Dear friends, lovers & haters,<br />
<br />
It seems as if I'm living an ADD life because I have so many dreams and goals and things I want to do that I get sidetracked by random spurts of passions and projects.<br />
<br />
But the one thing that has always been in my heart, is starting my own business. I'm now devoting all my energies to<a href="http://lalaandsasi.com/"> Lala & Sasi</a>. It's still in the baby phase but that's where I'll be. We even have a <a href="http://lalaandsasi.com/blog">blog</a> too.<br />
<br />
So there it is, I hope that I can dedicate myself to this final project now and forever.<br />
<br />
This post sounds deep. I am not that deep.<br />
<br />
Peace.<br />
<br />

It's like returning to a home after so long except now I find myself a little older, a little wiser, a little more eye-bag filled but still just an almost-adult. That's what I'd like to categorize myself as, an <strong>almost-adult</strong>.<br /><br />What does being an <strong>almost-adult</strong> entail? For starters it means you don't know what the heck you are doing. But you take it like a man. You go on each day with the same level of optimism and ambition. You make mistakes and you can't take yourself or the world seriously, unless it's time to pay rent. An <strong>almost-adult</strong> still finds themselves lusting for the cute stuff animal in the window, but refrains from buying because once again, it's time to pay rent. An almost-adult still relies on their parents for support, because let's face it a $35 dollar a day job is still poverty. Almost-adults are still curious about the world and are not jaded into the machinery that is daily life. We are like virgins in every sense and we cling on to the last drops of innocence as we face reality. <strong>Almost-adults</strong> like to wear tutu's and mismatched rainbow socks, dresses with ears, and things that make the world laugh but also buying that black blazer because it's necessary for work but then realizing that it works with your style as well. <strong>Almost-adults</strong> can only be one of the best periods in life (I wouldn't know for 100% sure since I can't time travel) because it's full of discovery and trials and errors. <strong>Almost-adult</strong><em><strong> </strong>is when life happens. </em><br /><br />Finally, <strong>almost-adults </strong>would not take my deep paragraph above seriously because they would be smart enough to know that it is all pure bs. In my heart, I believe it to be true.LalaLiuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17503529309508752859noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313191304935951885.post-8308336685066962342011-07-26T23:44:00.001-04:002011-07-26T23:44:40.596-04:00Batman Returns.It's been almost a year.

I am alive and well (minus the bloody scrapes on my heels... sacrificing fashion for comfort? I don't know...my feet need to be kept in tip-top condition if I want to last in this city.) I know I am liar for saying that I would revive my blog, but how can you revive a zombie? The energy and time I used to have for this poor baby is just gone, but I wanted to give you people out there (those who still read and those who are spamming on my comments with chinese words that I cannot understand even though I'm Chinese. I'm pretty sure it's something vulgar.. but innocence is bliss) a chance to see what's up with Lala. </div><div><br /></div><div>So I have graduated and moved from west to east. I'm finally living in Manhattan in one of the trendiest neighborhoods and attending one of the best fashion schools in the world. It's funny how life is so unpredictable. Going from one field to another and never really knowing where you'll end up. I like life that way the best. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's been a whirlwind of craziness since my blog took it's slow decline into oblivion. Perhaps I craved the craziness over blogging. Having priorities suck, don't you agree? Anyways, I have graduated and am attempting to enter the gates into adulthood. I think my shoe got stuck on some gum somewhere so I'm still taking awhile getting there, but boy does it smell close and I'm not sure if it's a pleasant smell I'm smelling or an unpleasant one. I don't want to be all deep and sentimental because I'm rather shallow (yes I did just insult myself) so I won't be all deep and sentimental because I'm tired. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm in a one year fashion design program. It's only the second week into the semester and I did not get back to my lovely crooked floor apartment until nearly 1:00 AM. Of course the subway screw ups and a mini midnight dinner to McDonalds prevented me from getting home before the next day, but it was all good. Being in NY makes me realize how badly I want to succeed and to carve myself somewhere in the world. I want people to know me or at least know my company. I want people to worship the ground I walk on and get tattoos of my name over their bodies. Okay maybe not... but yes, NYC I believe is the place that young people who are full of ambition conglomerate to pursue their dreams. Hopefully I stay as optimistic as I am right now a few weeks later. I've been told my optimism is a west coast thing. Oh west coast, you can never be replaced in my heart. