winter prevails.

I can't wait till spring weather. Partly cloudy with the sun peaking out and a slight breeze. That's some ideal weather right there. I thought it would be like that today. That's what the weather report told me this morning, at least. It was wrong. Today was really cloudy and windy. I thought it would be sunny so I didn't wear tights or a jacket. My shirt is so thin, it feels no different than wearing a sleeveless. My hair looks really light in that first picture.

Short dress from Forever 21, long dress from Emily Temple Cute, plaid button shirt from Goodwill, fluffy collared shirt from Tokyo Fashion Co. Taiwan, bow brooch from H&M, Docs.

My hair is getting kind of long and unmanageable. I tied my hair up with this outfit so it'd look shorter. I've never worn this shirt before, so I wanted to wear it today, and ended up wearing all my plaid. Enh.

Love, Kai

lazy days.

Days when I have absolutely nothing to do are my favorite days. The days where I can just laze around and chilax without having to worry about wearing pants and fixing my hair. Weekends aren't long enough.A couple days ago, I went to Forever 21 to look for a sale item that I wanted. I wasn't there, so I bought a $4 slouchy tank.

Today is the North American release date for the two new Pokemon games. I bought black and my little brother has white. I woke up at 7 in case I wanted to buy it at Target, but liked I ended up at Toys R Us because I liked the deal there better.
I'm trying to decide if I want to play right now or do my homework or catch up on sleep or read ahead in Into the Wild or read manga. Decisions.

I tried on some nail colors at Nordstrom. My mom saw and her face scrunched up. My brother saw and he made barfing sounds.
From left to right, Chanel Jade Rose, Deborah Lippmann Waking up in Vegas, Chanel Particuliere, NARS Bad Influence. I was trying out the topcoat at some Korean makeup store, and ran out of fingers so used it on the right two. Going back for the Lippmann when I have monies.

watch me fly.

Yesterday was dare to wear day at school. I had planned to wear my space orbit hat, but it didn't go with the rest of my outfit. I wore the mesh around my head the whole day, or else I'd look like I'm dressing up for dress-like-usual-day.

Surprisingly, I didn't get any nun comments. I did receive a couple widow and funeral comments, though.

I had my black MaM parasol to go with the outfit today, but I forgot to include it in the pictures. I really wanted to do unusual makeup for it, but then I saw my lack of makeup. And I don't know where my false lashes went.
Mesh headdress remnants from art class, Swacket from Harputs Union, crochet top from thrift, GLP miniskirt, J Daheck silk skirt, fabric remnant from Joann's, freebie tights, Dolce Vita for Target shoes.

Fabrics! I really love the shiny Joann's one. I'd love to make something out of it if I were better at sewing.
I love these shoes. Except for the fact that they scuff so easily. I was running to get in the picture before my timer went off and ran into a pipe opening that left some unpleasant scarring.

Love, Kai

million miles away.

For my 100th post, I wanted to incorporate some art, because it's not often that I post art on my blog. I am a huge fan of galaxies and cosmic print. This was drawn for Red.
Written in the Stars is stuck in my head.

Here's an extension of my SoCal trip.
Berverly Hills is boss, man. The houses are so nice. There are tour cars going around introducing celebrity houses. It was kind of weird. I didn't have a car there, so it was a lot of public transportation and walking. Ohh the walking.

While I was in Los Angeles, I took a trip to Maxfield's, because I wanted to see Comme Des Garcons. I took a picture of their window display. It's not a very good picture, but I was afraid of taking any more pictures because guards are pretty.

I did ask a worker inside if I could take a picture with the statues, though. I got pictures with all of them.
I felt a little awkward and out of place, especially with so many people dressed in suits. The workers were welcoming, though. One worker commented on how she liked my shoes. Another commented on my cat sweater dress.

I didn't see as much Comme Des Garcons as expected. What really took my breath away were the Christopher Kane dresses. There were two different ones in the babydoll style with resort 2011 prints. My biggest regret was not having the guts to ask for a fitting room. There were people who were trying things on and taking pictures. I wish I could have done that.

Holy shoot holy shoot this one. It's so freaking gorgeous. I originally also wanted to go to Opening Ceremony for the Alexander Wang items and Christopher Kane tees. I don't think I can ever afford the dresses, but I can at least hope for a sale on the tees. I still want that Zara one that I missed out on. Things I like:


Christopher Kane dress from Farfetch.com, Christopher Kane tee from Opening Ceremony, Galaxy tee from Zara, pink cosmic dress from Opening Ceremony, Christopher Kane Resort 2011, G-Star Marc Newson galaxy Gore Tex Jacket.

I haven't been able to find that Zara top anywhere. If anyone is selling it, you know who to contact. Oh yeah, and the Comme Des Garcons for H&M collection. I remember coming across it years ago, and brushing it off. Another regret. There are some pieces from the collection that I'd like.

If I become a designer, expect to see space related designs.

I woke up at noon today. And then watched the Mugler show. There was quite a bit of tripping and stumbling going on. Gaga wore something like 10 inch heels and walked effortlessly. Now that's beast. Just checked; Mugler is finally on Style.com! I wasn't floored by anything I saw, really,in the show today. My favorite would be this one, but perhaps for the wrong reason. It reminds me of Alexander Wang.

I do like the second half of the menswear collection, though. I wish I could do that, for Dare to Wear day tomorrow. It's a bit late now, though.


Love, Kai

makes my eyes bleed.

Gosh, I'm one post away from my 100th post. It's been just about half a year since I started blogging. I still sometimes feel like I just started.

Shirt from Super Crew, Jacket from Puma, pants from H&M, leggings from Aritzia, Docs from Buffalo Exchange

Today was neon day at school. If you haven't figured, it was a bit difficult for me because I don't have all that much color in my closet. Everything I have is sorted into the black pile, the while pile, the greys and beiges, and a pile for everything that doesn't fit in those categories. So I wore my Super Crew shirt, which is about as much neon as I have.

After some additional searching around, I remembered I had a bottle of fluorescent nail polish. It makes my eyes bleed a little bit. It looked a lot more obnoxious in real life compared to the picture. My mom told me that if me dad saw it, he would get a heart attack. So I took it off soon after arriving home
Orly "Oh Cabana Boy."

Sleep deprived all week, man. It's ridiculous. I get home, sit and do nothing for seven hours, and then remember to do homework, and go to sleep and 1, and then fall asleep in all my classes. Senioritis sucks.

Oh yeah, my Billboard Gaga issue was FedEx'd over today. Yeyeah.
Can't read it until I finish my research notes for my research paper. I can't find any sources. And I'm falling asleep any second now. And my research is due in like an hour and a half.

Love, Kai
