Where Have I Been? and Big Glasses Obsession

Hello Lovelies!
It's been a while since my last post... yet again.
Yes. I've been extremely busy and I think it's that time of the year when there is sooo much to do.
I'm currently getting ready for a big recording session for Wednesday (yes, I'm a musician). I'm a cellist and I have an important recording session coming up that requires lots and lots of preparation and time. Plus, with work, I've been getting no free time. T.T  But as I always say, "hard work pays off!" and I know that all the effort I'm putting into work and practicing will surely help me in the long run.

Also, the weather here has actually been acting completely bonkers. No joke! Just last week it reached 112 degrees (F) and then it was rainy and cold and went down to the 60s. Seriously, that's a little over 50 degrees difference right there. I literally went through a complete wardrobe change in a week from summer dresses to thick sweaters and boots. I love dressing for autumn and winter weather.  I'm a sucker for coats, scarves, hats, and boots.
Lately, I've been obsessing over big fashion glasses! These kinds of glasses are also know as "ulzzang" glasses or "nerdy" glasses.
Here are my glasses for the day:

At first, when I purchased these kinds of glasses, I was a little too scared to wear them out. I like to add a statement piece to my outfit, but these glasses just seemed a little too.... costume-like, at first! But one day, I was in one of those moods where I felt bored and wanted to try something new. I tied my hair back in a low ponytail, put on a sweater cardigan, and just popped on the glasses.

Surprisingly, I got a good response from other people. People actually complimented me saying that I looked "cute" with the glasses. Some people actually thought they were real glasses, regardless that the glasses were huge! From that day on, I gained the confidence that big "ulzzang" glasses can add a lot to a simple outfit or a day when you're feeling bored. Now, I'm on the urge to buy more.

I actually visited Little Tokyo and snatched a new pair of glasses that are even bigger than the ones I'm wearing in the pictures above. I'll be sure to take a picture of me wearing them next time. They're huge and make an even bigger statement! LOL. I think I need to gain another level of confidence to wear them out, but I think they will be fun to match with an outfit.

Where can you find them? You can find them at Pretty & Cute, the ulzzang headquarters! LOL. They have an amazing collection of ulzzang fashion glasses. Click here to see there awesome inventory of glasses!

How cute are they?? I want them all!!!

In the meantime, I'm tempted to head back to Little Tokyo to snatch a few more of these glasses. I'm regretting just getting only one new pair.

Btw... I'm dying my hair this week! Super excited since I used to love dying my hair. More updates coming soon!

Choosing the Perfect Colors for Warm or Cool Toned Skin

Choosing the perfect colors for makeup and clothing to complement our skin is very difficult.
What's best to know is if you are cool or warm toned.
In order to figure out if you are cool or warm toned, check the colors of your veins on your wrist or under your arm. If they are bluish, then you are cool toned. It they are greenish, you are warm toned.

Here is a chart of some colors that look best with cool or warm tones:

Choosing the right colors can often help our complexion look brighter and our eyes can look awake. The wrong colors can make our skin look dull and can make us look tired.

Here is a chart of some skin colors that usually fit in either the cold tone or warm tone categories:

When choosing foundation, cool tones should choose more pink-based colors and warm tones should choose more yellow-based colors.
If you feel that you are balanced between cool or warm tones, choose neutral colors. If you don't know if you're cool or warm toned, then I would go for cool tone colors because that's more common and a safer bet.

When choosing clothing, pure white looks great for cool tones and ivory looks best with warm tones. Black looks really good on cool tones and blacks can make warm tones look washed out when it's close to the face. Of course there are ways for cool tones to pull off warm tone colors and the other way around is true too. :)
