Chilly Summer Days

Uniqlo jean leggings | F21 nautical sweater | UO scarf

I consider this practically summer. We are getting those bouts of warm weather. Of course, the chilly days in between are unavoidable. But either way, the sunny days makes walking to the farmer's market all the more enjoyable... even if I have to wear a sweater. Oh, and this scarf was another one of the finds from the UO sample sale. This scarf was the last grab, and totally worth it. Unfortunately, from here on out until mid May, I will be anxiously studying for finals. I'm finally done guys. Finally. Can't wait until graduation.

Random Musings

1. Dream come true for shoppers in Los Angeles, welcome to the grove Topshop!
2. Only in random streets in LA do you find exquisite life-like murals on a freeway underpass of Hollywood icons, bunny and all.
3. A massive flock of birds dancing captured through my dirty car window with my Galaxy SII.
4. Creative chairs at the Gap.
5. Newly discovered picturesque park located within 5 min distance.

Ice Cream on Gloomy Days

Zara shorts | F21 plaid top and ankle boots | Korea jacket

After a rather hot and sweaty weekend, it was unimaginable that there would be such a drastic change... Woke up to a chilly morning with wet pavement and hair unfriendly drizzle. That pretty much means wearing layers and a ponytail. I bought these mini ice cream cones from Trader Joe's and have been consecutively eating them in single sittings. I almost had them for breakfast...

Blue Skies Bring Better Days?

Urban Outfitters striped top | F21 long cardigan | H&M leggings

The infamous blue and sunny skies of southern California manages to forgive the unsightly view of random parked cars. I had the patience this morning to pull out a french braid circling my head. I feel the wrath of finals inching closer and the bar for that matter... and hope that no other stressful events reveals itself in the next few weeks... or few months for that matter. I grabbed this top at the Urban Outfitters sample sale... everything was $5. Of course, the real price paid for the items I found was an hour of waiting in a thunderstorm while trying to keep from getting wet under my umbrella. I still don't know if it was worth it.
Today's thought of the day: Taking a deep examination of those who you know really care about you. There are only a few who truly care and will be there for you no matter what. literally. What have you done to show that you appreciate them? Or do you take them for granted?

Tie-Dyed Summer

CarMar tie-dyed shorts from LF stores | F21 buttoned shirt | Gap cropped trench jacket

With the preferable weather outlook (I sound like an old British lady, with all this weather talk), I finally got to wear these awesome shorts I found from LF Stores. While they were a size too big, I had to have them... and found I like them slightly slung off my hips anyway. I decided the front steps of the bf's new apt is probably going to be a common backdrop in future posts. This buttoned shirt from F21 is probably years old... don't you love items that really never go out of style?

The New Trench

Trench coat and heels from Korea | F21 top and cat eye sunglasses

As one of the main items I was looking forward to in my package from Korea, this trench really didn't disappoint. The fit (obviously made for Asian girls) was perfect...and the floppy front gives it that extra touch. I freely wore these heels when it was sunny enough a few days ago. I always get compliments every time I wear them. I'm super bummed to see that my AccuWeather was right.. it is raining today. I have my law school prom today... which means having to avoid puddles in my pumps and hoping my hair doesn't get too flat from getting wet. (still haven't decided what I'm wearing... just sure about the hair and shoes) I'm so happy to be almost done.

Easter Polka-Dots

Sweater from Korea | CarMar zippered jeans from LF Stores | UO heels

I was beyond excited to get my shipment from Korea... It came wayyy sooner than expected, despite the customs papers the bf's brother had to fill out. I love simple loose fit sweaters, as usual. Obviously, there was one of those in my order. The polka-dots on the shoulder were so cutesy I couldn't resist. And at only $10, who really can? I also got a few other things, which will probably get posted soon enough. I dug out these jeans from my closet, just before they got pushed too much to the back and forgotten... I love CarMar! They have the perfect amount of stretch, while avoiding a "leggings" look, which hugs in all the right places while keeping its shape. Slimming and lengthening. Oh, and I finally got a picture with the Easter Bunny!

Foxy Sweater

F21 sweater and distressed skinny jeans | UO heels 

Slightly embarrassingly enough, I've fallen in love with this sweater that has the tendency of being a bit overly cute and fobby. But the stripe detail on the sleeves, wide cut neckline, and the obvious embroidered fox drew me in. I love having simple sweaters that I can wear with jeans for those 70 something degree days where wearing a jacket just doesn't work. After spending the majority of my weekend doing my own rendition of P90x, aka helping the bf move, he's finally settled in, complete with electricity. I can now be enthusiastic for exploring the little shops in Silver Lake within walking distance without being hindered by the thought of having to find parking just to take a peek. On an equally exciting note, my mom finally got a smart phone... time to teach her the joys of extensive kakao emoticons.
