HAUL

Laura Mercier Mineral Pressed Powder (Real Sand)

Third one of these, and still an absolute favorite. Use it on a daily basis and it does not clog your pores; has just the right amount of coverage for a daytime look; and saves morning time by just buffing it on the face with a brush.

Vintage Gold Necklace/ Butter Nail Polish (Knees Up)

Found this vintage gold necklace on a jewelry store while visiting Princeton University. The calendar style is so unique and It is also 50% off. Who cares if September is not my birthday month.

Prada Baroque Sunglasses

 Nars Laguna Bronzer

 YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush Lips & Cheeks (Rouge Effrontee)

One that takes care of both your lips and cheeks. Definitely a travel essential, as it not only save room, but when packing light for a vacation and just bringing basic white tees and denim, this extra pop of color makes the whole look complete. The only down side is the lack of moisture and how dry it feels on the lips. Needs lip balm for a companion.

Classic B&W

Zara Shirt/ American Apparel Easy Jeans/ Valentino Lizard Rockstud Heels/ Michael Kors Watch/ Fallon Earrings

A quick little shot before going out with a friend on a Saturday. It may be overwhelming to wear jeans on such a hot scorching day, but I really want o balance out the lower neckline. It is my rule to only focus and show off one sexy part at a time. Another choice will be to wear boxy boy shorts instead of these hight waisted jeans to go with this Zara top. Overall enjoying my classic combination of black and white.  

 (Be so good they can't ignore you.)

Empire State of Mind

 Talula Blazer/ I <3 NY Souvenir T-shirt/ H&M Shorts/ Karen Walker Sunglasses/ Balenciaga Bag/ Gold Jewelry

Second time in New York, but the first time I get to walk around and sightsee. The Empire State does not disappoint with the busy streets and people that have long been used to the crowd.

After coming back down from the 86th floor on the Empire State Building, I had to buy that I<3NY T-shirt like most tourists. I also went teen size for a more tight-fitting look. A trip of two long weeks allows no space for excess luggage and everything I brought with me are basic. Simplicity is best you know.

(There is no sooner or later, right time or wrong time. Things happen when it has to happen.)

Behind the Scenes

This post is extra special. Behind the scenes while preparing my baby girl for her maternity shoot. Baby Ryan will be out to meet us next month. And it is the daddy that captured these moments while we were working. Story-telling in black and white, but a new beginning to a new happy little life for them. 

(In ten years we will all laugh about it.)

Kendall Jenner

 So I have been hearing friends discuss about her and how she is their new obsession. Felt nothing. Until I lay my eyes on this spread for Interview Magazine. This shoot gives her the right combination of sexy, edginess, fashion chic, and laid-back cool. Oh, and I just can't get enough of her messy bed hair and winged eyes.

Aladdin

Topshop Top/ H&M Trousers/ Schutz Heels/ Givenchy Pearl Earrings 

There is always a time when we have to say goodbye, but only when we part do we later meet again. Spending the morning taking a few causal pictures with my girls. I will be graduating soon and going back home, so we tried to snap down all our possible precious moments.  

It was a few years ago when I decided to no longer buy trendy pieces and had my heart set to purchase unique or classic pieces that will last longer. Yet, I found this "Aladdin" pants I got from almost ten years ago and decided to wear them out for some sunshine. No generalizing that H&M only sells quick-fashion pieces, there is no limitations on where to treasure hunt.  

(Perfect is Boring.)
