New York, as always, presented nothing too exciting. While I'm patiently waiting for Paris and Milan fashion week however, Matthew Williamson's collection caught my eye. The clothes are exquisite, chic, and yet very wearable .Here are some highlights:

I just realized that this entire summer, I have developed such a nonchalant tone in my speech. It makes me sound so indifferent and distant. I hope people did not take this wrongly. I have been pretty busy now days so my mind might not be all there sometimes ...but I actually meant to talk to you/whomever whole-heartedly

New Fashion Icon: Mélanie Laurent

Aug. 26th, 2009 | 04:40 pm

Mélanie Laurent extrudes effortless glamour...Not to mention she can hold the most perfect bitch-face ever!

I discovered Mélanie Laurent in the awesome Inglourious Bastards (muse see movie). Being the Francophile that I am I immediately developed a girly crush . She has the quintessential French style of chicness that looks so easy and non-fussy. Everything she wears seem effortless. She is also not afraid to make daring fashion statements. Gotta love her !

Here are some of her chic everyday ensambles:

Fed Up

Jul. 20th, 2009 | 10:00 pm
music: Gazette - DIM

 I tend to make very big (as in life-changing) decisions at the last minute on a whim and . Such as the time in Parsons School of Design I suddenly decided that I wanted to do Biology instead of fashion design. That was 2 days before transfer deadlines. And I somehow BS-ed myself through it.

Anyhow. I just took a shower, and had another epiphany
. Basically, I'm pretty much fed up with the whole Med School thing. I've just stressed my brains out studying for the MCAT (I actually had headaches from thinking so much!). Now after taking the MCAT I am stressing about completing the primary applications. There are more applications to go after that. Plus interviews.

I have decided to wait two years instead of one to apply for medical school. The advantages are numerous:

1) I had promised my current boss that I would commit to working for two years for her. Taking a two-year break from med school would honor my promise and save me from having to be a lying horrible person.

2) My new boss would be able to write me a nice recommendation.

3) I might even get my name on a scientific journal publication.

4) I would have time to volunteer at hospitals.

5) I would actually be able to take a breath, relax, enjoy life and my new hard earned money!!

If I were to apply to medical school now I would enjoy none of those advantages. In fact, I would have tons of negative stuff to deal with:

1) My relationship with my boss would be shattered - her wrath is something to be contended with.
2) I would have to deal with my guilty conscience
3) I will have no volunteering experience what so ever, which would look very bad on my application.
4) I would have to stress myself out with filling out lengthy applications and attending interviews if I get any.

One extra year is not so much in the long scheme of things right?
I always rush myself too much. You can tell by the way I walk lol. I need to learn to let myself breathe, though it might feel too good to be true...

Fruits of my accidental shopping spree

Jun. 26th, 2009 | 09:58 pm

I accidentally walked to Newbury St. today. It looked too pretty, I couldn't help it. And all the little new boutiques that opened up during my absence were just begging me in with their spankingly hip plaques and store displays.
Not my fault at all!

But I love what I got nonetheless: a convertable leather purse/clutch (yes to add to my purse collection), and some killer heeled ankle boots. Both are pretty out of my closet's repertoire in terms of style, so I do not feel too too guilty... I guesspics under the cut )

The White Mary: Book Review and Reflections on Life

Jun. 19th, 2009 | 11:48 am

White Mary A Novel by Kira Salak

The White Mary is the explorer/journalist Kira Salak's first work of fiction. However, the novel has almost an autographical feel, with beautiful detailed accounts of the atmosphere and experiences. The protagonist Marika, whom the indigenous people call "White Mary", is like a version of Kira herself.

 

BOOK SYNOPSIS

Marika Vecera, an accomplished war reporter, has dedicated her life to helping the world's oppressed and forgotten. When not on one of her dangerous assignments, she lives in Boston, exploring a new relationship with Seb, a psychologist who offers her glimpses of a better world.

Returning from a harrowing assignment in the Congo where she was kidnapped by rebel soldiers, Marika learns that a man she has always admired from afar, Pulitzer-winning war correspondent Robert Lewis, has committed suicide. Stunned, she abandons her magazine work to write Lewis's biography, settling down with Seb as their intimacy grows. But when Marika finds a curious letter from a missionary claiming to have seen Lewis in the remote jungle of Papua New Guinea, she has to wonder, What if Lewis isn't dead?

Marika soon leaves Seb to embark on her ultimate journey in one of the world's most exotic and unknown lands. Through her eyes we experience the harsh realities of jungle travel, embrace the mythology of native tribes, and receive the special wisdom of Tobo, a witch doctor and sage, as we follow her extraordinary quest to learn the truth about Lewis--and about herself, along the way.

 


 

To me, Salak represents a new kind of female hero. Like her character Marika, Salak herself has traveled into the world's most remote and dangerous places, including war-torn Congo and the interior of Papua New Guinea, and narrowly escaped death. She has been chased or captured multiple times by rebel soldiers in the various places. Two of her non fiction novels talk about these adventures:


THE CRUELEST JOURNEY: SIX HUNDRED MILES TO TIMBUKTU
Kira Salak's "The White Mary"

This book accounts her journey as the first person in the world to kayak alone 600 miles on the Niger River of Mali to Timbuktu, retracing the fatal journey of the great Scottish explorer Mungo Park.

FOUR CORNERS: A JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Kira Salak's "The White Mary"
This is her nonfiction account of her epic, solo jungle trek across the remote Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea--often called the last frontier of adventure travel. She traveled only by dugout canoe or on foot though the thick jungles and swampy lands.

 
I marvel at the daring bravery of someone like Salak. Her discription of Papua New Guinea has also highly inspired me. The country is covered almost entirely by dense rain forests, which is why inside is so untouched by modern civilization. In such a small place, there are over 800 tribes. She describes a place where time seems to stand still.
After reading the White Mary, I looked up a map of Pupua New Guinea on Google Maps.
 
Untitled-1
This was the most zoomed in view they had. Mysterious huh? I had a sudden urge to want to be in there. To live there a simple life. In the depth of the jungle you live from day to day, never knowing your fate, never knowing when you are going to die. But the people there accept death. It is a natural thing that happens to everyone. Modern "civilizations" try to cheat death, or fight it, with all the pills and treatments and plastics and what not. It is all so superflous. Why can't we just accept aging and death. This acceptance to us would be so enlightening and so unattainable. It is a tragedy.
Looking at Papua New Guinea also gave me a huge refreshing perspective on life, one that i have reflected on in my younger days bad has been since buried with the hectic activities of the artificial world. Realistically,  it would be too late for me to live in the forest now. I'll never be ignorant enough to live blissfully. My upbringing would never alow me to have a "simple life", not to mention I'm stuck with a familial gene that pushes me to seek for "accomplishments". But I'm a little scared that in pursuit of these material accomplishments may ultimately deprive me of life's biggest accomplishment of all - to live.

5 reasons why I love Paris

Jun. 13th, 2009 | 12:23 am


  1. you can eat all the good food you want and still lose weight
  2. you can bring wine anywhere, i.e. out to picnic by the banks of the Seine (they even have a special pouch to carry wine in their bookpacks!)
  3. the wine is so cheap (and good). 99 cent champaigns anyone?
  4. you get to dress up everyday in fashionable clothing
  5. great city for walking

P.S. this is totally irrelevant, but I just noticed I got a dimple and a half. How do you "grow" a dimple when you are 22?
