🌙 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:

Let me know how you got your blog name in the comments 🖤

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.

Nebular,

Lavender's Blue

Printed Blue Long Sleeved Dress (Altar'd State). 'Poet' Hat (Bailey of Hollywood). Pony Boots (To be Announced Shoes).

Hello Earthlings!~

Today I tried out a new sushi place called Mizu, it's alright, nothing compares to Hawaii sushi. And I miss Hawaii sushi so badly!!! Mizu is chill, missed out on the happy hour menu but we were so hungry that we didn't want to wait another hour. 

Anyways, after eating Mark took my pics outside the sushi joint and we saw a pond area that was perfect to shoot. Whenever we see a duck, it just fascinates us because we don't see ducks walking around in Hawaii, only at the zoo. They just roam freely here. While Mark was taking my photos the ducks would walk closer and closer to us. We kept laughing because there was that one sad lonely duck and we wanted to keep it because it looked so disheveled..."That duck's been through a lot, it knows the struggle"... Mark is hilarious...

The dress I'm wearing is from Altar'd State and I love this store because their motto is: stand out for good. Some of the clothes have tags printed, "a portion of the proceeds from every Altar'd State brand purchases will be donated to feed, clothe, and educate children", like YAS! Such an inspiring store.

Okay so the reason why I titled this post Lavender's Blue is because Mark said the dress reminded him of Cinderella. And ever since we watched the movie we'd sing the lullaby to each other, I also catch him singing it in the shower. It's such a funny and cute song, when clearly lavender is not blue, it's lavender. It's our little inside joke.

Stellar,

Romantical

Floral Dress (BCBG Generation). Floppy Hat (Chapel Hats).

Hello Earthlings!~

Romantical = Romance + Magical

I know it's been a while! I bought a new camera just a week ago and I am so happy! So for sure I will blog more! Yesterday I was so bummed out, I had the blues. I was not inspired to do anything, I was constantly crying and today Mark pushed me to start again with this blog. I always feel like a failure at life and people have it way better than me. I know I can be SO fucking dramatic. There's other people out there who have it worse than me, and I'm here complaining about how I'm in an artistic funk. 

So what better way to solve my artistic block? Shopping!!! And btw I bought my camera and clothes with my own money, Mark DOES NOT pay for everything...

Why that random photo of my hair? I slightly changed it to a hint of burgundy.

I saw this gorgeous store, at first I thought it was Free People but then I walked closer it's called, Altar'd State!!! I usually don't like to walk in stores I don't know much about, then Mark said, "let's check it out!!!" and I fell so in love with the interior! The clothes that they have are a cross between Brandy Melville and Free People very boho, feminine, and whimsical. I'm glad Mark pressured me to walk in! I had so much fun and they have a sale going on it's buy 2 sale items get the 3rd free. Of course I couldn't pass up this opportunity, be on the look out for the stuff I bought. I will return to this store if I need another inspiring shopping day. You should check it out if you are at St Johns Towns Center.

Until next time!~

Stellar,

Runaway (U & I) Party Thieves Remix by Galantis, what better way to kick off my blog? A cosmic nebular song that I'm vibing with.

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.

Nu WANG

Top (Alexander Wang x H&M). Chastity Bag (Alexander Wang). Cut Out Boots (Forever 21).

I just wanted to just show one of the items I'm obsessing about! It's the Alexander Wang mesh cut out sweater. I stood in line at 5 am in the morning with my best friend Ian. There wasn't a lot people when we got there because people in Hawaii really don't care for designer. Out of all the items that were part of the collection, I knew I had to get my hands on this! I kept talking to my boyfriend, Mark, about how much I loved this sweater but it was way over budget. Like the sweet boyfriend that he is, he told me to buy it and he said he'll pay me back. Come to find out he paid for the whole thing! He bought me this and these other two items I got from this collection as a birthday present!!! (*HAPPY FACE*) 

I'm so lucky he supports me! What did you buy from the Alexander Wang Collaboration with H&M? Are you happy with your items?

Music: New Slaves (Dj Snake Remix) by Kanye West

TBH when I was in line this song just kept playing in my head, LMFAO!
