Can you believe summer is over? The sun has been setting much earlier and mornings are gloomy - just the way I like it! Gloomy days conjure up wishful desires of rainy days in Paris, London or New York. For the past few days, many of the interior accounts I am following on Instagram posted bedroom pictures with large windows overlooking a very gloomy Manhattan. Now doesn't that just sound nice? Spending a cozy day indoors with your favorite book and a cup of coffee while looking over the concrete jungle... someday, maybe! But enough daydreaming! I finally wore these distressed skinny white jeans to go grocery shopping. White pants tend to look unflattering on me so I usually avoid them however, I had to have these! They're versatile and they can easily transition from summer into fall. Also, jeans never fit me perfectly in length so I always cuff them. Most of the time I roll them in but I decided to expose my cuff for these jeans. One thing to note, for petite girls like me, over-cuffing can make you appear shorter than we actually are! So cuff wisely! To give the impression of longer legs, I paired this outfit with Realove heels from Steve Madden. Anyways, I cannot wait until Fall comes in full swing! I have lots of past season runway outfits I cannot wait to re-create! Until next time!
With most summer events cancelled this year, I thought I'd repost this oldie but goodie outfit. As you might be able to see, this dress came with detachable straps. I bent down to sit on the ledge and one of the straps popped! The dress ended up looking better strapless so it all worked out for the best! I do hope you and all your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during this unprecedented time. Remember to keep updated with all my pharmacy related posts by checking out the Pharmacy Tab above! Until next time!
Though it's been raining on and off in Southern California, it is still warm enough to wear skirts without pantyhose! I took advantage of the weather by wearing one of my most coveted items in my closet - my Dolce & Gabbana Tweed Floral Pencil Skirt. I fell in love with this piece the moment I laid my eyes on it. Better yet? If it were summer, I would pair this skirt with a dainty yet sophisticated silk strappy top. However, this chilly Southern California Spring calls for a sweater so I wore my green, beaded ladybug Tory Burch sweater.
I wore this outfit to the mall with my mother and that calls for comfortable shoes (we typically spend hours in stores). Therefore, I broke into my new gold heeled flat D'Orsays from Sam Edelman. It's the cutest pair of low block heels I own! I finished off my look with a tote from Reed Krakoff. This outfit also works well for the office and business meetings. I couldn't find these exact items so I linked similar pieces below. Oh, this outfit was taken a VERY long time ago in Newport Beach, California pre-COVID-19. Stay safe and stay home - until next time 💖

My style has been quite bland lately so I decided to spice it up by reverting back to my old ways of mixing prints! As contradicting as that may sound, I miss creating outfits and wearing things in a way other people wouldn't. If you have been reading my posts, you may remember an article I wrote stating that I would start a tips section on my blog. I enjoyed reinventing runway looks in high school with things I had in my closet - some looked very similar while others followed the same color scheme or theme.
Now onward to my outfit! I finally found heels to replace my old BCBG Max Azria's. It usually takes me a while to break into new shoes but these are surprisingly comfortable - I hope I didn't jinx myself! But I am a fan for nude, beige, or tan heels since they make me appear taller than I actually am! Though these brown heels don't fit that criteria, they're mighty comfy. Fashion and comfort working together? Who knew that was possible! Anyways, I actually wanted to pair this Lovers and Friends floral top with the yellow skirt featured in one of my most recent posts but it looked quite plain so I opted for these houndstooth shorts from Forever 21. Until next time!
Onward to the good stuff... this post marks the first time I ever used hair extensions. I typically spend more time on my hair than my makeup each morning - anyone with me? Every day seems to be some sort of bad hair day for me... my hair typically inverts and dances to it's own beat. If I'm fortunate to find a style that suits me, it doesn't exactly matter by the end of the day since my hair tends to flatten out. I'm the person who has to spray half a bottle of hair spray, tease my hair until it looks like a bird's nest, and use tons of mousse to keep my hair in tact.
So what's my hair really like? I have thick hair but it's also very fine. I never thought about using extensions as an alternative to teasing my hair for that voluminous effect. It was only until Irresistible Me that I saw the wonders of extensions. If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you can see that my hair is voluminous in most posts - I can say with certainty that it took a lot of hair spray and teasing to achieve those looks. Now in this post, I didn't use ANY hair spray! I just clipped the pieces onto my head and was surprised at the volume of my hair! Yes, I still had to tease a few parts here and there but it managed to stay in tact!