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's my third week in the city and it's been surreal. It's hard to make myself understand that I am actually living-living here and not just traveling abroad and fooling around like I did in good ole Milan days. There's so much to see and so much to absorb. I feel like I need to become mega sponge. But then again sponges ain't too cute so maybe not... (that was an example of my shallowness).</div><div><br /></div><div>I miss writing. I miss my incorrect grammar. I miss posting pictures of myself for the whole world to see and then having my sister call it ugly. I've been meaning to do more daily posts of my outfits but 1) my camera is hard to focus with self-timer 2) there are so many other great stylish bloggers out there that I really can't compare and 3) I feel like I have become unstylish as of late. But still I will try my best because all the sweet emails and comments I get make me smile. And yes I do get them even if I haven't been the best at responding... sorry. You can smack me in the face if you ever run into me sometime. </div><div><br /></div><div>I should sleep. It's 3:35 am. I just wanted to type some words on my laptop and this was the perfect outlet. Killing two birds with one stone. Everyone wins.</div><div><br /></div><div>Goodnight from nyc. My room has no windows so I can't tell you about the sparkly lights. But perhaps you can just close your eyes and imagine it with me.</div>LalaLiuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17503529309508752859noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313191304935951885.post-45104133621489441102010-06-15T17:54:00.000-04:002010-06-15T19:25:21.198-04:00Revival?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4kJo3Ep6v6FNlXI-33VMPRWA9kPBG_rMlL0lfeZ3vhqeV40q-Fk5eoVp2TR5d2l9nTG2rw1fFDJlynR0Us9pKO7Rrk8JM_tDY4RWo2jlrBTXRVqupHhutAs5yoWpulAtaanPNhCV-9GA/s1600/DSC_9288.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4kJo3Ep6v6FNlXI-33VMPRWA9kPBG_rMlL0lfeZ3vhqeV40q-Fk5eoVp2TR5d2l9nTG2rw1fFDJlynR0Us9pKO7Rrk8JM_tDY4RWo2jlrBTXRVqupHhutAs5yoWpulAtaanPNhCV-9GA/s400/DSC_9288.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483123093413290322" /></a><br />Lala the art geek, Graduated?

I, the lazy blogger, have not been lovely because I have yet to do a review - until now. I guess I live in a world where time does not matter. Maybe that explains why I'm always late to class.<br /><br />I wore many of the items they sent me over summer. They were wonderful for my humid, sweaty China adventures as well as my Mediterranean-Climate California adventures.<br /><br />My favorite item they sent was this <a href="http://www.sophistix.net/product_details.php?category_id=13&item_id=751">Bethany One Shoulder Top.</a> It's super comfortable for the summer. Especially how it kept me temperature-sane during China. What I love about the top was that it was cute and yet was functional for the weather. The material is made of a woven cotton so it didn't stick to my greasy body (ew, the sight I had just made me vomit a little). Better yet, it's under $20! You know how I love my cheap things.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFpQ12fubyEMvwTMIRvxBa18jMB2ax0JHfOc7u4XfXhSxU4cDwHJS4c8s0zR_Eyl9zimQjSALZd47ZQDOk4Z6LLuCIiEr9WfOuE70d15wPEXdkUdSzQuoCfnDRRROcMpHrJCdlrZL7gf8/s1600-h/tops_bethany_top_big.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFpQ12fubyEMvwTMIRvxBa18jMB2ax0JHfOc7u4XfXhSxU4cDwHJS4c8s0zR_Eyl9zimQjSALZd47ZQDOk4Z6LLuCIiEr9WfOuE70d15wPEXdkUdSzQuoCfnDRRROcMpHrJCdlrZL7gf8/s400/tops_bethany_top_big.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426288147696367666" border="0" /></a><br />The clothes at Sophistix are a mix of trendy and classic. Perhaps trendy + classic = sophisticated? Fashion and math should merge someday and then I can be the ultimate fashion nerd. I went back to the site to look at some of their newer merchandise. Not everything on the site is particularly my style but I sifting through the images I've found delightful number of pieces that would be a great addition to my (your) wardrobe. Actually, lets stick with <span style="font-style: italic;">your </span>wardrobe because <span style="font-style: italic;">my </span>wardrobe is like a damaged liver to an alcoholic. Too much clothes reside in my wardrobe at the moment that I finally have to admit that I, Lala, do indeed have a shopping problem.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSkf1jPSxqxCEymZs5RXNH7KkoMiqegiBpJvr9kiHOazNDnT2EJoejXkszs51fl1XBCNHYg2SH7ujaU4u28HJGq8Re63scAj0MVdy7MXb6xV5bL1GRtdK0EYeyarGagp-MUVQQgjlsDY4/s1600-h/tops_camille_blouse_big.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSkf1jPSxqxCEymZs5RXNH7KkoMiqegiBpJvr9kiHOazNDnT2EJoejXkszs51fl1XBCNHYg2SH7ujaU4u28HJGq8Re63scAj0MVdy7MXb6xV5bL1GRtdK0EYeyarGagp-MUVQQgjlsDY4/s400/tops_camille_blouse_big.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426289718496418754" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.sophistix.net/product_details.php?item_id=747">Camille Blouse</a> - <span id="price_747" class="price"> $17.14</span><br />Although summer time isn't quite here yet (the weather in socal right now however likes to trick us into thinking it is), this top would be such a lovely addition to match things with - tucked in with a skirt or paired with some denim shorts and a nice floppy hat.

