Fergie recently rocked the perfect top knot to the debut of her footwear line at Nordstrom. I’m simultaneously obsessed and terrified of top knots: obsessed because with the right amount of hair and styling, it can look sleek, sophisticated yet slightly playful a la Gwen Stefani:
But since I’m Asian and my bone structure is particularly sensitive to anything that would make my face look more like a square than like a normal human being’s, I feel like I have to be EXTRA careful about how I top knot my head. I’ve found the key is to have a lot (and I mean A LOT) of hair and volume on top to balance out a stronger bone structure to avoid that awesome squashed-and-flattened pancake face effect.
My attempt:
Yep, still think I look like Rachael Leigh Cook from She’s All That when she’s working at the falafel joint:
The other day, I was busy making the skies a little friendlier by shooting an episode of Lifestyle 365 in Dana Point. I rocked Scandalicious for the first time (see below) and, despite my initial apprehension about the color being too bright for camera, it totally held up. Lesson: if you’re tanned or tannish or any color in the “not pale” category, go ahead and capitalize on the fact that you can wear bright makeup. The same goes with wardrobe. I’ve worn this top on 4 shoots now (but who’s counting?) and it’s become a go-to because the color pops, the material wears well and it doesn’t look its price - meaning it cost < $20. Nordstrom Rack, kids. I’m telling you.
Look for Lifestyle 365 on Delta, American and Virgin America airlines.
Top, Lush. Gold cuff, Target.
