Rory Beca for Forever 21: Spring 2012 Collection
March 6, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Alongside the Orla Kiely x Uniqlo collab, the newest Rory Beca capsule collection for Forever 21 also hits a sweet spot in terms of its affordability. Prices start at $15.80 and ends at $24.80. How great is that? The dresses and tops are feminine and airy with beautiful colors and prints that are perfect for Spring and Summer. I’m totally crushing on anything with both the floating feather print and the watercolor print. The high-low maxi dresses are also rather beautiful.
Strange Collaborations: OPI x The Amazing Spider-Man
March 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment
So this May, OPI will be launching their “The Amazing Spider-Man Collection.” I’m still digesting this because on the inside I’m honestly still a bit confused about this collaboration. I can just imagine some Hollywood executive waking up one morning and asked himself what would be a probable movie tie-in that would help make it rain. Spider-Man toys in a fast food chain’s kid’s meal I get, but NAIL POLISH?
Free Shipping @ Sasa + Cult Asian Beauty Products
March 2, 2012 by 4 Comments
I love this site!
This weekend (3/2 – 3/5) sasa.com is offering free shipping when you order $29 USD and up. Usually they only offer free shipping on purchases $75 USD+ so this is a pretty good deal!
Sasa is pretty much an Asian Sephora that offers everything from low-end to high-end brands. In terms of presence and popularity Sasa is akin to Starbucks as it is literally on every block in Hong Kong.
Sasa is one of my favorite places to buy Asian cosmetics and I’ve been buying from them for years.
If you’re like me and have been pretty unimpressed by the quality of BB Creams by Clinique, Garnier, and other Western brands in general, check Sasa for a bevy of Korean BB Creams that started the craze in the first place! Japanese BB Creams are also highly recommended!
Here’s a list of cult products and some personal favorites from all over Asia!

Lauren Conrad’s Spring 2012 for Kohl’s
Reality-TV star Lauren Conrad’s LC Spring 2012 collection for Kohl’s looks breezy and fun. I really like the pastel style colors and clean lines. I also like how all the pieces in the collection go together. This is a well thought out collection.
Kohl’s? Yes, I admit I shop at Kohl’s. If you are on a budget and you don’t want to go to Ross, Marshall’s, Nordstrom Rack and drive 50 miles to the outlet stores – might I suggest Kohl’s? You can find some great items for Spring & Summer.

Etsy Finds: Peanut Pocket Knife Necklace
February 23, 2012 by 1 Comment
Cute, practical, and doesn’t cause peanut allergies. $32
I don’t know about you gals (and guys) but even after hundreds of late night public transit rides, solitary walks home in click-clacking heels into the wee hours of the morning, I get a little anxious about my surroundings. More often than not my hands are fisted around the keys in my jacket pocket.
Here’s an item that may make you feel a little safer.
This cute necklace inconspicuously hides a mini pocket knife within a peanut pendant.
The perfect gift for yourself or for other late night travelers.

A second collection for Season 6 is currently in the works.
Orla Kiely x Uniqlo
February 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Every time I read about Uniqlo I turn greener and greener with envy. There is an absence of Uniqlo stores over here on the West Coast though they’ve greenlit both a San Francisco and a Los Angeles flagship for the finite date of…eventually.
Brand Debut: Les Merveilleuses de Laduree
February 8, 2012 by 1 Comment
What is that? Is Laduree, the world renowned patisserie that has the world’s best tasting macarons selling rose petals now? Nope. The image above is blush. All one does is run a brush across the petals before dabbing them on the cheeks for the perfect glow. And I thought Guerlain’s Meteorites were the fanciest thing in the world.
Albion, the manufacturers of Paul & Joe Beaute and Anna Sui‘s cosmetics line is one of the largest cosmetics company in Japan. Supposedly, Albion’s own in-house lines are favored by the Japanese royalty. Needless to say, the brand is top shelf and is well versed in the art of designer collaborations. The Les Merveilleuses de Laduree is another carefully crafted brand that perfectly combines high quality, elegance, and beauty.
The packaging is to die for.
Bass Loves Rachel Antonoff Spring/Summer 2012
February 6, 2012 by 2 Comments
I like Bass shoes. I like Rachel Antonoff’s clothing. The two combined reduces me to a puddle of goo on the floor asking the store clerk for a size 6.
I was a huge fan of their Spring/Summer 2011 Collection with their reworkings of Bass classics in fresh colors and prints that could be styled up or down depending on one’s mood. The collection exuded a feminine and whimsical sensibility on American classics and whispered treasured memories about a time already gone. Personally, I grew up wearing black and white saddle shoes and remembered scuffing them up on the playground and getting terribly tan under the sun. Of course whenever I returned home my mother would complain about the state of my shoes and my unladylike behavior.
The Aftermath: Target, Jason Wu, and the Vultures
February 6, 2012 by 1 Comment
On Saturday at midnight, I hit up the Target website to get my Jason Wu fix. Of course, 80% of the items were already sold out, but luckily I was able to score the Sleeveless Chiffon Navy Floral Dress with Gold Belt. My online experience was smooth as there were no gaffes, hiccups, or failures. This was a great surprise as The Great Missoni for Target Debacle of 2011 was an excruciating experience filled with crashes, errors, slow page loads, and most painful of all – items disappearing from cart en route to checkout.

Every so often, there is a new fabric being put to use in clothing. Now it’s recycled coffee beans. Californian based sportswear company VIRUS uses their patent technology on their StayWarm Series of active sportswear clothing for men and women. The StayWarm Performance Series uses Coffeee Charcoal which are recycled coffee grounds infused with the fabric to keep the body warm and moisture out.

This not an April’s fool joke. It’s the Avengers’ Cologne set by JADS. The Marvel set includes: Patriot Cologne for Captain America, Mark VII Cologne for Iron Man, Smash! Cologne for the Hulk, and Worthy Cologne for Thor. Question, where’s the Black Widow perfume?
Lost in Translation @ Japan Retail Store
January 17, 2012 by Leave a Comment
A Japanese department store wanted to tell customers about their awesome sales event – but got the wrong English translation in their ads. If it’s a f****** sale”, I think it should be more than 20% off.
