Outfit of the Day: Silver Bear

My bed is hardly cozy but yesterday morning, I woke up wanting to sleep some more. I know it's because I haven't been getting enough sleep now that school is back up but at the same time, it's because it had this very comforting warmth. I didn't want to go to school but I know I have to so I dragged myself out and got ready. I wanted to feel like I'm still wrapped with my fluffy sheets but I'm never the kind to head over to class in my PJs so I slipped on the new H&M sweater that I got from the clearance section with an additional half off at an in-store sale in Hollywood. Used the gift card that Q's dad gave me for Christmas too so I didn't even have to pay for anything!

A girl in class loved my pants and asked me where I got it but I honestly can't remember. I knew that I got it from one of those Asian fashion sites but it looked so much better in the photos that when I received it, I wasn't so happy with what I got. That's probably why I chose to forgot about that online store entirely. I tend to give second chances if I remember to give one. Haha.

Anyways, I succeeded in feeling comfortable without looking like I just fell off of my bed. If this is your definition of looking "nice", it's not so hard after all!

Outfit of the Day: Space Flower

About three weeks ago, I attended a red carpet screening at Downtown Independent so I dressed up a bit. Yeah, this is my attempt at being fabulous. 

I wanted to wear some heels with the dress just to look a bit official but it was cold and I really enjoyed the Star Trek-ish cut of this scuba knit dress so I thought that I should just wear my knee-high boots to play up that look and also take advantage of the few remaining cold days that we're going to have here in California.

Photo credit to my awesome friend Ray for taking this photo for me. I can't imagine anybody else taking my OOTD photos now. Hahaha.

Gifts from Japan!

I missed her so much that I'm just glad to have her back. She really didn't need to do this but it really warmed my heart that she shopped for me. Thank you so much again, Mochijam!

Syzygy goes to Alcove Café and Bakery!

We arrived around 2PM and we weren't sure where to park so we just paid for valet parking. We expected it to be packed but eventually, we realized that we actually came at a good time since it just got busier and busier. (Read more...)

Syzygy is now live!

Brought together by the harsh circumstances of college life, my friends, Riselle and Alessia, and I now proudly presents Syzygy!

I'm still keeping this blog but at Syzygy, we hope to deliver more content to you! For now, we plan it to be a journal blog of our adventures but we'll see how this pans out. Thanks for the support everyone!

Kinokuniya + Anime Jungle Haul!

I enjoyed doing my last haul video so here's another one! I don't think I have shared my animé fangirl side to you all but I'm throwing it out there now because you'll be seeing more of it! 

I also do toy reviews at my other blog Toy Meets Girl. Thank you so much as always for the support and hope you all enjoy my stuff!

Outfit of the Day: Raspberry Mocha

Contrary to my last OOTD post, I attempted for some color in this outfit. I put this together last year as well, around the time that the semester was ending and we were wrapping up by finishing our final project for Typography class. I was redesigning the Pop-Tarts packaging from childish to environment-friendly and modern so my project consisted of neutrals and splashes of color to indicate the flavor. I would link it here but I'm working more to improve it and I rather show it off once I'm happy with it. 

Anyways, I found myself unconsciously putting together earthy colors accented with a lively color.

Again, I worked with my friend Ray for these photos. He would tell jokes or tolerate silence at the right moments to encourage natural poses and expressions. I totally did not know what I was doing but he totally knows how to work with my awkwardness. Hahaha. 

I really wish I could wear these boots a lot more. I'm in-love with how they look and I had them for a while now but I feel really self-conscious wearing them. The tongue doesn't stay in place very well (as you can see in the picture above where the tongue of my right boot slid to the side). On top of that, the material is still pretty stiff and it makes this squeaky sound when I walk. Hahaha. I thought it'll loosen up after a few days of usage but they didn't. I'll keep trying though. Maybe wear them some place where it's loud and no one has to know that they make weird noises. Hahaha.

UNIQLO Haul!

I'm really happy with what I got. In fact, I went back today to get my mom an Ultra Light Down Parka as well since it's on sale for $49.90 when it's usually $89.90! 

Also, here's some posts with pictures of the American Eagle Outfitters Hollister Abercrombie & Fitch jacket I was talking about: Birthday Trip to Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row.

Outfit of a Day: Salander

Found myself wearing pants this whole week which reminded me of this outfit that I put together last year! If anyone goes to my school, you're most likely to catch me in something like this as I feel most comfortable being a stressed out college kid in this ensemble.

Some might say that this might have been Lisbeth Salander-inspired and I will definitely take that as a compliment. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of my favorite movies and Lisbeth Salander is one of my life goals. Hahaha. I'm more than honored to have my outfit reflect her style.

I have my good friend Ray to thank for these photos. He really knew how to make me look good! Hahaha. I've never been more comfortable staging and getting some photos taken. I'm looking forward to working with him a lot more!
