AIC San Francisco 2010 “United Streets of Fashion”
Last week on Saturday, June 19, 2010, I was very lucky happy to attend the Art Institute of California - San Francisco's annual graduation fashion show "The United Streets of Fashion". If last year I was very impressed with their Fashion Metamorphosis show, then this...
What I wear: leather jacket and trapper hat
When I was in Paris in 2007, I fell in love with the concept of thrift shopping. So one day, I got this awesome, beat-up, snug brown leather jacket that I instantly fell in love with.
One trip to local H&M got me this trapper hat from the men’s section (Who cares? Fashion knows no gender). After several days thinking about the photo shoot concept, I arrived at the girly aviator idea, complete with long blood red scarf and black outfit.
What I wear: LBD and black heels
When I was in Rome, Italy two years ago, I came across this half sweater that just intrigues me soooo much. So I bought it :)

AIC-San Francisco 2009 “Fashion Metamorphosis” (part 1)
I now believe that annual students' fashion show from art institutes of San Francisco is anything but a student's fashion show. They have modern flair, attitude, glamor, and most important of all, a point of view. The Fashion Metamorphosis from The Art Institute of...
Leaving a Part of Me in Paris, France
My EuroTrip is over. And two years from now, I still remember how special the trip was. Even though there are some things that are hard to get over with. It was my first ever EuroTrip, and I surely, sincerely wish it's not my last. The world is so rich that it's so...
A week in Germany
Two weeks ago, I visited a long-lost friend in Germany (I hadn't seen her for the past 7 years!) whose companionship I absolutely enjoyed. During her busy schedule of taking care a family, finding an internship, and planning to move, she still managed to give me...
