SHOE LUST: Corkscrew

Been MIA, February has been pretty crazy. Plus, I think I'm coming down with a cold. Booo.

Traveling for the past week, and March is packed with travels again.

Of course, must pop in here to share my latest shoe craving:

( @ Kate Spade, Elina, $225 ) 

Cork shoe, with a patent pink toe. For some reason, it's calling my name!

Also, there goes my 24th birthday..trying not that let affect me too much. I'll let you know if I go on a quarter-life crisis soon!

Jason Wu for Target

I cannot wait for this line to roll out. I've been following Jason Wu since I was high school, I believe...ever since I found out he was from Taiwan, my home away from home.

When he finally got his big break with Michelle Obama's dress, I nearly wept.

Therefore, this new collection that will hit stores February 5th is to die for!

Here are my favorites:

Navy color block dress, the stripes at the bottom bring the right amount of fun into this dress.

( @ Target dress for $39.99 ) 

Perfect combination of sweet and flirty. The pink polka-dot blouse is so perfect for work! (Probably my favorite out of the collection...yes I am super girly).

( @ Target $34.99 for blouse

$29.99 for lace purse )

I love black and white...it will never go out of fashion. Timeless chic! Maybe not those sunglasses though...

( @ Target, $59.99 for dress )

Elegant purse, cute.

( @ Target $39.99 for bag )

Ahh, floral scarf...I'm actually undecided about this, but I had to include at least one scarf!

( @ Target $19.99 for scarf )

Gold and black, another timeless combination.

( @ Target $32.99 for peplum top

$29.99 for skirt

$29.99 for clutch)

Are you excited for the line to come out? What are your favorites? Will you up at 3 AM February 2 for the opening?

Enjoy the weekend!

Dividing Thoughts

So, lately, I've been really interested in room divider screens. I think they can be so gorgeous and neat for  breaking up a room. But they are also quite versatile. Here are some faves:


This one is very gorgeous, but it doesn't really serve a purpose besides looking pretty is a bit out of my budget.

( @ Plushpod $7995 )

This one is such a neat idea! I love the fact that there are corkboards, so convenient for hanging things up. PLUS. When you feel like rearranging (something I do a lot), it's easy to move around! So neat!

( @ Oriental Furniture $199 )

I loved this wood screen.

( @ Anthropologie $1298 )

I really like this white screen, with all the cut-outs. Very graphic and bold.

( @ Home Decorators Collection $349 )

Of course, being Asian, I have to include this Asian print screen. I actually like this one a lot too. Cherry Blossoms are gorgeous. Plus, this is much more in my budget.

( @ Home Decorators Collection $40.25 ) 

Finally, my personal favorite. Not sure where this screen is from, but I love how it looks in this room! This is some professional interior design gorgeousness.

( @ Eddie Ross )

Would you ever put room divider screens up in your house? Do you think they are effective, or simply there to look pretty?

Store: Madewell Spring 2012

I may or may not be obsessively looking at the new fashion lines that are coming out...

Madewell is also one of my favorites. Its concepts and outfits are so simple, yet so the looks are so great!

Here are my top three:

So if you know me, you know that I love color...and the different shades of red here, with that mustard purse are calling my name! Time to mix shades!

( @ ) 

White with green...could we get any simpler or classier for spring? I think not.

( @ )

Finally, this dress. Not sure about the denim jacket...but the dress is so cute. Would totally wear it as a sundress!

Rebecca Minkoff Pre-Fall 2012 Line

Here are my three favorite looks from the pre-Fall 2012 line (didn't even know this had pre-fall lines!):

I love this skirt, the lines are great, and with those bright shoes, perfect!

( @ )

Show me something with turquoise, and I jump for it.

Once again, my favorite colors make their appearance. This bag is going to be high up on my coveted list.

Looking forward to any other new lines?

Arsenic and Old Lace

Recently, white dresses have been popping up on my radar. They look so sweet and summery, and I'm definitely looking forward to picking some up. The lace is also gorgeous.

( @ Nanette Lepore $348 ) 

( @ Tinley Road $79 )

( @ Rebecca Chantilly $330 )

White dresses, what are your thoughts? Too wedding dressy? Too summery? Other colors catching your eye?
