Thank you all for following and supporting my blog, it means a lot to me! I've gotten to know a lot of fabulous and interesting bloggers in the past 5 months and I'm looking forward to getting to know you gals even more this year!

The lovely gal over at Oomph gave me a Stylish Blogger Award and I happily accept! Thank you so much for picking me! I love all the looks that she puts together and I feel that we have similar taste in clothing. She's FABULOUS, so go check her out:

Rules to accept the award are:

1. thank the person who gave you the award

2. share seven facts about yourself

3. give the appreciation and award to seven bloggers, and let them know of their given award

7 Facts about me:

1. I started this blog because I missed working in fashion (I interned at Rebecca Taylor during my senior yr of college) and felt that this would be a great outlet for me to sound off on my opinions of the latest fashion trends, etc. I decided to dedicate it to Asian fashion and celebrities because I felt that we weren't getting a lot of love in the media. It's not very often that I flip open an American fashion magazine and see an Asian model or go to a website where they give a full fashion rundown on an Asian Award show. All in all, I have mad Asian pride! haha

2. I rarely buy clothes that aren't on sale. I loves me a bargain ;)

3. I like to make my own jewelry, mostly earrings and bracelets.

4. I have been addicted to vampire novels long before Twilight (I liked the books more than the movies, even though Meyer isn't that great of a writer :P). Recently finished the last book in the Vampire Academy series, so good!!!

5. Breakfast at Tiffany's is my all time favorite movie.

6. The only instrument I can play is the clarinet.

7. I speak fluent Cantonese and Mandarin, passable Spanish (although I sound like a native speaker cause my mom can speak it fluently and she always corrects me till I get it right !_!) and I am currently teaching myself Japanese and Korean via iPod apps and idol dramas xD

I'd like to pass this award to 7 other Fashionable Asian bloggers whom I've been following and admiring this past year:

1. Michelle at MichelleEsque

2. Annie at WhatAnnieWears

3. Jenny at JennyFromTheBlock

4. Eli at BoboLeeStyle

5. Aileen at AileenClarisse

6. Jen & Sherry at Jennifer & Sherry

7. Jen at HerWaiseChoice

I hope everyone has a Happy, Healthy and Stylish New Year!

And I really hope it doesn't snow anymore in NY!

I leave you with this picture of me standing in knee-high (I'm only 5 ft tall) snow trying to shovel my car out, the aftermath of the after X-mas blizzard @_@

Award Show Fashion: 2010 Metro Radio Hit Music Awards

Yesterday was the 2010 Metro Radio Hit Music Awards in Hong Kong and all the major singers made an appearance to accept the Empire State Building looking award.

Girl group Twins' Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung are my picks for best dressed. Both picked short chic dresses and matched their shoes with their outfits. I love that Gillian is wearing the Lanvin x H&M ceramic necklace, looks perfect with her strapless dress!

Joey Yung looked a lot better in her press room outfit than her award show outfit (scroll down for worst dressed)

Vincy Chan opted for a grecian style jumper and accessorized with gold bangles

Stephanie Cheng performed in this cute ruffle one piece

Pale people are just meant to wear bright red, love how it stands out against her skin

Stephy Tang performing in a lace top and yoga pants

Girl group Hotcha in coordinating black outfits, loving Crystal's (far right) metallic dress!

Sherman Chung in a long red gown, would've looked better unbelted since there's already some detail on the waist, looks like there's too much .

JW in an unimpressive all black ensemble

Janice chose menswear over a dress

Miriam Yeung (left) has never had a very good eye for fashion, she'll always be seen in odd dresses or in this case blazer. Joey Yung (right) on the other hand decided to go as a feather duster.

I don't know what Kay Tse was thinking when she decided to go in this tulle mess, wasn't winning 3 awards enough to gain some attention?!

G.E.M performing "Good to be Bad," when she should be singing "it's not good to look bad!" @_@

Do you know Mamika?

When French photographer Sasha Godlberger noticed that his 91-year-old grandmother Frederika was feeling depressed, he decided to cheer her up by featuring her in a series of portraits. But unlike most family photos, Goldberger's came with costumes and feats of strength, transforming his lonely grandmother into a spandex-clad super-heroine complete with a cape, crash helmet and the occasional puppy sidekick.

Award Show Fashion: 2010 Melon Music Awards

Last week was the 2010 Melon Music Awards (Korea's version of the Grammys) and as expected 2NE1 were the big winners at the awards and on the red carpet.

2NE1 always knows how to rock the red carpet but Bom (far right) looked kinda hookerish in her mini leather dress and fur shawl !_!Although Dara was the most muted of the quartet, I loved her look the most, such a cool looking knit vest! ^.^

Yoon Ji Min looked great in this sparkly mini

Kim Jung Hwa in an outfit that lacked, well... everything

Singer Gummy kept it casual in all black suit

SNSD/Girl's Generation ladies all wore matching booties and coordinating black outfits, with a couple of members wearing white and neon green

I liked the slits on her leggings, damn these Korean girls and their sticks for legs!

Not a fan of the Neon Green color but I like how cool this puffy skirt looks

Her attempts to try to liven up this outfit with color is kinda sad because these two purple hues are not complimentary colors!

I would totally rock this dress for a holiday party

This dress does nothing for her figure and with her skintone, she should've picked out a brighter color

It looks like she's got a fox on her shoulders and a snake on her feet, overall not a very exciting outfit

What can I say? Koreans aren't very into wearing color... :P
