Happy Holidays!

Because there's no better accessory than a great big smile, I wish everyone a very, very, very happy New Year! :)

(Dress with origami pleats from Forever 21. Snakeskin heels from Charles and Kieth. Both Christmas gifts from my generous and stylish mother.)

I Love Wearing Animals!

The felt panda pin is another accessory hand-made from Aranzi Aronzo's patterns.

(The dress is from SM. The day after I bought it, I saw the same dress at Topshop. Exactly the same, except for the price. This one, thankfully, was about 70% cheaper. SM rocks.)

Visual Height

Today Ben, a co-worker, said he was surprised to find out that the tall female stranger he saw in his peripheral vision turned out to be me. He said maybe it was the illusion created by skinny jeans and heels. It must be a pretty powerful illusion because at 5 feet I am, by all standards, extremely petite.

¡Hola Señor Acid!

I love love love the cross-dressing feeling that comes with donning menswear pieces such as this tailored vest.

Cuffed Jeans Look No.1

Inspired by this photo from  The Sartorialist, I've been wearing cuffed jeans to work quite a lot. Here's my first attempt.

I'd prefer slightly slouchier "boyfriend jeans" rolled-up a little more haphazardly and worn with heels. Still searching for the right pair though (both jeans and heels). 

Bang! Bang!

What I like most about this is not the lady-like pleated dress or the soft pink cardigan but the small necklace pendant hanging from a delicate silver chain: a semi-automatic handgun.
