Red Lips

Red lips, oh where to begin. A red lipstick should be in every girl's makeup bag. Red lips can dress up any outfit and just add that "Je ne sais quoi" to a look. I love pairing red lips with neutral eye makeup. When I wear red lips, I would usually just groom/ fill in my eye brows, add a somewhat thick line of eyeliner, a neutral pinky blush on the cheeks and finish it off with whatever choice of lipstick is for the night.

Now that the weather is finally cooling down, I feel like it is the perfect time to pull out those bright reds to the dark vampy/wine red lipsticks. So go on and get those lip sticks ready for those fall/winter festive parties. It is something that everyone can definitely pull off, and I think it doesn't make an appearance as often as it should.

My personal favorite paring when wearing any type of red lips consists of my leather jacket, black jeans, white simple tee, black leather boots and of course my red lips.

 

Pineapple and Mint

Recently, I rediscovered my favorite drink the whole-wide world, Pineapple Mint drink. This would be the drink I would choose to drink for the rest of my life, if I had to choose such a thing. It only takes two simple ingredients: fresh pineapple and fresh mint leaves. All you have to do is put all the yumminess into a blender and blend it up. It is so simple, yet the best thing in the world. Whenever I visit Brazil, I make sure to order this drink at every restaurant. "Um abacaxi com hortelã, por favor"

"The world is like my menu with an endless list of sweet delectable cities and savory countries. I guess one can say that I have had entrees to somewhat satisfy my hunger, but I have yet to completely appease my infinite amount of craving for travel." -Jessica Feng 9/29/2012

Carolina Football Gameday Attire. GO COCKS!!

This morning I got up and did not have that many options in terms of outfits because it was Gameday here at USC (University of South Carolina). My color options today were either black, garnet/red or white; so, I went with all black for today's game. I decided to wear a black skirt from Zara, basic black tank from Uniqlo, black crochet vest from a street vendor in Brasil and tan ankle booties from Unionbay. The high for today was a nearly scorching 90 degrees, and it almost felt like it was pushing the 100s because there were so many people and very little wind. But of course you can't complain about the heat when you surround yourself with your friends and a good time.

Today we played against Missouri and beat them 31-10 and it was an entertaining game to watch/learn. I am not a big football fan because I was raised to be more of a soccer/basketball type of girl. BUT, I do have to admit that football is starting to grow on me. With Sarah's help I could really fall in love with the game of football. I realized how football is such a huge part of the "Southern" culture. And growing up in the South, I feel like it is only right that inherit some of that football culture (even though I do not consider myself one bit of a southern gal). It was overall a delightful day and cannot wait for the next game against Georgia. I am proud to be a GAMECOCK!

I Guess My Dream Changed...

I guess my dream changed, but the place where I want to end up stayed the same. When I was younger my ultimate dream was to become an actress, and now I honestly can't tell you exactly where my future will lead me. However, one thing that's for sure is I want the NYC to be in it.

Bought this beauty at a souvenir shop when I was about 13 years old. I was in the city one summer, exploring the possibilities for a career in acting. It was the first time that I got to travel "parentless". How fitting, eh? First time that I got to travel alone is the place I want to end up.

Looking back, I have to give my parents a BIG THANK YOU for letting me explore at such a young age. They have always instilled creativity in my life. I did just about everything I wanted to do as a little kiddo. Mamae would take me to piano and violin lessons, ice skating lessons, summer art and theater camp, ballet recitals, countless of plays and etc. My Mamae actually wanted to pursue a career in art. I guess you can say that is where I got my endless supply of creative juices. Obrigado minha Mamae linda. This one is for you!! Beijoss

My beautiful Mamae. She is always fashionable. I mean look at those high-waisted shorts with the white jersey turtle neck. And not to mention those hoops paired with her white sneaks is her signature. In the matter of fact, I sometimes steal her vintage clothes because I am obsessed with her fashion sense. Her boxed up clothes are like a treasure chest to my sister and I. Te amo muito <3
