This is what I’m wearing to school today. One of my classes was cancelled so I have a whole hour and fifteen minutes of edumacation today. My professor just walked in the door so I gotta run. Have a wonderful day everybody.

vintage inspired
The wonderful people at Stop Staring sent me this adorable, vintage inspired dress that I wore to the theatre in San Fran this weekend. As I was looked through their site for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised at how feminine and body-conscious the dresses are. While the head designer at Stop Staring, Alicia Estrada, prides herself on “embracing and celebrating female form,” she also manages to make her pieces very comfortable. The stretchiness of the fabric made wearing this polka-dot, belted number very enjoyable. A playful option for girls with an appreciation for retro-contemporariness.
in a heartbeat
Today I found out what Koreans have for breakfast – kimchi and meat – the same thing they have for lunch and dinner. It has also been raining in Seoul everyday since we got here, so I’m getting to know the Monsoon season pretty intimately. A Coach umbrella and Coffee Shop rain coat are my trusty companions everywhere I go, and as you can imagine, this redundancy can really get to a fashionista. Looking forward to some dry days of a Korean summer.
lost and found in Tokyo
I’m quickly falling in love with Tokyo. It is by far one of the cleanest and safest cities I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Just to give you an idea of what I mean by safe, one of my favourite things to do here is to go jogging at night through the city…by myself and (as an aside) in the rain. It’s exhilarating! Everyone seems so respectful to, and considerate towards, one another. The first time I went on one of these ‘jogging sight-seeing missions’ I got distracted by a shop and got lost. It felt a little troublesome because everything was beginning to look the same, few people speak enough English to be of help, and I had no money or phone on me, but it still felt too safe to really worry. I will never forget this comfortable feelings in one of the most populous metropolitan centers of the world.
fringe play
My Toronto trip is coming to an end so I’m running around all day in preparation for my next destination. For this errand-running-mission, I paired comfortable Lida Baday pants with a loose Brunello Cucinelli top that mom bought me while I was in Cali. The boho-chic fringe bag is so over the top that it takes center stage, as I imagine will often be the case in upcoming looks. That’s a lot of fringe for a little bag, which should look interesting with a maxi.
