Fall Street Style on Campus


So in my office I'm currently working on an online magazine for students by students, specifically at my University! My most recent article was one on Fall Street Style on campus so I thought I'd share it with you guys since it's something a bunch of you might be interested in reading. Personally, I would just look at it for the pictures. ;)  Click here to check it out!

Hello, Early Weekend!


I never wear this sweater as much as I would like to but it's always a great pick-me-up since it's a beautiful color and the sleeves are just the right length to keep my hands warm. I swear, the perfect long-sleeves are the ones that end right before they hit your fingers. So, so, so cozy. The one problem with this sweater though, is that it's knitted loosely so there's plenty of holes for the wind to come breezing in. I sort of solved the problem by picking up one of those UNIQLO Heattech t-shirts the last time I was in the city that are supposed to generate heat as you move. I'm still not sure if they work all that well but it's definitely warmer with it then without it.

My only class today was cancelled and since I only have classes Monday-Wednesday I now have a five-day weekend! My weekend is still jam packed with a million and one things but it's still really nice being done with classes earlier than expected. One of the things I'm most excited for are the Homecoming Bed Races at my University! I did them last year and this year I'm doing it again with some of my co-workers! Our bed is going to be Nyan Cat themed since we're all internet geeks. I'll post pictures if I can! It'll be ridiculous.

I was always hesitant to wear leopard print in the past because of the boldness of the pattern. Plus, I never pictured myself as being able to pull it off without looking ridiculous. Recently, however, I've been gravitating towards it and I'm finding more subtle ways to wear it, such as this tank top. I love that it takes all the autumn tones in my outfit and spices them up a bit. Definitely a step outside of my comfort zone - but a good step. :)

Now that we're well into October, everything is just getting crazier and crazier. I swear, the list of things to do is growing way faster than I'm crossing things off of it. I need to stop overbooking myself but it's hard to do so when I make everything my top priority. My prioritizing needs some work! One of the things I'm most excited for though is apple picking with my roommates on Friday! It's such a nice Autumn activity and our separate schedules are always conflicting so it's hard to find time for all of us to spend together. There will definitely be pictures from that so check back! What are some of your favorite things to do when autumn rolls around?

An Early Christmas


My favorite thing about the weather getting colder is sweaters, sweaters, sweaters. I might sound like a crazy sweater lady (do those exist?) but I probably am one. I picked up this sweater from Forever 21 the other day and I'm in love with it. It's seriously the coziest thing I own and it reminds me of Christmas which makes me crave some snow already! I'm already excited to wear my ear muffs and bundle up. But then again, I know when it's freezing cold outside, I'm going to start complaining and wishing it was summer. Human beings, never satisfied with the present.

Last night I got to catch up with two of my friends from home (one goes to the same college as me) and it was nice since it's hard for all of us to find time to spend together. We grabbed (multiple) dinners, watched one of my co-worker's comedy shows, and then passed out in front of a movie with some pumpkin beer. I swear, I'm obsessed with pumpkins when Fall rolls around. I grabbed some pumpkin ice cream while I was at work the other day and I was in heaven from the first bite all the way to the last bite. Now all I need is to have some pumpkin pie, a pumpkin latte, and pick a pumpkin of my own. But now I'm off so we can all grab some brunch and have a photo shoot (pictures to come later)! I'm in love with October.

Take The Breath That's True


This is one of my favorite outfits that I've worn recently - I don't think I've ever worn so many shades of brown at one time. Even my backpack is brown. Overkill? Perhaps - but I love it anyway.

The weather has been getting chillier lately and I'm starting to see my winter coats reappear in my closet. I'm excited to layer my clothes again and unpack my tights. There's nothing like trying to stay warm while wrapped up in a cozy blanket and a hot cup of milk tea. But then again, there's also nothing like trying to stay warm when you're outside in freezing cold weather and you realize you've forgotten your scarf and hat in your apartment. I guess there's pros and cons to all the different seasons. Fall has always been my favorite season due to the changing leaves and the crisp, fresh air. I might also be a little biased since my birthday is during the Fall season but that's beside the point. There's also Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is right around the corner! Fall has got it all! :)

And have you guys checked out the new changes to Blogger? I'm in love with my new dashboard - the design is clean, sleek, and so much more efficient. I'm also loving the numerous new ways to view blogs. If you want to check it out, all you have to do is add "/view" to the end of a blog's url. For example, check out http://jennifhsieh.blogspot.com/view to check out how my blog would look in all the different view options! Personally, I love how easily it makes it to see your old entries without having to click on "Older Entries" fifty times. What do you guys think?

Dynamic Duo Reunited

Dynamic Duo Reunited


So here are the Dynamic Duo outfits that Jasmine and I styled up on her last day on the east coast! We didn't have much time to spend together since I had to go to work and class but we managed to wake up early for some breakfast and a photo shoot. I love that we both styled up this skirt differently even though we decided what our outfits were going to be in the same room. There's little ice cream cones all over the skirt and I'm in love with how adorable it is. I've been looking for that perfect blue skirt for a while now too! I can't wait to style it up again (now that I've finally done my enormous pile of laundry). Jasmine and I must have looked just a little bit silly walking around in matching skirts and jumping around for pictures. :P

It's been a couple of weeks and I still miss Jasmine! If only her visits were a monthly occasion - or if only I had enough money to fly over to California. Better start saving! :)

I've got so many meetings planned for this weekend and I feel like they're never ending. It's not so bad though since the meetings are all with people I can't wait to see. Plus I got to see one of my best friends last night who already graduated and is currently teaching in the Bronx. It's weird remembering that he has a full-time job now and I can't see him whenever I want since he's no longer just a five minute walk away from me. Then later tonight I might meet up with my friend from home to catch a movie. The movie theater near my house is giving away free popcorn and drinks with any ticket purchase. JACKPOT? I think so.
