my other stylish friend jisung. less is more.

MARNI

have you checked out marni website? i love everything there. if i could wear only one brand of clothing for the rest of my life, i'd wear marni. (if they were free! ha) the coat in the last photo,, i need it.

preparing for fall

sorry about the dark photo. i got these vintage over the knee boots at the flea market today. pretty good deal for the condition and i love the camel color.

little purse

i hung out with my friend Bo (the owner of mohawk general store) today. she's always so stylish. i couldn't resist taking a picture of her bag. (also i love her cuff. )
so chic!

thoughts

I realized that i've become a pretty positive person lately. i kind of learned how to pull myself out of the black hole before i go too deep. you know what i mean?

I'm loving the summer nights. it smells so good now.

I've been meeting many new people (through my blog,,, through brad,,) they are all very creative, kind, unselfish and happy. : )

am i posting too often?

i die

more rachel comey shoes via creatures of comfort. rachel, can you hear me? i'm a size 6 just in case you want to send me some.

walk, neighborhood, 96 degrees.

sooooooo hot. i'm speechless. i'm without a speech.

boots

rachel comey boots at mohawk general. arrrgh. so perfect. i won't try them on coz i know i wouldn't want to take them off. ever. somebody please buy the size 6 so i can just forget about them.

weekend

i spent my weekend taking pictures for silvia song's small bag collection. silvia wanted rami to model for the lookbook so it was a fun little project for us. (except the weather was WAY TOO HOT!) i took the picture above after we were done with the shoot. i'll post more details when silvia song's website is up with the lookbook i worked on. it was so nice to meet silvia. she was so modest, funny and easy to talk to. can't wait to meet her again this week and show the photos.

they are my first air plants. so lovely!

happy weekend

one of the baby bunnies who lives in our yard. magic!

penguin models for me

!

rami just posted about her new desk and i too finally got my office back. brad's been using my room as a recording room and i've been working here and there in the house. (sometimes in the garage) also brad gave me his old desktop! yay. so i'm going to work here for video and photo editing and some office work and use the garage for painting.

sweet.

photos via tattoologist

i've been thinking about it lately. i kind of want a few tiny ones but what if i don't like it someday? do you have a tattoo? do you ever regret it?

(when i was in school, i got my nose pierced and i regret it now coz i have a hole in my nose that looks like a big pore. )
