Christmas in November

The last hurrah in my home away from home and before we know it it will be twenty-fifteen

As per university traditions go, celebrating every single excuse of a holiday for at least a week, at least a week in advance (in this case a month) is something that will hit me faster than I will realize once "real life" begins.

This time, the start of finals also means the end of November- one step closer to Santa & his elves; just take a look at her expression of sheer excitement:



yeah, we're really festive!









-and of course, the mandatory Selfie

Happy Finals !!!!!

How We're Dressed

…for Fall
[October 24, 2013]

These photos are about a month and a half old, but it really feels like there shouldn't be snow on the ground yet, so I think these photos are a good representation of how the weather should be right now.

But actually, I love snow!!! sans ice. and I cannot wait till winter and christmas and having two months off before I move to another continent for four months!







Zara cape coat, American Apparel skirt, Parent's denim shirt, Roots knapsack




For some reason I cannot stop raving over this photo...

Craziness. Pretty much feel like I'll be starting a brand new life.

Patterned

How I'm dressed

Uniqlo pants, Brandy&Melville crop top, Zara wedges

I am so excited to go to Asia in four months just so I can go to uniqlo and buy more of these pants...





I am also the dark-hued vampire beside my always cheerful housemate:


buuuuuuuttttt, that's why we're housemates

One month ago:
I could still use teenager as a valid excuse
and the concept of real life was foreign to me (but it still is)

I don't look, act, or feel twenty (in my opinion) but I expect my 20s to be the best and worst times of my life, kind of how being 19 was, except amplified

...I realize this blog is becoming more like a personal blog as opposed to a style blog... I need less quarter life revelations and more inspiration

Lesson learned that night: Buy tickets in advance

No matter how lazy you are, or what anyone says- just do it. Nothing bad ever came out of preparedness, anyway.

Not being one to usually watch dramatic asian dramas with girl-meets-boy storylines, something about this trailer made me watch this movie. It's sad yet appealing, flirting with The Notebook-type genre, but falls more into the category of Blue Valentine (which is the most depressing but my favourite movie ever). So I guess it's not that odd that I wanted to watch it. Perhaps it was the foreign language and musical reference to The Beatles...

Watch if you're into the strange and beautiful

NY Weekend

I tend to think I only like photos/ taking photos of people, but I have some exceptions.

Typically, I'd say I want to live the busy gogogo city lifestyle because I'll be forever young, but I think eventually I would want to be one of those classy people who go wine tasting every weekend and walk through nature trails because it's "fun" and I have nothing else to worry about.










All photos taken around New York area

After a long weekend

My thoughts exactly

Channeling Batman

and Catwoman of course

The edgiest, best looking, superhero power couple

I want to be where she is right now, just listening to this song all day.

It has the power to make you feel like you're in another world. It can make you feel utterly depressed. Make you want to do something bad and stay out all night and never come home. Make you smile and recall. Make you fall asleep altogether.

Pretty

It's starting to look a lot like Tumblr.
