Hey everyone! I received these round, orange sunglasses from Polette last year and I finally had the chance to wear them! I found that it went well with many of my summer and spring attire however, it was next to impossible to try to pull those outfits off during this time of year. So I decided to incorporate these bad boys with this...

It has been been pretty cool in Southern California... don't let this outfit post fool you! I got this fringed zipper jacket from Nordstrom a few months ago and I've been dying to wear it! So the occasion and weather presented itself a few days ago when I went out to lunch with Jonathan. This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite pieces!...

It's finally getting cooler - well, at least the mornings are! Gloomy mornings are definitely my weak spot... it has a seductive je ne sais quoi. This summer was all about crop tops however, I found myself gravitating towards loose button downs and flowy sweaters paired with distressed denim. But for some odd reason, I decided to pull out this houndstooth crop top...

What's an essential outerwear item for both gals and guys? A MOTORCYCLE JACKET , of course! As I was leaving Nordstrom Rack, I noticed very peculiar shoe-lace strings upon the sleeves of what I thought was a seemingly ordinary jacket. As I tugged and pulled, I finally managed to free this alluring piece to discover a zipper motorcycle jacket! I didn't mind the fact...

A boxy suede dress is typically a foe for summer yet I still decided to put it on. (Un)Fortunately, this gloomy Southern California day brought rain (YAY for being able to survive in this dress but BOO since it (kind of?) damaged my dress and d'Orsay's!). I found this Kate Moss for TOPSHOP suede dress as I was rummaging through my clothes! It's...

Nothing like a good silk tie ascot scarf! Small scarves are the perfect accessory to any outfit - around your neck like a scarf, around your wrist like a bangle, on your head like a headscarf or on your bag. Although I love wearing a good small scarf around my neck, I often find myself looking like a stewardess. But this time, I was...

Hi everyone! It's been a while but I wanted to shared a hidden gem that's been collecting a bit of dust in my closet - my Tory Burch polka dot coat! I wanted to create a sophisticated yet fun look so I paired this with a shirt dress I got from Nordstrom while I still in college. Pairing this coat with a white...

2020 has been an insane ride but it's about to become absolutely WILD for any of you participating in PPS at ASHP Midyear 2021. I'm not sure how applicable this post is for upcoming candidates but I do hope this sheds some light on how hectic the experience was for me... and could still be for you 😜Maybe things will change post-pandemic? One thing's...

Hello all! I'm back with my pharmacy related posts. I decided to shift the focus of my blog to pharmacy/academia with the purpose of informing rather than sharing my weekly outfits. But do not fret, my style and fashion will continue to shine here and my instagram. Check out my personal @adriennenguyenn and pharmacy @rx_adriennenguyen accounts. Using this space to speak about my journey...

The Fairmont San Francisco Part 2! I thought I took more pictures of my hotel room but these are the only ones I snapped. If I'm being honest, I spent more time enjoying the sights SF had to offer and living in the moment than documenting every single second. Distancing myself from social media and my phone really allows me to indulge in...

The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco is unlike any other. For those who have not seen or heard of the hotel, it's definitely one to visit. This hotel has been featured in multiple films and is a gem in the heart of San Francisco. The rooms and views are also exquisite though I must admit, my first room was absurd in the most ridiculous...

San Francisco Part 3! This is the relaxed and casual outfit I wore to explore The Golden Gate Bridge. Unfortunately, Karl decided to hang around. It took some sleuthing on my part to find out that the fog was named Karl. It started in 2010 and wasn't coined by a celebrity but rather by an anonymous Twitter account! During my time in The City, I...

Were you a fan of Full House? I remember watching it as a kid and in all the times I've been in San Francisco, this was the first instance I've been in front of these Victorian and Edwardian homes! It was extremely crowded but everyone is very civilized and there's enough room to take pictures without anyone else photobombing your shot! I stopped...

For trips I take out of Southern California, I don't typically bring along my DSLR. It's a bit too chunky and I believe iPhone pictures are sufficient in capturing the moment. I took a mini vacation in San Francisco prior to the pandemic/rotations and have yet to share any of my pictures! My mom and I walked up and down Lombard Street... we...

 This is Winter in Southern California! Yes, I know it's Spring but I have yet to share this outfit (way behind on posts 😐). What social media platform do you frequent daily? I'm a loyal Instagram user and longtime blogger but I think it's time to branch out and try new things... maybe even expand my reach. I've been hesitant about starting a...

A closet staple? Tweed. It pairs well with everything for practically any situation. Another reason why tweed is such a versatile and essential fabric you need? It adds a bit of sophistication and class. When I think of tweed, the first brand that comes to mind is Chanel. What about you? This tweed jacket could pair just as well with a dress or...

The sweater vest blew up this year! Sure, it may be an oversized, roomy sister to the ones I own... but still! It finally has the opportunity to shine! I decided to channel my inner preppy persona for this look. I knew I wanted to work around this geometric blue and yellow sweater vest so I built my outfit with this as an...

