I always adore the way Elle UK editors dress to the office! They look like such a great team and I wish they’re my coworkers. Wouldn’t it be nice to come to work and be inspired by people around you and their outfits? That would be my dream job! 
One of my all-time favorite fashion editors, Kat Webster.
Aren’t they all so chic?
What kind of clothes do your coworkers wear? Are they casual or dressy? I’d love to know! xoxoxoxoxoo

One question that I think about when I read blogs is that how much personality the blogger is showing on his/her blog. Of course, we want people to think positively of us when they visit our blogs but I’m curious about the flaws as well. There are things that I like about myself but there are also things I don’t like very much. I like that I’m very friendly person, I tend to approach things with a sense of humor, I will do anything for someone I love and I’m a good listener. But I don’t like that I’m not really as outgoing as I want to be, I can get offended very easily (I’m working on it), I can be a pain in social events where I’ll act awkward and say all the wrong things (I didn’t mean to, really!), and I complain way too much about the weather…which I have no control of. What about you? I want to know what you like and don’t like about yourself.
Oh…and here are the outfits I’m planning on wearing for my dentist appointments….
Some of my favorite looks from Nastygal, especially those red shorts! It would look perfect with everything!
A great jacket that can work at the office and beyond! I can’t wait to wear it with my denim shorts! Chain Trim Crepe Weave Jacket $89.90 (shopakira.com)
Such a sexy skirt from Stylenanda! I just bought it today! (Stylenanda Skirt $35.05)
1. SILK CROP VEST BY BOUTIQUE $84.00 (Topshop) 2. staircase skirt $99.99 (madewell.com) 3. SEGMENT COLLAR $30.00 (Topshop) 4. The Row Sunglasses with leather details $575.00 (nathalieschuterman.com) 5. September Trip Satchel $54.99 (modcloth) 6. Stella mccartney shoes NUDE $400.00 (matchesfashion.com)
Wishing you a wonderful day! xoxoxoxoxoo

Did you guys have a great weekend? Last Saturday, I went to the dentist and went through a painful cleaning plus a consultation where I was informed that I need to remove my two wisdom teeth and I will be sedated during the procedure on my next visit. Yeah, I’m totally looking forward to that…(*sarcasm wink*). So naturally, I went to the mall afterwards and bought a couple of new things to calm myself. Shopping is one of the ways I cope with stress. What about you?
And now, on to a new day and an even better week….
Fight the Monday blues..put a bounce in your step! Wear your favorite outfit, listen to happy music!
Love these inspirations for the office…especially black and white with a pop of color!

One of the reasons why I love blogging so much is that you get to share a part of yourself with the world and enjoy getting to know other people in the process. I’m a pretty quiet person but I get fired up if I’m talking about something I have a passion for. I guess today, I want to share a couple of things about me that you don’t know…so here it goes:
1. English is not my first language.
2. I’ve only had two boyfriends in my life.
3. I’m a very consistent person and I admire and respect people who are consistent in what they do, what they say and what they believe in.
4. I’m very loyal. Once I decide that I like you, it is FOREVER.
5. One of the biggest mystries for me is when I hear people criticize or made fun of Tom Cruise so hatefully and aggressively. I still don’t get it. When I saw him jumping on Oprah’s couch professing his love for Katie Holmes, I was just feeling so happy looking at him. I thought Wow, that was pretty amazing that he’s not afraid to show his emotions. I didn’t think anything more than that. I was so surprised to see how the American public reacted to the whole situation…it was terrible. They seemed to enjoy attacking for his belief in Scientology (America is a free country the last time I checked and everyone is free to believe whatever religion they want, right? So why attack him?) or his height or his roles in movies…..but I couldn’t understand the whole backlash or hate for someone who is just so excited to find a girl he loves.
Anyways….
Beautiful picture from Penelope Parasols lookbook!
Want those fringe shorts and the pretty bow headband!

It’s been a really crazy week so far…staying up late doing homework, researching for blog posts and reading a ton.

Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend! I got a much needed rest and I feel pretty good about the upcoming week. I’m ready to hit the books! Now that I’m about to concentrate my majority of time into studying, I worry a lot about distractions and since I also blog on the side, I need to plan my time accordingly. I find this article on better attention and focus online tools really helpful. I tend to have a schedule for everyday and stick to it no matter what. On weekdays, my day is divided into three parts: My day job (working from 8:30AM to 4:00PM), coming home, spending time with family, eating dinner, shower (4:30 to 7:00PM), studying, working out, blogging, doing errands, planning for the next day (7:30 to 12 or 1:00AM). What about you? How do you guys manage your time?

Have you seen this video?! My favorite look is when Taylor styled Amanda in an oversized white shirt by tying the knot at the bottom and then paired it with the leopard clutch and loafers. Perfect!
Hope your Monday is bright and lovely! xoxoxoxoxo

The first day of going back to school is always nerve-wrecking but exciting. When I was in college, I was a total fashion victim…I didn’t know what my style was and I was experimenting and figuring out what kind of clothes I want to wear. Then I started reading a lot of fashion magazines and slowly, I began to develop a passion for personal style. Now that I’m going back to school in less than a week, I feel inspired to collect items that I want to keep in my closet and in my room!
When I was young, I thought that people who wear glasses are really smart. So I got a pair of fake glasses and wear them all the time so that people think I’m smart too!
Back to school style inspirations! 
I wish I have enough space in my room for that couch! 1. Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Backpack $460.00 (ssense.com) 2. ASOS Book Clutch $43.10 3.

Russ Berrie Shining Stars Honey Bear $14.99 (amazon) 7. Edie Velvet Chaise – Fuschia $579.00 (Urbanoutfitters.com) 
This is what I want to wear to my first day of school. What do you think? 1. AERIE LIGHT AS AIR MOHAIR SWEATER $39.50 (American Eagle Outfitters) 2. Acne shorts $108.00 (Thecorner.com) 3.

I have a completely fashion-unrelated question. Do you guys make eye contact with people when you’re walking? Or do you just listen to your music and zone out? I never make eye contact with anyone because I’m usually thinking about something and I like to walk really fast. Also, I hate it when people, especially guys, who just stare at you up and down while they’re walking towards you. To me, it’s just so rude. I mean, I check out people as well but I do it discreetly and not in their face.
Here are some of the lovely things I wish were in my closet right now!
From left to right: Ashbury Lace Top – Black $48.00, UNIF Forget It Dress – Black $48.00, Motel Maisy Floral Shorts $48.00 (Nastygal Vintage)
My favorite blouses from ASOS! From left to right: Oasis Oversized Spot Print Blouse $34.48, Oasis Contrast Trim Shirt $77.58, Warehouse Gold Button Shirt $86.20
Those gold-cuffed shoes are so tempting! My gosh, someone in London please buy this for me! 1. The Row Norton Sweater $625.00 (barneys.com) 2. MOTO ZEBRA PRINT HOTPANTS $70.00 (Topshop) 3. black ankle cuff sandals $100.00 (Riverisland) 4. Red Lady bag $178.00 (anntaylor.com) 5. Mara Necklace $170.00 (Dannijo.com) 6. Illesteva Lili Sunglasses $230.00 (lagarconne.com)
Wishing you a wonderfully chic day! xoxoxoxoo
