Nordstrom Dress and a Little Kindness

____________________________________________________________________

Hi guys!

Sorry I've been m.i.a. for a couple days.  I just got back from a mini vacation in L.A. and didn't have much time to do any work.  It was always a good time seeing old friends and making new ones too.

I actually have a little story about my plane ride back to Michigan...

It was a two seater plane. I sat next to a girl who happened to be flying for the first time!  I wanted to make her first experience as nice as possible, so told her what she could expect.

We continued to have small talk, while the flight attendant came by with the complimentary drinks.  I ordered OJ, and so did she.  Then we had a chance to purchase snacks on the plane.  She chose the same item I did (hummus and pita chips)  and then she handed the attendant a $10 bill.  He told her that they didn't accept cash and it was credit only unfortunately.  She didn't have a credit card, so I figured I would just buy it for her.  I didn't think it was a big deal, but the flight attendant thought it was a very kind act, and actually secretly handed me a bag of fruit and nuts which was worth more than the hummus and pita chips. The girl seemed very greatful but at the same time she still insisted to pay me back.  So we went back and forth about it, until I gave in.  After I thought about it, I should have just told her to pay it foward.  Oh well, maybe next time I'll do it for another person.  

After we landed,  I was hungry again and we stopped at the food court in the Dallas airport that I had layover in.  I went to the Auntie Anne's pretzel station to order a pizza pretzel.  The lady took it out, shook her head, and told me that it wasn't good anymore and if I wanted to wait for a fresh pretzel.  I was pressed for time so I told her I would still take it.  I guess she felt bad, so she offered it to me for free.

I guess, the moral of this story is that you can really impact or touch a person's life by just being kind.

Take one day at a time and be kind to everyone that you meet.  Who knows what will come out of it.

But always do it from the heart not because you will gain something back.  Just be genuine and you will be blessed.

Now that I'm back, I need to start focusing again.  It's always hard after you get used to going out and having fun and then have to adjust back to reality and the fact that I caught a cold doesn't help either.  

This quick sketch is of an outfit I saw on the nordstrom website.  It's simple yet cute and ready for summer!  

Hope your day was as good as mine!

The Adorable Margaret Zhang!

I loved drawing her, because of the interesting stripes in her outfit.  Who knew you could pair two similar but different sized stripes in one outfit and make it work?  The orange trench coat gives it the pop of color that it needed as well, and we all know that orange and blue are complimentary colors, so this makes sense.

Hope your day was as bright as mine!  Stay productive!

DO EPIC CHIC with Songofstyle!

____________________________________________________________________

Of course, I had to draw the other Song sister - Aimee!

She always has the best outfits!  Even with a simple t-shirt and jeans, pairing it will a statement necklace and heels make it pop!  I remember when I first discovered fashion bloggers, and Aimee was actually one of the first, if not the first blogger that I ever followed.  I was inspired by her, mainly because of her California influenced style.  And If you knew me, my heart is in L.A!  

Another cool thing about following bloggers in the beginning, is being able to see the transformation they go through, and the opportunities that it brings them. It makes you think that you can do it too!  You just need to work hard and keep on grinding.  Keep moving foward towards your dreams.  Hopefully that rings true for me.

Hope you all find that passion that comes within you and work hard to make it work!

Song Dani and Rebecca Minkoff

____________________________________________________________________

It's Song Dani in her awesome wool/leather mix jacket by Rebecca Minkoff!

This was a while ago during the NY Fashion Week spring show, but I still love this coat and the mix of wool and leather with added touches of a bright yellow.  It's different, but at the same time pretty wearable. To add a little urban to the look, Dani pairs it with a long beanie and of course, bringing a bit of L.A. to New York,  she opted for her signature shorts, even in the cold weather! Now that's dedication to fashion.

Speaking of weather, it was just a little over 50 degrees yesterday and pretty sunny here in Michigan, which was great!  But today, I guess Ms. Michigan got mad and decides to dump a couple of inches of snow as revenge...

I'm wishing and hoping spring will come and stay soon.  I'm tired of this cold...

Hope you're feeling a little warmer where you are!

The Man Reller!

The Man Repeller!

One of the best blogs to read ever.  She's interesting and so witty with her words.  

I like her concept of women wearing very fashionable things that other women might find really great, but men on the other hand, do not. In fashion, we women dress more for other women than we do for men anyways, which is funny.

I love her style though, the mixing of menswear and feminine clothing brings the outfits to another level, but I think only certain women can pull it off.  She does so quite well.

What do you think?

Have you ever worn something that repelled men?
