There is less than a month left before the exam period so I practically live at the library nowadays. It’s a pretty one-dimensional existence except that I have plans to go to the opera in San Fran this Friday. Can’t wait!

I hope you had an amazing Halloween!

Dress by Twenty by Twelve
Necklace (from Seoul, Korea)
Belt by Marciano
Heels by Betseyville

Happy Halloween my lovelies

I could hardly breathe in my Cigarette Girl costume because of the crazy corset but I loved playing this character for a night. Twenties were a stylish period.

What I’m wearing:

Costume skirt, corset top, and bow
Tights from St. Petersburg, Russia
Heels by Elie Tahari
Necklaces worn as bracelets from Club Monaco

Haven’t been back more than two months and I’m already getting restless. I have a little trip planned for this winter break and I’ll definitely be packing a few maxis again. A simple long dress can be transitioned from day to evening wear with just a few quick adjustments. Replace the flip-flops with heels, add a statement accessory, pick up your favourite party bag and you’re ready.

What I’m wearing:

Maxi dress by Religion (last seen here)
Swarovski necklace (last seen here)
Purse by Chanel
Straw hat from Koh Samui, Thailand

catching light

I’m back in California!!! This summer has definitely been memorable – celebrated the completion of the first year of law school in Vegas, visited family and friend in Toronto, took a class on Japanese business law in Tokyo, clerked at a law firm in Seoul, Korea, and spent my birthday vacationing in Thailand. A serious case of jet lag and a few scary credit card bills will never change the fact that this has been the most incredibly epic summer ever!

These pictures were taken in Tokyo at a restaurant/bar during one of our nomihodai nights.

These pictures were taken in Toronto on a hot, humid day. But in the last seven days in Tokyo I have become acquainted with humidity on an entirely different level. Natural fabrics that breath are essential in this climate because everything is sticky as it is. I also never leave the hotel without a pair of flats in my bag because no matter how comfortable you might be with walking in heels, exploring a new city is sweeter when the feet are happy. Ps. I handed in my essay to Prof. Taniguchi and heard a cute quote from my friend Jessica that I wanted to share with you – “An essay should be like a woman’s skirt, long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to make it interesting.” Lol, love it!

What I’m wearing:

Vintage skirt (Haight & Ashbury shop in San Francisco)
Necklace by Ben-Amun (last seen in June 5’10)
5 bangles by Holt Renfrew (last seen in Apr. 19’11)
Heels by Christian Louboutin

a statement

I was originally planning on posting all of the pictures from my trip to Toronto before making Tokyo posts. But Tokyo is too exciting for me to wait so I decided to alternate between the two cities. Today’s pictures are of the Toronto variety; from a night when we went out for drinks on College St. and later in Yorkville. I paired a strapless jean dress, that I picked up in San Francisco on Ashbury and Haight, with a statement necklace and light heels. I often reach for large, elaborate pieces when working with open decolletages. They are fabulous way of minimizing some of that vulnerability.

Jean dress

Silver multi-strand bracelet
Shirt by Elizabeth and James

with the girls

In law school I spent so much time with my guy friends that I couldn’t wait to be with the girls in Toronto. This visit back home is shaping out to be primarily about this and I’m loving every second of it. My recent summer looks have been accessories heavy. I noticed a little pattern emerging – the more fun I’m having the more accessories I tend to wear…at least when I’m with the girls .

What I wore with Alissa and Olessia:

Aviators by Gucci (last seen in Apr. 2’10)
Symmetrical origami fold necklace by Phillip Lim
Dress by Greta Constantine (Spring 2010)

The weather was so beautiful while we were preparing for exams that I remember picturing myself by the pool as soon as exams were over. I pictured a bright bikini, a large hat, mohitos, and something festive playing in the background. Well I tried that today, with my Michael Kors straw tote in hand and everything else I described. Only as soon as I just about finished with my set up it started raining. Um, so now I’m inside…still hoping that my dream could materialize today.

one down…two to go

My first year of law school is officially a wrap! I can hardly believe it. It has definitely been ‘an experience’ and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same after this emotional roller coaster of a year. Today is going to be about getting my apartment in order, laundry, putting the books away, and packing. Time to start my next adventure .

Silk dress by LAmade

la raza banquet

lida — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 00:37:04 +0000

I really should be working on my memo right now so I’ll keep this brief. The La Raza banquet was great but the decision to keep the party going at a club is responsible for the horrible migraine I’m experiencing right now. Some guy at the club told me that I look like I just won an oscar…funny . Ok, memo time.

What I’m wearing:

Dress by Giorgio Armani
Emerald necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane (last seen in Jan. 27’10)
