STAY HOT: CLASS OF 2013

School year 2010-11 is finally close to coming to an end. I still have a lot of tests to take before I finish this year but I am still very glad to be done with this year! I would rate this year as one of the best school years I have ever spend in my life! It was by far the AWESOME year. Now I can not believe that I am going to be a junior and also one step closer to graduating high school. This is unbelievable. I am writing this blog post just amazed that we are almost close to an end. I will miss so many things that I had this year and I believe that a year like this would never come back. This year was just a box to goodies for me. Full of joy and love with my peers because I shared so many memories with them, met great people, and learned a lot of new things. Things may include lessons that would help me soar through out my life. I would miss this group of people so much through summer (even though summer is MEGA short). I am planning to visit Hong Kong this year for the second time and I am  not sure if any of my peers are going to hop on the plane for a little rest. I hope you all take a rest and go on a vacation with your family and not just stay at home and study for your SAT’s (not saying this is not important). A little vacation may actually boost your energy up when you are studying! I am giving you all a KUDOS for ending this year and I hope to see you next year all nice and ready for junior year. CIAO!!

Hello Denim?

It is time to say hello to Denim. Denim, according to dictionary definition, is a sturdy cotton twill fabric used for jeans. Jeans are always around. Every season at least one person in my school classroom is wearing jeans. They are obviously one of the long lasting fashion trends alive. However, the blue denims do not always come back every season. This spring summer season blue denim is the “it” item. Overalls, shirts, dresses, accessories, and etc there are so many items that are made out of jeans. And of course many celebrities top their look with denims. You know us teenagers always copy the “looks” celebrities wear. A lot of people consider jeans at casual or sometimes uncomfortable. However, the denims out this season show so many different styles. They can be feminine, cute, casual, and even tom boy like. With a few cute accessories you would be able to find perfection in your summer looks this season.

Alexa’s denim playsuit look is my favorite so far. I love the way she matched this playsuit with the simplest accessories possible. And once again I feel denim looks best with white shirts or t-shirts.

This look is an example of a bad denim look. Jessica Simpson’s clog with denim look was perfect until she matched a yellow shirt underneath her denim shirt. The look does not compliment the denim but emphasizes her yellow shirt. She could have matched a black t-shirt inside instead.

Tips to TOP your Denim look

1) match is with a white shirt or white t-shirt

2) sneakers

3) bold accessories

Likfe Alexa and Jessica there are ways you can top your denim look and fail your denim look. I hope all you readers can be the ones who can top your denim look on the street!

TrendyExercise:Biking

These days I see a lot of people in the city riding bikes around. My mom is one of them. She is the type of woman who just can not stay still. She always has to do something to keep herself fit. These days it seems like she is into riding her bicycle! I’ve seen a lot of paparazzi cuts on stars out on a bike ride and I just thought that was possible because they were in the states and not in Korea. However, I noticed that Korea is providing people a lot more places to cycle unlike my expectations. They have divided the pedestrian streets into two making a biking lane and also the Han River has constructed beautiful corses along the river where we can bike! This is really awesome. Korea is actually becoming greener as biking is becoming a boom. I noticed that biking is environmentally friendly but also it helps you keep your body fit as well. A lot of Korean celebrities say that they keep themselves fit by riding their bike where ever they go. I personally was also amazed by how fashionable you can be while riding a bike. I personally love people who wear a white t shirt with jean shorts. This is a very easy every day wear but you can look natural and chic.

I absolutely was amazed my Olivia Palermo’s fashion on her bike. She was stunning. She matched a simple black shirt with black shorts. This simple fashion is natural, feminine, and chic. Plus thay Birkin bag added another boost to her look. Like Olivia, there are so many ways to top you biking look. But don’t forget sunglasses are a must item for biking!:) Hope you guys would enjoy biking this summer! Ciao!

