I Am In Love with Pinterest

dearlydevoted's Fashion Pinterest Board.

What have I been doing lately? Well, aside from checking ulzzhang, beauty Tumblr blogs, and tackling the world, I came across Pinterst via Oh! Joy blog. Pinterest is a "place to share collections of things you love -- whether that's food, art, clothing, or books." I love the picture-driven format where every item gets a neat white border and label. A virtual pin-up board which is ALOT easier then how I would just save random photos to my hard-drive and forget where I found the original image source.

I'm inspired by blues right now. Miku, above, is my current desktop.

Summer Travel: Stylish Jet Setter Packing

Who wants to travel? I do, I do! Of course, the fantasy of travel is doing it in style. I love daydreaming about destinations, how I would pack, what to wear, keep myself comfortable on a luxurious, international flight (oh to win the lotto...).  I spend alot of time fussing but to me, packing adds up the fun to it (when its for pleasure and not for work!). 

Here's a mix of high-and-low priced travel accessories I picked to brighten up my trip experience. 

Clockwise: 19" HIDEO JELLY BEAN TROLLEY YELLOW, $185, MOROCCO SQUARE ORGANIZER   $28. SLEEP MASK ROYAL BLOSSOM, $22 at Flight001.com.  Proenza Schouler Large Leather PS1, $1995 at Barneys. Evian Spray Mist, $12 at Sephora. PAR AVION BAG TAG, $18, TOILE PASSPORT, $18 at Flight001.com

My first destination: Tokyo!

More posts to come on the topic of travel. It's really something I enjoy. 

Bath Time is the Best

Photo taken with ToyCamera

Summertime is here and the living is easy, as the song goes. Cashing in on relaxation time since I'm off from school. What does this mean? I discovered Lush Products and am still dabbling in nail art. This time, I'm sporting bubblegum pink nails with white french tip.

Surprisingly fragrant and bubblelicious. I love the Frosty Glitter, it turns everything pink, shiny, and perfumed in a non-overwhelming way. The Amandopondo is a delicate rose scent that's a nice floral accent.  Rather than crumble everything into the bath, I take chunks at a time so I don't waste it all in one go (not that decadent!). They are a perfect indulgent gift to yourself. 

AMANDOPONDO and Frosty Glitter, $7.95 at Lush.com

Retail Therapy + Early Birthday Surprise

 I'll be rocking these at a summer wedding soon. Rachel Roy Olla Sandals (Black), $83 at Rachel Roy.

Despite their looks, they are surprisingly comfortable to walk in! Major important as I'll put these sandals to the test for a summer wedding and later in New York.

My BF surprised me with an early birthday present ~ my dream bag I've been coveting for years...

Tada! The Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 in Damier

Summertime Nail Art

As the weather heats up, you look for ways to cool down. Aside from shedding layers, I'm playing around with nail art this summer. I'm sporting a nail design I call Peppermint Tips I created myself.  Not too shabby for my first attempt at a French manicure? 

Inspired by Fuck Yeah Nail Art, a tumblr photo blog.

My Daily Tech Accessories

Notice the color coordination? I'm fashionably picky. I've been meaning to document my latest looks. I love looking at the latest smartphone cases, decal skins, etc.  Here's what I'm rocking: 15" MacBook Pro clad in a Speck Shell Case, Western Digital Backup HD, 

JAVOedge Cherry Blossom Book Style Case for iPhone 3G

JAVOedge Cherry Blossom Book Style Case for the Apple iPhone 3GS/3G (Twilight Purple)

Adore the Cherry Blossom print with the geometric patterns of this case. 

Matching interior inside with room to store my ID and Starbucks Reward card.

Protects my iPhone from getting scuffs in the front if I drop it. 

If you're wondering, Cher is a Japanese fashion brand. Got the sticker from a J-magazine.
