Highlighter

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:36:23 -0800

So I finally figured out that I’m using Tumblr all wrong… but too late to move all this to Blogspot right?!

Anyway, I’m currently super into this neon, bright yellow color. It’s such a fun pop to add to an outfit.

I’ve never really looked at Anthropologie’s clothing, but I have always absolutely loved their home and kitchen items. Here are some nice things I spotted. Will be sure to look here for when I have my very own place!

Milk Bottle Measuring Cups

Farmer’s Market Baskets

Doily Dinnerware

Latte Bowls- So one of my roommates has these and I never knew where she got them. I love these bowls!

Dotty Match Pot Holders

My favorite fashion bloggers

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:36:00 -0700

Here’s a list of some of my favorite fashion bloggers which is where I get most of my fashion inspiration.

1. Biggest inspiration: Aimee Song of Song of Style.

There’s something about Aimee’s bohemian and girly yet tough style that I really really love. I’ve been following her blog for a while now and I can’t say that there’s one outfit that I haven’t been a fan of. She rocks feminine blouses, studded boots, and a ton of jewelry, creating such creative and amazing outfits. (It’s also a plus that she’s from SF!) Photos are from http://songofstyle.blogspot.com/

2. Another SF favorite: Liz of Late Afternoon

Liz’s style reminds me of Zara. And I love Zara. I really like her bright and bold colors. She’s actually inspired me to go out and buy a yellow top, blue pants, and a hot pink tank— all from Zara! Photos from http://popcultureafternoon.blogspot.com/

3. Affordability and layering creativity: Jenny Ong of Jenny From The Block

I love Jenny’s style because she gets A LOT of her stuff from Forever 21! I’m all about affordable fashion so it’s great to see what she can do. Jenny gets pretty creative when layering many items which gives some nice inspiration. (And brownie points for the nice vintage photography filters) Photos from http://www.jenny-fromtheblock.com/

4. Chic & classy: Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere

So cute and stylish, Emily also blogs about her cooking and baking. Her style is classy and chic— I have no other way to put it. Photos from http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/

5. Professional chic: Anh of 9 to 5 chic

Yet another SF blogger. I look up to Anh because she’s a working woman (in the medical device industry.) I love looking at her outfits because hey, when I’m her age (28), I want to be a baller, fashionista working lady with a legit career too! Photos from http://www.9to5chic.com/

Latest obsession: Food photography

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 11:52:00 -0700

I always thought I’d get into wedding photography. I’ve been obsessed with it since high school and have spent countless hours viewing amazing wedding photojournalism shots. I even tried shooting a few weddings myself, but there’s something about food photography that I feel is just more fitting for me. Maybe it’s the control of the subjects and lighting, or just the fact that I love to bake and to eat. Here are some wonderful food photographs that I pulled from blogs I follow.

I love that you can see the crumbs details, I like seeing other objects in the background, I LOVE natural lighting, and I really like the various cloths and plating that these food bloggers use.

Source- What Katie Ate.
One of my favorite food bloggers is Katie Quinn Davies of What Katie Ate. Her high contrast style makes her photos unique and very artistic.

Bird eye views are great.

Great display of baking ingredients.

Kate Spade Summer 2011. I don’t even know what this is exactly (is it a small crossbody? A camera case??), but it is too cute. (As seen here)

Cute cupcake or muffin liners. Apparently you can’t put these into the oven though so you’ll have to bake your treats in a separate liner. This is so cute!

Pretty princess

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 11:36:52 -0800

When I look through my Pinterest pins, I notice that my taste seems to be very girly and princessy. Strange thing is, you’ll most likely find me wearing a lot of black or grey. Perhaps the princess in me is just yearning to come out and soon enough I’ll be in florals and lace everyday :)

Here are some pretty home decor and interiors that I love. White seems to be re-occurring theme. I love the simplicity yet beauty of a bright white room. My bedrooms (I’ve moved a few times during college and then back home after college) have had a white theme for a few years now and I still absolutely love it.

More beautiful wedding photography

Fri, 07 Jan 2011 11:59:34 -0800

I am so in love with wedding photography. I’m going to find a top notch photographer and beg for an assistant position as I think I’m desperately in need of a mentor/adviser in the wedding photography field.

Spring rolls

Mmm, spring rolls. I always feel so healthy eating these and I also love making them! Design Sponge posted a recipe for how to make spring rolls, but I just want to share the amazing photography. I love the brightness.

I not a huge fan of macarons, but I do think they are absolutely adorable. All the different colors and the shape of ‘em are just so cute! And placed on a slice of chocolate cake like this? Divine!
