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!

A casual outfit fit for the first day of school. Yes, I have worn outfits as such to school before - heels included! This lace, peter-pan collar top is a modest option that I find acceptable at any day occasion. Although the peplum adds a sense of shape at the waist, I wanted to accentuate my curves with this Betsey Johnson belt. Instead of pairing this top with basic white, black or bold colors, I chose to stick to neutral toned shorts, with a hint of black, from Forever 21. To finish off my look, I chose to wear nude heels to elongate my figure... which also reminds me that I really need to invest in some nude shoes since the BCBG Max Azria ones, pictured here, are a bit frazzled. 

Can you believe it actually rained in California this weekend? I'm what you would call a pluviophile. I actually just learned that word through a tumblr post which means a lover of rain - someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days. Even though we experienced some summer rain, it was still incredibly humid. Now onwards to my outfit. I received these floral shorts a few weeks ago. I tried numerous tops but none seemed aesthetically pleasing. White seemed to offset the shorts in an odd way, red seemed boring, green made me look like I walked right out of Christmas, and my striped shirts, juxtaposed to the floral shorts, made me dizzy. So I pulled out this Anne Klein halter top from my "to-donate" pile and cropped it to give it some edge. With the whole crop trend this season, why not take advantage of it? I decided to accessorize with a little gold infinity necklace courtesy of 9th and Elm. This website is unique since it features handmade and independent designs from numerous designers.
