Mass production has been the epitome of our current fashion market. It's been a decade of pushing items towards consumers, and less the other way around. The people have spoken and today we're seeing a new era of customization and personalization.

The Business of Blogging

What does it really take to blog?

Teal or No Teal

Teal is always a great choice for Summer dresses - especially in this pastel shade. Something about how feminine and adventurous this color is. I've been hit with a serious case of wanderlust as of recent - it's so tempting to just book a ticket some place random and totally new. When I do get the time off to travel, I try to go back home to Cambodia to see my parents & bffs. The guilt of visiting any other place always creeps up. But heck there's so much of the world to see. I'm thinking some where in Europe - a mix of old ruins and a lush country side. Comment below and make me some suggestions! :)

This dress was a little girly for what I'm mostly accustomed to wearing casually, so I paired it with the old fashioned white sneakers. My friend Azusa and I took these shots in Silverlake (east side of Hollywood), the chic hipster cafes and pastel colored homes are so cute and different from any other areas of LA.

Road to Bonnaroo with Tobi

For those of you who want some festival inspo, I've got a little something to tickle your fancy. The anticipated agony of Bonnaroo FOMO will totally be inexplicable this year. The line up is a perfect 10. And in all honestly, if it weren't for the distance - I would have gone to Bonnaroo instead of Coachella. So for all you lucky punks going, hit up some of these shows for me please, love you! (Tove Lo, Glass Animals, Kendrick Lamar, Flying Lotus, Odesza, Belle & Sebastian, STS9, & Caribou). DAMN. 

Looking for a place to hunt for dancing attire? Check out TOBI here. Aside from my first encounter with the site from a Facebook ad (thank you, internet cookies!), it was tearin' it up on my Lookbook.nu feed and I had to see what's up. I just love the endless selections of girly dresses and summer essentials! 

Have a beautiful day today, darlings! Make it the best it can be! xo

Collaboration ShoutOut | Cream Style

Some new projects have been brewing lately after a period of sporadic posts, finally! I'm glad to say I've got my motivation back and my head's finally in the right place. You can do it, if you put your back into it. No sexual innuendos implied. That's been my motto lately and you know what? No matter how far a goal seems, as long as you just keep doing shit everyday no matter how small... you're already one little step closer. So some of you have already realized this, but sometimes revelation requires a personal experience. 

One of my new projects is a collaboration with Cream Style. The app (which can be found on iTunes) is a cool mix between your daily style inspiration and a user-friendly shopping platform. Two birds, one stone. Or lots of pigs, one bird. Its updated version will be available soon, so definitely stay tuned to that!  

I dropped by Cream's office in the Lower East Side one rare sunny afternoon in NYC. Its layout was like any start up -- open floor plan, iMacs, lots of space. What was remotely differently was on the other side of the expansive white out room -- a plethora of muted-colored, slick tops, bottoms, dresses designed by up and coming contemporary labels waiting to be ravaged by my inner Clothes Whore psyche, which is more often suppressed by my extroverted Shoe Whore one. Racks on racks on racks. The showroom turned into my personal closet, so you can obviously tell I spent more time there than they wanted me. Cream features labels such as Nomia, Priory of Ten, Shaina Mote, and LinieNYC. If you're into that monochromatic palate like I am, then this is for you. 

How the partnership works, you ask? Basically, I style the items to my own liking, YOU like/share and if you're in need of a fresh wardrobe update -- you can literally buy my outfits straight from the app! Oh, hooray for technology!
