pastel lilac - chromatic

Asos Floral Top and Lilac Jeans | Suede Pumps | H&M Rosette Clutch | Vintage Rings

I had a one-day excursion in the city yesterday with friends, not only for leisure but for research purposes as well. My friend, Bernie Su, who is currently doing character research for an upcoming project that he is writing, decided that he wanted to shadow me as a fashion blogger as I take outfit shoots. What started as an idea over a cup of coffee resulted in seven outfits, six hours and one fun day in San Francisco. Needless to say, I have plenty of ensembles and sights to share. 

First deciding to hit Embarcadero, I wore this pastel lilac-chromatic two piece. Like I've mentioned previously, I'm slowly but surely making room in my closet for pants. So when I saw this pair of pastel lilac jeans on Asos, I couldn't say no. And although I'm not usually one to care or follow fads and trends, this pair of jeans couldn't fit in better with the current pastel trend that's taking over every fashion blogger's closet while perfectly satisfying my soft pastels color obsession.

nude in chloé

Even though the Chloé Floral Perfume is the only realistic item that I can nab off this Chloé-ified wishlist, it doesn't stop me from drooling over those scalloped ballet flats and logo engraved band ring. And that dusty nude leather shoulder satchel? Maybe with a few months' worth of savings after I manage to make the purchase a justifiable one.

Update: Having gone through one of the most stressful weeks of my life (so far) was an experience that I am truly glad is behind me. The weather finally decided it was going to rain so this past week has been all but sunny, with the exception of today. In other news, last night I celebrated Jordana's 18th birthday with friends and a huge meal at a Thai restaurant and free re-fills of Thai iced tea. A great bonding drink, I have to say.

Viewed a showing of My Week with Marilyn yesterday and I have to say Michelle Williams couldn't have portrayed Monroe any better. Lately, I've been on the grind with work and school and it's been quite busy. So relieved to have this three day weekend ahead of me.

girl crush: lana del rey

In love with Del Rey's retro vintage sense of style and husky voice. Not only is this gorgeous crooner dressed to the nines, her face is perfect. Now excuse me while I go barrel curl my hair and practice my best pout.

winter formal

Asos Petite Angel Dress | 2b Ring | Vintage Necklace | Tangerine Studded Moon Bag c/o StylesSofia | Kelsi Dagger Evonna Booties | YSL Lipstick

This is what I wore to my last high school winter formal a couple days ago. It's predictable to know that most girls would opt for fitted formal wear, so instead I went for a more light and breezy look. This double layered dress with a lace trim underlay and semi sheer angel wings couldn't be a better statement dress in a sea of dark sequined looks. You can peep into my archives to see what I wore to last year's formal, here.

gumba's for the best f.'s birthday

For my best f.'s 18th birthday, we headed out with dinner plans at a local Mediterranean restaurant only to discover we were an hour early ahead of their opening schedule. Not wanting to wait around, we decided to make an impromptu change in plans and headed to Gumba's for an Italian birthday meal. Both being pasta lovers, we weren't disappointed. As for my outfit (first of 2012!), I'm all about texture so it resulted in mixing shaggy, sequin, chiffon and leather.

Happy 2012 guys! These are some shots that were taken in 35mm while shooting for my Style Sofia homepage feature. Dripping in all things sequin and glitter, I felt it suited the first post of 2012 since I wasn't able to get good shots of the outfit I wore on New Year's Eve. Spent the night of NYE attending a friend's party which led to an unexpected turn of events afterward. Overall, the last few minutes before midnight were well spent with a group of good friends toasting cheers to a new year with drinks as the ball dropped. Much to look forward to this year! Cheers, everyone!
