Banana Republic x invictus

adrienne nguyen Thursday, March 31, 2016
A two part post dedicated to Banana Republic goodness! Spring calls for lightweight, strappy sun dresses in ... cue drum roll ... floral print. Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada said it best: "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking." Flowers are always associated with Spring so it's not exactly news or a trend that disappears. Rather, it's something that signifies the arrival of warmer weather and...

Picking Flowers

adrienne nguyen Saturday, March 26, 2016
Even though it's sunny year round in California, I'm quite glad Spring arrived! Pastels, floral prints... Yes, I know "groundbreaking" but it just tickles me! I cannot wait to get my hands on some key pieces that caught my eye at Zara, Banana Republic, and J. Crew! I will probably make a Spring Essentials post in the near future! Spring gives me a...

Spring time blues in California this week! The weather is making quite an interesting detour and it seems as if some scattered showers will be resonating well into next week. I suppose this may be a good time to get some "Spring Cleaning" in. But for those who are experiencing better weather or plan on going elsewhere, do you guys have any Spring...

Mini MAC

A quick post featuring this very versatile Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Crossbody - courtesy of Snapette. Winter is reaching its denouement and the sun seems to rise earlier each day... making it that much more difficult to find a place to take outfit shots. For those of you who are feeling the heat, I hope you are finding ways to keep cool! Anyone...

Liquid Gold

SUBMERGED IN GOLD. The rain has finally departed Southern California! Though I love listening to rain droplets hit my window pane, it is quite a pain to drive when visibility is low. I can recall a moment when I was driving home from school and nearly died, seriously. I was turning right for the ramp which was situated above the freeway without any...

Heat Exchange with Wolford

I am so glad I kept my winter jackets on hand for the sudden bouts of rain we're experiencing in Orange County! Though I must say once the rain passes by, it starts getting hot... f a s t. It was a bit cold at home so I decided to keep myself warm by piling on layers upon layers of clothes. Oh, how...

Gingham Blues

adrienne nguyen Monday, March 07, 2016
Even though Spring is a little under two weeks away and the drought is still affecting California, flowers are definitely in bloom! I was planning on taking outfit pictures at a nearby building but once I saw this field of flowers, I couldn't resist jumping into it! Yes, I jumped into suspiciously soft mounds of dirt in platforms - I hope I didn't...

Sunburst Adventure

HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN. We were experiencing such ideal weather in Southern California but of course Mother Nature teased us since is going to rain for the rest of the week. In the spirit of beautiful weather, I decided to wear one of my new dresses! I received this very bold orange burst dress courtesy of eShakti (My first collaboration with this brand can...

The Secret Classicist

adrienne nguyen Friday, March 04, 2016
There has been some stagnant rain here and there but the sun is able to quickly find it's way out behind the clouds. The sound of rain drops trickling on the roof or tapping against the window evokes a whirlwind of thoughts. Reminiscing of past times and conjuring up scenarios for the future ends up consuming me. As the grey clouds are dominated...

Leather and Fringe

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,...
