I saw on CL's official instagram account that it is there iconic Pigalle pump's ten years anniversary. I decided to celebrate their birthday by wearing them as well, I have no plans, so out for a hair-cut will do. These are honestly so uncomfortable, but the pain is just worth it to wear something so sexy. 

I didn't cut my hair short like how I planned in my last post, at least not yet. It is the end of the year, there are too much celebrations, to much work, too much important deadlines, too much worries. I have decided to keep something so exciting for one more month and start the new year with a fresh cut. Call me hesitant.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

I'm going to succeed because I'm crazy enough to think I can.

GO SHORT

Short hair inspirations since I've deciding to go short. I have always been biased (and I still agree) with a perspective that middle aged women look better with short hair. There certainly are gorgeous women who can rock the long hair look as well while they age, but in general, I believe that short hair is just more clean, smart, fresh, and edgy, and just looks better on them. Thus, I have been saving that look and preserving my waist-length hair until it's time I go short and never back again. 

But it has come to a stage when I get bored of it. My ends are dry and tangled, and all the girls with short hair on the street brighten my eyes. I realized life is too short for just one hair-style, and I should dump my "conviction" and still enjoy switching around from long to short. It is just hair, right?

I believe style is not only about looking good with the newest trends. It is also about finding what is most fit and right for yourself. I have very broad shoulders, and if I go too short, my proportions will be off with a small head. Planning to cut them shoulder length with no bangs. I can do variations by splitting in the middle or on the sides for different looks. I am excited.  

Keep Reaching

Outfit I wore on day 2 while strolling down the Hong Kong streets. We lived in an apartment halfway up the mountains, and plus cabs are always so hard to get, it is a cardio session every time we go home. It is not the best walking streets, so comfortable clothes and flat shoes is a must.

HONG KONG CITY

They say everyone needs to go on an impulsive trip where you just leave when you feel like it. Abandon your responsibilities, stop thinking about the consequences, and pack and live right away like you will never live again. This is one of those trips. My brother and I decided to head to Hong Kong so we booked our tickets and left early morning the next day.

The last time I was in Hong Kong was almost ten years ago. But I visited almost all sights and ate all the must-try food in this short trip of only three days. Besides hanging out with my dearest girlfriends, which is never enough. 

Just like how I love New York, I love Hong Kong. I feel energized by the busy streets and people going to places and working for their dreams. As so, Hong Kong is not a tourist site but a place to settle and live a life.

Enough vacation, it is time to go back to reality and my job.

I'm gonna make it happen.

PIGALLE

Chanel Scented Foam Bath

My simple before bed routine during the weekends. 

I remove my makeup with Bioderma and cotton pads, leaving the pads first on my eyes then wiggling to clean off mascara and wiping all over the face. No stretching or pulling! 

Then I exfoliate my skin with Sansho Skin Renewal Gel. I exfoliate in general twice a week, and use Sansho during the weekends. Just by rubbing and massaging the transparent gel to the skin, keratin will surfaces naturally. 

It is important to do a facemask after cleansing and exfoliating, I use either Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask or Suisse Programme Cellular Vital Mask depending on how tired I am and if I would bother washing Suisse off. I leave the facemask on while I apply Peace Love & Juicy Couture Body Lotion and do my nails.

Mama's 80s Dress

Vintage Dress/ Valentino Lizard Rockstud Pumps/ Givenchy Earrings

Mama's 80s dress that she used to wear as a young lady, and it is finally my turn to take them "for a spin". Attending an event in place of my dad who is out of town, and this non-revealing but still sexy dress could not be a better choice . Went with winged eyeliner, red lips, and a side-part hair to go with the polka-dots. 

Do well. Live well. And Dress Really Well.
