Eastern promises

Dweller of Eastern things.

Something has happened to me lately. I don't know if it's good or bad, but in terms of finding true inspiration, I'd say it's leaning towards the former.

I'm going to be honest, in the past few months I've been trying really hard to hide my Korean pop obsession. It hasn't been the easiest thing to do. Writing cryptic tweets, private tumblr messaging, creating anonymous blogs -all while hoping it would pass soon enough.

The hoping, as you can tell, has been in vain. What's more, the Kpop thing has turned into a great appreciation for (SE) Asian culture and the minimalism that often goes with it, which prompted the birth of this blog.

It's a portfolio of everything Asian from pop culture to architecture. 'An Asian who likes Asian things', that's the cliché I'm going for here.

'An oasis of minimalist and Asian awesomeness'

My Tumblr: an Introduction

It has come to my attention that my new Tumblr layout is somewhat confusing so I'm gonna try to clear things up as much as possible.

www.tiffanyalwaysknows.tumblr.com

First of all, not every picture (GIF, audio, video) on my Tumblr is my own. However I'd like to think about 60% of it are my own photos (for example the pictures marked with a red star in the photo above are mine).

If you're not in the mood for going through a blog full with (mostly) photos that gives me the tingles and makes me happy for being alive in this creative world, and only wants to look at photos that I've taken you can click on the  'My photos only' link (red sq in photo above). The link is quite tricky though, because the text is small and you often have to click on the white space above the text instead of on it. As you can see there are also links to my Streetstyle blog 'Hello Fancy', my twitter account 'Tweet me', my archive and so on. You can also leave me a message by clicking on 'Ask me stuff'.

As you've realized the whole photo is not shown on the page. Being the sensible person as you are, you will click on the photo if you wish to see the whole thing.

For your convenience (or not) I've also enabled endless scrolling, so you can just keep scrolling and scrolling until there aren't anything to see anymore.

Toodles,
Tiffany

Wonderfully egocentric

So you might be wondering (probably not), who is this person (..she talks loads of shit)? Sometimes I wonder the same thing. As wonderfully egocentric I am, I will try to answer that question in this entry.

My name's Tiffany. I have one of those Chinese surnames you've probably never heard before. So yes, I'm originally Chinese but live in Sweden, until last year but more of that later. I lived a shockingly normal still, on the verge of boring, life in Sweden's 3rd biggest city with my family. I went to school. I studied a lot of English because I wanted to be in a Harry Potter movie (true story). I was a person with practically no free time because I studied and when I didn't I took both acting and violin lessons.

Last summer I graduated high school/upper secondary school (or whatever you call it) and moved on to study fashion marketing and journalism (yes that's my course) in London. Although I spent about 7 months in London the previous year I still consider Sweden as my home. In September I'll start my 2nd year and it more than sometimes freaks me out. I don't think of myself as a journalist, I neither think of myself as a fashion person and that also freaks me out.

I'm a highly classified no-life person. Most of the time I don't do anything interesting. I take a lot of pictures and I think photography is interesting as hell...and stuff. I edit and post most of my photos on my tumblr blog, on which I spend more time on than I would like to admit. I also teach myself to play, mostly Jonas Brothers, songs on the guitar. I regularly follow TV series and watch insanely many movies. If I could live anywhere it would be in a cinema auditorium.

And finally. I tweet. I recently rediscovered a Taiwanese boy band. I've had my heart broken once and never loved since. I rarely text or use my cellphone for that matter. I got Facebook purely from peer pressure. I would love to direct one day and I'm really into elections.

Peace out,
Tiffany

I always go down

Feeling incredibly low. I'm desprately trying not to let things wreck my summer, by looks of things now I don't think I can.

Anyway, if you go to my tumblr, I might cheer up for bit
