Can you believe it's almost February? I have a bunch of midterms coming up but I'm glad they're spaced out! After Renal Block, I've found myself in much need of rest and naps... I'm guessing all that last minute cramming was a bad idea since I'm still reaping the consequences from last weekend's lack of sleep. All in all, this means that it's time to develop better habits! I'm getting back into yoga and I'm going to get on top of this studying game. I survived Renal by drinking massive amounts of regular green tea however, Jamba Juice's green tea smoothie is a also a great way to revitalize! This outfit was taken before Christmas break and I feel like it's impossible to wear turtlenecks now without sweating to death! Winter in California is still quite warm compared to the rest of the nation but we still manage to layer up just like East Coasters!

My goal is to upload a pharmacy post at least once a month... I have a few ideas but I'd love to know what topics you would like me to expand on and possibly provide clarity or insight! I added a suggestions widget on the right sidebar of my blog so you guys can leave me a note with ease! Until next time!

Hey guys! I enjoyed a much needed week-long Spring Break! I was astonished at how little I used my laptop over my tiny vacation from school... though I was on Instagram a lot! For those of you who follow along, @adriennenguyenn, you saw all my adventures through IG stories. I spent the beginning half of my break in La Jolla / San Diego at the Pfizer Research and Development West Coast Division! After I complete my Pharm.D., I plan on extending my knowledge in industry - more on that soon! I went back to Orange County and spent the bulk of my break there... mostly running errands like taxes and such. What surprised me was the amount of security at Downtown Disney - there were checkpoints at every entrance so there was no way to avoid it! Another bummer? No more fireworks! I was able to hear fireworks every single night when I still lived in Orange County so I was very disheartened when I found out they discontinued it!

I always get nostalgic every time I'm back "home" but it's now back to the grind. I do plan on putting up more pharmacy related posts so be on the lookout! Anyways, I recently acquired this reversible oversized houndstooth scarf from Zara and it's such a versatile piece! Not only does it function as a scarf top, you can use it as a throw/blanket. I layered this over a black ribbed turtleneck for added warmth and boot cut Tahari pants to elongate my figure. To keep this scarf from flying off, I secured it with a brown leather belt! I finished off my outfit with a felt fedora that I found hard to keep on my head. I typically pin my hats down but it was a particularly windy day so pins did not suffice. I ended up holding my hat a majority of the time but it's all good! Hope you guys like this post! Until next time!

 On those warm California days in January, I like breaking out of my sweater and pants or skirt routine for a lightweight dress. Though nightfall quickly brings in a brisk chill, the sunny weather demands skin baring attire. This Maison Jules midi dress clashes flowers, stripes and polka dots in the utmost appealing manner. If you look closely, you'll be able to see pleats on the bottom half of the dress - it does inhibit the whole "dress blowing in the wind" vibe but it's a great lunch date look! I finished off this outfit with wedged sandals which gives me height while keeping my feet comfortable! To transition this look into night, toss on a sweater and enhance your waist by cinching it with a belt! Until next time!

When all else fails and you feel like you've got nothing to wear - an all black outfit never fails! I wore this over the break while I did my Christmas shopping and I got some interesting stares... especially when I ventured into areas where the general population was much more elderly than your typical college community. What's the point of going out if you can't express yourself and be a little extra, right? I've been looking through my blog and Instagram feed only to notice that I wear a lot of "collared" pieces of late. Maybe it's because of the profession I'm pursuing requires a more refined and polished look or possibly because it goes well with everything. Nevertheless, I'm sure you'll see more outfits with collars on my feed and blog!

To all my pharmacy readers, I'll be blogging about my experience as an interviewer at UCSD in the very near future so be on the lookout! This week has been a beast but the rest of the quarter won't be a walk in the park either. Have suggestions for topics or anything else? Let me know via email or comments! Until next time!

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a relaxing winter break! Unfortunately, mine was only two weeks and I'm now well into my second week of school! If you've had the chance to venture out and click the buttons in my navigation bar... specifically the "about me" section, you'll learn that I started blogging as an outlet during undergrad as a way to escape. It can get tedious and sometimes downright depressing finding out how many lectures I'm behind or how many podcasts I have to listen to. To pull myself out of my studying rut, I hop onto the piano, pull out the good ole violin or dress up, take pictures and blog! Sure, I venture out to enjoy other things in life and have lots of extracurriculars to consume my time but these are just some of the simple pleasures I can enjoy on an immediate basis.

My first post in the new year typically consists a list of my New Years Resolutions. This year round, my only desire is to travel more and possibly grow my blog (be on the lookout for more outfit and pharmacy school posts). I know it will be quite difficult since I'll be balancing work (both pharmacy and my own business) and school but this blog, whatever it may be, has kept me sane throughout college and Pharmacy School. So here's to a wonderful year filled with new opportunities for personal growth and experiences that will forever be engraved into your heart. Cheers!

I got this cute cropped ruffled jacket from Topshop sometime this past Fall and it's become one of the greatest additions to my closet! Granted, I did forget about it for two months but once I rediscovered it, I couldn't wait until I had the chance throw it on! I think this is great for so many different occasions from work to a night out or even to school! I paired this cropped jacket with a sheer ivory top and houndstooth crop top! Until next time!
