continuous love affair.

So I've been really obsessed with Topshop for the past couple of months, and here are some things that I am drooling over. If they'd make it into my wardrobe, that would be nice. Closet fairy, why don't you exist?! The temperatures are slowly increasing so it is only natural that the things I look at would fit the spring-transitioning-to-summer theme. I think it's safe to say that crop tops are still something that I gravitate towards...

the dead arises (+ new wardrobe updates!)

I've neglected to update this blog for almost 5 months now, yikes. I'm back from the dead, sort of! I hope to update with a lot of outfit photos, but until I can get myself to actually go ahead and do that, here are some of my most recent purchases. I've been having a love affair with Topshop recently, and the crop top I actually got with a $20 giftcard I received when the Topshop Grove team came to my campus; it was before they opened the The Grove location and they were doing a lot of promotional activities! I actually had the hardest time trying to decide what to buy with my giftcard, so I opted for this plain black crop tee that I am sure will get a lot of wear. I've been wearing a lot of monochrome shades recently, so...

The skirt! I fell in love with its delicate goodness and light blue hue ever since it arrived on the Topshop website, and thus...it had to be mine. My affection for this skirt is so much so that I open my drawer constantly to look at it. Confessions of a clotheshorse, I guess?

It is Spring and I should be rejoicing in wearing lots of florals again, but I've actually been refraining from adding to my (already bursting-at-the-seams) wardrobe. It doesn't mean I can't drool after pretty items, though! I'll probably do that in a future post. Sorry to have been gone so long, I hope you'll forgive me? ;)

photo cube 2

Sorry for the lack of updates! Hopefully this little cube will make up for it until I can get myself to post actual awesome content.

1. Appropriately named "Thoughts" because, well, thinking while staring at a flower is pretty awesome.
2. Lovely pink roses in the apartment.
3. Irises before we had pink roses!
4. An outfit before winter break, actually. Embellishments! My favorite!

I want you to rock me.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas holiday! I am finally posting with one of the gifts I received from my friends! I saw this jumper a couple of months ago and knew that I had to have it. Thanks, S! :P I left a good amount of my clothes back at school so I had limited options as to how to style this, so I will definitely be more creative next time!

Also, it's quite uncanny how well it matches these sunglasses. I think they were made for each other. Matchy matchy!

Thakoon Addition Pre-Fall 2013

Can I just comment on how difficult it was to choose five looks to make a montage out of?! I've always loved Thakoon Addition, as referenced by a previous post somewhere in my archives, but this Pre-Fall 2013 collection blows everything out of the water. Every look is cool, quirky, and comfortable at the same time, something that pulls at my heartstrings.

I do honestly think that my warddrobe choices will now be heavily influenced by this collection! Check out the whole collection (and other amazing Pre-Fall collections) at Style.com! :)

i can change your life.

Why, hello there! This post is a little weather-confusing, but it was warm enough to wear shorts AND to shoot beautiful photos at the beach...one of the better days this week! My friends and I finally had the chance to have a mini shoot originally planned with flower crowns...but when we found that it was $85 for one crown (!!), we decided to purchase these lovely gerbera daisies instead. Aren't they colorful? :)

Hope you're enjoying the holiday downtime! Have fun and enjoy all the lovely holiday cheer in the air before it's gone...:P

It's December already! I apologize for my non-activeness but it is now the beginning of finals week and I should be diligently focused on academics. I know cosmic prints were my obsession this time last year but this pantsuit combo by Topshop makes me wonder if I could pull it off...
