Late Night Blogging

I've never done a non-ramble blog post. Feeling rather inspired on a humid, Taipei summer night. Whilst running through various blogs, I've felt rather inclined to share some photos and points of interest with you all.

Dear Miley

Dear Miley,

Stop and think. You're not even 18 yet and you're telling pre-teen girls that it's okay to dress and act like a street walker? Do you know how many people look up to you and mimic every single action you take?

Obviously not, since you seem to not care about your image, dignity, and how you're basically killing your once blemish free slate.

Personally, I think that you're taking one step too far? Is this how you want to see girls? Withering and suggestively acting in public? I'm talking about 5 year old girls here who haven't even started kindergarten yet.

I know you're trying to break out of that Disney stereotype shell, but is this HONESTLY the correct way to do so? Aren't there other ways to prove maturity? In my opinion, I think you're showing an immense lack of it.

Miley, PLEASE put your act together, and perhaps maybe, people can look past your "I'm-the-next-Lindsay Lohan/ Heidi Montag" persona. Oh yeah, and by the way? Lap dancing on your 44 year old movie manager's party? REAL nice way to top of the cake.

-Adrienne.

P.S: Pretty Little Things followers! Please read http://miley-allthingspink.blogspot.com/2010/05/if-i-could-have-heart-to-heart-with.html :D sort of stole the idea from her, but nevertheless, miley cyrus should be taught a lesson or two...

The Professional Combo.

Hello everyone,


Here is my outfit for Monday, April 26th, 2010. We had a Model United Nations practice conference/debate, and since I'm on the press team (and as of today, I'm editor *snaps for me*). The dress code was formal, with skirts and dress pants for girls, so I decided to give my own twist on the typical white blouse/black slacks/Mary Janes. Enjoy!


Cardigan: Giordano Ladies, Black and White Top: Chocolate Factory (from Marshall's), Harem Pants: Giordano Ladies, Heart Bangle: Local Boutique in Taipei,
Initial Necklace: Club Monaco


(Closeup of the silver heart bangle) I think I have TOO many bracelets, let them be charm bracelets, bangles, or those really childish jelly bracelets that were huge a few years back. I cannot own enough, but I do love this one a lot, considering the simplicity of it.



(Closeup of Initial Necklace) "A" is for Awesome, as it is for Adrienne! (Just kidding, but seriously, I'm right, no? :D)




I pimped out my Lenovo X200 laptop yesterday in order for it to be recognizable among so many others at the conference. I used a nice bordering tape to do this design on the cover of my laptop. It cam out pretty cute, so I think I may be keeping it on for a while.


(Closeup of cover design) I like black/white borders like this one A LOT.




The screen/wallpaper of my laptop. Florals (especially Liberty florals, don't even get me started) are a HUGE love/obsession of mine. Added a little "I love Paris" sticker next to the built in webcam, which makes it look uber adorable as well.




Some Russian nesting doll bordering tape that I purchased last night for 45 NT (the two other designs came in a smaller roll, and were 12 NT each). I LOVE Russian nesting dolls.
