I'm going boho in the summer

Boho-chic is a female fashion trend that was started by the hippies in the 1960s.
It was especially popular during the 2004-2008 period when Sienna Miller worked the trend and attracted hundreds of paparazzi's.
Fortunately, this look is in revival and will be popular again in the summer of 2010.
Here are some of the must-have items you need for a bohemian look:

cute earrings and baggy tops

sandals, big hoop earrings, headband across your forehead, and bangles!

Oh, and don't forget to whip out those shades 8-)

And of course, we cannot forget the braided, messy hairstyle :)

I personally really like this hairstyle on Blake Lively.

She looks gorgeous with any hairstyle but I personally think she looks amazing with this hair-do.

As much as I'm aware of how much people hate Miley Cyrus, I must admit she looks really good in bohemian outfits.

So do Vanessa Hudgens and Rachel Bilson!

You can also find this "carefree" look on top notch fashion runway.

The outfit on the very right is my personal favourite although the model looks like she could use another 15 pounds :P

This is Sienna Miller working the look. Isn't she gorgeous?

There is something about this look that really appeals to me. Maybe it's just the free bohemian spirit that makes this look so captivating.

go boho, not hobo :)

My ultimate favourite place to shop for lingerie is PINK without a doubt.

PINK is a newly-launched clothing line for the famous Victoria's Secret.

Since there's no Victoria Secret stores in Canada, I go to either La Senza or PINK :)

I remember watching a documentary on one of the VS model auditions and it was sooo friggin competitive to become one of them. No wonder why they are so flawless!

Here are some of my favourite VS models:

Adriana Lima

She is the most gorgeous VS model, in my opinion, after Giesel Bunchen.

She is currently the Queen of all Victoria's Secret Angels :)

Heidi Klum

When I first read that she was a mother of 4 children, oldest one being 6, I flipped out. She is so gorgeous and confident and intelligent! She is currently married to Seal.

Tyra Banks

Many people might know her from the show I used to worship back when I was in high school, America's Next Top Model. If not, maybe you have seen her in her popular talk show, The Tyra Banks Show. But she was also a VS model back in her prime modeling career.

I respect her for her boldness and confidence. Tyra Banks is one of the most well-achieved model I know, without a doubt.

To be honest, when I was in high school it was my dream to be the first asian model to walk on the runway at the Victoria's Secret fashion show :P

Although that the dream's been crushed by Liu Wen, who is the first ever East Asian to walk down the VS Fashion Show in 2009, and my new priority aka university, these models are still my inspiration to stay in shape and squeeze in as much modeling as I can throughout university :)

J'adore Victoria's Secret.

"I can be surrounded by a sea of people and still feel all alone... Then I think of you.."

"I know the guy who wrote all those letters is somewhere inside of you. But I can't wait for him. Cause waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought.

Useless and disappointing."

"Half the night i waste in sighs, half in dreams I sorrow after the delight of early skies. In a wakeful doze I sorrow for the hand, the lips, the eyes, for the meeting of the morrow."

- A Cinderella Story

Sun is on my side take me for a ride.

I was woken up at around 10am today by a phone call.

After 10 minutes of mumbling things I do not have any recollection of, I headed towards my window for some fresh air.

It was the best feeling I have gotten in months. I almost felt like Sleeping Beauty who has just seen the sun for the first time in a hundred years.

I figured I need to soak up all the sunshine while it lasted. So I'm going to make a trip to the library soon instead of studying in my dark dungeon-like residence room.

I usually don't like blogging about things like weather because I think it's super cheesy. But this time I cannot help myself. I had forgotten sunshine could make a person this refreshed and energetic :)

Fantasizing about summer 2010,
