FALL'S CALLING

There are five days left of August and it is starting to feel like fall already in New York City.

This time around, the fashion world is in sync in terms of what we are carrying in our oversized purses.  The massive, "fashion bible" THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE.
I usually don't purchase magazines anymore due to the expansion of online media but when the September Issue comes out, I will purchase Vogue along with a couple of their competitors.

I used to be interested in the magazine industry but after interning at Elle during college, I changed my mind. My time there (about 7 months) was too short to really understand what this world is about but it bored me a bit to be honest. I did learn from it and certainly glad I had the experience. Who can really complain working alongside style director, Kate Lanphear (coolest.person.ever. I'M OBSESSED. and she drinks diet coke everyday). I heard she left Elle now and is at T: The New York Times Style Magazine.

Almost two weeks after purchasing these, I got to sit down yesterday and finally open them. 

Sundays are the best (except Sunday night when Monday is near).

However, I only got through Vogue for now...I swear these get thicker and thicker every year.

Currently wearing these colors in Gel mani. Fall always calls for this deep red color...burgundy..oxblood...red wine...maroon..however you like to call it. 

The purse I use frequently these days, and the outfit I repeat a lot. YES, I am an outfit repeater.

I realized blogging is somewhat hard. I still haven't had a chance to thoroughly write a dedicated entry (these photos are from my instagram)!  

Hopefully I can get better with my time management with balancing work-my loved ones-my health-and my newest member in my life: my blog :)

No.1

Dear you,


After about 38278343 years of saying that I will make a blog...the day has finally come on July 25th 2013 2PM.  I initially wanted to make a blog in high school as a teen, when my only dream was to move to New York and attend Parsons.

NOW, I am no longer a teen but a twenty three year old lady (I'm not a girl, not yet a woman-moment).
I am no longer in high school nor in college but a working lady.
I feel more at home in my 1 bedroom apartment in New York rather than in my parents condo in Los Angeles.  Most likely because they moved out of the house I grew up in after I left for college.
I still recall the phone call where I was crying to my dad about moving from a house in La Canada (where I grew up) to a condo in Downtown LA. My tears worked and he took the house off the market ...hehehe.  Daddys have such a soft spot for daughters (and tears). **s/o to my daddy: ILOVE YOU DADDY**

However, that did not last. BOOOOOOO* but I told myself Annie, lets get real. It is inconvenient for your parents to commute every single day to work. Hence, now we (more like they) live in LA. First it was Downtown LA but now in Koreatown, aka KTOWN aka the town of soju and scary people with no eyebrows! JK, kind of.

OKAY, I just got extremely sidetracked and made that story unnecessarily long.
The point is, my blog starts today and I am extremely excited to see where it takes me!
I hope to post inspirational and relatable entries about my daily life...the good//the bad//the fashion//the food, etc



I will end it with my favorite picture taken by my talented photographer friend, Caroline Kan.

PS. My hair was not an ombre. I just had no life and no time during my thesis to go get a root touch up
