Winter Lights

Just had to take a moment to share Japan's Winter Lights Festival.

It has officially moved to the Top 5 on my Bucket List.

You should know now that I have a major, maaaaaajooorrrr crush on Japan and everything Japanese. Just, you know, information for the future...

Inspire On

Getting over this retched nasal congestion that hit me. I suppose I should be glad I didn't get the whole virus.. but I'm still going to complain.

Just a 'lil.

While I felt all mopey and nasally dead, here's a bit of what really kept me going.

Enjoy xx

Baltimore Bullet

I've been really slacking, I know, and shame on me for doing so!

But maybe it's time I relaxed and just threw care to the wind? Like, take a vacation or not finish summer readin' for the new  school year...

What am I thinking.

I shall be gone off (to chase my M. Phelps) which unforts means that I won't be able to update the blog! BUMMED. 

So here's some pretty pictures of inspiration for you pretty inspiring lot, as a bribe sorry.

China Trip '12 + Dior Addict

While I sit here, in the afternoon, eating Pocky from the horde I brought back from China and drinking real good, cold skim milk, I realize...

I woke up pretty early today. Just in time for lunch breakfast.

From Hong Kong's amazing four story Forever 21 to the Yellow Mountain, please forgive my out-of-order pictures.

&& MY OH MY! Be on the cover of your very own Dior Addict magazine on Facebook here; it's silly FUN!

*Don't forget to read more... there's quite a bit!*

Just a little longer...

WHYYYY AP TESTING, WHYYYY NO STAND FOR ASIAN POWER?!

Hope you're all enjoying the gorgeous Met posts (those couples are just TOO good) and living life! ... I'll just, shut my jail-cell door again and continue slaving away...

Here are a few pictures I've managed to snap while procrastinating! How adorable is this necklace?! I'm switching to Accessories-Hoarder now, please excuse me.

AFTER I'M UH, DONE STUDYING, UH, OF COURSE..

Motivational Monday; Show Me Whatcha Got

I hope that everyone's Easter weekend went splendidly!

I woke up super early to attend a "Sermon on the Mount" and amidst all the fog and foliage, it was fantastic~

If only I had brought a better camera!

BUT WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, Happy Motivational Monday! It started off rough and though this might be late... I shall be motivated to strive for better blog post timing. Forgive me?

Picture This

Just figured it'd be nice to share some photos from my personal collection on a bloody hot day. As a self-proclaimed photographer (really though, who with a camera isn't?), there's never a moment that I'm not tempted to snap up! Snap up, snap? 

Yes, I just threw another pun your way.

I could never thank my lovely father enough for my Nikon D300s! Though I'm only an amateur, it's such an easy camera to use and very light for being a DSLR. I plan on utilizing more of the accessories it came with, but what I really need... 

... is a fish-eye lens.

We all agree, yes?

(btdubs since this post is so long, please do me the honor of clicking "Read More >>" to see some of my favorite photos!)

Just a quick pic of the sash I wore as a hairband today; the print&colours are just toooooo gooooooddd~
