GAIA

top by Tommy Ton // bottom by Phil Oh

Kate Lanphear has long been my #1, but I'll never be as completely cool and edgy and androgynous (or leggy) as her anyway. Sometimes I just want to be a comfortable tomboy. Plus I do have moments of breaking my all-black streaks with color here and there. So with that side, Gaia Repossi has been the fashion figure I feel most akin to these days. Her makeupless nonchalance and casual ease are such great contrasts to the crazy shit she wears. That's a big formula for me - finding balance in looks.

HONOR

On my first day of NYFW I went to the Honor show and was lucky enough to wear a cardigan coat from their Fall 2012 collection. Wasn't there a tropical tornado you say? Wasn't it in the 90s you ask? Why yes, but I pose you this... when have I ever worn weather-appropriate attire? Sure some show-goers threw some confused looks my way but not as ardently as this passer by. I mean I'm out of focus, but clearly that's not the most important part of the photo. I'd like to think that 2% of those who made this face, were more jealous of my outerwear than concerned I might have a heat stroke. It is, afterall, a beautiful gorgeous wonderful dream of a cardigan. That I may have come very close to stealing. Damn morals!

EYES TO THE SKY

top: Ray Bans // bottom: Oliver Goldsmith

Before I left for New York, I was so relieved to have finally gotten some new sunglasses. As an Asian, it's really hard to just casually find glasses anywhere. I know some people who don't care, but I personally don't like floating glasses syndrome (no nose contact). I sort of resigned myself to forever wearing wire rim glasses because at least the nose pads are adjustable. Imagine my surprise when David at Leonard Opticians custom fit a pair of glasses for me and now I finally have a pair of cat eyes. I thought the Ray Bans fit fine, but he tweaked those perfectly as well. What a difference going to an actual optician makes rather than some fashion eyewear store. If you're in LA you should check out their new location.

Fashiony things afoot! Stay tuned!
