Black & White texture

I love the simplicity in black and white combinations. Sometimes, it’s fun to take it to the next level by playing with different textures to give it a little more edge and contrast. In this case, I love the smooth and sleekness from the pencil tube skirt paired with the textured top. One sleek and smooth, while the other rough and textured. It’s kinda cool, don’t ya think?? That’s what I love about fashion. There are no set rules. You just make it work. This look is classic and tres chic. I feel like such an adult! Oh wait, I am one:)

If you follow me on instagram you may notice that I dyed my hair back to black. My hair is currently black but my blog posts will not reflect that. Apparently, I don’t work as a blonde! Sticking back to my Asian roots gets me more work. And that’s what I gotta do....so Asian it is! I constantly joke to my friends and castings, “Hey look, I’m back to Asian!” As if I wasn’t before;) Since dying my hair back in February (over 2 months ago!) I’ve been booking jobs left and right and been so busy that all my posts are pushed behind. Story of my life again. I have some posts from last year that still need to be published. Basically #FML. I’m terrible at blogging. Haven’t you noticed? I swear I will catch up...said no one ever;) xx jt

Falling for Florals

It’s Valentine’s Day and the only thing I’m really in love with right now are flowers. Unfortunately like love, flowers can be just as fleeting. For that one moment in time, love is beautiful, like a flower blooming its most radiant petals. Kind of correlates to the prettiest point in a relationship, and somehow it just fades. They just wither away and die, like love. (do I sound bitter or what? LOL I’m not) So what to do? Here’s my solution. You just wear it. Tis the season for beautiful floral prints...and I’m crazy in love for them.

Floral prints are definitely worth falling in love for and it’s all in the details. It’s feminine, cute and romantic. Oh come on, you can’t help but feel playful and flirty wearing them. Just like these two pieces from Alice + Olivia and Topshop. I love mixing up the floral prints and colors. It doesn’t have to exactly match but yet it just somehow works. I’m so in love:)


What are you crazy in love for? xx jt

Moss and MOCA

Better late than never (as the saying goes)...

I had the opportunity to preview the Kate Moss x Topshop collection a few months back in April (ahhh!!) and even purchased some pieces before it was open to the public. I just never got around wearing them, so I wasn’t able to post on the blog. My friend (you know who you are) says by the time you post this, the item will no longer be available. Story of my life. Like I said, better late than never! :)

So here it is...my favorite dress from the Kate Moss x Topshop collection! This embroidered smock dress is simply stunning. I love the intricate embroidered detail on the front, the colors are so pretty. And come on.... what a stunning dress to go with the amazing Jacob Hashimoto’s Gas Giant exhibit at MOCA. I match the backdrop!! I know, I know...isn’t this supposed to be a blog about fashion? Yes it is but it is so much more! I find it more aesthetically pleasing when it’s mixed with art...or just something cool. If you made it all the way to this page, I want to make it worth your while. Get some fashion inspiration and a little peep in what this city has to offer. Enjoy! xx
