Selahdor SS 2012

David Chum's Selahdor Spring Summer 2012 presentation captured the beauty of nature--the tranquility of a golden sunset, wispy clouds, sea foam and ocean waves to tempestuous tornados and lightning. This time around, pleats and folds continued to be a predominant technique in manipulating fabric like previous seasons, but tail hems and drop waists made appearances. The resulting feel was a collection profoundly more airy and free.

Check out the full show below. Erm, you may recognize someone as well. Thankfully, there was no falling involved. Lesson: Ever worried about your shoes falling off? Tape 'em to your feet!

I always love an ultra wearable collection with just a touch of zany (holographic pants and double-waisted bottoms!) thrown in the mix to keep things interesting.

Working full-time takes so much out of you. The first week I came home each night hungry enough to eat a buffalo but too sleepy to hunt down food. Having been a student my entire life up until to this point, getting into this new flow will take some time, but it's already much better than last week. I'm finding energy to work on my hobbies and run some errands (and blog!) after work.

Moving along, I love these new silk pants--the inky blue color, the feel of the fabric against my skin, and the relaxed fit. At the moment, I'm over skinny skinny jeans. It's either an unabashed bare leg or a pair of relaxed pants for me.

This weekend I'll have a different kind of post. I'll be walking for David Chum's Selahdor Spring Summer 2012 show. A toast to me not tripping. Backstage photos and possibly a video to come on the blog. See ya loves.

wish list

Still a little nuts over this Cast of Vices bag. I think I may have to finally give in. Designed by Hassan Rahim and inspired by those plastic bodega bags. Simplicity, a bit of edge, major want.

One of my favorite ways to spend my free time is going on day road trips with Foy, and a common destination of ours, a little under an hour away from Boston, is Providence. We pack up our laptops and then find a comfy coffee shop to work--it's the best way to be productive, enjoy a cup of coffee, and people watch. This time around we worked our tushes off at Blue State and ended the day noshing on beef carpaccio & lobster sushi and sushi "sandwiches" at 10. Epic amounts of delicious. I've been a lazy dresser this summer and this color combo of black, white and shades of camel and sepia keeps popping up. It's time to switch up my bottoms because these leather shorts are being worn to death.

One of the most productive weeks I've had in a long time. I started devoting at least three to four hours each day to learning Python (fer reals this time) and now feel more driven than ever to keep going. Being able to write your own program in an entirely new language is invigorating, almost like a high. I also wanted to mention that we've switched servers for Tag Loudly, so it should be running faster now.

I wouldn't want this entire post to be a snooze fest on programming and server stuff, so moving along.

Can you tell I've started using my real camera (aka not my iPhone) to take photos again? Thank goodness Sophia, I was starting to think you were getting too comfortable and out of touch. Next post could have been a phone photo of me cutting my toenails in my new silk PJs. Things are looking up I believe. Happy weekend!

why hello there

Truth is, it's been a roller coaster ride for the past month, as demonstrated by my very sparse posting here. Graduating from school and being instantly ejected from the academic bubble I've known the entirety of my life gave my mind a shock. There were a few days right after when I felt I was living in a haze. And pretty much around the same time, I got engaged (!), was applying for my state dental license, and working heavily on my startup, which was potentially going to put us in Shanghai for an indefinite amount of time pending VC funding. Startups in of itself are enough to push anyone to believe they live each and every day with bipolar tendencies. Long story short, some things fell through and made life pretty shitty for a bit. I learned to keep pushing. Invaluable lessons were learned. One can never plan too far ahead. Fluidity and adaptivity are key to moving forward.

This all brings me to the current moment. I'm staying in Boston for now, I'm still working on our startup, and I'm going to keep blogging. Life is good. Because my project is such a large part of my life, I'll also be putting up a separate blog dedicated to that in the very near future. You know, in case you're interested in peeking into that aspect of my life.

Anyway, thank you for reading and visiting even when there's not much here. Even when I take iPhone photos and post them here, ahem. I'm getting my serious blog on now, peeps. To many more posts! <3

dr who?

Yesterday's graduation. Not pictured are the fifty ton (I exaggerate, a bit) hood and the itchy multi-cornered tam. Anyway, it was truly surreal to hear Dr. prepended to our names. The thought of it still makes me stupidly giddy. I seriously wonder when the novelty will start to wear off. Now, the real world awaits.
