Cravings: PS1 Pochette

I have been searching for the perfect red arm candy for the longest time, from Prada's Saffiano lux tote to SM's Falabella Tote. When I was in New York this past weekend, I tried on both the Lux Tote and the Chanel Grand Shopper (eventually pulled the trigger on the Grand Shopper because of the beautiful and supple leather and blush color). 

But this is something else - this PS pochette is the perfect accessory for any occasion, especially in the Spring.

Products shown:

1. Prada Saffiano Lux Tote

2. Stella McCartney Falabella Tote

3. Chanel Large Shopping Tote

4. Proenza Schoulder PS1 Pochette

Happy Wednesday! Hope you are all having a good week so far.

Ever since I bought these wedges from Chinese Laundry (show in this post), I have not been able to take them off. They are so comfortable that I wear them to work for 15 hours, then on the weekends, even when running errands. Thus why I decided to purchase another pair of wedges. 

They are so comfortable as well! Can't wait to pair them with other pieces.

Lookbook: Cheese Board, Marina and A Sunny Saturday

I am so glad the weather is getting better in San Francisco. Today's weather was a beautiful mid 60's weather with just a hint of sea breeze. I spent some quality time with my beautiful roommate by getting Cheese Board pizza, eating it at the median of the street while enjoying live music from the restaurant and soaking up the sun, then visiting the Berkeley Marina. 

Saturday's Cheese Board pizza: roma tomatoes, red onions, french goat cheese, mozzarella, herbs and garlic olive oil

I don't believe I've ever seen Cheese Board without a line

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are all having a great week so far. I just got home from work, but a couple of more weeks left until I'm back to the 9-7 grind (and more time to blog!) 

These photos were taken last Sunday. Since I got the day off, the Mr and I decided to hit up a brunch spot in Emeryville, California called Doyle Street Cafe. This cafe's been here for two decades and they are famous for their Eggs Benedict - so delicious, I might just do a post on the food! 

I love these red jean! The Mr wasn't such a big fan when I first put it on, but hey, he has to put up with it.

Lookbook: Getting Down to Business

I have not disappeared off of the face of the Earth! Work has been so hectic lately, any of you who work in Finance..I feel you. Working until 11pm, going home and passing out, then waking up and do it again at 8am isn't meant for anybody, if you can make it your career - I admire you! 

Weather in San Francisco hasn't been too lovely, but I shouldn't be complaining - it's only rained about 3 days here, nothing too crazy like the other Coasts. 

I love carrying this bag for work when I don't have to lug my laptop around. It's an ostrich-stamped leather tote from Furla. The structure of this piece is simply amazing. 

Hope you all had a great weekend! Happy Lunar New Year too!

What did you all do this weekend?

Cravings: a 85mm f1.2

I've been into art and photography ever since I was young, having developed my own film from a dummy camera at the age of 8, I fell in love with how a camera can distort the photos in some exquisite manners. Unfortunately, DSLR these days cost an arm and a leg. But when I finally saved up enough money to purchase a decently made camera, I used it to its full advantage and lugged it around while traveling. This is probably one of my favorite pieces: 

Brooklyn Bridge, New York, NY

But if you know a thing or two about photography, the better then lens, the better the photo; the better the lens, the more expensive it is. Thus my next goal: save up for the Canon 85mm f1.2.

This baby is a thing of beauty. 

What kind of lens are you loving?

Lookbook: Like A Princess

I wanted to do a quick jewelery post before enjoy my short-lived freedom from work and studying. I picked up this Jose & Maria bangle from Neiman Marcus today while wondering aimlessly in the afternoon, enjoying the sun shine that San Francisco rarely gets at this time of the year. 

Jose & Maria bangle + Ippolita bracelets

This Jose & Maria bracelet is a little heavy compared to most other bangles since it's made with 24-karat gold electroplate decorated with pave iridescent white Austrian crystals. But it's so precious and beautiful, like a Princess's crown. 

Hope you are having a great Monday so far!

Inspirations: Spring 2012 Campaigns

As the Spring 2012 campaigns slowly roll out, I can't help but gasp at some of the new designs. Pastels, neo prints, bold contrasts are all over the campaign photos, here are some of my favorites so far.

And wow, this Chanel campaign is so beautiful, so creative. Chanel's done it again. 

What are your favorites? 

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! 

Lookbook: These Boots Are Made For...

Hello! I've been so busy working and studying (cramming, guilty) for my exam on Monday that I haven't had the chance to shoot any outfit photos. Not going to lie, I've been lounging around in my gym leggings and my trusty Under Armor hoodie for comfort, but I have already planned out what my next post will be, and here are a couple of pictures for a sneak peek!

Soft suede and leather blend

Solid wood heel for extra support and wear

Until Monday!
