Social Damnation.

Because one day you know you'll be screaming my name.
-Glee Cast, Loser.

Ahh! Panic! is coming to the city I live in. Oh horror. I cannot go. Whoopee, China, thanks for making me miss out on a once in a lifetime chance!

Anyway. Social time! Facebook made, please add me. I accept EVERYONE as long as you're not a registered sex offender. Now what?

I have to say, La Roux is probably the best techno band out there. It's not about getting laid or drinking Grey Goose Vodka until the crack of dawn; it's about life. Panic! at the Disco is the quirkiest little thing out there, and I'm obsessive over them, if you haven't noticed already. I enjoy soft pop, and I recommend The Bird and the Bee, She & Him, Sara Bareilles, ELIZABETH & THE CATAPULT <3, Lily Allen and Mumford & Sons. They're pretty fly and deserve waaay more attention and sales, because the 'music' people listen to these days (Lil Wayne, Wiz Knalif, etc) is usually a bunch of garbage. I make exceptions; Lady Gaga (big little monster right hur.) Katy Perry's first album is genius, but now she's a sellout. Her first album was so retro-cool. Now it's auto-tuned trash and alien sex. Yeah, um, NO! That's all for music...

WAVES! They're making a lil comeback, darlings. But, my hair is straighter than the average man, so I need some suggestions. Then again, I am as delusional as hell, because I know no one reads this. (YET.)

On another note, I hate summer.

Love,
Ling.

Aplogies for an absence.

And the world's like a science and I'm like a secret.
And I saw you lingering still, still.
I saw you lingering still.
-She & Him, Lingering Still.

oh yes, these springtime fashions are still lingering around every street corner. I still see cute pastel blouses and Bohemian skirts and cute wedges where ever I look. Life is a nice set to be on.

Aplogies for an absence. I needed "ME AND ONLY MEEE" time for awhile. I'll tell you about my new fashion endeavours:

So I went to Washington DC and went crazy on shopping. We (family) were supposed to get a visa(s) to go to China this year, but turns out, my forgetful father didn't know we were supposed to have our old passports. Thanks Father, for that lovely insightful language you muttered under your breath while shaking your head.
Anyway...
My i-hate-shopping-with-a-passion mother and I went to J.Crew, where I bought a $10 flower pin (on sale) and cute navy blouse, $24.99, also clearence. Satisfied? OH YEAH. Tysons Corner mall, Vera Bradley store; lunchbox $28. I don't want to be like any other Vera toting girl at my school, but I needed a lunchbox, and the Twirly Birds Navy was cute. Forever 21, $24 ivory lace dress, gorgeous. Picture ASAP. H&M sandales, $13, then.......HAGERSTOWN.
Dood, OUTLET MALL=CHEAP. $14 Ked shoes, $6 Banana Replublic t-shirts, $15 Gap cardigans, $10 J.Crew leather belts and $25 Wilson Leather small backpacks?? WIN.

Tip: Vintage vintage vintage. Oversized dress? BELT. Too big jeans? Cut and suspenders. Also, don't rule out "DISGUSTING" cheapo stores, they usually hold the coolest finds. Gaberiel Brothers (where I live) is an amazing store. Scary on the outside, okay on the inside and SPECTACULAR in the racks. Goodwill can always help :) Remember, fashion isn't all about name brands and sky-high prices, it's about originality and personality.

CHEERS DARLINGS.
