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 I'm Dressed

My no-pants rule means one thing for winter: tights!

I could probably wear tights for the rest of my life. So many variations & colours & patterns! They just make an outfit look cuter than normal!



Mom's sweater




Her signature look: look back and smoulder

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

Tricolour

How we're dressed





This adorable girl walked around campus on homecoming day selling these bows she made with her mom from a shoebox. The sheer effort of her cute (and entrepreneurial) diy was enough to make me want one!


...also celebrating homecoming makes me so excited to call myself alumni in just one and a half years!

Life on an island

I feel like I've been around a lot of water and trees this summer...

Also funny how I managed to not include any photos of food considering that's all I did on this trip!

Summertime

I love my second home/ family

I didn't think it sounded that funny but Kingston really is like my nature home- whenever I'm there, it's like everything I do is outdoors and I actually enjoy it.

Weird

Vamp-y

How I'm dressed

My sister said I looked like a witch
probably her way of indirectly complimenting me but hey! to each their own?

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.

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

Blues

Summer: Ktown withdrawal; that awful transitioning period where you're just getting used to being around your parents again and actually having to figure out what you might want to do with your life.
Cause summers are important for that.





Summer: am I really halfway done my undergrad already? I'm nineteen and I feel old, but what am I going to do with myself once I turn 30? mmhm nah, it'll never happen to me...

Neutral

How I'm dressed

AA high-waist, Mexx pullover, H&M scarf, AE toggle coat

This song is perfection & the snow on the ground makes summer seem so far away

Suspend Your Disbelief

Lazy day outfit: american apparel leggings, shirt from parent's closet, gap beanie

But really, these leggings are one of the best investments I've made since I bought them. And I'm sure everyone has oversized button-up shirts lying all around their house- I found this in my parent's closet (yay for not spending the big $$) & when I wear it I always feel all artsy and whatnot. Dissatisfied with your button-up shirts? Knot them.

On an exciting note, I'm going to Beijing next winter for exchange!!!!




Why you so fabulous, girl?