A busy bee that is.<br /><br />Lame intro? Yeah. Lame is where it's at this season.<br /><br />We're only on the second week of school and I feel that so much has happened and so many adventures/(mis)adventures have been journeyed upon. But to recap the fashion of me, since we all know that's why you're here. Take a look. I feel a lot more inspired these days. I think the gianormous walk in closet my apartment gives me is partially the reason for that.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">TUESDAY:</span><br /></div><br /><img src="http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/1897/img8307v.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/9282/img8306.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/888/img8289.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/1876/img8286j.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/4/img8281cs.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/8239/16682838.jpg" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><ul><li>PANDA SHIRT: DIY t-shirt reconstruct. I love me some pandas.</li><li>Bandage skirt: I have succumbed to trends! too bad they're like a season old. This always happens to me. Time is not on my side. $3 F21 outlet.</li><li>Leopard Flats: my dedicated babies from Target</li><li>Blue Cropped Vintage Jacket: $2 thrift</li><li>Necklace: $11 for love</li><li>Headband: $3 F21</li></ul>So the day I wore this outfit, I went to buy a course reader. While walking up to the counter, I was greeted by the cashier with a warm, "You look very pretty."<br /><br />A bit creepy I must say, but I'll take a compliment where I can get it. I'm desperate like that.<br /><br />So then he just shoots down the compliment and turns it into a backhanded compliment: "Well, I think you're pretty anyways." What, so I'm like so horribly weird that I can't be considered pretty.<br /><br />"Are you in a play or something?"<br /><br />"No."<br /><br />In a way, I succeeded because my outfit seemed so out of place that it must have been a costume for a play. Nice one Lala.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">WEDNESDAY:</span><br /></div><br /><img src="http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/3686/img8327k.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/4296/img8326o.jpg" /><br /><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>My PHOENIX maxidress: $15 buffalo exchange. Once again, late on the bandwagon, but I've recently discovered the joys of maxi-dresses. I feel like a goddess. HAHA</li><li>Zipper necklace: $1 venice beach, i love this thing too bad you can't see it.</li></ul><div style="text-align: left;">So I was randomly at Venice Beach walking around in this and one of the street artists yelled at me. "Girl in the fire dress!" I turn around to see a semi-clean bum/artist. "I like you're dress! It looks like my paintings. Come look!" I give him a thumbs up. I like encouraging artists to do what they're passionate about.<br /><br />This pass weekend has been simply awesome. Starting Thursday, it not only meant the beginning of a weekend but I got to meet Joyce Azria and Lubov Azria the creative directors of BCBGeneration and BCBG! Super exciting. I got free dresses while I was at it and snapped by thecobrasnake.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxELxz3Jg5Gjc1OGV7cvk1VhygPgiA05Zypol-T8-DNVfQ6NKCVZzq5_v4KCcHvnYCtKuVDYOk8llcyP2qDgAGSTDq1jRs8vbIszUVNv3trQhOnuKQ3yUcf1Np4vhnTqUa7_hj4Df1Yrc/s1600-h/IMG_8355.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxELxz3Jg5Gjc1OGV7cvk1VhygPgiA05Zypol-T8-DNVfQ6NKCVZzq5_v4KCcHvnYCtKuVDYOk8llcyP2qDgAGSTDq1jRs8vbIszUVNv3trQhOnuKQ3yUcf1Np4vhnTqUa7_hj4Df1Yrc/s400/IMG_8355.