Two Winter to Spring Outfits!

Hello! Today I'm collaborating with Katie from the Style Duckling featuring two winter to spring outfits! Some spring days can still be kind of chilly so I tend to wear long sleeve tees and swap out winter boots for loafers/flats. I also added a floral hair bow for that extra spring effect :P

Floral

I saw snow today! My friend and I decided to go hiking but it started raining really hard and by the time we got up there, it was snowing. It was super cold but fun :) How was your weekend?

Pops of Pink

Recently I've been going to Starbucks a lot more to work on homework. And whenever I go, I order my  favorite drink, the very berry hibiscus refresher :) I also love the smell of pumpkin spice lattes but I don't actually like drinking them. But they smell so good that sometimes I forgot how much I don't like drinking them and order them anyway, only to realize I've made a huge mistake when I take a sip. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the holiday season, especially the day when Christmas break starts!

Caring Cowls

It has finally been getting cold lately so I'm so happy that I can now wear this lovely scarf from Caring Cowls. It is soo cozy (one of the very few scarves I have that actually has a purpose) and super soft. Sarah, the awesome person behind Caring Cowls, also donates proceeds to charity so definitely know that when you buy a cowl, it will be for a great cause.
And here's some more info about her store: Caring Cowls is a nonprofit organization that raises money for various charities and organizations.  All proceeds from sales are donated (minus material and shipping costs).  Currently, Caring Cowls is funding for Action Against Hunger, but last year, $300 was donated to both the American Red Cross and the American Cancer Society.  A new charity will be chosen and funded for very soon!
Caring Cowls offers a large variety of styles, colors and patterns.  You can view them on her Etsy Store, blog, or contact Sarah at caringcowls@live.com. 
Caring Cowls is also offering 20% off with the code: JFO20 so woohoo :)

Boston Part 2

Here are some of the pictures from last Sunday when I was still in Boston! I knew I was going to walk a lot so I decided to wear something really comfy :)

Leather

Did you guys watch the season finale for Pretty Little Liars? I haven't yet! But i'm going to go watch it right after I post this and I can't wait :) And it's finally September which means lots of season premiers!

Pier

I went to San Francisco a few days ago and visited pier 1 which is my favorite one since it has a lot of bread bakeries (woohoo sourdough!) and ice cream places without the huge crowds at Fisherman's wharf. And this is basically what I wear every time I go shopping, haha. Flats, stretchy jeggings, and a loose top...sooo comfy. How was your weekend? :)

Camo and Floral

A few days ago, while I was brainstorming what to write for my common app essay, I started thinking about what I wanted to do in the future. I thought I wanted to major in business administration (for maybe a year now) and I've been looking mostly at colleges that have business programs, but I don't know if that's what I want to do.

 Then while I was getting ready to go to sleep yesterday, the words "software developer" just popped up in my mind. But it's so weird because I was really tired so I have no idea where that came from. (I guess I think more clearly at midnight?) So anyway, i'm still trying to brainstorm possible directions I can head in :) I know i'm probably not going to know exactly what I'll do, but I still like having a general idea so I don't feel so lost while i'm applying to schools.

How did you figure out what you want to do?

Oh and I've been taking my own photos for a few posts now and I gotta say, it's so much less awkward to take pictures in public places when I take it myself because when people ask what i'm doing, I can just say that it's for photography class! :)

Cars kept passing by while these pictures were being taken....Gahh I still can't get used to taking pictures with other people around, even if it's only a few people. How do you guys get used to it?

Stripe Skirt (Eshakti Review)

skirt:c/o eshakti//jacket: forever21//shirt:thrifted//shoes:dsw//tights:ross

I just got this skirt from eshakti which is a site that let's you customize the clothing item you want including changing the length, adding pockets, shortening the sleeves, and other fun stuff. It also let's you input your measurements so that the clothing item will have a perfect fit! Here's the original skirt and then I chose to make the skirt shorter. I think it's such a great idea to be able to change the length since sometimes a skirt can have the coolest print but it's either too long or too short. Anyway, I love this skirt and I'm looking forward to wearing it more in the future :)
