🌙 Moon Pixie✨

Decided to play with my metallic tattoos today, I’m surprised how shiny they look. I titled this pixie because that’s how I got my blog name, Moxia! My blog was called the Seamstress Empress, but Mark told me that it’s hard to remember. I had to find a shorter name, that’s when I did a fantasy name generator and put my name Monica... They listed several names but Moxia pulled my heartstrings. It was described to belong to a pixie. I love fairies so much that I own fairy tarot cards.

Pixies are described as childlike and michevious. I appear to look like a 16 year old, but I’m actually 25. Before it used to bother me because I’d get carded whenever I wanted a drink. Now I learned how to embrace myself and my appearance. In the long run, when I’m 50 I’ll look 25. The perks of being Asian.

Currently, I’m obsessed with this song:

🌷Tulip Town Mt Vernon🌷

Mark and I decided to explore today since the sun was gleaming. Lately, it’s been so gloomy that I barely get the chance to sightsee and play tourist. We ended up at Tulip Town in Mount Vernon and it was $7/ea. I’d say it’s not worth it because there are other competition around this area. Needless to say, I’m very elated with our mini adventure.

Mark hates taking my photos for my lookbook account... I can be very demanding and meticulous with the vibe I’m trying to exhibit. He was also annoyed with the crowds because he felt rushed. As an empath it drains my energy because of his anxiety. I’m surprised how the photos turned out.

Be mindful that it gets muddy and smells like fertilizer, if you decide to visit. Thanks for reading!

Greetings!~

Today I wanted to go take photos at a park, but I was too shy to do it because there were people around so we drove around and saw this dock where all these boats were, then tada!!! It was quite difficult shooting because this Florida heat makes both of us (Mark and I) impatient. The sun was beaming and Mark hates to sweat, so I tried to relax more on my facial expressions, I totally was going to be a grouch today if he didn't get it right. 

The deal is if he takes my photos for my blog then I will go grocery shopping and be a total angel to him. I HATE grocery shopping, there's crowds and I get really anxious and nervous. I have no clue why but I just hate going there. He takes forever, but he says it his favorite past time with his mom, so I can't complain. Adorable right?

The last photo sums up pretty much the mood that I was in, FRUSTRATED. I reviewed all the photos and we had some lighting problems. Then we decided to walk to another location where I guess people have parties, and he took some photos there. I was happy because of the lighting but then the location just threw me off because I'm on the rocks then grass and now a wooden platform. As I started uploading my photos from my camera I remembered I have Adobe Photoshop <3 ***angel harps playing***

Long story short I'm an idiot and I will use the location, wooden platform place, on another blog post with a different outfit. So it doesn't confuse people. And I am so glad that I have Photoshop to edit my pics because now I don't have to worry about the lighting as much. I will be cautious though because no one likes an overexposed pic.

Update: Jacksonville, Florida

Dress (H&M). Boots (TBA shoes). Alexander Wang X H&M sunglasses.

I know it's been a whole month since I've updated this blog. It's so hard transitioning from Hawaii to Florida. I'm getting use to the whether (I'm freezing mostly everyday). During the weekends, I tell Mark to take pictures of me, so I am back (to blogging)...

I like it here so far, I miss my family and friends back home but I like exploring the area. Mark and I went on a nature trail, I love how the leaves change colors and I got to collect pinecones. Anything rustic and woodsy has my name on it! ^_^ And the bench I'm sitting on written "K&S" so romantic, or is it vandalism?! (lol) 

In this look I kept it really simple with this black dress and wore my Alexander Wang X H&M sunglasses, I still have to post the infamous WANG cropped sweater I got from the collab, I know it's so late to post, but I was waiting for the right moment. This dress is one of my 'drunk shopping' items with Mark after our wedding. >_<

All I want is positive vibes and more adventures with my husband, I have to get used to saying that... Oh and all my pictures are by Mark, pretty alright for his first shoot with me. I also decided to add him in the video because he was teasing me when I was doing the walking scenes...

Feeling Etro

Printed Jumpsuit (Forever21). Black Pony Bots (TBA shoes).

Hey there Earthlings!~

I've been feeling so inspired lately to post as much as I can. I also want to do makeup and skincare reviews for my blog because I enjoy using face masks from Korean stores like Tony Moly, The Face Shop, and Nature Republic. 

This jumpsuit I got is from Forever 21 reminds me of the brand Etro. Anyways, I have made some money off this blog, I know it's not a lot but it's giving me more reason to update. I never knew it would be such a difficult thing to do. 

Lately, I've been wasting my life away at Starbucks and talking to friends about the future. I really don't know what it holds but 2015 is around the corner and I want to end this year on a good note. Positive energy into the universe... I've struggled a lot with my emotions this year, and now I want a clean start. I'm glad I started this blog and with the whole Adsense, everybody has to start somewhere right?  

I'm currently obsessed with: The Voice (Chris Jamison), Black Charcoal Masks, and my Chloe flats I bought on Black Friday! ^__^  

Stellar,

I am in love with Lykke Li!!!~  In high school, I'd listen to her music and she cured my soul (back in 2009-2010).

Industrial Revolution

Halter Body Suit (American Apparel). Circle Skirt (American Apparel). Fedora (Chapel Hats). DWBH boots (UNIF).

This post is inspired by the dirt, metal, and grit of a warehouse. It's just scraps of metal and wood all over the place I like to take pictures with that because I feel like I have connection to all things crazy and messy. Like my style I feel like I'm all over the place and it depends on my mood. I was so sick of wearing black at work that I bought a dress with orange specks on it. I NEVER would wear orange but I just needed some color in my life.

Music: By the Throat by Chvrches

My all time favorite band Chvrches, I love listening to their cd when I'm driving.

What the Fringe?

Black Floppy(Chapel Hats). Fringe Top(Charlotte Russe). Slit Skirt(American Apparel). Velvet Shoes(H&M). Coin Bag (Thrifted).

Hello Earthlings!~

So recently I went to the Alexander Wang x H&M collab, and I can't wait to style looks with it. I also have 2 more looks coming up I did earlier this week but I'm putting it on hold and shooting the A Wang collab instead. It was crazy busy! If you follow me on instagram, @monicahellz I look like a happy camper! My best friend and I were in line since 5am luckily people in Hawaii don't give a sht about designer collabs, or they just don't know about them... We had a game plan and I walked out with all the items I wanted! Don't worry I will post it up pretty soon, I've just been busy at work. It's so much fun working with my best friend! Especially when I am helping with his sales. 

Anyways back to this post I love the slimy peace symbol and fringe. The skirt is getting faded (*sad face*). I bought the shoes at H&M a while back and it was on sale for only $8! Great for the Holiday season! I'm so stoked for the Holidays.
