HI THERE, IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIFIC YOU'D LIKE TO READ?

“I’m too sick to blog.”

I’m sick which means I have a valid excuse to fill out a survey stolen from Lisa and not publish a proper blog entry (whatever that means). :P I changed the title because I don’t like to consider myself a “fashionista.” You should see me on some of my lazy days… you’ll totally want to stick fashion-faux-pas stickers all over me.

Who is your favorite designer?
Coco Chanel, Vivienne Westwood and Alexander Wang.

If you could come back as a dress, what would it be?

Dior

This haute couture dress was wayy back from Dior's Fall 2007 collection but I just love the color (and the head-piece)!

If you could come back as a model, who would it be?

Gwen Lu

Gwen Lu

Hyun Yi Lee

I also love Hyun Yi Lee's look (these are two of my favorite editorials).

Junk food?

POUTINE GOODNESS.

POUTINE GOODNESS. Great minds think alike! And here's a giant picture of it to make you drool.

What are you most vain about?
Just presenting myself in general …unless I’m lazy and would rather sleep in.

What are you most shy about?
My feet? I hate feet and I have ugly feet.

Who are your fantasy dinner-party guests?

Marie and Georgiana

Marie Antoinette and Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. I consider both of them the queens of fashion in their time yet they both had such a tragic life.

Fantasy celebrity one-night stand?

<strong/>Jaebeom from 2PM” class=”size-full wp-image-5198″ /><p class=Jaebeom from 2PM. Those guys can't really sing but they sure can dance!

Favorite place to have a drink?
I don’t like sipping on drinks… so maybe at a club taking hard shots. Fruity drinks are for FRUITS!

Underwear?
Anything that doesn’t show an ugly line!

What can’t you travel without?
My purse … WITH EVERYTHING IN IT (wallet, camera, iPod, BB, lip gloss, etc.).

Last book you read?
Last book I finished (finally) was On the Beach by Nevil Shute.

They are the last generation, the innocent victims of an accidental war, living out their last days, making do with what they have, hoping for a miracle. As the deadly rain moves ever closer, the world as we know it winds toward an inevitable end…

At age seven, you wanted to be…
I think I wanted to either be a pediatrician or a surgeon but then late in my senior year at high school, I realized that academics isn’t my thing.

What’s the thing you find easiest to forgive?
Anything.

What’s the thing you find impossible to forgive?
Nothing, I never linger on the past… just forget about it and move on. Well, unless someone borrowed my books and ripped the pages then that’s a different story.

Biggest self-indulgence?
FOOD. :P

Favorite place to shop [brick and mortar]?
Zara, American Apparel, Mimi McQueen, Bebe, Forever 21, H&M, etc.. I shop anywhere and everywhere.

Favorite place to shop online?
Depends for what. I’m always browsing for books on Amazon, also love Asos, Top Shop, Patricia Field Online, Charlotte Russe and TONS more.

Whose diary would you most like to read?
My puppy’s (assuming she could write) because I always wonder what the hell she’s thinking.

Mochi sleeping and in need of a hair cut.

Mochi sleeping (or pretending to because she doesn't want to listen to my annoying nonsense) and in need of a hair cut.

Least favorite food?
Can’t think of anything specific but I’m not a huge fan of spicy foods … boyfriend threw a pepper into my rice bowl once and I ate it and was on the ground for like 2 hours dying. I can’t take the heat!!

If you were an inventor, what would you invent?
Something that would automatically wash and condition my make up brushes. Washing brushes is the biggest chore in the world when you have so many yet you can’t not do it.

Who are your favorite furniture designers?
My dream home would consist of Clive Christian’s furniture but I’d mix it up and modernize it a little more with Roberto Ventura’s designs.

By Roberto Ventura

Car?
I just want a nice SUV… nothing fancy. I love the Lexus RX400H.

What was your childhood nickname?
Chi-chi (I think it was derived from my Chinese name) but pronounced Gi-gi.

When and where are you happiest?
In my bed sleeping in and not having to wake up early.

What piece of art would you most like to own?
An original Alfons Mucha.

What are your favorite vacation spots?
I haven’t taken many vacations but my ideal vacation hot spots aren’t your typical beachy places but it’d be places where you can totally experience culture and has tons of history. I’d be sight-seeing and visiting old temples— not lying on a beach.

Most treasured possession?
My computer hard drive (total nerd answer).

Favorite fictional character?

Legolas

Legolas from Lord of the Rings. Come here you hot, white-haired elf.

Favorite musicians?
SS501, Big Bang, 2PM, Epik High, Wonder Girls, Jinusean, etc. I remember I was obsessed with Korean hip hop back in my preteen days (the YG Family were my gods) and now the obsession is back but this time it has also spread to K-Pop— I have shamefully turned into what they call a “fan girl” once again. I also love Phil Collins, Bryan Adams, Cold Play and Lady Gaga but Asian music I can’t understand FTW (did I just say FTW?)!

KOREAN MUSIC ARTISTS

If you had another profession beside your own, what would it be?
Either a hair stylist or something to do with fashion. I’d consider a professional blogger but I have a feeling I won’t enjoy it as much if it were to become a “job.”

