An outfit I wore to brunch in the east village this weekend - though these pictures were taken in Chinatown. It's so weird, but I'm not a huge fan of Chinatown - perhaps it's because it is EXACTLY like China. And although China has its perks, the nauseating smell of Chinese supermarkets is enough to turn me away. The food in Chinatown, on the other hand, is absolutely phenomenal.

The glowing cloudy sunshine made for great photos. I absolutely loved it. And thank god it was a beautiful 48 degrees in New York today. Perfect.
Love these Zara shoes that I scored in Hong Kong last February. Sadly I lost some of the studs, but I still love them. They're super comfy and have done me well.
Thanks to the talented Winnie Jeng for the photos!
Happy Valentine's day everyone! I made chocolate-covered strawberries & coconut oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for my friends and spent the day running all over New York delivering them! Doing nice things for other people just feels so good. But I also treated myself to this yummy 16 handles yogurt.
I took this picture from my IPHONE!! The picture quality is absolutely amazing on the 4 and I'm always impressed by the camera. Sighs. I love my phone. (16 Handles is THE best frozen yogurt in this city. HANDS DOWN.)
Hey guys. I'm FINALLY back FOR GOOD. In my 3 month haitus, I've graduated with degrees in Economics and Art History, I've taken the GMAT (for business school), and I'm going to be relocating to New York at the end of the month! I currently don't have a job lined up, but hopefully someone out there will find me useful (please hire me!!). It's a bit scary, but also extremely exciting.
I hope to sustain regular updates now, I'm so sorry that I left for so long. Although I'm sure no one missed me that much anyway. Haha. I'm hoping to not only do outfit posts but make The Voguette into a more well rounded fashion blog with editorials, more collages, and photos.
It's seriously cold in Michigan right now, thus it's necessary to layer up!

I'm pretty convinced that shoes don't get better than these.

Hey guys, sorry for the INSANE delays in posting, updates are going to be very sluggish for the next two months as school has been driving me insane. I'm graduating a semester early, which means that I need to cram all my classes for my double major in one semester. I've been passing my time with studying and freaking out about unfinished work. Needless to say my days have been spent at the library laboring over economic philosophy or in the darkroom developing prints for class. I did allow myself to celebrate for a few hours on Halloween, and here's my DIY costume that I threw together the day of!
And here's some shots of my friends that I took for my film photography class:
Iam really REALLY going to try and post sometime in the next month, but if I don't it's probably because I've retreated to an unexplored corner of the library and cut myself off from the real world. :(
I've been living in some deviation of this outfit for the past week. The weather is rather odd here - hot one moment, cold the next, and my excessive layering makes it easy to adjust to the fluctuating temperatures.
Now that school has started, I can't be fussed to wear anything that's not comfortable or easy to move around in which throws all extravagant dresses and high maintenance ensembles out the window. Sometimes it feels good to return to basics. Especially when half most of my life is spent in the library toiling over homework. Blah.
On a more exciting note - I finally got into the film photography class I've been longing to take for years! It's one of the few art classes for non-art school students that Michigan offers, so, naturally, there's a ridiculous wait list every year. But I cannot be more thrilled about it! Film has always been a medium that I've longed to explore - but it's tricky and mistakes are rather costly (unlike digital). Hopefully I'll be able to put some of my work up here too!
Ahhh! Alright gotta run to classes! Till next time!
I finally got my hands on this awesome tiered taupe cardigan from the lovely Karen from Purple Lab. It's a piece from stylist Lori Goldstein's line for QVC called Logo Instant Chic - and I absolutely love it! You can't tell from the pictures but the back of the cardigan is actually a sheer chiffon and it's absolutely amazing. I wore this outfit for my second day of classes - it's ridiculous that college has only been in session for two days and I'm already swamped with work. I guess that's my own fault for being an Econ major though.... grrr.
Oh, and my friend gave me that awesome amethyst Chan Luu bracelet for my 21st, and it has been glued to my arm ever since. I absolutely adore it.
Thanks to Winnie for the photos! You can check out her site here!
Alright, homework calls - till next time!

As promised, here are the pictures I did in Detroit with local photographer Jennifer Hui, check out her work here. I couldn't be more pleased with how these pictures turned out! I absolutely loved going around Detroit as well, it's a shame that people try to avoid it.
I've decided that I need to get new bracelets because my usual stack of silver and black is beginning to get mundane, I think I'm overdue for a trip to the vintage shop... or the craft store. Haha.

Short post today, this week has been crazy, I've been trying to see everyone before they go off to college, packing my stuff to move up to college, living at a friends house and trying to help out. Expect regular posts next week.
I absolutely love this All Saints dress from ASOS.com, its super comfy and perfectly draped, the only thing is that it's super thin and thus completely see through, so be sure to wear appropriate underwear! Haha.
Went to Detroit today with a local photographer to shoot, I'm super excited to see the shots!!!
A friend suggested that I do a "what's in my bag?" post, so here it is! I've always loved reading these on other blogs, and I only just realized that I've never done one! It's probably due to the fact that my bag doesn't carry anything remotely interesting - no lucky charms, no cool lighter, not even a fun key chain! Man, I'm so boring! But here is what can be found in my bag:
1. Passport 2. Passport holder as make-shift wallet 3. Watch & random bracelets that I took off throughout the day 4. GLASSES. God I love them. 5. ITOUCH. Essential for Survival. 6. Itouch charger. 7. Lip balm & lipstick. 8. Paris map. Yeah, it's been in since I left Paris... 9. Random coins 10. Paris Metro / Shanghai Subway cards 11. Shitty Chinese cell phone... lol. 12. Keys - ofcourse. 13. Sharpie - in case you need a tattoo on short notice!
Yeah that's it. I know, no essentials like tarot cards or mace... Hell, I don't even have a band-aid!! Who doesn't have band-aids! They're so useful!
Oh and I have a surprise for you...
I CUT MY HAIRR!!! Do you like my bangs???
Oh, and here's a quick outfit post. Yes, I am wearing shorts.
