wedding bell reds

By wen | Published: August 31, 2009
It took me quite some time to find a suitable dress to wear to both weddings I’m going to this year, but when this paprika silk chiffon Vera Wang Lavender Label dress popped up on Rue-La-La I knew I’d found my dress. Red is a lucky colour for weddings in my culture and the [...]

memoirs at the end of the world

By wen | Published: August 28, 2009
I’ve fallen for Florida’s luscious little indie pop band The Postmarks. Their newest album, Memoirs at the End of the World, is part Spaghetti Western, part spy intrigue film soundtrack, and all fun. Take a listen for yourself.

jacket | french connection dress | vintage sandals | vintage hair clips | f21 I’ve loved this jacket ever since I slipped it onto my shoulders in the French Connection store at Santa Monica Beach.

meteor showers

By wen | Published: August 12, 2009
There’s a meteor shower going on right now. I am mathematically convinced it’s contributed to what has been a high state of crazy as far as my moods have been. When in doubt, blame anger problems on SPACE. Maybe these delicious new Frye boots knew all of this was coming. First spied this in Anthropologie’s latest [...]

maybe i’m dreaming

By wen | Published: August 6, 2009
It’s turning out to be one of those work weeks, the ones where you get off work at 9 pm and there are still people at the office making you feel like a total slacker to be leaving as early as 9 pm and all you want to do is get in your car and [...]
