I don’t like bras.  I’d go braless if it wasn’t for the whole nipple issue.  Which leads me to disclose a great solution: an overpriced fashion sports bra.  It’s comfortable and covers side boobage.  Love it.  Plus it makes a bare back a bit more interesting.

I’ve been getting an eyeful of the men’s shows.  Any favorites so far?  I felt that even though they were spring collections most of the palettes were very dark.  Maybe that’s why D&G and Bottega Veneta stood out.  But Ann Demeulemeester and Burberry Prorsum were my favorite.  All the stark white Demeulemeester pieces really made an impact on the runway and the Bailey’s “heritage biker” boys were badass.  I think Moustache Man needs a pair of those leather pants!

I first saw Hansel from Basel on UO and was intrigued by these kneepad tights.  They were on sale but I never got them because I was trying to “economize.”  Silly girl. Fortunately, I’ve been seeing the brand all over online shops and found these pair of over the knees at lambs ear.  I think the ways to style them will be endless!  Check out La Garconne’s Le Magazine for some great examples/ideas.  Over the knees can be tricky because of how high they hit on the leg, but it’s nothing a little scrunch or two can’t fix.

P was furious when I used his books for photo props.  He considers himself a serious intellectual and can be quite guarded about his literature.  We’ve since patched things up.  The books came into play because I was cranky from cramps and not feeling it.  I think it helped pep me up because of how difficult it was to keep the books from flying off my head (especially when spinning).

When I yawn, I let it all out.  Why hold back when it can be known to everyone how thoroughly bored you are?  But I tricked you.  I’m not bored in this picture, I’m nervous.  It’s a condition called agoraphobia and both Moustache Man and I are coping with it.  Weird thing about this dress.  It’s a vintage find from Popkiller, but I saw a girl wearing the same dress on a phone commercial.  Even more weird, she looked like me.  I don’t mean because we’re both Asian, but because we really looked alike.  Hmmm, I wonder how much commercials      pay . . . I bet I could buy some fancy cupcakes with that cash.

Moustache Man (photographer extraordinaire) has insisted that we take more photos outdoors, so it is what it is.  Our gem of an alleyway and me sporting pirate chic.  These Acne matador pants are fantastic, they button up to be super high-waist or fold/flap down.  Here they are up.  I have a couple of things to look forward to next week: a package containing goodies (!) and a creative idea from a good friend.  Can’t wait to share!

I hate golf.  You’d think the sport should be sacrosanct to a Korean gal such as myself, but athletics were never my strong point.  However, if my mom had forced me to take lessons as a child and I happened to become the next Se Ri Pak, I would have forsaken the polo’s for this outfit.  Not practical I know, but isn’t that what fashion is sometimes?  I took this dress in myself.  The black band wasn’t fitting and hung unsightly near my bottom.  I’m quite pleased with my newfound tailoring skills.  Shiiiiiiit.

La Mimi has chosen me to be Fashion Idol of the Week!  I am very excited and would love if you took a minute to check it out.  Show me some love.
