Allow The Universe To Fill You

Have been avoiding this blog like the plague because when you're interning at a fashion site, all you do is face your laptop screen and what you do all day is similar to blogging, you know what I mean? But today is special, because I am so in love with a model by the name of Chloe Norgaard.

Watch this video and you'll find out why:

Her quirkiness is what makes her unique to me, she's like Alaska from Looking For Alaska. Unwilling to conform to the norm, she does whatever the hell she wants. If she wants to wear a Stitch onesie while filming, she damn well will do so.

Her rainbow coloured hair. Oh, it's amazing. Because of it, I remembered her while looking through street style posts. "Oh! There she is!" I think as an individual, she has the right qualities. She knows what she wants and she does it. She doesn't give a shit and that's how it should be. We shouldn't worry about what people think. If I want to dye my hair like a My Little Pony's mane, I darn well will do so. You should too. 

How can you not love her?

Burning Red

Happy Chinese New Year to all who acknowledge it, live it and love it. I'm pretty sure everyone is spazzing out over their New Year clothes, I know I am. But instead of dressing up this year, I went down the mellow route as relatives will only start flooding in tomorrow. So for today, I whipped out my red denim jeans and slapped on red lip stain to ring in the Lunar New Year.

2013

There are days where you’re swamped with a shitload of work to complete and it never seems to end. And there are days where you don’t have a care in the world. You have all the time you will ever need to do whatever the hell you want. You might not be where you want to be, but you have time on your side. You have Internet connection and apparently that is necessary in this age and day. We are so busy thinking about the future that we tend to forget the present. We forget to stop and look around, to be in the moment. To enjoy the time we have in our hands and not let it slip from our grasp.

Life is so many little things. When it comes down to it, we don’t need materials to make us happy. We make ourselves happy by being satisfied with what we have and seeing the possibilities that can happen with what we have by our side. With a book, you can explore so many worlds, experience different exploits, capture feelings and be somewhere else other than reality. With a pen, you can lock in emotions of that particular moment in whatever way you want or sketch something special that you hold close and dear to your heart.

We fail to remember that simplicity is best. Notice how most of the photos on Tumblr can evoke such strong emotions with only a picture of a girl dressed in a white tee or flowers in our own backyard? Beauty is all around us, yet we don’t see it.

I used to overthink so much that I don’t accomplish what I set out to do, but this year will be different. I see it all clearly now. Everything is possible as long as you are willing to see it through.

Now that I have my very own laptop thanks to my amazing parents, I am determined to update my blog regularly. No more restrictions with my postings. From now on, I’ll write and post whatever the hell I want.

Here’s to a wonderful year ahead.

In 2013, I will:
