I wore about 3 variations of this outfit today ha ha ha. I can't stay the same for too long.

Back and here to stay, finally! It's only been...two months since I touched this blog, nbd. Fortunately, summer has officially begun for me since noon today. Since then, it's been fun times with the girls eating spicy garlic buffalo wings and car rides filled with laughter and the wind-in-hair effect in full force. Now I will be napping and packing until later tonight for more mischief ha ha ha.

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Oops! I seemed to have forgotten all about posting on this blog! ...Not that anyone cares...However, I have taken more pictures of my outfits lately so they are waiting to be posted.

Okay, so three new favorite things. The nail polish seen here by American Apparel in Office and this amazing sweater from UO. Its motorcycle like details complete my life. Also is my sheer polka dot tights I've been wanting to get for forever. Love love love!

That is all :) Hope your weekend has been fabulous! I have successfully accomplished getting no homework done, made 15 crazy videos with my bff, met kind strangers, got my nails done, and most importantly, I have been reinspired to keep staying strong to save money for an SLR that I desperately need.

P.S. Check out my tumblr! I update this all the time with pictures that inspire me, give me ideas or they are just aesthetically pleasing.

xoxo

Happy Friday!

I'm back from my road trip to California and Nevada! And that's right, no internet and I didn't even use my phone either. Came home this morning and have been catching up with the interwebz for almost the entire day! I am still so behind and have a load of e-mails to get to.

I still have a lot going this weekend and really should do my schoolwork. No slacker no more!

xoxo

Happy Friday!

2010-03-18T22:12:00.001-07:00

I am so exhausted from this sleepless week but now I'm on break! Picking some things up at Target, going to the bank and packing for my road trip! :) Bringing the laptop btw!

All We Can Do is Keep Breathing

Beautiful right? Everything is always so dreamy when it's underwater or rather in this photo, in water.

I just got back from my mentor ship downtown for architecture. We presented our plans and progression so far. My group is designing a fire station. It's pretty awesome.

Ahh! One more day until I leave for Spring Break! I am going on a road trip with my family to California and Las Vegas to see family, hang out, and possibly go to Disney Land. It should be fun. I will be bringing my work with me and leave Thursday. Not sure how blogging will work yet but I could do some planned posts!

Happy almost Friday! Haha, guess that doesn't really work.

I'll Buy a Magazine Searching for Your Face

2010-03-17T19:28:00.000-07:00

If international magazines weren't so expensive, I would have rushed out to get this magazine before it had time to even cool off from shipping. Then again, how persuasive is a cover with Chloe Sevigney in Miu Miu covered in doodles to just grab the money and go? Sigh. However, I am trying to seriously save for an SLR camera. I have saved for years but something always seemed to come up until before I know it, my piggy bank is empty. As much as I love magazines, I'd rather buy a good book.

In Pretending To Be a Man in Love, He Became a Man in Love

About that internet break...I decided that blogging here would be okay for a short period of time on weekdays because it is healthy to let out some feelings and to record events of the day.

That being said, today was a fresh start to the new quarter and it is going to be a tough one, I can tell. I have been working on english all day and will move on to spanish and math later. Oh gosh, I have not been paying enough attention to math and in a long time, I am confused! Focus Christina, focus!

Help, I Have Done It Again

2010-03-15T23:43:00.000-07:00

Today, I went to the gym and shopped for a long while. I got a bow ring and a leopard jacket which I will show on my blog soon! That took about ten minutes while the other hours I spent proved to be quite unsuccessful. Could not find the books I wanted, office supplies, the Essie nail polish I wanted. Besides, a shopping trip never feels successful to me if I did not buy a dress/skirt or shoes. Sigh.

I will take a fast on internet by the way. Whenever I feel something has impacted me negatively, I distance myself away from it. It will no doubt be difficult. The internet is such a great way for escape and connection with those who enjoy the same passions as I do. But it came to a point where it distracted my own life too much and made me slack on my schoolwork. I will only use it on weekdays for school and e-mail. As for the weekend, I will spend a max of an hour every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So see you guys this weekend!

Good luck on life! I am starting a new quarter tomorrow!

Monday, Monday

I have not yet completely delved into the blogging world hence the lack of updates. It's difficult to do personal posts so I will resort to photos and other things that provide to be an inspiration to me. Today, I present to you a random collection of photos. I plan to share my entire folder full of pictures that made me stop.

Sorry about the unknown credits. I will keep track from now on :)

Happy Friday!

Rosie is so adorable and beautiful. I love her fur vest.

Last day of finals. I thought by now I would be so excited but instead my body is filled with anxiety by how bad I did. I don't want to know what my grades are anymore.

Happy Friday!

How cool are Hanne and Alexander? Seriously.

Happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend :) I will be extremely busy studying for finals but I'm excited for it to be over...then it will be time to party/celebrate!

3: All This Talking Pulls My Teeth

2010-03-03T16:17:00.000-08:00

I have been so busy these past few weeks. And now there is one more week until finals are over and one more after that until spring break! Tonight, I am so excited because I am in bed at 12am tonight. It is truly a miracle!

This is me being lazy, too much of everything going on my life means truly effortless dressing. Like I've mentioned before, cardigans are my go to item. Hence the fact I've worn a cardigan every single day of the week (all different of course!). These jeans are my favorite, I acquired them just before Paris last summer so it brings back fantastic memories. They are dyed to look like the sky and are heavily tattered. I was so excited to finally find a pair like them!

A Special Day

2010-03-01T21:50:00.000-08:00

I love the mood more-so the individual pieces. Though of course, I am lusting over the flower-like miniskirt and delicate shawl in the last photo. If you know of a lipstick this color, please share the name and brand. It's exactly what I need.

2: It Struck Me That The Two Of Us Could Run

2010-02-19T19:26:00.001-08:00

(target tights, forever 21 ribbed dress, guess boots)

TGIF like no other! I can't even remember when I last had a free Friday and I got so excited I spent the day alone doing nothing! It was liberating really and oh so relaxing. Exactly what I needed.

For so long I have been such a cardigan girl. In fact, my uniform has always been a dress, cardigan and flats with tights optional. It's light and so easy to layer. I myself only have a few darks ones so I always steal my mother's because she has a generous collection abundant in simple and solid colors. It guarantees a looser fit cardigan, which to me, is the best kind.

(the kills concert tee, betsey johnson belt, forever 21 skirt, cardigan, ring)

I wanted to be a good blogger but I have been a slacker all year! I will try to get into the blogging routine especially since I have nothing else to distract myself since giving up facebook for lent. Haha. The sun has been peeking out lately in Portland, as much as I love rain...I am loving the weather right now!

I am the wildflower girl.
