Those boots were made for walking, but my shorts weren't made for bikes

Black tank: RW&Co
Sweater: Dynamite
Skirt: from Taiwan
Lace cycle shorts: Urban Outfitters
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Flats: gift, from Taiwan


Check out my new bag!!! Well, not so new anymore, but this may be one of the first outfit posts I've done wearing it. This Marc by Marc Jacobs bag was the last of its style at Aritzia and I got it for 40% off! I tried to hide it from Mr. Artist's disapproving eyes, but the new purchase shine in my eyes was too obvious. Anyways, with this outfit I was trying to layer a short skirt so that I could make it more appropriate for my super-casual office. These lace cycle shorts have been a godsend this summer as I layer them endlessly with anything and everything.

This week's song comes courtesy of a new Asian pop sensation that I've found recently. Chloe Wang burst onto the Chinese music scene a mere couple years ago, but this US-born, half-Chinese teen beauty is making waves overseas and at home. Below is her single Uh-Oh, which has been recently translated into English for release here. The beat is catchy, but according to the Interwebz, her Mandarin isn't worth sh*t. Oh well, I can think of a few North American artists who can barely speak legible English too and they were born here!

I need those shorts! Cause let's face it -- it's not like I'm going to be doing much biking.

You look cute as always!

40% off??? Jealous! It's gorgeous!

LOL, Mr Artist should have been happy to see the shine in your eyes. Although, I do understand that sometimes we lose sight of how special that is. After spending 3 hours on the road and over 2 hours in a huge antique shop on Sunday, I probably did not appreciate the glow in my wife's eyes the way I should have. I'll have to make that up to her this weekend.

I think the skirt would make me nervous without the shorts--they look great together! =)

I am SO with you on the bag front... no one does it better than Marc! I recently invested in a (rather similar) classic black one myself and I love it more everyday. You are brave to try the lace cycling shorts look... and it works perfectly. Great blog btw X