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389697141540939986" border="0" /></a>The weekend was even more exciting as my roomies and I went off to Las Vegas to celebrate the the baby roomie's 21st birthday!<br /><br />The clubs were so nice even though expensive. I realize the advantages of being a girl now. I'm not so sure if I really want to be a man anymore. I'm way too cheap to go that route. Which is a shame because I'm sure I would make a terrific man.<br /><br />I got to wear my fancy dresses and dazzle (hehe, just for you dazzle!) it up with sparkly makeup. The thing I love about Vegas is that you can really go all out when dressing up because seriously, people don't really care.<br /><br />I did gamble. I lost $2 and I was very heartbroken. I could have found a neatest vintage dress with that 2 bucks but now it's gone forever in the money pits of Caesar's Palace.<br /></div><br /><br /><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs8hH-x3hDsYoiPraByy1GDw0FS4UwFXUHG-9yKlOc2bBY2Xxn1_absJoiXG50YR3DkyWh7vN_yCPDYGGQMZyLxEOn-AApY4_Wegy_Txatdzq4Pudza-0aqEWvVjxJxMtju6OFsSr9FK0/s400/IMG_8348.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389697132820301522" border="0" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEial6f5LuwUvoMuOfCf3ZYhTjXKOFyMVS_scSU4RxDxnrzRXW-vGj_n64KVCuRE4f_3qjqVdHKCmW1UCpv4OV0Dw0Zb_eOVU8URKeEp_9P0nPlVTza5F7fAWONvpw9LmtRdgoSW4VkE7vc/s1600-h/IMG_8359.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEial6f5LuwUvoMuOfCf3ZYhTjXKOFyMVS_scSU4RxDxnrzRXW-vGj_n64KVCuRE4f_3qjqVdHKCmW1UCpv4OV0Dw0Zb_eOVU8URKeEp_9P0nPlVTza5F7fAWONvpw9LmtRdgoSW4VkE7vc/s400/IMG_8359.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389697122799184018" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />It's surreal to be back. In general, vegas is such a surreal place. I've been to Paris, Rome, New York all in one night. Plus an igloo as I felt myself being the real life Eskimo at the Icebar.<br /><br />So it's back to school. Lately I've been loving big hair. Witness my moments of self-obsession with these webcam pics. So MySpace no?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfgxQMbGmqldrAeHYnIF-VN6Veb2Vk8u1XcTt-kqIwF8CUUpJsbz_YHciG1GGSCvU6HHT-hHBSK-FgPvdr2SdsKoa8lEszPdX7Ln9JJxyDJ1Ev-78Wa-0pl62VVz8IYCtJ4oYzPpFh23I/s1600-h/Picture+8.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfgxQMbGmqldrAeHYnIF-VN6Veb2Vk8u1XcTt-kqIwF8CUUpJsbz_YHciG1GGSCvU6HHT-hHBSK-FgPvdr2SdsKoa8lEszPdX7Ln9JJxyDJ1Ev-78Wa-0pl62VVz8IYCtJ4oYzPpFh23I/s400/Picture+8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389696507453209730" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnzmnDkUzoMe1yrNNlyyyrwlQD7BLb4dCjXfk_anKXDsDO6bv1WVFrD5eFZWOzNygQkUYjDBFcH4gk9fszDJUI0epnp_GPIvRYiGwaEnbtXJgH7PHQTOuctffUQGt60NG7dDAmpjuMjQw/s1600-h/Picture+6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnzmnDkUzoMe1yrNNlyyyrwlQD7BLb4dCjXfk_anKXDsDO6bv1WVFrD5eFZWOzNygQkUYjDBFcH4gk9fszDJUI0epnp_GPIvRYiGwaEnbtXJgH7PHQTOuctffUQGt60NG7dDAmpjuMjQw/s400/Picture+6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389696495156841778" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBcYI40cnEkO_yLunNCAFA1qucNG-mharaIdDUBL26VUnc3QwU5HXnFks30JxFx-byF7H-nGEvBYF_ISe0catpe_bxnqIucv7mRY0BT6-S_QzvrKHzJfvG0hrKdX1BpJwa1dkk7ykp1uY/s1600-h/Picture+4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBcYI40cnEkO_yLunNCAFA1qucNG-mharaIdDUBL26VUnc3QwU5HXnFks30JxFx-byF7H-nGEvBYF_ISe0catpe_bxnqIucv7mRY0BT6-S_QzvrKHzJfvG0hrKdX1BpJwa1dkk7ykp1uY/s400/Picture+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389696486342299490" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I recently got really into Japanese Fashion magazines thanks to my dazzle and I saw this super awesome hairstyle that I just loved loved loved on Tomotomo that I had to try copying it.
