      Thank you! I've noticed that I'm appreciating simplicity a lot more as I grow older. I like to focus on details these days like a unique piece of jewelry. Nope, I'm not Vietnamese. I'm actually of Taiwanese descent.

      Well, I believe your best bet will probably be Ebay. Make it a Saved Search so Ebay will let you know if it becomes available as an auction! You may also want to check out different bloggers' shops, since you'll find items that the blogger no longer wears.

      I don't often shop for particular brands when looking for shoes and bags. For shoes, I tend to go for style and comfort. For bags, it depends on what I'm looking for at the time such as a particular color or size.

      With that said, I've noticed that I've accumulated several pairs of shoes by Faryl Robin, Jeffrey Campbell, Seychelles, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Converse. These brands show how eclectic I can be!

      My favorite bags are vintage/thrift store finds.

      With the convenience of the internet, I find myself mostly shopping online these days. However, you just can't replace the thrill of browsing and trying on items at a brick-and-mortar shop. One of my favorite stores in Houston is Loehmann's because you can find some amazing deals on great designers. Of course, Forever 21 is always a good bet if you want trendy pieces without the high price tag. I'm such a bargain hunter, but Barney's Co-Op is a guilty indulgence. I also love checking out local boutiques for obscure designer lines and thrift stores for unique vintage finds.

      You can find some of my favorite online shops at my "fave online shops" link on my blog.

      Thank you! It sounds like you have the motivation to start a blog which I believe is the first step. Blogs are time consuming so make sure you can put some time aside in your day to work on it. Updating is key to getting your photos and info. out on a consistent basis and keeping your readers interested.

      I would also recommend doing a little research on your favorite blogs and understanding what makes you a loyal reader. Those may be the very same reasons why other readers are attracted to that blog as well.

      Most of all, make the blog for yourself and enjoy what you're doing. I've found blogging to be a great creative outlet, a place to meet people with similar interests, and even a wonderful stress reliever! Don't be too self-conscious about it and just have fun! :)

      I use an oil-free and lightweight moisturizer in the morning with SPF in it. Currently, I'm using Biore Pore Minimizing moisturizer. At night, I use a slightly heavier moisturizer since I seem to dry out when I sleep. I've been using a mini tube of Gilchrist & Soames body lotion which I picked up from the plane. I have a ton of little mini lotions. They sure come in handy!

      I don't use eye cream, but now that you mention it, I probably should!

      I am in my last semester of law school and will be graduating in May! Yay! I am also working part-time as a law clerk in a mass torts plaintiff's firm.

      My most prized article(s) of clothing are probably my vintage finds that I know probably no one else will have. There's nothing like that surreal feeling of finding something amazing in a thrift store at a bargain-basement price.
