Taking full advantage of the cloudy overcast in California even though I still have a nasty cough! Although it may be cloudy, it is still quite hot...Anyways, I received this hot pink midi skirt courtesy of Vault Lifestyle. When I first tried on this skirt, I wanted to make my outfit "stand out" from the norm. The typical black or white top was out of the question for me so it was now a task of how I could make this unique. After some contemplation, I decided to play around with my scarves - I have a ton of scarves that are just occupying space in my drawers. To my luck, this was the first scarf I pulled out. I created a makeshift head scarf however, my mom suggested that I turn this silk floral scarf into a top. So with a simple twist, voila! This skirt is great for casual outings and is extremely stretchy! To purchase or learn more about the company, visit Vault Lifestyle HERE.

I don't typically wear graphic tees so this happens to be one of those rare occasions. The only time I do sport something similar is when I'm terribly cold and studying within the confines of my room. Hello, big fluffy sweaters with my Alma Mater's name scrawled all over! But cupcakes and caffeine? I'll make an exception and expose this top to the world! I paired this with my new favorite jeans from PAIGE. I own numerous flare jeans / bell bottoms yet none seem to hug my thighs like these. I think it gives my legs more shape... Besides, it makes my booty pop! Now, who doesn't want that? I am quite petite in frame so I try to buy bottoms that have the ability to elongate my frame. 

It's been a pretty busy week since I just started making use of my intern license - I decided to start working this summer to gain some experience. For those that have been following my blog, I entered pharmacy school without any ounce of exposure into the field. I was heavy on research and I still am. I've never had such a jammed packed academically focused summer... ever! Even though I'm doing research at both UCI and UCSD while working, I'm not as stressed as when I'm in school. The feeling of being able to leave my work behind me at the end of the day is relieving. Sure, I continue my research at home but I'm not staying up late to cram in last minute material for an exam.

I suppose it's all about my outlook on things. The notion that I will not be tested on anything at the end is comforting. It's all about facts and being about to fully execute all my tasks with precision. But enough about my life, here's a bohemian inspired outfit I recently wore on an absurdly humid day in San Diego. I got this Forever 21 maxi dress not too long ago and I styled it my own personal way. I love, love, love sleeveless duster coats so when I realized how versatile this dress could be, I quickly snatched it up! I went out to lunch with my mom after we snapped these pictures and it was so good to feel the crisp cool air from the AC after suffering in the sun. Hope you guys like this post! Until next time!

Happy Fourth of July, everyone! I hope y'all have a fun day with friends and family! Things can get pretty crazy so take extra precautions! This will be my first Independence Day in San Diego and I'm currently researching the best place to view fireworks! Traffic in SD is horrendous... I can only imagine how much worse it'll be later this evening! Anyways, I spent yesterday back at my old stomping grounds - UCI Medical Center...well, my old cubicle in the City Tower! I can't believe my spot is still the same even after one year - my name tag and paper cranes are still there though they were all covered in dust! I'm continuing to do research this summer for UCI and these upcoming weeks will be especially hectic. I'll be juggling research for UCSD and UCI as well as doing actual pharmacy related work and getting some of my IPPE hours down.