One of my favorite outfit pairings are things that juxtapose each other. Take for instance, this motorcycle jacket. It is a utilitarian piece that was given a softer touch in a sky blue color yet it still possesses that strong, tough grit with silver hardware dispersed over the jacket. Now throw this firm jacket onto an asymmetrical cotton sweater dress that sways with...

I still have yet to take graduation pics even though I officially finished being a student May 2020. I've been location scouting and Balboa Park is the perfect default. However, the amount of people there was just insane! I would have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning to avoid the massive crowds but that may be something I have...

I discovered the name of this aesthetic during pharmacy school as I was scrolling through Tumblr. There are still so many I want to try out and so many to discover but here's my take Dark Academia. Not familiar with the aesthetic? Dark academia features articles of clothing you would typically see in Ivy League or prep schools. Imagine Gossip Girl in the UK...

I withdrew from my fellowship in San Francisco so I'm in no place to say this however, I do miss and crave The City life. SF exudes a completely different vibe compared to San Diego and it's not as fast-paced as NYC but there's just something about it that draws you in. I spent my summer in SF right before APPE rotations and...

The fact that so many Americans are getting the COVID-19 vaccine means that we may be able to establish herd immunity and travel "safely" before 2021 is out! I have so many places on my bucket list but the first vacation I'm taking post-pandemic MUST BE EPIC. Have you booked your next trip yet? Anyways, we've been experiencing some odd weather changes since...

Gossip Girl was a worldwide phenomenon when I was in high school and college. Everyone was trying to imitate the breathtaking outfits from the show. Blair Waldorf's impeccable and classic style was envied. Serena van der Woodsen's effortless casual cool outfits were replicated by many. Jenny Humphrey's post-Blair reign at Constance was a go-to for college girls. I rewatched GG not too long...

My version of uptown grunge featuring one of my favorite prints - camouflage. I have such a high affinity for this shades of green and brown color combination! Whenever I want to play up a plain old black outfit, I try to either pop in a bold color for a strike contrast or add a print. I wore this to do some shopping...

Cue the moody music... we finally got a day of rain in SoCal and there may be some more coming our way this week! I may have been a bit indifferent to rainy days in the past but that has all changed since I'm working from home. Hearing the rain crash into my window, the occasional spark of light, the thunder pounding in...

My typical college uniform. Any time it was chilly, I opted for a sweater, shorts, and boots combination. I still find myself wearing a variation of this ensemble post-graduation and I do not see myself changing styles in the near future! The sweater keeps me warm while the shorts add an edgier touch to my look. Maybe it's just me but I often...

My go to look when I have to go outside (for anything now 😬#COVIDStyle) is something casual with a hint of street to produce that urban vibe. I love how roomy this dress is and it honestly works well alone but since it was a tad bit chilly, I decided to spice it up with layers and depth. These Leather Michael Kors Combat...

I bought this blue turtleneck with the intention of layering it under jackets for Winter however, since it's still pretty warm, I decided to spin this another way. I popped this on top of my sheer button down collar shirt and added a statement belt to give this look some more personality. This sweater vest is asymmetrical with the back being longer than...

It was a pretty cold morning and I caught a case of the sniffles right as these pictures were being taken... Between my sneezing fits, I managed to be still for a few seconds to capture some shots of my outfit! Featured here is my brown boxy jacket that I pulled out from the bottom of my armoire! I keep finding lost clothing...

Do you ever find yourself pondering about what life would be like if you lived in a parallel universe or could travel back in time? Maybe it's because I've watched The Sound of Music way too many times but I would love to run through an open field of grass, feel the wind through my hair and just be with myself and my...

A complete 180 with the weather this week! I believe it's time to bid farewell to warm temperatures in SoCal. Hello, rain and gloom ☔Since I'm still working from home, I am pretty excited for the rain! * Cue moody music and endless gazes out my window * I will now transition to posting more Winter appropriate attire starting with this look featuring...

I must admit that I own a tremendous amount of clothes however, the one type of outerwear I do not have a lot of are long cardigans. These pictures don't do this cardigan justice since there's a shimmer to it in real-life. I created a casual look similar to outfits I wore any time I went out in 2020. I can definitely see...

I didn't think I would end up back at UCSD after graduation but here I am. Since in-person learning is on hold indefinitely, I decided to take advantage of a rarely empty space. I used to venture into this area on my way to campus to snap some pictures or to avoid everyone getting on/off buses. It's rarely crowded here though I did...

I cannot believe how warm it still is in California! Different regions of the US are experiencing a drastic drop in temperature while it's still a cool 70 degrees here. I typically prefer layering up but I must say that I'm embracing the sunshine! I'll be posting a ton of summer/spring like posts while it's still warm out - see more on my...
