It's never too late for a wishlist! Nobody really buys me anything I want anyways so it's really up to me to make this list come true...

1. Oversized sweater by Dries Van Noten

I've been obsessed with this sweater and all the colors from the Fall 09 runway the moment I saw the collection. I would search high and low for something similar because...where can I even find Dries Van Noten besides ebay?? I thought perhaps 80s oversized mohair sweater would be easy to find, but I haven't had any luck.

2. Triple Bow Embellished pumps by Chloe

Most people here don't know, but I am obsessed with bows. I have a number of items with bows or a resemblance of a bow. They're mostly left over from my craze for lolita styles back in the day (sometimes I still get crazy over anything lolita and I can't help myself).

3. Vintage Leopard print ascot blouse by Wayne Clark

I tore out couple of looks from one of my favorite Japanese fashion magazine, Spur (same story as the picture with the Dries sweater) to copycat some styles. One of the looks had a leopard print ascot blouse and trench coat with boyfriend jeans, and it was so cool and casual.

4. Turquoise Arty Oval ring by YSL (pre-ordered!!)

Like many many people in the world who covet things ring, I too am in love. I couldn't believe it when I found out that Saks is doing a pre-order for new shipments!! Without hesitation I jumped on the list because I don't want to miss out on it again.

5. Vintage Red double breast blazer

Stand out like no other, this bright red blazer with leopard print anything. It's a holiday seduction. Which reminds me, I just recently bought a couple of lip shades. After seeing all the Maybelline commercials on TV..I couldn't resist buying shades of red.

6. Brown wedge lace up ankle boots by Chloe

Sadly, I missed the sales for these..and now they're sold out everywhere! Except on farfetch.com, which priced to kill...as if they bought out all shoes just to resell them at a higher price. *sigh*

I've been doing a lot of online shopping, mostly because I didn't go out this weekend for being under the weather and other reasons that doesn't need mentioning here..but I can't wait to receive these items!
1. Vintage 80's Tan CapeWhat a cool find..and so Chloe-esque!! I hope to get it before my roadtrip. It looks sorta like a rain coat except its a form of heavy cotton and not waterproof sadly...but it sure looks nice.
2. Vintage Gold Costume RingCool amethyst crystal ring with a secret compartment. I wouldn't know what to put there, but it creates a mountain on my finger. Wonder if YSL was inspired by these vintage costume rings or vice versa??
3. Hunter Original Tall Welly BootsSome may recognize these from photos of Kate Moss and find it fashionable. It's also necessary for a winter roadtrip..especially going up north! I originally wanted a light pink color, but it's sold out and was left with not knowing which color to pick, so I opted for a black pair - When in doubt, black is always the right choice (at least for me). I bought them from endless.com, I love the fact that they have free overnight shipping! Perfect for last minute shopping.
4. Vintage Fox Fur BoaMy boyfriend always says to me every time I want fur, "Peta is going to throw red paint at you." And I always justify by saying.."it's vintage!" Honestly though, the only real fur I wear are all vintage. I think recycled fur is fine..but buying new fur is like killing new animal, so I don't know about that.
5. Vintage 80s Missoni Cardigan with all over face printIsn't this so crazy?? Pop art of the 80s! My jaws dropped when I saw this on eBay. I had to buy it for the art...heck I buy clothes for art's sake anyways. One time I explained to someone how I like to collect things, various things, anything amusing and unique. Maybe I don't wear all my clothes, but I do love them for the art. And I guess fashion is how you style the art pieces that you buy...adding/subtracting elements to create masterpieces.

h&m sweater, patch denim jeans, theory silk tank, alice & olivia for payless wedge boots



It's finally cold enough to wear thick sweaters and jackets here in LA. I did some retail damaging this past weekend and pictured here are a few purchases. I love this sweater/bolero thing from h&m. It's so cozy and a bit oversized with interesting shape.
I also love the patch work denim from h&m too. It reminds me of the 70s. The boots aren't new, but it's the first time I took a pic with them. I felt that the sweater material used were so rough and the color was a lighter grey that I didn't like, so I snipped them off and plan to put faux fur in place..or maybe just make some fur leg warmers so I can wear it with other shoes.

I think this would look great as a scarf too.



