This is an older picture that I never had the chance to post up till now. I am absolutely in love with everything about that sweater. It is the perfect fit, keeps me warm and the print is my favorite.

The images below are of my little sister. I didn't think we look alike until just about 90% of my viewers think she's me. From now on, I will indicate which image is of me and which is of her. Here, she is wearing the cutest and comfiest sweater. An easy and laid back look which can be belted for a dressier look.

Also, be on the look-out for a new feature and interview this week!

'Sunnies' Side Up

These new leopard Donna sunnies gifted from proopticals are the perfect stand out piece. Since I don't wear prescription glasses, the people from proopticals were kind enough to add tints to my lens. I've been trying to experiment mixing prints/textures so instead of pairing these leopard sunnies with another leopard print, I paired it with a retro floral print scarf.

Hi everyone! I know it has been the longest since my last update.

So the issue was, I was not able to log onto my blogging account. I have been using my university's email to sign in and since gmail have made changes throughout the past months, apparently my university email didn't exist on blogger any longer. So I spent quite some time trying to figure it out but with the help of my handy dandy bf, he was able to come to my rescue! You don't know how happy I am to be back!

Also, above is the December Style Diary clip that sums up some of the outfits from last month.

Suited

Top: DKNY, Blazer: Thrifted, Pants: H&M, Shoes: Vintage

If you know me, you know that I love tailored clothing. The only problem is, I am a college student and cannot afford the finer things. So I'm settling on my vintage finds and matching them with things I have to achieve the looks I want. Yesterday morning, I quickly put this outfit together as I was running late for my final and was pleasantly surprise by the outcome. I was late so I pulled my hair in a bun and had no makeup. Then I came back and fixed myself up for work so these photos were taken before work. Doesn't it amaze you when you can put together a lovely outfit with the most minimal time it took you and then when you actually take the time, you cannot put together an outfit that pleases you? Well it amazes me because this happens more than often! I think I should stick to waking up late (which I generally do) and allowing myself only 10 minutes to get dressed!

Seeing Double

Navy Pants: H&M, Hat: Forever 21, Top: Dillard's, Trench: Gifted

I've literally been seeing double lately with all of the sleepless nights staying up working and studying for finals. I think I've reached my limit with almost 3-4 days barely any sleep! The lack of sleep reflected on my health as well as wardrobe. If you are one of the lucky few who've seen me this past week, I apologize. It has been a crazy mess! Luckily this upcoming week will be the end of it (till next semester, that is)!

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)!
