Material Possessions I Have Accumulated Recently

I've always wanted to attempt to start a fashion blog, not necessarily pose in my outfits and post the cute ones, but just post and comment on random shit I think is pretty. (Hence the title of the blog). How about I just start with taking pictures of my stuff and talking about it. HERE GOES:


I got this silky-looking scarf at Buffalo Exchange the other day. I took in a bunch of old clothes, was going to get like $45 in cash, decided to spend $5 on this. So far I have worn it on my bag. I always love silky scarves but alas, fail at trying to wear it in my hair or all French and stuff. Try harder.


Here is the ~$50 wallet I got in Taiwan to replace my beat-up fake Coach one. It is a really beautiful green plaid pattern with brown leather, the brand is something like Beverly Hills Polo Club or something and seems unique to Asia. I was a little skeptical about the structure of the wallet but the leather is starting to soften and it is growing on me.


And here is a wooden kitty. I think it's pretty lolz. Meow :3

Srsly though I have been pretty good about not buying stuff this past month.

Why You Should Put On Clothes (and How)

While college is a great way to show off your style, wear what you want, be accepted and all that, it does actually mean you should put on clothes. Like actual going-out clothes, not your pajamas or sweatpants (or underwear *cough*Irvine*cough*) As much as I enjoy lounging around in fat comfy pants and t-shirts at home, here are some reasons why and how I keep these clothes at home (or the gym, but we all know how much I go there ha).

1. Regular clothes are just as easy to put on
Changing your clothes takes so little time. Why not go from homeless-look to stylish-look in less than five minutes with a change of pants? It's silly that some people can't be bothered to put on decent clothing, especially if you're going to class - maybe you can't be bothered to pay attention either.


Sweats should not be worn in public. Uggs should never be worn period. I've never understood why people wear Uggs (especially in the summer) or sweats, and unfathomable why they'd wear them together... do they elongate your legs maybe? Make you look less like a chunky Eskimo?

2. Regular clothes make you more alert
Going off on that last point, putting on going-out clothes make you feel like you're out and not just in the comfort of your own home. There are other people around that you have to consider and things you have to pay attention to. It puts you in the right mindset to focus (if you're in class or taking a test) - not fall asleep. Instead of lumping around (and looking) like a sack of potatoes, you can look fresh and ready for whatever the world has in store for you!


Mmm potatoes! but not an attractive look

3. Putting on clothes makes you look modest and decent and not like you're in your underwear

This is not an outfit. This is your underwear. Underwear should not be worn as outerwear. That includes wearing leggings as pants. No picture provided because no one wants to see every cellulite curve of your lower body. Save it for the gym.

But still wanting to look mildly promiscuous? The trick to being revealing but not like a street hustler is to expose certain parts but keep it modest everywhere else. Case in point: show your legs, but cover up the top -

Kate Moss is a good example. Cover up! And put on some real shoes (ie. not flip flops)

4. Running shoes do not go with dress clothes
Until recently, I've never noticed how silly it looks for guys to wear nice khaki pants with running shoes. This look is mainly channeled by Asian dads or other equally nerdy guys who are noobcakes at dressing up. If you're going for a business casual or slightly dressy look - running shoes should not be in the equation. Especially when your pants are too short.


Hmm... which one doesn't look right? There are plenty of comfortable-slightly-dressy shoes out there - try a little something called matching.

5. Don't wear clothes all from the same brand
Okay this last point doesn't have much to do with the previous ones, but annoys the balloons out of me. Remember high school, when it was cool to have "ABERCROMBIE & FITCH" emblazoned across your chest and all other body parts, announcing to the world that you have succumbed to their mindless following? Well in the real world, it isn't.

If you wear clothes from all the same brand (especially Hollister, AE, Abercrombie), that is not called having style. That is called overpaying so you can assume the role of their walking billboard. Yes, you match and look put-together - well duh, because everything is from the same store and all look the same! Not to mention that in A&F ads, none of the models seem to be wearing any of their clothes anyway. BAD IDEA (see above points).


Not sure what they're trying to sell here, but it's definitely not clothes. The end.

Style Evolving

So I recently read this brief article, and while at times I like to think I have my own "unique" "style," I think it makes sense to change it up according to who I'm with (or who I'm dating, in this case).

Because it's pretty natural to want to blend in with the group and dress accordingly. Not to perpetuate stereotypes, but last semester I had a computer science class right before an English class, and what my classmates wore were pretty different between the two (way more girls in English, for one).

And to address the couple transformation: guys are such good accessories for girls to have on their arm... wouldn't you want to kind of coordinate and match and look awesome together?

Example: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the ultimate power couple. Looking fierce in black.

I'm not saying to be matchy-matchy (I mean you Stephanie... just kidding), but don't be so outlandishly different that you don't look good walking around together. I think you can fit in, but you can also stand out while doing so?

(but this does not mean going sweats and pajamas during finals season - ugh)

I love shoes bags boys

Yes, so today I'm going to discuss bags. Or more specifically, this bag:



Doesn't it look fantastic and amazing? Such a handy cube shape too, and since it has so many colors it will match any outfit! Score!


This model really manages to show off how amazing this bag is. The dalmatian look really completes it.

One downside. If you really want to seem like a hardcore cuber, this bag may not be the right fit. If you noticed, on the first picture, there is a red-orange side, and a white-yellow corner. These pieces do not exist on a traditionally colored cube. Only if you're retarded and don't know the order of the colors. In the model picture, it looks like there's a corner with two white sides. Sigh, amateurs. Experienced cubers will notice this at once. But to everyone else, having this bag will make you look super smart and classy.

I personally cannot afford the $18, I would rather buy a real cube or a real timer. But this is a must-have for you, you can purchase it here
