Fashion Emergency: Joey Found hand-embellished spiky studs and crystals on Converses.

This is not exactly one-of-a-kind Converse but you can make it to be - just for YOU. My friend, Isabel, introduced this awesome cool hand-embellished spiky Converse by Joey Found (Click link to see we girls rock his creations) to me but too bad that they didn't have her size but mine back then. 


I went to facial for IPL one time wearing this spiky Converse. When I was lying on the patient bed, my dermatologist promised me vigorously that she is going to take grrrrreat care of my skin.....then I was like... huh??!! She said that she saw my provocative shoes there, can't mess up with me ....lol {I think she is just being sarcastic.}. So what I mean is "You got to have this shoes!!" (no, I am not affiliate with any of Joey's production/website.)

Fashion Emergency: Lust & Must!

You know what we lust for and you know what we dig in instantly whenever there is a good steal!! The bottom line is identify your style and cultivate your taste. You can't possibly show-case your jewelry collection in one ensemble so you might just be selective with your add-on bling bling!! 


Must- Personal style!!


My friend, Pei, who doesn't need much fancy jewelry to upgrade her look nor show off her expensive assets with her outfit. {But that doesn't mean she didn't own or covet more heirloom jewelry.}  I am telling you, she got taste and she got keen eyes of finding deals and hidden treasures. Often I see her, I am impressed with her little-money-find but big style looks. 

Pei's La Garçonne style 
(Ensemble mostly bought from LF store (click it) in San Francisco) 

On her: White tank, grid cut-out cropped top, cropped pants, white loafer with holes and lots of baubles and bracelets!  

Pei's look of Casual Feminine. 

see through roses blouse, black tank, GAP burgundy cardigan, taupe polka dot shorts, Club Monaco Virgo birth stone ring {she is not a virgo, I am... ^O^}, White loafers 

Lust: Everything of Hermes {Seriously, who doesn't!}

I am meticulously attentive to details so I often complicate my ensembles and wear the maximum of the colors that I possibly can pull off on me. { you might as well notice it already.}  I think it is fun and I like Pei's style for the same reason that I barely get bored of her. {hint...hint, minimalist is great when I am bored with my carnival style, for once i'd wear my LBD. ...I am wearing LBD tomorrow to show case my new Hermes CDC.}

Finally, my small Hermes Collier De Chien collection. 
They are in different leathers, different shades and two different hardwares. I adore those fancy add-ons to jazz up my looks. 




{Balance my lust and the self-control....... currently under meditation. }

Fashion Emergency: Neon Colors.

If you still don't own any bright colors or anything neon, I suggest you venture out A.S.A.P. to grab one or a ton. You have a lot of selections and you just have to be brave!! Doesn't matter if they even glow in the dark,{Of course they won't!} as long as neon green, neon yellow or whatever all the primary colors you can find, they make perfect contrast on your ordinary outfit.

Marni gold dress, Lactos vintage boy friend neon green cardigan (bought at Urban Outfitter.com), J Crew skinny pink belt, Alaia laser-cut red tote 2011, Polka dot color-blocking socks, Castaner metallic silver wedge oxford 

We all need a giant and functional tote, don't we!! 

Create your up-to-date Vintage look.
