A bit behind on the {d a y d r e a m_c o l l e c t i o n} project...
I don't know if I will be able to push four posts out, but I'm working on it!
Caught up with my soul sister over rainy Sunday brunch today.
We got to play around with my new Instax Wide camera. ♥

She is f e s t i v e.

@ Kit for the sake of our coffee addiction.

...And here's some digitally generated polaroids that are more outfit-focused...

I love the way the dress splits into three parts in the front, creates such a lovely, flowy, dreamy vibe.

As a lover of all things dreamy...This February, I am introducing a small project {d a y d r e a m_c o l l e c t i o n}, focused on producing dreamy photographs through the use of non-DSLR mediums (polaroids, iphones+apps, etc.) to create vintage looking photographs to celebrate and over-amplify the amorous vibes February is associated with. This will be a four-part series. Hope you enjoy. ♥

Oscar the Grouch

Now that I'm on this weird semi-student status, commuting back and forth to school, I have time for some other things in life besides research. Not to say that I am totally free from my thesis progression or anything...but it gives me time to retackle some creative projects and get my personal life back.

It does hit me a little hard with the realization that I am going to be leaving this city, my IEEE fam, and my dear friends from research soon. These six years have flown by in a blink of an eye. Just two more months to make the best out of my time here...

I put together this little 90's inspired sheer-top look today, my OOTD. While I was shopping around in Madrid this past summer, I found this coat that did not swallow me whole, so I lugged this bad boy (which took up ¼ of my suitcase) home and have been cuddled up comfily in this for the past two months. But I didn't think about how the green colour would result in me looking like astro turf, Oscar the Grouch, or Macklemore...haha!

I've also been eyeing the Common Projects Achilles Low for a while now, thank god for persistence of saving up for over a year now. I love how clean it looks and the small serial number detailing on the sides of the shoe.

It's a good day for sheer tops and women empowerment. But I was honestly inspired by kDawg's streaks with sheer tops (link1, link2)... not to mention Bella's latest outing with her see-thru top- adding fuel to the Selena/Abel drama. I definitely got a few uncomfortable glares today with the top, I feel that it's not as socially okay to be so "revealing" with my choice of apparel around my hometown, but I don't think its that appalling anyways.

I would also style this sheer top with the bra on top, a cropped tank over the sheer shirt, or a velvet dress over.

Thanksgiving '16 | A Holiday Segment

Hello friends! I have been (so) ill for the past three weeks with a different sickness each week. I hope everyone has kept themselves warm and toasty, away from the terrible colds, flus, and whatever mean things out there. Been busy with research, school work, seeing these cute little 1st and 5th graders every week and teaching them about science, college apps, and....a bit of Overwatch ;)

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for the close friends that have stayed in my life throughout these years- helping me get through life and school, my IEEE family- I have not found any other group of students at Uni who motivate me to shoot for the stars and dreams, and my parents for taking care of me when I'm deathly ill (LOL). I'm also thankful for the past 22 months and the experience and opportunity my research group has given me.

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
& where is everyone going for Black Friday? (;
Some holiday links:
-I made a She & Him holiday playlist on Spotify. (My sister reintroduced me to She&Him, totally forgot about their romantic slow goodness)
-Intrigued with these holiday recipes I want to try sometime: apple sage bacon risotto | green bean casserole | potatoes au gratin w/ bacon | sweet potato casserole | winter fruit salad
-date night ideas: The Grove LA (one of my favorite), Disneyland, Festival of Lights at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in Riverside, Unique LA holiday market, Boat Parade (Marina del Rey, Newport Beach,...etc), LA Zoo Lights, watch the Nutcracker Ballet, or a day in Big Bear/Mammoth

Back Tues School

Get it? Get it? My Tuesday back to school outfit :D
(I am really bad at making puns if you haven't gotten that already...)

Had a lovely weekend with my lady friends this weekend (fun fact: we've been friends since middle school- minus J, who I met this weekend!) We went apple picking in Julian and hung around San Diego since one of the ladies now moved down there! See more on my Instagram!

It's only the first week back at school and I'm already so overwhelmed! So many things to do I swear my agenda is overfilled with due dates, collaborations, meetings, homework, projects, and other commitments!! AhhHHH.

Super excited for what this fall quarter has to bring me though and semi scared for all the work that I have to finish by January (!!)

Thought I would share this outfit I wore to uni today with you guys.
I combined two loose items together to get a relaxed look, but used casual office/work attire so that the casualness doesn't get downplayed too much. I know I should have finished the outfit with a belt in the middle to create some solidity, but honestly. . . it worked without a belt surprisingly. And of course loafers to complete the look.

