Spring Break 2013

It's amazing how fast time goes by when you're on vacation. For my friends and I, it's been a long process leading up to this trip. What I would give to go back... Coming home is just so sad, having to face the real world again. This break was definitely a trip of a lifetime.

Styling: Disco Pants

Sweater - H&M
Scarf - Aritzia
Disco Pants - American Apparel
Loafers - Zara
Ring - Ebay

One of my all time favourite purchases this season is my beloved disco pants. I was eyeing them for months before finally succumbing to my perpetual need for more high-waisted pieces. They're made from a thick nylon material with a beautiful sheen and come in a variety of colours. The pockets and zipper detailing provide the functionality of pants with the comfort of leggings. It's a perfect match with anything cropped.

I strongly advocate that LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS.

OOTD: Chambray & Knits

T-shirt - Joe Fresh
Chambray Blouse - H&M
Jeans - H&M

Sweater - Thrifted
Leggings - Lululemon

Freedom, it pretty sums up what I have now. I've officially retired from high school as of 10:40 this morning, after my final calculus exam. It's definitely a sigh of relief, knowing that there's some time to spare before heading off to university. I want to spend these months getting in tune with my creative side, more art, fashion and travel. Hopefully this marks the beginning of many new experiences.

These are some snapshots of my lazy day outfits during exam week. I always found it fascinating how much a person's style can change over time. Looking through someone's OOTDs is like reading their life story, it reveals so much through brief glimpses. Beyond the aesthetics, personal style is unmistakably reflective of our own character. I'm a firm believer that an outfit is worth far more than a thousand words. So I'm ready to build and share my own fashion archive.

Cheers,

A Month Through Instagram

Fave arm combo.

Best friend's design

Ayce sushi with my bff

My girls back from uni.

It has literally become a part of my routine, I always feel the need to post on instagram (just a slight obsession). Basically I document whatever stands out to me that day, an outfit, a dinner or just a group shot with my friends. This is basically my last couple of weeks through pictures. 

First is my absolute favourite jewelry combo, a statement watch with a pyramid chain bracelet. It eliminates the bulk caused by stacking multiple bracelets on each arm. Then in the second, I was wearing one of my favourite sweaters designed by my best friend, Vanessa. It was a really exciting Christmas present for me to receive. The next is of my bff on our dinner+shopping date, clearly we're big fans of ayce sushi. Lastly, I posted a group shot with my friends back from university (missing a few). It was great catching up with them, especially since we're all scattered across the country. 

And now, I'm back to studying for exams. Wishing you guys all the best!

Cheers,

J

Artsy High School Finals

(Queue scarcasm) Woo, exam week!

I never thought the end of high school would come so fast. Just two more weeks and I get to go experience the real world (until university that is). Seven months of work and travelling, definitely something to look forward to. But before all that, I still have two long exam weeks and finals.
