in the darkness of mere being."

MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS! "HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS!"

TALK FASHION TV 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

My heart felt wishes to all of you on this very special day. May your holidays be filled with warmth, love, and positivity.
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is one of my most favorite holiday songs and something I hold dear to my heart. Immortalized by the iconic Judy Garland it reminds us of life that reflects the bitter sweetness of golden moments.

Much love to you all

-Maya

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS (Lyrics)
Music composed by Hugh Martin, lyrics by Ralph Blane
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

Storytime: お盆 Obon and Childhood Memories in Japan

TALKFASHION TV

In this episode of Fashion Storytime, I discuss my childhood memories in Japan. Obon is a time for remembrance of loved ones, and it is particularly special for me because it reminds me of my beloved grandfather. All my memories spent in Japan flood back to me through smells, food, and fashion. With a quick blink of an eye, it's as if the present and past blend into an alternate reality.

TALKFASHION TV: OBON LANTERN FESTIVAL お盆

TALKFASHION TV: OBON STYLE VIDEO

Obon is a beautiful custom celebrated in Japan, and by far my favorite moment of the Summer season. It is a time of remembrance, soul, togetherness, and love. The moment is reflective, personal, and a time to observe one's own life meaning.
There are so many things in life that give you instant satisfaction, and enjoyment. However, it is in the moments that touch your heart, that make you realize how precious life really is. We are infinitely connected to our past, and all the decisions of today, are processing our tomorrow.

I hope you like my short film based on how I style from the soul.

SUMMER FASHION LOOKBOOK (2016): DANDELION STYLE

SUMMER LOOKBOOK SERIES: 

DANDELION STYLE 

Inspired by William Shakespeare; Sonnet 18

SONNET XVIII

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;
By thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou grow'st;
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

PART 2: Going to the Ball

Like a dream, she cannot believe her eyes!
Feeling like a princess, she managed to collect everything she needed: a beautiful dress and the most decadent diamond necklace!
She is a complete success, and every man in the room is squirming to meet her and steal a dance.

Overjoyed, she dances till 4 am hoping the night would never end.
When she is finally ready to leave, she is filled with feelings of panic and shame. She sees all the other ladies in their luxurious furs, and feels ridiculous in her jean jacket.
Feeling completely exposed and judged, she rushes home.

PART 1: The Invitation!

Unhappy with her life, she dreams of the day she can be part of the glamorous world of decadence. One day, she gets her chance, and is invited to a Royal Ball. Although she is initially elated, she is quickly filled with feelings of inadequacy and shame.
What would she wear? Nothing she owned would be good enough, and everyone would laugh at her.
Her husband then agrees to buying her a new dress, but is confronted with a new problem regarding jewelry. How could she possibly go to a formal event without jewelry?
She then remembers a dear friend who owns a large collection of elaborate jewels and decides to borrow one from her.

Enjoy!

WHAT DOES YOUR BAG KNOW ABOUT YOU?

Girls and handbags, are quite the mysterious combination. Every single day we tote around our life and stress about what we need and how we can fit it all. A bag is either too big, too small, too heavy, or just not the right color. If you take one moment away from the obvious, and dump the contents of your bag, what do you see?

The truth is, your bag is a solid representation of where your mind is at. Is it cluttered, chaotic and messy? If yes, then your mind is also having trouble processing, organizing and rationalizing. 

What about the contents?  

When we are students, our bags or backpacks, represent the mindset of learning, and education. After school, the contents of our bag say a lot about what you set as your highest priorities.

If your bag is mainly beauty or grooming products, it means you have set your looks as your highest priority.

What about items that inspire you? Why do we not value our own perceptions? What about items that remind you to look for beauty in the world, or open your mindset to things you would normally forget to notice? Why is it, we value so much of our attention on how we are seen, verses how we see the world?

Join me tomorrow as WHAT'S IN MY BAG goes live on TALKFASHION TV, and you can see the random items I carry to live INSPIRED.