Botox and Eight

What do you think of when you hear the word “botox” and the number “eight”? These two words are very hard to be paired up. However, I was very shocked to see a news on my iphone this morning. There was an article about a mother giving her 8-year old daughter botox shots. I’ve heard a lot of adults who get botox and say that botox is very effective in making them look younger or prettier. I believe that people who try their best to make themselves look better is a good thing. On the other hand I believe that having botox shots in a very young age would be bad for you and is not really recommended because faces grow as people grow up too. Having botox shots would not be good for growth. It is known that the mother has lost custody of her daughter recently. I personally believe that this is a good decision because if I had a mother who injected botox to me I would be scared. And it is maltreatment. What do you guys think? Would you be happy if you had a mother you injected botox for you? I think I would grow up to either become a beauty obsessed individual or a person who has fear towards making themselves beautiful. Either one of them are too extreme. I would like to become a person who can balance natural beauty and artificial beauty. Is the mother giving her daughter botox because she wants to pressure her daughter to become prettier? She believes her daughter is not pretty enough? How is that a mother? All the mothers around me believe that their daughter is pretty the way they are because they look at their daughter’s inner beauty. I believe that this mother should learn that physical beauty is not everything from this experience. This is too harsh for her. I think all those so called “pageant moms” are insane. I hope they consider their health as much as they care about the “lines on their face”.

YOUR CONCEPT?

Are you one of those people who love to spray perfume and feel confident when you spray perfume? I am one of the perfume maniacs. This week I was surfing on the web and I found this awesome website. It is a website called “blood concept”, originated in Italy. This perfume company’s theme are blood types. There are four main blood types we know: A, AB,B,O. Each of the four blood types have their own scent. The design of the perfume bottles are very unique. Unlike other perfume bottles that are often made of glass and have pretty designs on it this perfume has a very simple box and is just indicated with the type of blood type. Aromatic, Woody, Mineral, and Leather scented according to A, AB,B,O blood types. The website indicates what scent is added to the formula so it is very easy to assume what type of smell your perfume would be.  This perfume is only 40mL. It is not as big as other perfumes. I bet this perfume has the most unique scent and no one around you would have this scent. The price of this perfume is not exactly stated on the website and yet I did not find any shops that sell this. For further details please visit bloodconcept.com

WHOA!

Critically that girl over there looks pretty flattering. She is stylish. BUT honestly, please. Do you like those pants? I mean when I first saw those pair of wide pants I was surprised. I am personally not a big fan of wide pants. I remember myself refusing to wear flared jeans when it was the biggest trend a few years ago. I don’t really understand myself because I am usually a person who dies to be in trend and follow the most “it” way to dress. This made me think why I don’t like wide trouser pants… First of all, they are trouser pants. The word trouser makes me feel uncomfortable with it. Too formal for me. Second of all, unless you are skinny wide pants do not look good for you. At least thats what I think about wide pants. If your thighs are about of burst out of your pants and your calves are so lose, it looks too awkward. So let’s say you bought the pants few sizes bigger than your original size, then imagine how your waist would not fit. These pair of wide pants are hypocritically made for skinny girls around the world. Maybe those skinny girls out their deserve to have their own customized pants that only flatters their type of body. This was why I think wide trouser pants suck for me. Since they are back in trend this season, I guess I would have to be the untrendy one because I can not bare myself wearing those pair of pants. Do you guys want to try? or do any of you agree with me?

Hunt Down the HUNTERS!

Monsoon is coming up in Korea or at least it will come in a few months! I hate rain because I feel sticky and the air smells bad. But the air feels so fresh after all that rain. Have you guys ever walked in rain with sandals or sneakers? Aren’t they awful? Wow, they are disgusting for me. I decided to help you guys out this season. Hunter rain boots would be our savior this year. My personal favorite model from HUNTER is the Regent line.

They help your legs look longer because they have the unbalanced cut. I have seen a lot of people who are petite wearing long hunters, but I think they are a little bit too much for them. For those who are petite should wear the short HUNTERs. They still block all the rain but are shorter than the normal Hunters. They would make your legs look much longer and you wouldn’t look so overwhelmed by your boots!

For those who love the luxurious “stuff”, the HUNTER Jimmy Choo collaboration is perfect. The boots is still made of rubber but they have added texture to resemble the crocodile skin. Absolutely luxurious. You can match these with cute socks or even on leggings. Preferably jean shorts or shirt.

I hope you guys have a look at HUNTERs online or even offline and become fashionable during a sticky rainy day!  The photos I showed you here is only the little tiny bit of the Hunter collection, so have a look around more!
