Statement Accessories to Bring the 'Mee' Out of You

As Spring looms with rain and stormy forecasts, it is also a reminder that Summer is coming. Through the rain and sun, eating and partying, here are my picks for accessories that will bring lift to your soul instead of weigh you down. Hopefully, they'll bring out our your own personalized style as they are easily interchangeable with whatever idea you come up with.



 These will stand the test of time and are great additions to any collection.  What adds that 'oomph' to your own life?  

 

    

From Winter to Spring : A Curators' Love

For some individuals, curating comes not just in the form of a hobby, but true and real passion. It's not just pressing all the "like" buttons out there to get attention, but actually investing a part of ourselves by saying, I accept this as a representation of what i'm trying to achieve. There is no right or wrong. Instead, curators showcase to the world what can be, could be, and perhaps will be. They take the best of the best based on their vision.

 

As Spring approaches, I am reminded that I need a new inspiration board to get me through this climate transition and another turmoil... surgery. It'll be my second surgery in 3 months and I absolutely am not looking forward to it. I need to keep myself going and absolutely have to make sure that I don't sacrifice a part of myself and most importantly, my sanity!!! Thus, my curative vision has currently encompassed some of my daily needs.

 

Qualifications:

1. Comfortable

2. Flats

3. Easy and interchangeable items of clothing

4. Effortless

5. Conveys relaxed yet upbeat mood

 Take another look at the world around you... what do you see instead of what's shown to you? Visualize your dreams, happiness, goals and don't stop there. Inspire yourself and the rest will follow.

 

 

 

Doctors for Christmas

' Tis the season to do more than be greedy this holiday season.

Right: Dr. Marten's

The countdown is on and i will be getting hip surgery in a couple of weeks but also so Christmas nearing. I will be donating my Dr. Martens above and a few more items for those who do not have the necessities this holiday season. With all the glitz and glam that surrounds us sometimes it's easy to forget there are others with less than what we have.

Let's try to give back and spread the movement! Sometimes all you need is to give love in order to receive it. Send it share it spread it. Infect the world with love!

Crushin' Winter

While working on some undergoing projects, i had trouble focusing today. I put on my favorite bits and proceeded to mentally wash everything away.

Above are some of my darker pieces: the one on the right is vintage and the other from forever21. I'm a big believer in being able to find or create affordable items without sacrificing personal style.

Whenever we find ourselves in a rut or bombarded by white noise, why not take the little things in life we enjoy and the inspiration it takes for us to move forward on our own path? Each day is journey... why not stylize it? 

What themes do you find yourself going for this winter? 

Insta Gratify Mee

Sunday funday continues through instagram's immediate positive reinforcement to gratify all my desires. I'm a late bloomer of instagram and sad to say I've succumb to all it has to offer, especially for those who are decent enough to do the right thing by citing their sources. All in all it has served as a gigantic mood board of life that represents what @eternallymee is all about.

Here are the best of this week's inspiration in case anyone missed them :

O Camo My Camo

I really wish it were warm enough to wear this and I'm pretty sure i could add some leg wear and a long sweater or coat i could but unfortunately I'm cleaning things up so that i can have front row access to my sweats for after joint surgery. 

I'll be limited in terms of my posts here but hopefully I'll keep my instagram updated so follow me there @eternallymee !!!

I hope u join me for my journey and I'll be updating u on further projects soon so stay tuned! This camo bag will probably make several appearances this year as i will most likely use it for the hospital for the extra cargo pockets on the side. I love pockets! 

Dance, Dance, Dance - Lykki Li

Full of ups and downs, this week has been full of surprises.  I've been trying to hold my composure as obstacles occur but now all things are piling up at once!  Looking forward to some great projects in the upcoming weeks that I hope to update you all about.  I took a needed break to recollect some of my inspiration to keep me going and perhaps theyll inspire you too.

 

Bright, Contrast, Color, Distinction, what's not to love~ 

 

Also, I got some great musical collabs that i'll hopefully get in production this year.  Oh, but the poor car... broken down and sitting so sadly by itself... I will have to do something about that.  So for now, i'll dance!  slightly .

 

 

 

 

 

up, Up, And AWAY!

My lovely sister gave me these the other day.  How thoughtful of her, it just makes me want to fly!

Lead and nickel-free earrings

 

Luckily these aren't as sharp as they seem and can dangle effortlessly without hurting me :)  There's this slight chiming noise as each of the wings tap against each other as they rotate individually, which makes me feel sort of angelic.  I haven't gotten a chance yet to wear them yet, but ideas are already brewing in my head! 

 



Urban Outfitters' Inspiration

I continuously update and sort through my inspirations and came across Urban Outfitters' Fall style again.  It's been cold and snowy but what I like is how you can take these inspirational outfits and pair them with warm layers and coats for the winter or take layers away and use them for summer.  I'm a "mix-em-up" gal myself. I don't wear one particular type of style so it's good to just pull inspiration from different places and make your own.  Be open minded about patterns and texture.  In a way I guess i'm preparing for summer without forgetting that the cold winter air is still here!

Feel the warmth of these fall pieces...

Mee Photoshoot

I came across one of my latest photo shoots that inspired me.  I was fortunate to have been able to do a quick session in between the craziness and stress I was going through at the time.  Here's a behind-the-scenes look at Mee...

 

Fringes and pigtails.  I would never have thought I would come back to a pigtail style but... I like it with a boho, grunge, or even vintage-like concepts.  The emotion was there that day so hopefully it turned out well in pictures. 

Enjoy!

 

Mee Toukie Favs!!!

 

 

These are my favorites thus far of Toukie's posts capturing my ideals for style so very well captured with an Asian imprint.  I love how these are a mix of retro, modern, and vintage all at the same time.  I absolutely love the "nylon" quality and bits of color mixed in.  What works well is the ability to casually wear these styles or amp it up for a night out in the town.  There's minimal accessory requirement, which works well for your runaround day and for those who constantly lose their items!  Mee thinks Mee loves!!!  Platform shoes, boots, eyewear and hats are all simple yet basic needs for everyday wear.  How can you go wrong?!  You can't, even if you tried. These are definite must-haves in my closet and should be yours too!  So get going :)
