Magazine Highlights of the Month (March)

hello everyone,

I've devised a monthly column that I will update at the closing of each month. Instead of monthly favorites (beauty,fashion,etc.) I will be documenting highlights in magazines. Here we go!

TEEN VOGUE (April '10): Miley Cyrus

(*Sorry to dissapoint those Miley Cyrus fans out there, but she did NOT deserve that cover, nor, in my personal opinion, does she deserve half of what she gets in general. I don't want to turn this blog into a place for harsh critique, so I'm just stating this at the beginning. Okay!)



1. Zac Posen for Target: FTW! Posen for less than $100? Amazing! A tux for prom? Even more spectacular!




2. Jennifer Huang and Winning a CFDA Scholarship: Shes young (17 years old) she's Taiwanese-American (so am I *wink wink*) and she's full of talent.

LUCKY (April '10): Jessica Szohr



1. The Cover: Jessica Szohr is so down to earth, seriously, she's amazing. Haven't seen her grace the covers of a magazine solo before, so I was sure to snag this issue.




2. Pixie Lott-based Clothing: I love Pixie Lott (almost as much as I love La Roux), so when I saw this I was glad to know that she had FINALLY been acknowledged in an American editorial.


SEVENTEEN (April '10): Nina Dobrev

(* I don't watch Vamprie Diaries AT ALL, nor do I enjoy the fact that tons of TV shows, books, movies etc. are minipulating vampire-themes.)




1. La Roux Glasses: I have to admit I was pretty impressed that Seventeen had the taste to put these in (no offense, mostly Seventeen only features wayfarers and aviators... or whatever teens enjoy these days). I feel so inclined to buy them! La Roux wore something like these in her Rolling Stones interview.




2. Street Style Editorial: FINALLY Seventeen gets real style off the streets...can't say that I liked the "17 Way" they interrpreted these looks, but the "street way" photos are actually quite... cool.


That's all the magazines I purchased this month! This post turned into a rather "bash-n-mash" of Seventeen and Miley Cyrus, but ehhh.

Let's just say I have an acquired taste ;)

A Quick Hello

hello everyone,

I'm posting this blog post on a new iPhone program, BlogPress, so please bear with me if the formatting is gone a bit awry.

I set off from Taipei down south, and I am currently at my grandmas house in Taichung City. Here is a picture of the high speed train/bullet train sign:



On the first day, we went to Kaohsiung, a city an hour of off Taichung. There, we met up with old accquaintences and did A LOT of shopping. I managed to pick these three things up:




1. High Waisted Gray Tulle Skirt: I love these types of things and just can't seem to get enough :)




2. Steve Madden Sandals: These were actually 75% off and they only had one pair of my (7.5) left, so that was a steal.




3. Navy Peace Bracelet: I really want to pick up a couple more of these in other colors.

Now for two Lancome quads. Didn't actually plan on getting these, but my mom's friend had them and gave them to me:




The first one looks like this:


Colors (clockwise): Pètale, Crème Lustre, Honeymoon, Noix....I'm not really the makeup type (and this is relativaley the makeup blog) but I do have to say these colors are gorgeous.

The second one looks like this:


Colors (clockwise): Crème Lustre (again?!), Mauve Lustre, Rose Ancien, Ciel du Soir...Evidently, that Crème Lustre color is a staple in these Lancome quads!

Alright, that's it for now!

Hello kind interwebs,

It's March 18th, 2010, and yesterday, on an oh-so-dreary Taipei mid morning, I presented this video that I home grew myself for my entire English class to see. So... I guess this could be classified as an English project :)

The short film is based on the lovely Lisa Zaran's poem "Girl", which is amazingly poetic (but of course, *smile*) and instantaneously infectious.

We need more poets and poems alike to be this witty and amazing.

The video is narrated by me and stars my friend Lily.

Enjoy!

The Diving Belle

Absolutely stunning, Keira Knightly from Joe Wright's Atonement. This movie never looses its absolute charm, and the fashions never seem to loose their luster. A captivating film, always one of my first favorites.
