Neutrals

Sheer Blouse: Forever 21 (Birthday gift), Skirt: Express, Laced up boots: Gifted. Unknown., Socks: Betsy Johnson

This lovely blouse was gifted from a sweet friend of mine, Charissa, as a birthday present. It is so cute when paired with a button-up. This was what I wore on Thanksgiving day because the weather was sooo nice that day! The weather has been quite strange. It shouldn't be this warm near the end of November! I hope you've all enjoyed your festivities and all survived through your food coma over the holiday weekend! :)

P.S. Here's the second November style diary video documentary to end this lovely month! Enjoy!

Lights Out

Denim Top: French Connection (similar @ Mossimo), Sweater: Hand-me-downn (similar @ Motel), Burgundy Tights: DKNY, Boots: Urban Outfitters

Happy Thanksgiving Day everyone! First off, I want to thank YOU, readers, for stopping by! You give me motivation to keep my blog going! So I really appreciate that! There are actually plenty of things I am thankful for each and every day and I sincerely mean that! I am thankful for my supportive family, a loving bf, beautiful friends, wonderful opportunities and the LIFE that I am living (to sum it up)! This is one of my favorite holiday because as humans, the one special ability that we have is that we can reflect. Thanksgiving allow us to reflect on our life and the things we are thankful for. That's what makes this holiday so meaningful for me. So what about you? I'm sure there are many things you are thankful for as well! What are a few of them?

Jac5 Loyal/Check Boxer in Black

Also, since midnight is the start of Black Friday, are you getting a heads start on your Christmas to-do/buy list? I know I am! I know it's especially hard when it comes to purchasing presents for that special someone. Luckily, Jac5 has made my life much simpler this year by gifting me an item of my choice from their site! Jac5 is a premium, modern luxury underwear brand for men that is comfortable and stylish with a sense of humor. Since my bf is the more comfortable type vs. the stylish type, I decided to pick something that's a bit safer. Something I think he will enjoy wearing. I chose the Loyal/Check Boxer in black. I think this will be a great mini present for him for the holiday! Thanks Jac5!

Dotted Everywhere

Believe it or not, everything is vintage or thrifted other than my shoes.

Similar items can be found, like the black sweater, from Diesel, the polka-dotted skirt from Forever21and this awesome clutch I'm pretty obsessed with by Nicole Miller.

I am so ready for Thanksgiving break and eat lots of yummy food! Oh, and not to mention, Black Friday! Who's all going!? I'm still debating whether I want to participate in the crazy madness. I may consider doing some online shopping instead. Don't forget that Black Friday isn't just in-store but you can get great deals online as well!

Video Style Diary

Tights: DKNY, Blouse: Converse, Skirt: Forever21

Since I've neglected my youtube account for quite some time, I've decided to incorporate my daily outfits into a video format (remember to watch in HD) to also show how the clothes appear in motion. I think it will give it a different perspective compared to what I've been doing normally. I like to challenge myself and do things that I'm not used to doing all the time. I know I've been taking on much more than I can handle but I just can't find a reason for me to say no to any of the things that I am doing and wanting to do. I can't say no to classes, my internship and other commitments I've made. Those are the things I feel obligated to do; so why not do the things that I find enjoyment in even if it will be a little time consuming? I just have to be dedicated in all of the things I do so hopefully, this will be something I will continue to do in the future. It may end up being a monthly or bi-weekly thing depending on the amount of time I have. Thanks for joining a new venture with me and I hope you enjoy your Monday to the best of your ability (because I know how hard that can be)!

Purple Sky

Here is a really quick update of my sister and I last Friday as the sun was setting. The sky just looked so beautiful!

New Hair

Skirt: Forever21, Blazer: Macy's, Blouse: Forever21, Bag: Margot

I am kind of in love with mixing bright, bold colors with black or more neutral colors. I find it to be a great balance and can cheer your mood up during the Autumn season! I am glad to have chosen this location to photograph my outfit also because the green color on the skirt goes so well with the background!

I had my hair chopped off for my birthday. It was pretty daring for me because I haven't had my hair this short since my elementary days! Thanks to the wonderful hairstylist, Mae Mlo, my hair turned out exactly the way I wanted it to be! Come visit her at Hair Experts Salon to get your hair done. Mae is very talented and cares very much about her clients. She literally spent 30 minutes prepping me and making sure that I was ready before cutting my hair off. I am so happy to have taken this risk because I prefer this new look. My hair is much lighter and dries so much faster! She also styled it for my birthday celebrations that night (which was a masquerade theme). I will share photos with you all soon!
