August '15 • Vitamin D

A long and scorching July has come to an end and today marks the first day of August. With only a month's time left of summer, I'm making the effort to do more things and see more things before I have to trek my way back to school (that is, for my final year in college *gasp*). I'm not a big fan of direct sunlight, mainly because I'm still pretty self conscious of the state of my skin in the sun, but when I saw this enormous window at the Brooklyn Museum, I thought 'Eh, screw it', and let myself soak in all that Vitamin D. 

My interest in the '70s trend is in full swing with this outfit, bandanna and all. Not so much a fan of suede when the temperature soars to 90 degrees, but hey, I guess it's balanced out with the off-the-shoulder top. Also, snaps to my sister for lending me her gladiator sandals--didn't mean to coordinate with all the suede, but I'm happy with it. Here's to a happy August!

I'm wearing: Zara off-the-shoulder top, American Apparel circle skirt, Topshop sandals, bandana, H&M bag, Ray Ban sunglasses 

December '14 • Weather Appropriate

Topshop duster coat, Forever 21 sweater, UNIF jeans, Steve Madden booties, Chanel bag, Rayban sunglasses

Hello lovelies!

Forgive me for my absence--I took a week off from doing anything after finals and my internship ended! Plus, my little sister flew into town and stayed with me for one week, so I was preoccupied with family matters.

On this day, we decided to take a walk up to the Museum of Natural History since it was my sister's last day in New York, and the weather was just too nice not to be outside! I especially enjoy winter days when the sun is shining while the air is still crisp and cool to the skin. I recently bought these holey UNIF jeans at the Urban Outfitters sale, and yes, it might not be winter appropriate, but you can easily wear ripped jeans in the colder months with some thick tights underneath to cover up the bare legs! And since I've been in a colorless mood lately, I paired the jeans with a cream sweater and a black duster coat for a monochrome look. Of course, I piled on some necklaces to avoid looking too plain, and the coral bag with the mirrored sunnies add the punch of color this outfit needed. 

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends! I'm guessing that this is my last post of 2014, and let me tell you, I am so ready for 2015! This year has brought many changes in my life--some great and some not so great--but I feel stronger coming out of the other side and can't wait to see what 2015 has stored for me. Wishing every a Happy New Years, and maybe I'll come back one more time before 2015 for a wrap-up post! But till then, love you all and talk to you soon :)

December '14 • Modern Woman

H&M jacket, Topshop top, Topshop trousers, Topshop oxfords, Casio watch, Prada bag

Hi guys!

I'm not going to write too much about this outfit today, but this is my Topshop-filled outfit post! I am in the midst of finishing up my fall semester of Junior year, and that means lots of papers and exams in the next week. But I am excited to wrap up the semester and start my winter break in the City! My sister and my boyfriend Justin will both be in New York with me this winter, so I am looking forward to sharing my days with you guys through this blog! 

My patterned top and trousers are from the Topshop Black Friday sale that I was talking about in my previous post. I've been rocking the trouser, boyish-look these days because I find trousers more comfortable and easy to move in than jeans. My oxfords are also from Topshop, and they are becoming one of my favorite shoes to sport! Again, these are super comfortable and perfect for stomping around the City!

I can't wait to come back to you guys with more fun content soon! Let me know if you're also finishing up school ! Muah!

xo,

Yujin
