Recently, I went to the debut of the Madewell clothing store in San Diego’s Fashion Valley Mall. Slowly, Fashion Valley is turning from a hoity toity label and designer brand mall to including a broader range in apparel. For the premier of Madewell, I decided to dress up a little black dress with pops of …
In my previous post, I told you a bit about the latest fashion event I went to in downtown San Diego: Fashion and Finance. Because it was a talk about finance and fashion, I didn’t go all out styling, but more casual chic. I wanted to look good without screaming “fashion blogger.” So I opted …
I am bringing back my favorite, and only, maxi skirt for this outfit of the day blog post. I literally have not featured an outfit with it on since late last year, but that doesn’t mean it has been hiding away in my closet. San Diego’s lovely weather has allowed me to wear this skirt …
I absolutely loved this outfit. I wore the shirt to work with some slacks and the Steve Madden burgundy pointy toe pumps, then came home and switched into this skirt to get lunch with a friend. It just shows you how you can take an outfit from day to night in a snap, or from …
I never realized how many fashion events there were in San Diego on a weekly basis, let alone how many blog fashion events there are. My favorite is Nubry, they always are putting on great fashion collaborations with stores and events. Recently, myself and a few other San Diego style bloggers attended a blog unveiling …
If you look at my past OOTD blog posts, I am not much of a grunge person. But since buying these super loose and flowing skull tanks I can’t help but dress a little dirty, a little grungy but all my own. If there is one thing that these tanks have taught me is that …
I love the look of high-waisted shorts on slim girls. I think they are so cute, especially with a feminine bralette or crop top. My boyfriend hates them, and I understand why but he also wears a V-neck t-shirt and shorts almost everyday.Fashion and style aren’t really his thing. Today’s outfit of the day is …
I am trying to win tickets to the Lucky Fabb Conference in LA! Click the link and vote for my look! Get me to Lucky Fabb 2013. Since becoming a part of the San Diego Style Bloggers community it has opened so many doors to local events and fashion opportunities in the …
Attending Dapper Day 2013 at Disneyland Resort was kind of a spur of the moment thing. I had wanted to go after learning about it a month ago, but without an annual pass it wasn’t really an option. Finding an outfit was difficult. I am not much of a themed dresser and dressing from the …
I love love, and I love holidays that make people feel romantic like Christmas Eve and New Years Eve and most importantly, Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day and our anniversary means that I get to spend all day with my boyfriend, which is great because most the time I have to share his attention with other …
The title is necessary because it hailed in San Diego today for like 10 seconds..let’s just say it caused a freeway to close due to a large pile up of cars and my Instagram went HAM with hail pictures. Way to go San Diegans. Anyways, I have been in love with thigh high tights since …
It is always a challenge finding something to wear in the winter. How do you change up an outfit and make it practicals for the rain or snow, puddles or flowing sidewalk rivers, while still looking good? This was a fashion dilemma I faced everyday living in Seattle when I was in high school. During …
Most faux fur fashion accessories have a habit of looking cheap so I have never shopped for anything faux fur before, besides a vest (but it has been unsuccessful). Finding affordable fur accessories or pieces that are in between plus size and regular store sizes is hard. Especially when you aren’t willing to sacrifice quality …
I realized my love of burgundy for being sort of a neutral but still a color, it’s kind of like navy blue. It is a fabulous color for the fall and winter season, because it is rich and dark but isn’t black. My friends and I had a Girls Night Out the past few days …
On a recent Target trip looking for knick knacks and stocking stuffers, I found this sea shell print blazer and it is absolutely adorable. I am not a fan of print but in a jacket, I just can’t resist. A sea shell print on pants would be a risk because of my curvy thighs, but …
Winter in San Diego isn’t something I look forward to, so I head to Julian for a small town Christmas experience. Even though I knew my winter printed leggings I posted last week might make me look fat and chunky, I purchased them anyways with the off chance that they would look good. I am …
My favorite part about my in between girl body is my ankles. Hands down, my ankles don’t gain weight. I don’t get “cankles” no matter how much fatty unhealthy food I eat, and that makes me happy. But I do suffer from bulbous calves that I curse at and remember how much I hate when …
Tonight concludes my adventure with Fashion Week San Diego. Plus size fashion by A’doreaus, creative evening wear from Andre Soriano and Kenneth Barlis, and accessories by Love is a Devil made the crowd giddy with excitement. It was a great turnout, San Diego’s press and media were able to make it out for the big …
I was on Twitter and I saw that one of my favorite Singaporean bloggers, XiaXue, tweeted regarding her most recent cover shoot. Here is her tweet: Did homegirl really just say Adele only gets to grace covers because she is fat? Oh, wait no it is to make a point. I don’t think she realizes …
Yesterday, I stopped by my aunt’s house to visit some of my unofficial family (when you are Asian, non blood relatives become your aunts, uncles and cousins just by association and how much your family likes them) only to find that no one was home besides my cousin. To make up for wasting my gas, …
I have thick thighs, I have thunder thighs, I have thighs that can squeeze lemonade out of lemons.. It’s a hard knock life when your thighs aren’t slim and slender. I am not saying my thighs are toned and muscle-filled but it also isn’t jiggly white fat. If you have thick thighs, you know the …
I am no professional photographer, not at all. I don’t claim to be able to make you look 30 lbs thinner, I can’t direct you like you are a model to take good pictures. But if you ask me to capture a moment with my camera, I will put the effort into it to make …
“Fat,” it is used as an insult today as it has been for years. When someone calls you fat it is supposed to do several things to your self esteem and the way you see yourself. Common thoughts that go through a fat person’s head when someone calls them fat: Well, that hurts I thought … Continue reading »
I don’t do too many makeup product posts because makeup isn’t really my focus in the morning. From Monday through Friday, I will admit…I don’t wear makeup. Eeeeek! It is scary to admit and it makes me feel like a slacker because I always say look your personal best and put your best foot forward … Continue reading »
I wasn’t sure what to wear to a posh party. When I hear “posh” my mine automatically thinks of Victoria Beckham in the 90s in her black slitted dresses and platform shoes. It had been chilly and rainy the past week, so the clouds weren’t looking to promising. I opted to go for a casual … Continue reading »

Poshmark enthusiasts, fashion lovers and style bloggers gather to mingle and chat about what people are selling and check out what each … Continue reading »

Now what am I going to wear? hmm.. Continue reading »
I really liked the way my outfit looked today. I think I have a thing for orange and pink because this is kind of like my third orange and pink post. Maybe I need to get another blazer, I am kind of getting bored of my blazer collection. It has been a while since I … Continue reading »
