Happy March! I just finished an intensive round of exams and I have two major essays due within the next two weeks. But you know what? I'm actually happy! I love being a student and keeping busy though managing work and my other endeavors is gradually reducing the amount of sleep I get each night (I'm averaging about 4 hours per weekday). However, I'm so thankful for the opportunities I've had this year and the incredible people who have impacted me along the way. Yes, I know it's just March but there's so much ahead in the future! I'm actually getting closer to finishing my research project, FINALLY! I cannot wait to see article in a medical journal. Just when things were getting slow with research, I had the amazing opportunity of being able to contribute to two other papers! Even though I won't be the first author on these, I still consider them an accomplishment!

Onwards to my outfit! I have fallen in love with the fringe trend! I find myself gravitating towards any fringy garment... whether it's a jacket (as seen HERE) or a top, I'll be in line to purchase it! I especially like this one since the fringe is made from leather and it exposes the abdomen whenever there's a slight breeze! I decided to keep this look casual with my new leather pants from Ralph Lauren. I was surprised that I could squeeze into these size 0 babies! I finished off my look with a necklace my mom gave me for my birthday ages ago and tortoise printed sunglasses I received courtesy of Polette. Hope you guys like this look! Until next time!

Happy Lunar New Year to my fellow Asians! May this year bring you lots of luck and prosperity! I actually started off my year by dissecting a sheep brain in lab... *Baaahhhh* I find anatomy incredibly fascinating so it's always fun to have the chance for some hands-on activities. Anyways, I have so much going on right now that it's been hard for me have regular posts. Filtering through pictures takes the longest time for me - do you guys have the same dilemma? Between research, school, and secret side shenanigans, getting a single moment to just sit back and relax seems so scarce and beautiful! I hope you guys enjoy this Oscar weekend - any bets on who's going to win? Until next time!

Here's a look at one of my casual work outfits. Whenever I'm shopping for pencil skirts, there are two things I look for: style and print. A classic pencil skirt is good but it's even better when there are ruffles, 3D appliqués, or in this case, an asymmetrical hem with faux-leather lining. It's appropriate for any work situation yet it has an interesting and unique appeal to it. I usually don't worry about the fit since numerous garments can be altered to perfectly fit your body... which was the situation for this skirt. To keep my ensemble professional, I paired this skirt with a silver boat neck sweater. After analyzing my outfit, I thought it looked plain so I added an orange leaf necklace - everything is better with a bit of color and personality! Until next time!
