So while everybody partied hearty on July 4th I stayed home and listened to the fireworks and police sirens.... gr...!
My friend came over from AZ and before my fever was full-blown, I took her to Dusty's Bistro for a light breakfast. Had to pass on the $5 mimosas and $4 beers. Next time...
Light breakfast of yogurt/granola parfait

an apple a day keeps the doctor/dentist away
(Yes this was a centerfold and I didn't bother to piece it together properly.
The artist does not have an official website yet.)
Art by Song, Yong-Han
Art by Sung, Hee-Jung
Old project from my FIDM days
I couldn't find scans of these anywhere so I decided to scan them myself. These are some of my favorites from one of my most precious illustration books, Apple (except the last image). My artsy friend Mike (who also collects illustration books) introduced me to this new publication one of the first times we met and I gawked at his book collection. Ok, we both dropped jaws at each other's collections but he has more "art"-related ones.
Apple is different from most illustration collections as it actually consists of snippets of "comics" by up-and-coming Korean artists (whereas most illust. collections are centered around a certain graphic novel or series of characters, this is actually a collective collaboration). Hyung-Tae Kim illustrated the cover so I already knew this was going to be a worthy buy. [Hyung-Tae Kim is one of my favorites--he designed the art for the Magna Carta video games]
The last image was one of my illustrations for school. I just felt it fit in with the rest of these girls that seem to not give a shit/are badass. I can barely remember what the assignment was, but I believe it was to derive an outfit from an existing one. For some reason I chose a Japanese rock outfit and morphed the dude into a girl.
And... I don't know where my original image was. But when I find it I will show you how I man became ... girl.
absolutely fabulous
With all the depressing news about Lacroix's future, how could one not be reminded of one of Lacroix's most endearing fans in history?

lazy sunday
T by Alexander Wang racerback tank, Urban Outfitters bra, BCBGMaxAzria draped viscose skirt,
Dior mesh rock sandals, Goorin Bros. felted hat, Target lace-beaded necklace
I did something last night that I regularly avoid doing--clubbing. I'm more of a... "Let's just sit in a dimly-lit area and drink while we chit-chat about random shit" person. But I was extended an invite by a new friend, so I decided to show up anyway. Maybe it was the alcohol but I actually had fun last night.
I also did something out of character this morning--woke up in the middle of the day. My internal alarm woke me up at 7:30am regardless of the fact I slept at 6am. I felt quite refreshed though.... and was kind of coerced back into bed. A lazy, lazy Sunday.... 3pm is still brunch to me. Sundays are usually reserved for errands unaccomplished during the weeknights, Saturdays are too but I do more socializing Saturdays, it seems.
And for some reason I've been going out almost everyday (hence the inconsistency of posts also), which my body probably hates me for, but being in your early twenties I suppose it's alright.

figaro figaro figaro
It's been my tradition to do brunch on Sundays (even though some people call me an old woman for that) and I usually have a friend to go with, but not today. It was just me and a magazine... and my camera.
Figaro is a quaint sidewalk cafe about 2 blocks from my apartment that also sells little bakery items and some nice desserts inside; most of the seating is outside. I've become obsessed w/ French cafes and especially Eggs Benedict. I've always been a scrambled eggs-type of girl but lately I always seem to order poached eggs of some form, sitting atop an English muffin. I never thought I'd actually enjoy eggs with the yolks running out but I tend to change my mind about things quite frequently.
They serve the juice in a wine glass, which is the best way to drink juice, of course.
The ketchup is also served in a discreet little pot, much more attractive than a massive HEINZ ketchup bottle sitting upside down on the tiny table.
