21-year-old me who started this blog in 2014 trying to wear leather, stilettos, and corporate appropriate clothing would be so proud of myself turning 29 this year and wearing pieces from dream brands that I've always written about. I discovered Cecilie Bahnsen in early 2016/17 and at a time in my life when I was still figuring out what my personal style was; it was a brand that was not only out of my imagination of what my style would be but also way out of my budget.

Fast forward to the present day, and while I still have to think *really* hard before checking out a Cecilie Bahnsen piece sitting in my cart, I'm quite happy to have slowly built a wardrobe around clothing that makes me feel comfortable and happy to wear for all sorts of events and places, like this baby angel top that I've been packing on every trip this year.

Neutrally

Every fall day is exciting for me since I can bundle up in a cozy sweater (peace out bikini season, haha). I know the leaves haven't changed their colors that much yet, but when I stumbled upon this wall of foliage, I just couldn't help but cam-whore in front of it for the longest time even though there were so many people around me. Funny, because I didn't think I wanted to post this look up since it's very similar to a post that I've shared last year, plus it's not like I haven't worn this sweater enough (here, and here). I guess it just goes to show how much I really love this sweater as well as how it's the perfect match for a pair of leopard flats. I was so lucky to come across this sweater last year from Zara, because I've been on a hunt for a similar one and the price range is just way off the charts. Even so, I think that if you find the perfect cream sweater, it'll be a worthy investment for years to come.

Anyway, I'm just so excited for October and all the things to come -- I can't believe that there's only a few more months left of 2014. I've had this blog for about 2 years. Started off with photos that were taken by myself through self-timer, so I'm incredibly proud of how much it has grown. Also, I'm so thrilled to be sharing with you some cool projects in the coming weeks. Thank you for all of the support and I hope you stay tuned for all the exciting updates!

Space

For someone who prefers green grapes over red ones. Chardonnay over Merlot - I sure do make an exception for wine colored dresses.
Space is important for me, in terms of personal physical space, work space, social space, creative space, and just space to be alone in general. My wardrobe is pretty much a reflection of my daily habits and who I am, hence making space for a dress that's deep burgundy means that it must be something special (bravo, Magali Pascal).

A little color in my life is at times necessary to break up certain routines that I inevitably fall into due to comfort.

If you know me, you'll know that I hate a clean background. To fill up the negative white spaces - I created a mirage-like photo-weave with some outtakes that would usually not make it to the blog. It's been a while since I've done some post processing to my photos, so I hope that you guys enjoy this series.
