After 100 years, Tricia and I had a shoot together again! Her rings from Korea are so pretty, was tempted to steal both~ Oh, and she taught me the secret to making the uber huge Japanese hair buns! I usually do mine without the fillers but they’re a bit floppy—Tricia’s method is fool-proof!

Anyway, I bought the dress for 500 bucks at SM Department store—I think it’s a way cheaper alternative to a somewhat similar Topshop dress I was inclined to buy three months ago (didn’t though because it was a few sizes too large). SM Department Store is a treasure trove of cheap and awesome clothes—no wait, some of them aren’t so cheap (ie: the brand Soiree) but the quality is pretty good. In this day and age, recession-chic clothes are all the rage—buying labels are a bit unnecessary but just so you know, Topshop and all high street brands (Zara, Mango, Warehouse, and the like) aren’t considered labels so they are still quite necessary. Hur, hur. Me and my flaily logic.
