flow sweetly, hang heavy

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.

who knew hair could do so much?

Sorry it's been so long since my last update, I get so caught up with school it's ridiculous. But lately I've been playing around with my hair a lot. I used to be the queen of hairstyles in high school, but I haven't really done anything since I got my hair cut.

Here are some new styles that I've been experimenting with.

#1. CRIMP - I've decided that crimped hair is so much more fun than curly hair, I think it gives my hair much more volume, and it's a bit edgier than girly curls.

#2. HAIRBOW - Yes, this is done with my own hair. A feat that even Lady Gaga herself fails to achieve.






#3. EIGHTIES PONY - Well I actually did this for a decades party, I am really kinda in love with it, but alas, I don't think my college campus is ready for such crazyness. At least not yet. I apologize for the crappy photos, this is what happens when I don't have anyone to take my picture... gahh.



(F21 Shirt & Shorts, Scarf as bow, Necklace)

I promise to update more this week - but I'll be kinda busy because I'm planning an intense DIY project for Halloween... More about that soon!


PS. I am currently obsessing over my H&M sheer shirt. I love it so.

fall florals

(F21 Cardigan, Topshop Dress, BCBG heels, Club Monaco Necklace)

I know that fall florals are a bit cliche, but I really like the idea of transitional looks, and I do think summery prints and thick knits are a great combo for September. I desperately need some long cardigans and chunky knits, but I'm currently lacking funds. It's very annoying at the moment. I picked up this frock a couple of months ago in nyc, and I recently spotted it on Sienna Miller!





I absolutely ADORE Essie's Neon Collection and I thought it was only fitting to celebrate my last week of summer with electric yellow nails. I LOVEEE the shade, I would totally wear it all the time!



I was bored with my very outgrown "lob" so I decided to get a cut to change things up. I've always adored Gweneth's blunt angled bob and I finally had to courage to go for it! Although it is very upsetting that my outgrown bangs weren't long enough to complete the look. Oh well. You win some you lose some.