How do you like my random yellow socks? My outfit didn't really match these shoes so I grabbed my roommate's hand painted frames and cropped in my legs. Live Art Exhibit: Miu Miu Patch-work Wooden Wedges!
I found them 65% off at Barney's and couldn't resist. Maybe it was the patch-work denim jeans that put me in the wagon. But I love them and I can picture a lot of items in my closet that will go well with these babies.

Oh the Holidays, it's that time of the year to do some extra spending. This year on my list are these amazing bags by BOYY. The rest of my holiday wishlist to come.

The last I thought about buying a new bag was almost a year ago. Still haven't found the "one" small bag that I can carry at night when I go out and these look amazing!

I love these 2 bags (Saul and Loui). Large and can fit many work related things.

but I'm gravitating towards purchasing this bag, Slash. It's not too big and not too small. Perfect for everyday. Which is also what I'm looking for. I'm afraid my Foley + Corinna bag is slowly deteriorating from throwing it all over the place, but I do like that vintage leather feel that I'm giving it.

Anyways, this bag is calling my name and I'm trying to decide whether I want the Slash Calf or the Limited....

I absolutely love these! When I first saw them on hm.com I knew I had to have them. I've been trying to find new stylish flats to wear to work. I had these studded ballet flats from Bakers that I wore to death and needed a replacement. These shoes are perfect! I can think of so many ways to wear them. Don't you just love how shoes can inspire you to come up with new ways to dress?

Ever since I saw the collection from MG Black at the Gen Art fashion show I've been dying to dress with a little more menswear. The unisex appeal has never looked so good. I have collected quiet a few images to further elevate my latest obsession..I'll post them up some day when I stop being lazy...or take an outfit pic for once! I blame it on the weather.

I've also updated my little shop Closet of Geometry with some more old shoes of mine. I'm trying to clean out my shoe closet to make some room. Pretty soon I will stock up some faux fur coats, vests, jackets, cardigans, sweaters..etc =)

PS: look who is on American Apparel? A lovely AA staff contacted me if they could dispay one of my photos. =)

Hi guys, after few short months I've decided to part ways with my beloved Zoe. I should have listened to all the bloggers who mentioned them being half a size large..at first I didn't notice, but after wearing them with tights..my feet started slipping inside. So, these are perfect for someone who wears a 7.5 shoes. I'm giving you bloggers the opportunity to buy them straight from me first before placing it on ebay.

you can shoot me an e-mail or leave your comment over at my selling blog if interested!

And now to find something that fits my feet! btw, sorry for being MIA..we had a fashion show in NY 2 Saturdays ago and it was my bday bash this past weekend..though my official birthday is tomorrow! Will post photos soon! xx

I interrupt my runway report to bring you this...the best collaboration yet! Not only is Spike Jonez bringing our childhood book to the silver screens but to real life as well. Speaking of childhood books, I saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatball last weekend at the IMAX theatre, completely surreal...surround sound but visually surrounded! Anyways...

Dress up in faux fur from jackets, vests to dresses and pair them with tarnished silver or gold cuffs, necklaces and rings by Pamela Love. How amazing is this? I am in love! and I can't wait for the movie.

the texture of the last two white ones are fantastic. it reminds me of a sheep/lamb..which is totally me (my last name) haha :)



this vest by far is my favorite

I wonder how many people are going to dress up as Max for Halloween? I mean, it's sold out! That's one expensive costume, but so cute.

First two images found on feather hunter, tangled chains by Sid Vintage on Emily Rossum, giraffe booties by Luxury Rebel and leopard wedges from Office

Ahh, what would Fall be without these? I want to go against the usual Leopard prints for Fall and buy lots of Giraffe prints. Firstly because I find Giraffes to be so graceful and beautiful looking. Secondly, when you think animal print you don't normally think of these fellow giants which makes me love them more. Thanks to Michelle of missnonhuman for tipping about these Office wedges called Minky Pinky. They're cute in their own way..and half off the sold out Ashish!

And I'm waiting for couple orders I purchased from the web by the end of this week!

twelve by twelve giraffe cardigan & taupe harem pants..after i get this im going on a safari trip.

vintage 80s gemstone long knit cardigan..can borderline on tacky, but i love it!!

vintage christian dior black onyx belt. this one is so purty!

vintage Wilson high waisted leather shorts.

I'm super excited for this one, been trying to find leather shorts of this length. I don't really like the whole booty leather shorts retail stores are putting out...like how do you even wear it out without some random guy slapping your ass? I don't know what it's like in other cities, but LA guys have no shame.

