Nude Awakening




“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity.”

I used to be such a control freak that every step was carefully planned, every outfit was thought of in advance and I refused to be caught off guard. The thing with being that way is that the sad but unavoidable reality that in life, you are never in control and to assume you are, simply opens you up for major disappointment. I came, I controlled (or tried) and I failed and got a harsh lesson and now I am just going with the flow and taking life as it is. I still crave for control (that's just me and I can't control it---okay for lack of a better term to use...) but now I know when to sit back and relax and let things unfold  before me without having to intervene. I simply trust the vibes I get... because at the end of the day, energy doesn't lie. As for being on top of everything, the rude awakening that one never can be and the sooner you accept that, the better as you strip yourself off the pretense (as comforting as the illusion of having control is) and then you're left to deal with yourself in rawest and purest form possible... that kind of explains my title on nude awakenings...because believe it or not... being stripped off all the false pretenses that somehow reassure you or lull you into a false sense of security is what one needs.

Peach Cobbler








Peaches and Cream.

I love the coral/ apricot/ peach/ cream palette which has been on full force in dominating the S/S 2011 runway and retail fashion scene. When I saw these separated at Topshop, automatically, I knew I had to buy them together and wear them together. Sometimes, I guess it saves me the time and energy... by pairing things together before I buy them, it saves me the time and energy of having to rethink my closet and picture if I have something that goes perfectly with it. In this case, I was luck to find a complete outfit in just one visit.







I wanted to play up the peach/ coral color which was why I accessorized with an identical colored pair of shoes and purse. I went neutral and creamy on the accessories and heavy on the floral tulle (in my hair and bracelets). I loved wearing this outfit. It was casual but not quite as it was stylishly sassy and sweet. It was ultra comfy too. As for the shoes, this is probably the lowest I can ever go for heels.