What current trends would you like to see disappear?
Skinny jeans and converse and the most obvious … dun dun dun … ED HARDY. Don’t worry, I don’t judge people who wear Ed Hardy (haha) but I would just never wear it myself. Well, unless Boyfriend wears it then I’ll TOTALLY judge his ass because he should know better. Anyway, I came across another nasty trend that will be added to my list of hatred:

Skinny Harem Jeans

Skinny Harem Jeans. Ah.

Favorite trend of all time?
Jeans tucked into boots and statement jewelry.

Always…
…eat without feeling guilty. Good food means a good life. Mmm. ;) *waits for all the health-nuts to beat me up*

Never…
…let what other people think or say get to you.

Fabulous Fashionista: Michelle

I was lurking Chictopia the other day and stumbled upon an absolute gem from Indonesia… a gem named Michelle! I’m totally loving (and envious) of her style. She has what every girl wants… the ability to pull off any look and still look hot. She could be my stylist any day! MICHELLE… COME TO VANCOUVER!! ;)

Micchie @ Chictopia

You have a variety of looks but what’s your favorite?
I have a variety of styles since I love to experiment and see how each style looks on me but what I love the best is to dress up simple and girly— which is why finding a perfect dress is important. I’m also a spring girl and I love bright colours, floral prints, lace, ruffles and anything sheer.

Where do you get your inspiration?
Just like most people, my style is always changing. It really depends on my mood or the inspiration I get at that moment and lately, it’s from other Chictopian users. Some of them really have really great style and are very different… it’s amazes me that some people really have such great styles and are so creative about what they are wearing!

Favorite brands:
3.1 Phillip Lim, Camilla and Marc, Karen Walker,and Rag and Bone.

Style icons?
My “star” style icon is Nicole Richie… she is effortlessly chic!

What is one piece of clothing / accessory you think every girl should have?
Shoes even though they are usually pretty expensive. I love statement items!

Favorite purchase EVER?
My latest favorite item is my black Birkin. I’ve been on the waiting-list for 6 months before I finally got it! It was actually a gift from my mother-in-law.

What tops your wish list?
At the moment, it is the limited-edition shoes by Christian Louboutin for 3.1 Phillip Lim. They are so gorgeous and just takes my breath away. :)

Top 3 must-haves in your wardrobe?
Great dress, jacket, and perfect shoes and you’re good to go!

Worst trends?
The worst trends were in the 70s when people when wearing disco outfits and had big hair and headbands.

My HG Make Up Products Pt.2

Check out part 1 of my My HG Make Up Products!

My HG Make Up Products

  1. Martinsville Emporium Lipbalms

    Glides on your lips like butta, makes them shine like stars and they have a gazillion delicious flavors to choose from. Every time I put some on, Mochi tries to jump all over my face trying to get a taste of that yummy smelling scent; too bad for her to are all unsweetened which is good for you or you’ll be licking it off all day too. My favorite it the lemon meringue. :P

  2. MAC Phloof

    I’ve been meaning to buy Phloof for years (yes, years.. I’m that lazy) and I finally got around to it a couple weeks ago. I love Shroom as a highlighter under the brow but I love using the pinkish and shimmery Phloof all over my lid.

  3. Benefit Hoola Bronzer

    I’m always on the look out for a good bronzer and the BFF introduced me to this one (I was using Laura Geller before which I still love). Benefit has another plus— their packaging is so cute! There is nothing more nastier than seeing a girl with two orange blotches on their cheeks (especially if it’s not blended properly) so a good bronzer is important!

  4. Christian Dior DiorSkin Forever Compact

    I hate wearing heavy foundation so when I do, I’ll use DiorSkin Forever compact. I use to be a real lover of mineral foundation but this compact is what more convenient because I don’t like carrying a kabuki brush around with me. It’s lighter than foundation, it’s waterproof and it makes my face look flawless.

  5. MAC Mythology

    I love Mythology! It’s a very pretty rusty-looking color… I don’t use it alone but I do love blending it with other colors (eg. looks great with black for a smokey eye).

  6. Ardell Gisele Runway Lashes

    If I could wear ONE pair of eyelashes for the rest of my life… these Gisele lashes would be my first choice. I own like 20 pairs of them because I’m afraid of running out. Um. Who wouldn’t want lashes like Gisele’s? :P

  7. Coastal Scents Concealer Palette

    I still haven’t found the perfect concealer yet but so far, this CS palette is my favorite. I love how you can blend the different shades to find one that matches your skin tone and it’s super affordable. I’m not a huge concealer user (always forget to put it on) but this palette might change that.

DYNAMITE!

Look
Purple top and a scarf from Dynamite. Leggings and leg warmers from AmericanApparel. Bag from Le Chateau. Wrap from Forever 21. Booties from Spring Shoes.

This is NOT a sponsored post but I also want to write about one of my new favorite stores: DYNAMITE! I’ve been shopping there a lot recently because their clothing fits me like a glove and if you’re like me who goes through clothes like cans of Rockstar, they are super affordable. Dynamite has beautiful yet simple basics you can really layer and accessorize to create an outfit that suits anyone’s style and for endless occasions. My favorite buys from them, so far is my white blazer and of course, my shiny leggings!
