Food, fashion and a lot of failure because that’s what your 20s are for. A year of trying new things, exploring possibilities, and generally living fearlessly. Apologies for the alliteration, though if you don’t like alliteration we probably can’t be friends anyway

Moving Along

Hi all (2 of you……), This blog was meant to be a year experiment and that year is up.  I now have a new blog, which is a bit more personal and less fashion related.  I just started grad school abroad...

Shifting Sliding Swinging

Warning: rambling I’ve kept a journal religiously since the 4th grade.  My old ones get crammed in my bookshelf and stored away in boxes.  I want them all burned when I die.  I couldn’t bear if someo...

I Dont Go Here

Awhile ago I infiltrated my friend’s school and pretended to be a senior in her graduating class except it’s a small school so everybody knew I was an impostor.  At least I’m an impostor with good sh...

Interim

Saying goodbye to the apartment I lived in for 2 out of my 4 college years was pretty depressing.  It’s hard to leave any place that you’ve formed so many sentimental attachments to.  Plus the guys a...

I worked my last shift at Urban Outfitters a couple days ago.  It was an amazing place to work and I’m going to miss it.  The kick-ass employee discount didn’t hurt either.  Since I am now jobless I’...

Gallery Fun for Everyone!

Here are some photos of the art gallery opening I went to.  I was really impressed by a lot of the students’ work.  I’ll shut up now and just post the pics since they really do speak for themselves. ...

Taiwan: Animals Edition

Taiwan has a lot of strays and a lot of non-strays who roam outside at all hours.  And a lot of tiny purse dogs.  And some non-purse dogs.  Moving right along.      My cousin’s cat.  He’s all white e...

Taiwan: Dessert Edition

There’s going to be a bit of a fashion drought for awhile.  I took so many pics in Taiwan that I want to put up here that it’ll take some time to get through all of them.  So we’re up to desserts now...

(Un)Vegetarian

You know what I’ve failed at lately?  Being a vegetarian.  These pics are pretty self-explanatory.  I took a pic of it.  And then I proceeded to eat it.  The end.   Lamb Some traditional Taiwanese di...

Unexpectedly Fashionable

I thought that by coming to Taiwan, I’d be taking a break from fashionable pursuits, but today definitely proved that to be false.  My parents and I decided to wander around Hsinchu and partway throu...

The Story of Balenciaga: Part I

Oh Yes, YSL

This might seem weird, but YSl is one of those brands that I know exists (um….who doesn’t?), but don’t think about all that much.  Until this happened.  YSL, glorious YSL, ahead. Funky luxe.  This dr...

Where to Begin.....

It would seem that my life has taken a sudden turn.  I don’t know where it’s going, but it’s definitely changing.  In a good way, I think.  Possibly even a great way.  There haven’t been many outfit ...

Holy Shit a MOP DOG!!!!! Edit: My friend has informed me that this is a komondor, which is now a breed of dog that I really like.  Because any dog that can pull off dreads is cool with me.

Accidental Sexiness
