J'adore Paris!

I am in love with Paris..and this cute polka dot dress by Tularosa. I’ve always associated cute stripes with Paris, so thought this pattern of polka dots is a nice change from the norm and a perfect fit with the Parisienne vibe. And how it flows and flows! It’s the perfect summer dress to have, and such a great alternative to the many flower pattern dresses that we see year after year.

As it is my first time visiting Paris, France, I can finally understand why it is such a romantic city. The fact that the sun sets after 10pm gives you the opportunity to do more in the city and you end up staying out late. I love wondering around the streets of Paris during the midnight hour with twinkling lights reflecting over the Seine. Making new friends in random places and in odd hours. Joining the daily hustle n’ bustle of the Parisienne life. Taking the metro like a Paris local. Having café au lait and fresh croissants every morning at the local bakery. Watching the Eiffel tower light up and sparkle every night. This city of love and light…je t’aime!

What is your favorite city? I think I finally found mine. :)

Hello. It’s me. Adele.

Ok, ok it's Juting. But I do love Adele;) Yessss, I’m back after a long hiatus. If you follow me on instagram, you may know the reason why. But I’m happy to be back after all this time. Time passes quickly but one thing that stands the test of time is love. Love for life. Love for your loved ones. Self-love. Love of foooood. Love for all the materialistic goods in this world that you can’t take with you to the afterlife. But really, how about love for beautiful timepieces by JORD Wood Watch. Yes, you read that right my friend. A watch made out of wood. I was completely intrigued by such a cool concept. This eco-friendly company handcrafts these beautiful timepieces using only natural wood. It feels good to help the environment and in return, still look good wearing it. My favorite from JORD, is this Frankie series in Ebony and Gold. The second (pun intended) I saw this watch, it was love at first tick. It’s classy and chic, and most importantly it looks good with everything.

Valentine’s Day is coming up. And if you’re in a relationship, this is a perfect gift to give or to receive for oneself. There are so many beautiful options to choose from in both JORD Men’s Wood Watches and Women’s Wood Watches. Take a look for yourself! I am a firm believer (especially when you’re not in a relationship around the hallmark holidays) in self love, getting something you want even if you have to get it by yourself. Ain’t no shame in that game people!

Lady in Red

When in doubt, wear red.

Especially knowing when the backdrop is going to be with this beautiful turquoise waters. There’s something quite enchanting about long flowy dresses…and really, any solid colors will do against breathtaking scenic backdrops such as this. Wind blowing, ethereal, mystical, free spirited and simply beautiful. For once, I was prepared! I brought a lot of long flowy dresses...Hallelujah!

You should really try it. You owe it to that little girl inside of you...yes, the part of you that never grew up. Be playful! Live a little! Get/wear a long flowy dress, walk around the beach like an idiot (ha!) and have a friend take a few snaps even if it’s from an iPhone. I did! You won’t regret it.

Maybe I just want to be that emoji of the girl in the red dress from the iPhone. ;) xx jt

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
