Warm Lights

A few photos that have been sitting on my computer for a LONG time, I decided to finally edit them and post them.  I took these along the main street of Avalon, Catalina~

It was a warm night, perfect for that relaxing stroll along the oceanfront.

[OOTD] Anything but platonic

A relaxing shoot I did with a romantic yet slightly retro feel to it.  

The soft and illuminating colors make me feel happy!

[OOTD] Effortless

Even though the rest of the world is happily gearing up for fall - cozy sweater and oversized coats galore, California is still scorching as if we are in the middle of July; the heat has just been clinging on to us, reluctant to let go!

[OOTD] COCO MADE ME DO IT

Tank: Camden Market in London

[OOTD] Valley girls giving bj's for Louboutins What you call that? Head over heels?

I am loving these comfy yet stylish harem-style pants! The slit on the side keeps it from getting too hot which is perfect for these humid summer months!

[OOTD] Sheer Fun

A pretty short post since I didn't do a full shoot. Just some quick shots next to my work place hehe~

I've been super into white-on-white lately. And just white in general. 80% of all clothing I buy nowadays is white lol. It just looks so crisp and classy to me - all while being totally effortless! And wow I LOVE sheer panels right now. 

[COSPLAY PHOTOSHOOT] Steampunk Fox

So this weekend I was at Anime Expo (a convention) at the LA Convention Center.  I didn't do any official cosplays from any anime characters this year but I brought my old steampunk costume from previous years just to wear around for fun.

[OOTD] Bubble Bubble Pop Pop! ♫

A fun, quirky, more colorful shoot that I did.  The style of the outfit is inspired by a host of Japanese alternative styles: lolita, hime gyari, fairy kei, and bits of Korean ulzzang style as well. I've always wanted to do a cutesy yet more provocative bed photoshoot and I really love the results of this shoot. Totally turned out what I was hoping for!

Yay for pink hair ! ^_~

[OOTD] Still Sands

Although I'm actually a cold-weather fan, I occasionally enjoy the cheerful island sunshine weather as well.  Especially when it helps photos come out this lovely! I love the sunkissed, hazy feel in some of these shots.  Makes everything look dreamlike and nostalgic.

My dress was so comfortable and flowy to wear. I love it. I am generally not a huge maxi-dress fan but this one definitely tickled my fancy. It actually arrived literally the day before I left for the island!  It was meant to be :) Hope you like these simple shots!

[OOTD] Pristine Waters

Hello all~! I just got back from my short weekend getaway to Catalina Island for my birthday vacation!

It was so gorgeous on the island like it always is and the weather was absolutely beautiful. The sands are white and pristine, the water so clear and crisp, and the sunshine warm on your skin.  I love the resort feel of the tiny island.

I was able to sneak in some shots here and there.  Hope you like them!  I personally was pleasantly surprised by how they came out.

Looking through the photos and editing them makes me feel so beachy and summery all over again! I can't wait for summer to be here in full force!

[OOTD] Heaven's Sole Design

I had some time to snap a few sunset photos today and I like how they came out more artistic and grungy rather than pristine and super ootd of the day look to them.  The only down part is that the details of the outfit aren't so clear.  Hope you like the bright, sunlit photos!

[OOTD] Borrowed Wings

Hello all! I finally got a chance to take some ootd photos after SO LONG of not taking any!

It was making me very sad that I didn't have time to take ootd photos because I've been wearing some cute pieces lately. I'm planning to clear a wall of my room so that I can have some nice blank space to take a daily ootd photo before I head off for school/work :) I'll keep you posted on that.

Minnie Mouse Muse

Perhaps I have an inner minnie mouse muse somewhere… (try saying that 10 times fast…) or perhaps I don’t ! I’m not a huuuuge fan of Disney but I recall bits and pieces of it as in my memories of childhood somewhere.  I especially loved Ariel even though I do realize she was kind of brat now ! Haha.

Either way, this little red dress and heels reminds me of something quirky and fun like Minnie Mouse.  These shots were taken outside on…the sidewalk.  That’s a niiiice sidewalk if you ask me!  

Sorry these photos are a bit belated. They were taken sometime when the weather was still being bratty and acting like summer even though fall was just right around the corner.

Autumn Musings

Hi everyone~!  Here is my new photoshoot - it was at an “autumn cafe” location so I wanted to dress in a feminine and very elegant style.  I hope you like the shots!

姫姫 (Princess-princess)

So I took a mini shoot for myself so I can get a nice shot for the header of my blog.... as you can see I've chosen one ^_^ I decided to wear a tiara to go with the theme of the blog title : princely/royal/regal. Here are the other shots .. just silliness and me by myself with the camera lol. Would have helped if I had my tripod -_-;; Just a lot of closeups of my face @_@ BEWARE.