Now if you'll excuse me... I HAVE TO GET BACK TO MAKING A PRESENTATION FOR MY SEMINAR CLASS TOMORROW.
I'll be back soon with new content as soon as things calm down a bit...

White Washed

Dug My Heart | BØRNS (my newest muse)

Hello dear readers.
It's been forever, and so much has changed since I've last posted.
My sincerest apologies.

Within the unexpected 10 month hiatus.....

I have been doing research full time, learning so many new things, joining new organizations, and taking on projects across the country with my fellow colleagues. Then I applied and got accepted to graduate school, so I am now pursuing an engineering program!
I also broke my annual concerts attendance number; I saw Sufjan Stevens, BØRNS, MUSE perform and have Beach House and Daughter planned.
I went to Scandinavia (confirmed my love for Denmark to be real, authenticated Moomin's existence in Finland, traveled through the fjords of Norway), traveled through southern Japan, explored DC on my own, went to my first technical conference with some of my colleagues, and had my first Vegas trip with friends (lol! I know, finally right?).
I had the pleasure of seeing Maria Kotchekova (and Nat and Skye) dance in the Nutcracker, went to my first Dodgers game, as well as seeing the Lakers play, got my first straight A's in college!!, and finally downloaded Snapchat so I am able to annoy my followers with my excessive brunching and beach outings.
And, I discovered how far real friends are willing to go for you, learned the power of forgiveness, made new friends, and (most importantly) got reacquainted with my best friend. ♥

Check out BØRNS if you need something new to listen to, I am absolutely smitten with him.

Thank you for always staying close and coming back to check up on me and this page. Life has been full of surprises the past few months and I have to say I am thankful for everything that has happened, good and bad.
It's been a busy year, but I am trying my best to spend some time here again.

Two Weeks

Two weeks left of my undergraduate career in studying chemistry.
I can't believe time flew by so fast.

I am very thankful to have met everyone I've met since orientation/day 1 from uni to today, and I am delighted to have grown so close to the 90% of the (class of 2015) graduating chemistry majors + a few others. Lab nights, study sessions till 3am in ChemSci, and the snapchat lectures are worth more to me than the letters that appear on our transcripts.

Yeah, forgot to update with my readers (you guys) about this, but I got a haircut roughly three weeks ago- totally in love and can't fathom how I ever lived with my long(er) hair....and! (warning more materialistic brag ahead) I got the Dior So Real sunnies, so I can't wait to show you guys that sometime soon. Anyways, hopefully I'll update you lovely readers again sometime before the end of uni. Happy memorial day weekend. Thank you for sticking around.

As always,

Desert Through Danish Lenses

Presenting "Desert Through Danish Lenses"
( ...otherwise known as part two of Monochromatic Mix )

Breaking the mono-tone with a skinny braided belt.

Monochromatic Mix

Last weekend I got together with my friend, Kaori, a stylist, and did a shoot together.

Kaori suggested that we visit the Noguchi Gardens in Costa Mesa.
The Gardens is an offsite exhibit that is part of The Isamu Noguchi Museum based in New York.

Doesn't the tiled pyramid behind remind you of the Louvre Museums (in Paris)?

Kaori picked an "all black" theme, and I decided to throw some white in there for contrast.
We also decided to play with layers.

With that being said, I wanted to show you guys this cape I bought over winter break! What do you think? I really like the cape-craze that was trending this past winter season (ie. Olivia Palermo and Alexa Chung's monogrammed Burberry). There was a wide variety ranging from colors, textures, and patterns. My favorite one is a tie between the monogrammed Burberry one and an all-black cashmere one.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving dear readers!
Hope everyone has recovered from midterm exams shock and regained their sleep back.
Senior year, for me, has been super busy so far, but I'm trying to live up my last days at school enjoying my peers and all our resources. (including living in the chemistry building; being in there 24/7....jk, kind of not really)

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for....my readers that have stayed with me for a year (and new readers!) and all the people (I've met at school this past quarter) that are constantly there for me.

I am loving my new cashmere knit from Club Monaco right now.

Da ham~*! baking along with yam, stuffing, and other foods :D

& can't forget da apple cider!!!! ♥Have an enjoyable Thanksgiving feast with your loved ones, and BE SAFE DON'T FIGHT TOO HARD ON BLACK FRIDAY. (be nice)(p.s. where is everyone going to be shopping at?)
