Design back to nature. :)

I stumbled upon this website from a San Diego based store called Pigment.

...I'm in Love! ^-^

It's right up my alley. Friends that have been over to my place know that I love combining modern furniture with natural, eco-chic pieces. I've been obsessed with air plants recently. I got inspired from visiting my friend who works at ABC Home in NY when I was there and created a hanging branch chandelier with fishing wire to create a "floating" effect. It's a true conversation piece. It's the first thing people notice when they walk in. A little creativity goes a long way! :) I hung baubles on it, along with a glass dome with air plants in it, like the following:

If you're too lazy/busy to diy, this website has a spectrum of adorable findings that borders eco-friendly and simple modern, which is right up my alley! ^-^* And they're priced very reasonably. ;)


And they have these sweet wall plant hangers. Don't you love how it brightens up this kitschy little space and brings breathability to an otherwise industrial feeling room? I can't wait til I have a large space where I can implement these!

And how adorable is this herb set for the kitchen? What a cute gift idea. :)


They even have a small fashion section with some decent finds, like this bag. It reminds me of NY! It would be so handy and I could see myself wearing this around Brooklyn on the weekend to throw in my finds from the Brooklyn Flea. ^-^ It's 22 bucks! What a find. :) And it's 100% recycled, just so you can feel extra good about the purchase. ;)

Toodle-ooh ya'll. Have an awesome weekend!

newwww peectureeees!!! :D

I spent the past month breaking up with my boyfriend, moving to LA, roadtripping to Colorado, and doing photoshoots (amongst catching up with friends!)... weeeeeee...!!! lol. It's been hectic. Anypoo, here are some picky pics. ;D 'cause that's all we really care about, right? ^-~*


So I had the good fortune of collaborating with an amazing team on a project entitled "A Melting Pot of Thoughts," spearheaded by Mai Bui, one of the founders of 13 Minutes Magazine. It's a compilation of short stories with authors ranging from creatives to scholars. Mai wanted to give the Asian community a voice in an uplifting, light-hearted yet profound read. Keep posted! It'll be published soon!


So we were shooting the cover of the book, whose forward was written by the gorgeous Michelle Krusiec, the actress. Here are some terrible-quality photos from the shoot: (haha!)


This is a "before" photo of Michelle I found online while researching her.

This is a terrible iphone snapshot during the prep on set.
This is Michelle in a traditional Vietnamese dress. Gorgeous huh? :)






Yesterday I swooped in last minute to fill the place of a makeup artist who flaked (TERRIBLE!!!) at Studio 1444 in Hollywood, run by my good friend Alen. But it was auspicious for meeee... because I got to work with aspiring pop artist Tracy! She's a sweetheart from Florida with a delicious voice.

This is one of her last looks of the photoshoot.
Alright ya'll! Have an awesome weekend. Btw I saw Paranormal 3 last night and almost peed my pants. >:T One of those cheap scare typa movies but it WORKED!!!
