It's always nice to have a sweater on hand for those cool summer nights. I don't know if my fellow Californians can attest to this but I believe the weather is a bit unusual. There is an extreme dichotomy between the scorching heat of the day and the chilly breezes of the evening. Who am I to complain though... I'm thankful I can feel nice and toasty all year round. On a peculiarly cool day, I opted for my over-sized boxy hot pink sweater. My look wouldn't be complete without some clashing of prints so I paired this top with my favorite polka dot shorts with my TED BAKER floral clutch. I hope you're all staying safe and healthy! Remember to practice social distancing! Until next time!

Want to give your belle or beau a unique gift? Well, JORD watches has a wide variety of women's watches, as well as men's,  in their unique wood watch design! I fell in love with this turquoise and zebrawood watch the moment I saw it - this skeleton watch is part of the CORA Series. So why this watch? What attracts me to it?

This watch features Swarovski crystal markers along with sapphire crystal glass. But that's not what gets me all fired up! Nope, it's the ability to see the heart and soul of mechanical watchmaking. This is a semi-skeleton watch that showcases a bit of the mechanics on the face of the watch however, if you reverse the watch to the opposite face, you get to see all the essential elements that goes into making this zebrawood watch. The gears and wheels in action... Oh my, I'm easily amused!

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!

SUBCONSCIOUS BELIEF that I should begin telling my story through text and photographs on my blog. I was once accustomed to documenting every miniscule detail of my life in countless journals until I began college. Though I had many reasons that led to the termination of jotting my daily thoughts onto paper, I suddenly feel the urge to write again...When I began pursuing undergraduate courses, I lost sight of myself. I entered believing that I had to omit certain passions to do well, to push aside previous hobbies to make room for medically related activities, to commit every single day to the "art" of studying and burying myself in textbooks. But I was wrong. Enjoying yourself and your time is a crucial component toward succeeding in life. Before I even had the notion of what personal style or fashion blogging was, I was genuinely engrossed by the craft of photography. My amateur photographs rendered me some devoted fans on my deviantart account and I looked forward to each day since it was an occasion for me to experiment. However, my affection for photography seemed to vanish within the summer.  

I will be reigniting my previous passions this coming year. Why? I need to enjoy life to not lose focus on my goals. Although I will devote a tremendous amount of time toward my studies, I also need to do things I enjoy. Expect more rambles such as this and be on the lookout for my photography in posts to come.

Smells like TEAM spirit! It's time to feast on unhealthy appetizers and gather round the television to watch the S U P E R B O W L !! Who are you guys rooting for? I'm hoping this years game is better than the debacle of 2014... We practically knew who was going to win after the first play! Anyways, a football viewing party calls for lots of food and this is a typical outfit I usually wear to the market. To give this otherwise simple outfit a kick, I added my Steve Madden Work Boot Mules which I believe complimented my outfit very well. Hope you guys keep safe this weekend! Until next time!
