the uniform

I'm moving back to school in about a week! I'm kinda sad that's break is about to be over, but at the same time, I'm excited to see everyone again. Haha and I feel like I've definitely been wearing leggings a lot more often in college than I did in high school. So this is an outfit that I'd wear to class most days of the week (or some variation of)!

Fall Leaves

One week from now and I'll be home!! I have three finals this week and I'm really glad they are all very spaced out; I have one on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, which means I'll have one day in between each to study like crazy haha. I'm also going to another concert (this time for Dillon Francis) on Friday after my last final as a way to celebrate so I'm super excited for that :)

A Little bit of lace

I cannot wait until Thanksgiving! I drank a peppermint mocha today and that really brought me into the holiday spirit, haha.

Three Spring Outfits with Tan Boots

 I love these new boots that I got from Cat Footwear because of the neutral color and the buckle detail! I've been looking for a casual boot that can easily go with different outfits so I was so excited when I found this one :) 

I also love that they are really durable since there's a very big possibility that I will go somewhere snowy for college this fall (though I haven't completely decided yet). Speaking of college, I'm so excited to go to welcome days/campus visits in April. Ahhh counting down the days until the first one in a week and a half!

Three Outfits with Leggings

Hello! This weekend, my friend, Iris from Filmsical, helped me create a lookbook video on how to wear leggings :) She also offers services on filming/editing videos, including live filming, drawn, or scrapbook type videos, so even if you don't live in California, she can still help out!

(I am waving a lot in this video hahahaha...)

Updates+Trip

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a lovely New Year's Eve and Day :) This outfit is from last week when I went to Hearst Castle and the beach. And the photos below were taken by my super talented friend, Iris from Whimsical Filmsical, who I went with.

I also made some changes to my blog! The biggest one of which includes a whole new site just for blog design. I also offer blogger templates and squarespace design now too. See it here!

Hope you are all having a lovely Christmas :)

Loose Waves (HANA Elite Flat Iron Review)

 flat iron: c/o Misikko//cardigan, necklace, leggings: forever21//boots:american eagle outfitters//top: urban outfitters

 Most mornings, I'm running late because it takes me way too long to eat breakfast so I was so happy to find out that this HANA Elite flat iron heats up really fast. My old one took forever so I just gave up trying to do my hair most of the time. I also like how it's so simple to make loose waves with this! Perfect for school :) And it's 100% ceramic which means it won't peel or chip!

Flat iron was gifted but all opinions are my own.

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

I wore this outfit on the plane ride to Boston yesterday and to visit some colleges. I love the chilly weather here and I also saw a chimpunk in real life for the first time! It has been so fun so far (especially the really good seafood) and I wish I could stay here a bit longer but i'm going home tomorrow night so that I won't miss school.

Comfy Fall Outfit

I wore this to San Francisco last week when I went to a college info session and it was soo windy! But I do like this cold weather because it means more knits :)

Thrift Store

It finally got cold and rained this weekend! Which means I can wear my cargo jacket again :) 

 I also went thrift store shopping last week and got these sneaker wedges! I went there to sell some of the clothes I don't wear very often anymore since I'm trying to clean out my closet but then I saw these shoes from across the room. I fast walked there and it was my size and $15 and steve madden... and yeah...this closet cleaning is really not working :/ BUT I decided that i'm going to sell most of my shoes and I'm selling them all for under $20 :) Shop them here! I'll upload more listings this week .

And this post is submitted to this week's heartifb project: soldier chic!

Transitioning into Fall

These jeggings are such a bright pink color! I love it :) I've always thought that light colored denim would be hard to wear in the fall but I've been imagining all the possible ways to wear them. And this vest too! Sometimes I wear my denim jacket like four times a week (I can't help it, it goes with everything!) but now I think I can give my denim jacket a break.

And do any of you watch Suits? I heard it's pretty good but I don't know if I should start watching another TV series. Or do you recommend any shows? :)