I also bought many many things from H&M, american apparel, and goodwill (for good ol DIY projects) the past few weeks. Sadly, I don't have a camera yet to show you what I've been wearing. Must steal roommate's camera to make outfit posts!

Despite the immense heat right now, I enjoy looking at fall pieces and dreaming about putting together looks and going around town in quirky outfits. I'm not sure what it is about fall, but it makes me feel so happy and warm inside. Maybe it's the colorful leaves, the earthy smell of the rain, the perfect LA weather that's a bit breeze but still warm at night. It makes me want to layer in lots of color combos instead of the neutrals I've been sporting all summer long.

I am in love with the new kate spade collection right now. Super fabulous.

Besides layering with clothes, it's the months where I actually want to play with accessories. I used to be a huge fan of pulling looks with hats, purses, and belts..but right now I'm really into vintage jewelry..especially reworked vintage jewelry. I wish I could afford buying the beauties from The Glamourai at Shrimpton Couture, but I'm afraid I have to find alternatives that still oozes glamour...so obviously it leads me to search on etsy. There are lots of great jeweler that are catching onto this fantastic art!

These will certainly define and complete any outfit.

PS. Forgive me for the lack of updates & replying to comments..I haven't really been online or inspired to dress up when it's hot, sticky, forest fires burning in the background and spending my hours working and preparing for market/fashion week. But soon! This blog will take full effect after a particular side project :)

NOOOOOO!!! I barely found out they were out and it's gone :(

edit: I can't believe the zebra ones are on ebay already!!

sam edelman zoe boots @ akira chicago

This baby is back but selling out quickly as ever. Thanks to the lovely ladies, Lindsay and Melissa over at Akira Chicago for the heads up and giving me a call. I can't wait to rock them! You girls are fantastic!

I love ebay for selling the things I can't find in real life. Can't wait to wear them in 2 weeks. They reminds me of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. You can wear these all glammed up in the evening or in a casual environment depending on how you accessorize. Either way will attract loads lot of attention! What I like about maxi dresses is the fact that it's easy to wear, super comfy and you become instantly chic (I love the instant part)! My boss has been wearing these super cute floral and jewel toned maxi dresses all week long and it inspired me to get something with print and color, but I really couldn't resist these black and white for the silouettes.

I need this Christopher Kane Tee. More here: Luisa Viaroma
and the Alexander Wang Fall 09 accessories collection is looking pretty fierce!

Just made this fabulous purchase from ancestorvintage over at etsy. I had these sitting in my favorites for nearly half a year, and to my surprise..no one had snatched these glorious boots! I thought its about time I get them before it is really too late. While most are planning their summer outfits, I'm already thinking of fall, maybe its the freak weather we had last week or that I love autumn much more than summer. I feel like I have better clothes suited for the cooler weather than the warm. And Its funny for me to say it this way since I live in southern California where the weather is rarely cold, so I suppose my cold weather items are equivelent to warm weather items in other parts of the world.



The corset lace ups reminded me of the boots from Ann Demeulemeester A/W 08 collection. Except not the triple laced version or have that curved heel, but still beautiful in its own right. Just the idea of saying "corset lace ups" gets me all giddy (i sort of have a thing for lingerie, which is why i'm happily working for a luxury lingerie/couture bridal designer). I feel much happier in finding vintage items that resembles a style that I love from the designer without paying a fortune for the name (unless it is the most essential item to have in my closet and none other can merit the same feeling for its design) and knowing that designers are often inspired from the past, I think its super cool to have a vintage pieces that designers are inspired to bring back to the modern world. Makes me feel like I have stuff that are more authentic than just the label.


shop bottoms at spanish moss vintage

Lately I've been paying close attention to pants with floral prints on them. I've been seeing a lot of floral harem pants in vintage stores and they look intriguing, but I don't think it's worth $70-$100 though. I'm going to hunt for some myself...and perhaps if I find vintage maxi skirts while thrifting I'll reconstruct it into pants. Shouldn't be too difficult right?

Ryan says my default outfits are usually cardigans, tees, and jeans. I guess I can't help it because it's the easiest to style when I'm in a hurry - and I'm always in a hurry! Especially getting dressed for work that has a pretty casual atomosphere. So once in awhile I head over to Totokaelo for style notes that works for me in my everyday work life.
