Do you speak Vietnamese? Have you ever been to Vietnam? I understand Vietnamese, but I don't speak it. I've been to Vietnam once. I plan on going again in 2014.
Are your nieces full Viet? No, they're half Caucasian. The funny thing is they speak better Vietnamese than I do, except it's more sad than funny.
Do you really wear certain outfits outside? Of course. It'd be a complete waste of time and effort if I didn't actually wear my clothes in public.
How does it feel or what is your experience when you are walking down the street, dressed the way you dress and knowing that people might be staring? I'm used to people staring at me, although I've never actually had a stranger negatively comment on anything I wear, not to my face anyway. Just remember to keep your head up high and your middle finger higher.
Favorite food? I'm a sucker for desserts and baked goods/anything carb-related.
Top 3 turn-ons and turn-offs? Turn-ons: Honesty, humility and humor. Turn-offs: Close-mindedness, lack of manners/common decency and excessive drinking.
Are you currently in a relationship? I'm not one to put labels on things.
Who are some of your favorite musicians/bands? Adele, Lauryn Hill, Lykke Li, Robyn, Sara Bareilles, OneRepublic, The Fray, The Script, I could go on forever.
Life motto? Expect the worst, hope for the best.
Your favorite lipstick/lipgloss brand and why. MAC, but only because I have yet to experiment with other brands.
How were you as a teenager? My parents would describe me as being an angel, but little did they know I was sneaking out, going to raves and getting high (sorry mom and dad). Side thought: Do you ever just sit there and marvel at how opinionated you used to be, and maybe still is? Age 15/16/17 and you couldn't possibly be wrong. It wasn't you, it was them. Adults including your very own parents just didn't get it. You were too cool. Now, you slap yourself on the forehead. Was it you all along who didn't get it? You thought you knew, but you had no idea.
Do you have any quirky hidden talents? Not that I know of.
Who are some of you personal icons/heroes? Aside from my parents, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Harvey Milk, Barack Obama, Ellen DeGeneres, just to name a few. There are some people who've mastered the art of giving others hope; showing them the light when all seems lost. These people are my heroes.
What's your most painful pair of high heels and how long can you stand and walk in them? I don't care what anyone says, I find the YSL Tribute platform pumps extremely uncomfortable. That doesn't stop me from wearing them, though. They're my "sit down and look pretty" shoes.
What's the craziest thing you've ever done to your hair? I had my hair bleached and dyed half blonde, half black before, Cruella de Vil style.
Are you really getting a half sleeve tattoo? I have a consultation appointment tomorrow.
How would you describe your style? My style varies on different days. I don't think we should limit ourselves to just one.
Best blogger friends? Mae of thereafterish (E-BFF), Michelle of FVNCY, Christina of Profresh Style and Sharon of elisharon. Love these ladies. I get inspired by them on a daily basis.
What's your biggest struggle in life? Reminding myself that life is worth living. I'm getting better.
Where do you go from here? I haven't figured out the answer to that yet.
XOXO,

Dear EBFF,
Just read your answers... some of them were some of the same questions I asked you in the email, but hopefully you'll still write me anyway.
I actually just teared up a little after reading this.
You are such a wonderful, beautiful, inspiring human being, and it really flatters me and feels like such an honor to be named here.
Thank you for being alive, for simply existing. You are making my life better just by simply being you. Wherever you are.
LOVEYOUBFF,
Mae Lu @ thereafterish.!
Oh love, you are a doll. It's been crazy watching your journey on the blog, knowing nothing more than what you post. And I know that's the smallest portion of you. I can't wait to get to know you more in Canada, I feel like we both have this "no bullshit" approach to life. You keep it real girl and I couldn't appreciate that more!
xx,
Christina
looking lovely :)

I've been following your blog here and there and I have to ask, please don't think I'm being rude or distasteful, but how do you afford all of the nice designer things you're always wearing?
I'm about to be 21 and I can barley afford gasoline!
@juicyysecrets: Please refer to Answers Part 1.
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed getting to know a bit more about you. Your blog always gives so much inspiration, from your outfit photos to all the words that you say. I love how you're so real and bold with whatever you want to do. And you don't act like those stupid bloggers who just comment on people's outfits and ask them to follow them haha
And I'm also excited to see your half tattoo sleeve!

Favourite part: keep your head high and your middle finger higher! This is why I love you Lily. You don't have time for nonsense and you live life for you!
;-)
Fabulous, I always love to hear your answers xx

You're so gorgeous!
I'm loving your shoes...
Lily, I am so thrilled to see that you left me a blog comment!!! Thank you! Very inspiring.
I love reading what you wrote up there. Reminds me so much of my younger days. Now, I am 40+++.
I love your outfit, as usual, especially your top!
I agree ... YSL Tribute platforms are beyond beautiful but, unfortunately, it is one that makes us suffer for fashion!
You are a star!
Hugs,
Mariel
cannot wait to see your new tattoo! very inspiring post.
http://dressedyet.blogspot.com
Love it!! Love you more *_*
I enjoy reading your answers more than other bloggers' questions posts as they seem to hint at so much more and yet you are so "real" in them. I can imagine that people in Van must stare at you alot b/c people here are so shocked to see any sort of fashionable person at all :p
adorable top and those pumps are to die for!

Middle finger higher, hell yes. That is how I roll. You are awesome, good luck at your consultation tomorrow. Sleeves are so bitchin.
I had to read this again.
I love that you love Lykke Li. I'm so in love with her lately.
You and I will need to go on a cupcake and pizza binge one day. And spend all afternoon reading fashion mags and watching Burton/Depp films. Capice?
xx{ish}.,
Mae Lu @ thereafterish.!
love this outfit. love the simple color combo! :)
lily you are great!
that is all
I love you Lily! YOU inspire me daily... and I can't wait for the day we meet.. IT. WILL. HAPPEN. :)
You are beautiful inside and out.
xx Love & Aloha
p.s. I understand Ilocano, but don't speak it either. I hope to visit my motherland (Philippines) one day. I haven't been back since my family and I left when I was 3. That was 25 years ago!
very cute... love your blog, new follower, Lala
