SLIDER


JennifHsieh is a space for my rambling thoughts and snaps of my everyday style. I'm based in Astoria, Queens and I share a home with my two derpy cats and my equally derpy fiancé.

Musical


Being in college, there's one thing I miss that I never thought I would: practicing my violin. Back in High School it was always a pain to have to take out my violin and practice; there were state orchestra auditions, school orchestra auditions, philharmonic auditions, seating auditions, and so much competition. Now when violin has become just a hobby I love it so much more. Do you guys find it easier to love something when you aren't forced to? :)

I used to take piano lessons as well but I'm a piano drop-out. I was such a lazy high school student. Below is my good friend Rob; two thumbs up for posing like idiots.

Jen in Wonderland



My outfit reminded me a little of Alice in Wonderland due to the colors (my photographer pointed it out). It's getting colder and colder over here in the beautiful New Jersey (which is nothing like the new MTV series, Jersey Shore, for your information) and we just had our first snowfall yesterday. I was volunteering for the Salvation Army at the nearby mall and I walked out to a beautiful snowy flurry. :)

Ringing the bell for the Salvation Army during the Holidays always frustrates me a little. I see all these people walking by in their expensive boots, fur coats, and their huge shopping bags full of unnecessary purchases, and yet they can't spare a dollar, or even a quarter, for the Salvation Army. I mean, it doesn't take that much time to pull out a little spare change and drop it into the bucket. But I guess that's how life is sometimes; you come first and others come second. Ugh, enough of this frustrating rant. I should be studying for my finals that are quickly approaching.

Horses



my ears are so big they always stick out from under my hair. makes me feel like dopey from snow white. i used to hate them but now i'm growing to love them (thank god) :) I know it's too cold for flip flops but I couldn't help myself; they're way too comfy and convenient. It's only college, it's not like I'm about to go gallivanting around in the city (although I would absolutely love to right now). 

the back of my vest is ridiculous. :) i found it in a thrift store and it's by urban renewal, which explains the crazy ass horses on the back.

Beautiful Blogger Award


The always beautiful Kaielle from Chictopia nominated me for the Beautiful Blogger Award. :) I adore her sense of style so you guys should all go check her out. Well, I'm supposed to post 7 facts & tag 7 people, so here I go:

1)  My Name is Jennifer (call me any version of that, but i'm used to Jen). I know, it seems like a boring fact, but my username can get pretty confusing so people don't know what my actual name is. Hsieh is my last name :)
2) I love my stuffed animals like they're alive. My current fave is a manatee named Manny Winston and a moose I got for my birthday named Howie.
3) I have to do most things in pairs because when I was younger I thought things that were alone were lonely. I blink in pairs, eat foods in pairs, and I have to step an even number of times in each sidewalk square.
4) My favorite flower is the daisy. My prom date was studying for AP tests so I got to pick out the corsage/boutonnière. We were the only ones with daisies :)
5) No pets are allowed in my dorm but I snuck in my pet betta fish, Seaking II.
6) I want to open a small coffee shop in NYC when I'm older (but I don't know how to make coffee, let alone good coffee).
7) At one point in my life I wanted to name my future daughter Reffy and my future son Fetch. Thank god that no longer stands true.

i tag the following Bloggers/Chictopians: Phebe, MJ, Elaine, s3r3nity, valerieyap, Hafaguddei, & jazzyhwang :)

p.s. i'm the same Jen from Secondskins (the blog I shared with my best friend Phebe). We didn't split up completely; we're still going to be updating our joint blog but run separate ones as well with our outfit pictures and extras. :)
