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 particular outfit. I think the pop of color adds a nice contrast, do you? Anyways, Polette sunglasses was created by Pierre Wizman. With only 2000 euros, he soon became a leader of the online optical market and garnered over 2 million euros within a year. Must be wondering how that happened, huh? Not only do they carry prescription lenses and sunglasses in a variety of shapes and colors, the prices are unbeatable. Polette is able to offer extremely low prices since they omitted the middle man. Once an order is placed, Polette contacts the factory to make and ship the item directly to the customer. Though the eyewear is inexpensive, this does not mean it is of poor quality. Make sure to check them out via facebook, instagram and twitter!

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 that it was a bit big on me zipped up since it would be the most interesting jacket I have yet to own! Besides, I needed to add a little caramel color to my closet!

So then came the question, what should I wear with my newly acquired jacket? Skinny jeans or flare jeans? I've always loved FLARE JEANS however, my obsession with them really took off this year! I particularly love flare pants since I can hide my platforms underneath... deceiving others with how tall I actually am! Not only do flares elongate my frame, they also give me a lot of breathing room as opposed to skinny jeans. Did you guys read about the case of the girl who was sent to the hospital because her jeans were so tight it resulted in nerve/muscle damage in her legs? I know, I know, that happens once in a blue moon but I just thought I'd bring it up! Anyways, I finished off my look with a fairly big brown and silver belt along with a silver roman numerals ring necklace! I hope you guys like this casual look! Until next time!

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 the perfect transitional piece for work and a casual day out. The tiny slit on the left hand side allows for more movement. Don't you hate it when you try on dresses you really like only to find out that it prevents you from making any sort of movement?

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 sheath looked too bland for me (possibly good for the office) so I chose a more adventurous route with bold colors. I have a couple of outfit posts that are still in my drafts so I will be posting them of the course of 2021 to the new year! Oh, for those who do not know, I am now on YouTube! You can check out my first video here. I show tips on how I transition my summer clothes to fit cooler temperatures!

Had this been any other year, this purple ensemble would have made it's way into my work wardrobe. However, 2020 is sure going to be one for the books. Even though the entire country has been in a back and forth tug of war of opening and closing, I honestly feel that I've been presented with many great opportunities for professional growth. For those of you who are following me on Instagram, you already know that I was hired on as a Clinical Scientist through an entirely virtual process. It feels strange that I have yet to meet my team in person. Online interviews, whether it's through WebEx, Skype, Zoom or Google Hangouts, has been a peculiar process. I'll expand in another post however, this new work from home lifestyle has given me more time to think about the direction of my blog. Since I'm spending so much more time at home, I will be incorporating more life and interior design snippets in my posts. 

Anyways, I paired this lovely Leifsdottir Swan Pleated Mini Skirt with a purple Sleeveless Ruffled Top that has made an appearance on my blog in the past! It's all about working old pieces to make them look like new, right? I thought these two pieces paired nicely with each other and to add a pop of color, I wore my Red and Hot Pink Suede Ivanka Trump sandals. Until next time!

Cue Nutcracker music! I remember playing this piece and numerous other soundtracks in orchestra... oh, memories. I enjoyed performing each score then (re)watching the movie to pick up all the details *music nerd*! Nevertheless, I came up with this title, SugarPLUM Fairy, because of this adorable cape top! I'm a bit indifferent to purple... I don't own many items in this color scheme but I'm crushing on plum/aubergine. This top has been in my possession for a while yet it's been quite difficult to find a matching bottom. I finally settled with my brown leather pants and I believe it worked out just fine, wouldn't you agree? I finished this outfit off with heels and a necklace following the purple scheme. These pictures were taken way before COVID... definitely need some more inspo for new content! Until next time!

Never in my wildest dreams did I believe the world would be impacted by an invisible yet common enemy that disregards age, gender, race and political affiliations. The economic turmoil, the pain and suffering so many have faced in just a couple of months is inconceivable. This virus stripped the Class of 2020's ability to celebrate our biggest achievement to date - obtaining the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. Whereas previous years were able to say their final goodbyes with this rite of passage, it was, to say the least, very anti-climatic this past weekend. My school has pushed our in-person celebration to later this year but I'm uncertain whether or not this is feasible. I still have yet to take any graduation pictures but I created a graduation mood board!

I will dedicate another post where I speak about my experience on the frontline both in the hospital and community setting so be on the lookout. To all my readers, I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy during these unprecedented times. Please follow guidelines and we'll get through this together. These pictures were taken ages ago when I still lived in Orange County... until next time!

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!
