NEW YEAR, NEW PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE. I hope everyone is enjoying they year and keeping warm - especially those on the East Coast! I feel so fortunate to live in toasty California since the weather is perfect all year round! All of my goals are academic and I am working hard to make them reality. Are you guys able to check off every item on your list? I know the typical resolution revolves around fitness and the desire to reduce your body mass index but I never felt compelled to make that my primary goal. Whatever your goals may be, conquer them with passion and devotion. I know this may sound a bit peculiar but I usually make everything seem like some sort of macabre game. For instance, if I make it my goal to run for 30 minutes and I begin losing my breath at 25 minutes, I start saying to myself, "If you don't complete this, something truly devastating will happen to some one you care for...." Obviously, I do not want anything horrible happening to anyone I love so I utilize every ounce of energy that is left to finish it. You probably think I am insane but it works... for me at least! As for my outfit, I decided to start off the year with a casual outfit post. Unless I am going out with my mom, I am more prone to throw on something comfortable. I have been studying and finding refuge in libraries or classrooms so this is the perfect attire for just that!
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.

ASTONISHED! I have some exciting news I cannot wait to share with you guys! I am not obliged to keep it a secret however, I am choosing to wait until everything is finalized. As for this outfit, I decided to FINALLY wear my Prabal Gurung for Target heels. I scurried to a nearby Target on the release day to get my hands on these babies before they ran out of my size. I honestly forgot about them but as I was searching through some belts and trinkets, I found these still wrapped in the original box! I must say that they're extremely comfortable (hooray!). I do not usually clash prints but I believe that this top works well with my heels, don't you think?