The package comes with 10 pieces - 1 large and very thick piece, 2 medium pieces, 5 small pieces, and 2 additional clip-ons. I was surprised at how accurate the color was to my natural hair color! I have this unusual virgin hair color - it appears dark brown without any direct light however, my hair seems like it has highlights and turns medium brown under the sun.The clips are extremely reliable and stay in place - just make sure you actually clip it into your hair!
If your hair color resemble my natural color, then you should definitely get the Chocolate Brown extensions - I chose the 200 grams since I love having that voluminous effect! Check out Irresistible Me, HERE.
Long weekends are always the best! Even though I don't get much studying done, I do catch up on much needed sleep! Besides getting some extra ZZZ's, I did A LOT of shopping! I was glad to get a break from my packed schedule this quarter! I had free clinic for the first time last week and I found it rather fun. I heard mixed reviews from my classmates but my experience alongside a medical student was pleasant. The clinic I attended is located in Pacific Beach and there is quite a large turnout. From past experiences to now, I found it's only when you're immersed in the medical field that you understand how much knowledge you've acquired from school/life. Furthermore, you get to see firsthand how convenient it is to know Spanish. Thankfully, I'm taking it this quarter!
This particular outfit was taken when I first started pharmacy school... when it was still warm and I had time to actually dress up! What sucks is having to go to school early to get parking and beat traffic! Anyways, this cute cold shoulder ruffle tier dress from ZARA is one the of cutest ready to wear pieces I have in my closet! I love the subtle design and pop of color! This dress didn't restrict any arm movements and I actually wore this under my white coat! I can't wait to whirl around in this again!
I decided that I will make separate posts for pharmacy related topics. I will dabble here and there about life as a pharmacy student within my outfit posts but I will reserve pharmacy shenanigans to their own posts. I plan on making a separate "PHARMACY" category in the navigation bar above for easier access so be on the lookout! Until next time!
EDITED my photos, finally. The only thing I usually do is resize and highlight or remove shadows however, I decided to actually play around with this set of photos. I think these look much better than the originals which were quite bright since the sun was shining directly above me. I'm starting to take fewer photos since it's such a pain to filter through all of them. My mom used to take 600-700 photos per outfit in about 30 minutes! That was, obviously, too much so it's around 200 photos now, whew! Furthermore, I will make an effort to always keep my camera on me so I can document all the little things I do on a daily basis. I believe a quality fashion blog should not only incorporate outfit pictures but also snippets of activities or sights that occurred that particular day.
July is quickly drawing to an end and I am excited to be a full time student, again! I know it's an odd sentiment with all the impending sleepless nights I will most likely endure however, I am looking forward to being, as my mentor recently said, intellectually stimulated. I signed up for classes last week and my first quarter already seems insane - I've never taken this many intense courses during a single quarter as an undergrad.
Though I will be focused on school and maintaining good grades, I will still take time to enjoy myself and maintain my blog! If you've read any of my pharmacy related posts, you must know that the theme or rather focus of my blog will shift more into academics (documenting things that I learn or sharing my experience as a student on a week to week basis).
Anyways, this is an outfit I would wear to school! The jeans make this look casual but I couldn't resist layering, even in this heat, to add more depth to my outfit! I recently scored this floral crop top and sheer pleated top at a local fashion store for such a steal - I had to wear them together immediately! This Reed Krakoff Boxer Tote is also great for throwing in school shenanigans since it's extremely sturdy. I hope you guys like this post! Until next time!

The quiet crackle of fire amongst the charcoal, the angry hissing that presumes as raw meat touches the surface of the grill, the intense scent of BBQ filling the air, the sound of laughter, the extended weekend, the sight of American flags at every corner? Sounds like it's Memorial Day weekend - a celebration to all of those who have fallen while serving in the United States Armed Forces. I can recall visiting Arlington National Cemetery with some of my friends in eighth grade through a touring program (Awesome program since we saw all the landmarks in Washington D.C. and visited Colonial Williamsburg). It was a somber occasion where we were able to witness the laying of the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Though I have no ties to anyone who has served or fallen, I could feel all the grief around me. I would love to visit this place again someday.
To start off this weekend, I decided to wear this very simple shift dress from Fashion Union. I am a pastel aficionado so this mint dress is just what my Spring wardrobe needed. I wanted to avoid looking like the Easter bunny coughed me up so I decided to go with a neutral Reed Krakoff tote along with pink and purple snakeskin sandals from Diane von Fustenberg. Hope you guys have a safe and happy weekend!
