Boxing Ninjaaa


Going to train tomorrow. Imma be a boxing ninja! 

STOKED.

I hope to liken Laila Ali one day. LOL as if I can.

Lace and Chiffon

There's something about the combination of lace and chiffon that I love. It's feminine and romantic and reminds you of an old world that's full of magic and mystique. 

The change of colour would completely alter the feel of the dress. Bright colours would make it fun and flirty. White and pastel colours would make it pure and fresh. Neutrals would make it sexy. And dark colours would give it an air of mystery.

Here are some of the runway looks that I love:

Elie Saab

I unfortunately didn't get to find out who designed this gorgeous dress :(

Erdem

Dolce & Gabbana

Herve Ledger

Mytheresa

Valentino

Elle Fanning's Teen Vogue Hair & Make-up! :)



I really loved Elle Fannings natural doll-esque make-up and braided hairstyles in the latest issue of Teen Vogue. I'm so happy I came across this video!! I'm inspired to try false eyelashes and to do the braids for when I go out. :)




I also found another of Megan's hair tutorials with is a simple and pretty simple braided headband which is great for summer!


Here are examples of the look:


1) Lauren Conrad

2) Nicole Richie

3) Nicole Scherzinger



Bohemian Waves

AHHHHHHHH!!! I finally found the PERFECT way to curl my hair into waves!! I was searching vids on youtube (particularly Vanessa Hudgens inspired ones), watched a few of them and came across this girls video. I don't know her name, haha.



It's perfect for me because we have the same layered hair and before, I used to curl the top layer first before the ones under and I believe I was wrong in doing so because I just made it harder for myself, haha. Anyway, I was wondering how she curled her bangs because I never seemed to get it right and in the video she shows how to curl your (layered) hair step-by-step. Best video I've seen so far in curling hair 101. She also mentioned she has a video wherein she curls her hair using a flat iron and I've been dying to learn how to do that! So that's definitely what I'll watch next. :)

I saw this other girl that did her hair in a cool way using a flat iron. I really like her technique!



Found a mermaid hair tutorial too! I love the first one better, haha.

Jet Black


My hair is finally JET BLACK!!! I’m so amazed how extremely contrasting my hair is to my skin colour more now, ahahaha.
I bought this semi-permanent henna dye and it’s pretty cheap. What I love about it is that it conditions your hair too while the dye is penetrating into your hair. My hair is super soft now. And when the dye stains your skin, it comes off easily. I also love that you can control how much dye and conditioning treatment you can use. If you still have extra, you can kept that and use it for touch-ups or for the next time when your roots grow. The 2-in-1 comb is handy as well for an even coverage of the dye in your hair. :)
I just freaked out a little when I was rinsing because my hair kept on bleeding. It took FOREVER to get the dye out. But my sister dyed her hair black too before and she said that’s what really happens when you use black dye, haha. 


So now I'm legitimately associated with my Snow White nickname. My hair is originally dark brown but now that I have jet black hair, I'm even whiter than I normally am, haha. And I feel like doing a Snow White shoot! Even my friend Seed said it's a cool idea and she can be the witch, hahahaha.

Dance Like Demi Lovato, BoA and Lauren


I wish I danced like them!

Merienda! :)


Evelyn made walnut brownies for merienda! :) The top’s a little charred but it still tasted yummy. Of course I’d have to eat it with milk and on our vintage china while reading my lovely tattered copy of Wuthering Heights.

PSYCHEDDDDDDD!!!


hghsdfjsjfjsafljsdfgisdgjvsdjgoujweoif!!!!!!! Just found out I'm in the Honor's List for graduation!!!!!!!!!!! My friend tagged me in a photo of the list. THANK YOU, GOD!!! and Lorisse for letting me know!!! I was hoping I got in! BOOYA!! ♥♥♥

Leighton Meester!!!


My friend Sarah just saw Leighton Meester live!! She said Leighton was sweet, beautiful and had a great voice. I’m so jelazzz! Look how close she was!! And doesn’t Leighton look great with her new fringe? ♥

That awkward moment when...

you see a cute guy and you look like a mess. *le sigh*

Finally bought black dye and as I got out of the store, I passed by this really cute Eurasian looking guy with platinum blonde hair. ♥ We looked at each other but I quickly looked away because I remembered that I looked like I just got out of bed (which I actually did): shirt, shorts and messy hair. D:

My outfit for a mixed weather would be...


... what Dakota Fanning's wearing right here (minus the white knee-length tights and the big skyblue bag because I think it's too much and it's not my style). First of all, I'm IN LOVE with those lumberjack-ish boots and WHERE can I find them? I say this can work for an off weather because of the different looks you can pull off with the outfit. When it's sunny I can just wear the white button down dress inside and the scarf to accent the outfit of which I can put over my head ala Audrey Hepburn (the vintage-esque mahogany bag and shades is a must of course). And then when it rains I can put on the loose army green jacket and tie the scar around my neck for a different look. I of course would wear my hair like that using an iron so my hair would be nice, silky, flat and effortless.

My perfect bowling outfit would be...





...Lucy Hale's cool rocker but casual vibe for when she hung out with her guy friends (Hollah, Colton Haynes!). I love the one shoulder loose rocker baseball styled long sleeved tee with the denim light washed shorts, brown belt and off white converse sneakers that gives this look a vintage feel. The yellow sling bag, bangles and dangling earrings give the outfit colour and adds a feminine gypsy-like touch. And her loose wavy beach hair is perfect for comfort. Comfortable but stylish all the same.
