Now that the beautiful, summer weather is rolling around, I have my eye on that perfect summer dress. Shopbop.com has a bunch of Haute Hippie dresses that I'm dying over but sadly they're out of my price range. A few other pieces I can't stop looking at are the 10 Crosby by Derek Lam coats and this Sass and Bide bag. One day I'll be able to snatch them up. But today, it's your day.

The Sky Was Falling

May 12, 2012

The Sky Was Falling

I can't believe how hectic this last week of college has been! Between catching up with friends, finishing up my finals, and all the senior week celebrations, I haven't really had any time to breathe. I'm about to go grab brunch with two of my favorites but before I left I wanted to share an outfit I wore into the city this last Tuesday.

Jeremy and I went down to Tribeca to attend a Tech Tuesday event that featured the founder of Dear Photograph, Taylor Jones. He just released his first Dear Photograph book and I got to take home a free copy. It's pretty sweet and it still blows me away that Taylor is the same age as me. I've gotta think of the next brilliant idea!

Tomorrow is already graduation day but it still hasn't kicked in that my college years are over. I can't wait to share all of my senior week pictures with you guys. My roommates and I went on a mini-photo shoot yesterday to take some pictures in our cap and gowns that I'll be posting next week. But the next time I update this bad boy, I'll be a college graduate. How crazy is that?

Cinco de Mayo!

May 8, 2012

Cinco de Mayo!

This past Saturday was Cinco de Mayo so a few friends and I decided to celebrate it the right way - with some authentic Mexican food (the restaurant was appropriately named Cinco de Mayo), sketchy bar hopping, and tequila & Coronas galore! Definitely an interesting and unforgettable night. I took a few, random pictures throughout the night that I didn't remember I took until the morning. Keep up with my other random pictures on Instagram! My username is jennifhsieh. :)

I just took my last final a few hours ago and I'm officially done being an undergrad! It still hasn't kicked in and I keep thinking that I'm still going to wake up tomorrow and go to class. I might accidentally do that anyway. In one week I'll be moved out of my on-campus apartment and moved back home. Can't wait for that beautiful home-cooking. <3

Somebody That I Used to Know

Somebody That I Used to Know

If you guys have been consistently visiting my blog this past week you'll notice that I went through three different layouts. I wasn't satisfied with any of the looks and my indecisiveness got the best of me. But now I think I have finally designed a layout I'm content with - it's simple and that's just the way I like it. It's definitely growing up with me and it reflects my own personal aesthetic and my style. Any feedback is welcome.

Last night my roommates and I went to the midnight premiere of The Avengers and my mind was blown. It was definitely worth going to and I would watch it again if I wasn't a poor college (almost) graduate. And the Hulk? He's definitely my new obsession.

Also, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported me and voted for me in Free Endearment's Ultimate Fashion Blog Off! I had to style three different Free Endearment bags and I was able to gain the most votes on my looks! I get to take home an entire year's supply of bags courtesy of Free Endearment and I can't thank them enough for this opportunity. Definitely a great company and I can't wait to browse through the selection. I'm definitely going to be doing a couple of giveaways with these bags since you guys deserve them more than I do! You guys will probably get a lot more use out of them too since I'm not the biggest bag person (what will I do with 12 bags?). Thank you guys again so much - best readers and friends around? I think so.

Spin Me Out of Control

April 30, 2012

Spin Me Out of Control

Today was my last day of classes as an undergraduate (and I'm pretty sure for the rest of my life). It feels kind of bittersweet but it still hasn't kicked in yet. I'll probably wake up tomorrow at the same time I always do and start packing up my bag for class. As much as I dread going to classes, taking notes, and doing homework, I know one day I'm going to miss it terribly. The life of a student is fantastic and we don't even realize it while we're students. Our main responsibility is to learn. To learn. It can't get much better than that.

Graduation is quickly approaching in two weeks and I can't believe it's already here. My cap and gown are sitting in a corner of my room still waiting to be taken out of its package. I refuse to have it hanging in my closet, staring at me and reminding me of what's to come. I already got two finals out of the way early (thanks, professors!) and all that's left is one final next Monday and two take-home exams. After that there's just a week of parties, celebrations, and nights we'll never want to forget. I'm scared to leave but I'm so incredibly excited for the future.

The Rising Sun

April 26, 2012

The Rising Sun

One of my all-time favorite things to do in the world is to watch the sun rise. I always love the feeling of driving early in the morning as if I'm racing the sun to the horizon. The sun always wins, of course, but I put up a good fight (or so the police officers say with their speeding tickets). Despite our exhaustion, Jeremy and I drove to the beach this morning just in time to catch the sun rising. It was a little chillier than I expected it to be and I remember wishing that I wore pants instead of my maxi dress.  The trip was still worth it though since we grabbed the most delicious and filling breakfast afterward. Now my belly is full of omelette and potatoes. So satisfied.

The more I look through my blog, the more I realize that my style has definitely gotten simpler over the years. I remember when I first started blogging, I didn't know what my personal style was and I always thought you had to incorporate a million things into your outfit in order to be stylish. I'd wear necklaces even though I didn't like necklaces because what's an outfit without accessories? Now that I'm comfortable with my closet and the clothes that I put on my back, I find myself gravitating towards simple outfits that focus on comfort. You'll rarely see me with jewelry, purses, or hats (mainly because my head is too big to fit one) and I'm completely okay with that because I wouldn't feel like myself with them on. Now the only problem is figuring out what to do with all the jewelry I accumulated over the years. I'm pretty sure my roommates get more use out of them than I do.
