Inspiration: Parris Goebel

Paris Goebel is basically the coolest girl on the planet. Most know her nowadays as the choreographer for all the Justin Bieber's Purpose videos, but she also choreographed for a bunch of other people like JLo and Nicky Minaj. You can see more about this New Zealander here . Once you see her work, I guarantee you'll be just as amazed. image from nylon.com image from parrisgoebel.com image from parrisgoebel.com image from elle.com She's one of the best choreographers out there. Just watch the video below. (I fell down the rabbit hole when I started watching YouTube videos of the numbers she's choreographed....just saying....) I must've seen this Sorry video a hundred times. Parris, her dance crew and polyswagg...what's not to love? Who's been inspiring you lately?

There....I said it....) ecolé poncho from Urban Outfitters worn with H&M tank top underneath, no-name leggings, Timberland boots Some outtakes...hehe How's the weather where you are?

Things I'm loving lately.... 1) The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer I've had the first book Cinder for awhile because it was my recommended by my SIL, but it wasn't until recently that I've had the chance to read it, and I.Am.Hooked. I had to buy the rest of the series right away, yo! It's YA, and the whole series is based on different fairy tales, with a mix of Star Wars-like saga. I'm on the third book right now. 2) My youngest and I really love these Invisibobbles I won in a giveaway, which I've discussed here . 3) Luvskin Green Tea Toner I've been hearing about Korean skin care products for a long time now, but haven't really tried anything. Inspired by Rowena , who has an amazing skin care routine and does great product reviews including different Korean brands, I thought I'd give it a shot. I saw this toner in an Asian store, and thought I'd give it a go, and I'm liking it so far! 4) Pixi Flawless Vitamin Veil I...

Hudson Bay coat, hat and sweater I knitted awhile back, jeans from Urban Outfitters, Ugg Australia boots Hand knits are perfect for this kind of weather.
