Hats: Cloche

Recently I have been into hats. More so on hats from the 20s. I have just seen these gorgeous bell-shaped hats and I just have to get one! They look so classic and elegant and something that not a lot of cali girls would wear so it's perfect. I think that it is just subtle and not overbearing. Especially since I have seen lots of over-the-top feathery hats and big ornaments on the head. Don't get me wrong, I love the drama and I do own quite a few feathery headbands but I think this is a simple but still making a statement look. And it's fresh. This is something like Daisy Buchanan would wear while in her partying days.

Orange Scarf

Work was exhausting. I know some people work more than 12 hours a day and not complain but that's what I do most of the time. I complain. A lot. Ask my friends. I tell me complaints to them cause if I tell my mom, she'd just tell me to get over it. Well, I will eventually but I just need a moment to complain and let it all out. Yah know? Well, anyway, back to my job. It was a long day and it's like I wasn't doing anything at all but all of a sudden, bam! I'm working. But enough about that.

I did however read a whole lot of pages from "The Book Thief." I was engrossed by it. I could see why people here refer to it as a children's book. On the other hand, I agree why people in Russia refer to this book as a masterpiece. It was nothing that I have read before. I'll tell all about it when I actually finish it.

Fuck my arms and hips are so sore!

I put on this large orange scarf this morning. It was actually my mom's scarf. I was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and black sweatpants. I figured, a little color won't hurt. Plus, I kinda fit the theme of this month. HALLOWEEN?!?! So i draped one side of the scarf to my shoulder ala Miranda on Sex and the City: The Movie. Remember the scene where Steve and Miranda decided to meet at the Brooklyn Bridge? That's the one. Hers is not actually a scarf but a shirt with a big collar-top that has the effect of a scarf.

Before i got off work I fixed myself a little. Pouffed up my hair and had it in a bun on the side so it does not look too old-fashioned and instead look funky. I put on this pseudo-glasses. Since I kinda looked fierce I decided to buy a drink at starbucks. Don't know why but whenever I want attention, I think of Starbucks. So I arrived there with "Murder on the Dance Floor" (Sophie Ellis Bextor) blasting on my radio. Got a chai with soy latte (Ko's suggestion) and strutted my stuff. No big deal. It's funny how 5 minutes of my time took this long to tell.

Basically, I'm exhausted but I feel great. I just need some sleep which at this point is kinda impossible cause I decided to watch this taiwanese show online. It Started with a Kiss. It's really adorable in a very asian-ish way. It's not too serious nor unbelievable but I love Asianovelas. They don't take themselves too seriously. This is something, I hope, people shoudl not think of me. Yes, I have my facial expressions where I look like a snob but at those times, I have no idea what to say or I'm in deep thought or, the most common reason, is that I'm acting retarded looking into space. I am really nice. My humor is a little harsh but please forgive me or not cause let's face it, I'm not really apologizing, am I?

Spotted: The Iconic Queen B

On the latest runways and fashion columns, Leighton Meester proved to be a success. She has chic style that only her can carry well. Her fashion choices are different and sexy and has variety. This is of course is to be expected of the lady that plays the infamous Queen B of the upper east side, Blair Waldorf. Her alter ego, Blair, has also been a fashion icon for sophistication and class that may very well hide her scheming, manipulating, and hilariously bitchy side. While Leighton dresses a little more casual and chic, Blair belongs to the couture and classic world of Bitchdom. Here are a few of both women's fashion choices.
