PIOLdress.com is a revolutionary website by which any woman can design the perfect, go-to dress - in color, style and fit - that completely suits her body. Using advanced make-to-measure technology, hundreds of beautiful fabric, and an intelligent system of design, PIOL offers customization at its highest level. Inspired by Edith Head, famed costume designer during Hollywood's Golden Age, the PIOL Dress system is three-fold:
First is COLOR, Depending on the color of your hair, eyes and skin, there are certain colors that make you "pop." PIOL offers a variety of fabrics from Italy, France and Japan in colors and prints that are designed specifically to highlight your individual color. If you have dark colored hair, you may have noticed that the color scheme they offer you consists of many earth tones. Though these hues work with my physical features, I wanted a pastel color for summer. So I played around with the hair and eyes options to find the pink featured in these pictures.
Next is STYLE. PIOL has five different sihouettes - each with its own selection of neckline, skirt and sleeve length. You can easily find the perfect cut that will show off what you like most and camouflage the rest. I have been in search for a good funnel neck dress and this was my opportunity to finally create the perfect shift dress. I am petite in size so I chose the shortest possible skirt size and I opted for a sleeveless dress.
Third is FIT. Most women are not perfectly proportional from top to bottom nor do they fit into the standard sizing of a typical dress. Using your body measurements, PIOL will custom make a dress that is guaranteed to fit you better than anything you can find off the rack. After choosing your color, neckline, skirt style and sleeve length, PIOL will prompt you to select your height, bust, hip, and waist measurements.
PIOL's unique understanding of color, style and fit allows you to create a dress that cannot be found anywhere else. Hand sewn in NYC, the dress will arrive in 3-4 weeks with the ability of a full refund for the price of the dress. I absolutely love the style and color of this dress - I believe it embodies Jackie O's simple yet extremely sophisticated sense of style. Check out PIOL's website HERE.
I completely forgot to post this! Life was a bit hectic during school and for those following my blog, you saw how scarce my posts were. Not going to lie, spring quarter was a beast... it certainly kept me occupied days and nights. Anyways, I bought a bunch of items from Victoria Beckham for Target collaboration the first day it came out! The Target near my home still had a good quantity of items in stock though my size was pretty much gone. Those following my Instagram Stories saw that I actually bought a girls XL dress (not the one pictured in this post but the scallop one) because adult sizes were gone! I've since worn this dress twice, once briefly for Easter brunch and the second time was my first day of summer research! It was a humid day and I drove from one hospital to another - turns out I'll be dividing my time between 2 of the 3 Palomar Hospitals in San Diego! It's going to be one busy summer! To all my readers, pharmacy candidates and fashion aficionados, what would you guys like to see more of? I want to experiment this summer while I still have free time!
The first thing I did after finals was take a long nap but the day after? I went to the Museum of Ice Cream with Jonathan!!! Insert all the smiley face emojis! Jonathan was able to get tickets the day right after my finals - which happened to be the day after his birthday and a few days after our 10 year anniversary! We ventured from San Diego to Los Angeles to make our 6:30PM slot and we were surprised at how many people were also there. We entered as a group of 10 but we lost our group within the first five minutes since we stayed back to take pictures! I'm so glad I was able to visit this museum and it really did live up to the hype! Unfortunately, we were unable to take close up pictures with the ice cream figurines or even touch them since they were damaged by earlier museum patrons. I hope you guys enjoy this post! All pictures were from my iPhone 6! To see more images, follow me on Instagram, Twitter and VSCO.
For this outfit, I channeled a darker side of my inner Southern Belle. I already miss seeing Lemon Breeland's fruity ensembles - she was meticulous about her appearance and she could do no wrong! But, I digress. I recently added this incredible crochet midi skirt to my collection and I can already see it as a great seasonal piece. Instead of pairing this with your typical black top and either tucking it in or leaving it out, I decided to crop it. Why? Showing a sliver of my abdomen warranted a more summery look as opposed to a regular top. To transition this skirt into fall, I would toss on a cape or an over the shoulder coat. Want to make this look a little more rebellious? Why not try a motorcycle jacket? Until next time!
With Summer creeping up on us, I wanted to share some things I would pack for my summer get away. I subdivided these into different categories to make it easier for you guys to see the I attire I would wear to these specific regions. First up, the beach - obviously! Though I am a native Californian, I haven't frequented the beach as much as some tourists to Southern California, yikes! However, I have basked on the beach numerous times this year and I cannot wait until the weather heats up so I can finally wear a bikini. One tropical destination I would love to visit is Maldives. I believe this bright floral bikini, from Dolce and Gabbana, along with some neutral accessories from Eugenia Kim, Gucci, Casadei and Tory Burch, would be perfect amongst the clear blue skies.
Hey guys! I'm finally back! I just took my last final and I'm officially done with my first year of pharmacy school! I was planning on adding videos I shot while at school however, the quality wasn't up to my standards so I'll be sharing my thoughts with words and a few pictures.
For those who haven't been following my blog, I am a first year student pharmacist at UCSD Skagg's School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. I was debating on how to go about documenting what an average week (during my last quarter of my P1 year) looks like; it was difficult since each day and week varies. Not to mention that my life for the past month revolved around studying for exams, working on projects, presenting said projects and participating in extracurriculars. Anyways, for the remainder of this post, I will condense everything that occurred this past month to give you guys better insight to my academic life.
Hey guys! Jonathan and I went to watch the Pacific Symphony perform Carl Orff's Carmina Burana as part of their Classical Series. I bet many of you know this EPIC piece by ear but not by name - try Youtubing it! Instead of watching their performance indoors, we opted for the outdoor viewing. It was nice to experience orchestral music in a different environment but it was terribly cold! I love listening to classical music and Jonathan just loves being with me so he endures it just for me... Awwww! Today just happens to be his birthday! May all your birthday wishes come true! I wish we had more pictures together so I could post them here. We always try to take pictures when we're out together but they just turn out looking really weird, haha!
Anyways, here is an unpublished post of our visit to Paramount Ranch. It took us a while to get there with all the Los Angeles traffic - Californian's, you know what I mean, haha! Once we finally arrived at our destination, we saw a number of cars and trailers scattered around the parking lot. I was already grumpy since my gluteus maximus was going numb and now this tiny area had a lot of people? Great! Well, we walked inside and guess what? They were filming a Western movie! Witnessing the director call "action" and "cut" was interesting but the fact that we had to be quiet was irritating. We chose the wrong day to go however, we managed to sneak in some pictures as the set moved around the ranch!
