i find it easier to document my life and my outfits through the shitty lens of my iphone.

i miss the art of setting up my camera and adjusting the settings and running around hoping the self-time doesn't go off too soon and then sitting in front of my computer and writing a blog post. but being a full-time student and working long hours at my job, i can't seem to find the time anymore. maybe once in a while.

for now, you'll all have to settle.
like i did.

I am terrible at this. My apologies. The weather is cold. My lips are chapped. I just want to be warm.

An outfit for work! And then random photos through my week. I've been spending my second week of winter break just working a lot, hanging out with friends, and eating. I'm going to gain so much weight...I finally got to have dinner with my line from my sorority. It's so nice seeing sisters that joined the sorority so long ago and that they still come out and see the expansion of their families. The food at Gyu-Kaku was amazing. It was Japanese barbecue. A little expensive, but it was definitely worth it. And the drinks weren't bad either. The lychee bellini was pretty spectacular. I hope everyone is enjoying their breaks, if you have one. If not...well...I hope you guys take some well deserved vacation days. :)

who cares?

oversized parka - LF // leopard sneakers - Vans // kitty socks - Forever 21

I love these shoes. Seriously. I'm obsessed. And it's finals week, so any excuse to potentially dress like a boy, I'll take. And peep those socks. It's a cat face....WITH EARS. C'mon. How cute is that. Okay time to get back to studying because otherwise I'm going to fail or something like that. Don't major in accounting unless you want to sell your soul to the devil. Which is exactly why I'm changing my major.

california dreaming

This past summer, after my summer classes, I decided to go to California in July to visit some friends...by myself. 

Here is a photo collection on my trip there. I had the time of my life and I definitely wouldn't mind moving there. 

A little late on the update, but late is better than never!

i. LGA → LAX

So I started my trip off with flying with Delta. I had a layover in Detroit but it was nothing special. My dad bought me a bunch of snacks to keep me entertained and I made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich so I didn't have to spend a thousand dollars on some dry nasty sandwich at the airport. It was my first time flying alone but I didn't really mind especially since my seatmates were more interested in their Kindles and taking a nap than bothering me. 

ii. CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC

 

Everything seems prettier in California. And those Hi-Fi bites? Amazing. Let me not incriminate myself any further. I spend the majority of my time in Huntington and Newport, and even took a day trip to Venice Beach with my friends.

iii. tubby time.

I ate a lot there too. In-n-Out is not overrated. It's so good. It was heaven. I usually never even eat burgers. AND THOSE ANIMAL STYLE FRIESSSSSSSSSSSS. 

iv. desert trails

My friends are pretty athletic. Then again, probably because they're guys. I thought we were going to just lounge around and do nothing and waste away in the beautiful sunshine. And then they decided to make me bike with them at the Laguna Coast Wildnerness Parks. Luckily for them, I could keep up. But honestly I wanted to pass out on the side of the road and let the vultures eat my decomposing body.

v. OC Fair

 

 Yes. I went to a cheesy fair. Don't judge me.

vi. beach

 

The beaches are amazing. The waves are perfect for body boarding or surfing and the water is clear and the people are beautiful and make me want to wear a snuggie on the beach because they're that perfect.

vii. BOATS BITCHES BOOZE

 

And then to conclude my amazing stay in California, we went out on my friend's speedboat to the middle of the Laguna bay, drank, partook in more illegal festivities, saw dolphins, tanned, and rode the waves.

Photos cannot sum up how much fun that summer was. I didn't even have any crazy experiences (okay, yes I did with one situation involve police, the roof of an elementary school, and illegal substances). Everything was very low-key and enjoyable. And I got tanned like a MOFO. I'm glad I'm making this post in the middle of winter. It gives me hope that there are brighter days ahead of us unless we die because of the end of the world 12.21.12 woooooop.

until next time,
