Birthday!

Purple Silk Dress Elizabeth & James | Stud Belt and Spike Rings Forever 21| Black Lorissa Peep-Toe Heels Sam EdelmanHappy Birthday to Me!
I had a lovely day and evening for my 22nd birthday. I felt sophisticated and cool, and prepared to take on the new year.
During lunch, two of my coworkers treated me to some Japanese food. It was delicious and I was surprised I ate it all. I was so full, but they joked I needed the food because of all the drinking they believed would ensue later that evening.
I had a little happy hour get together with my coworkers after work, and it was so much fun! We drank some cocktails and had a lot of laughs. Luckily I do not drink too much so there was no worry of me getting sick to my stomach. It was a nice way to celebrate with my work family.
Afterwards Mando treated me to dinner at Five Restaurant, a bistro and bar that is part of the Shattuck Plaza Hotel in Downtown Berkeley. The food was excellent and I even got a free ice cream sundae for my birthday!
Pardon my photos if it seems to focus sole-y on the shoes. (Pun intended). I do love these heels and I feel slightly dangerous in them. Definitely lets loose the inner rebel like a motorcycle jacket would.
I enjoyed the hotel’s restaurant and the ambiance. I am really glad I finally had dinner here and took photos in the lobby. 
While I am sad my birthday is only celebrated for one day, it is time to enjoy the rest of this year and accomplish my birthday resolutions by this time next year!

Anna Sui x Target Dress

Blue Printed Dress Anna Sui for Target | Heart Pendant Forever 21 | Black Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve MaddenHeaded down to Salinas to spend my birthday weekend with my family. I feel like today’s outfit is especially quirky and cute. I love the blue color, and I chose it to match the frosting of the cake my mom picked up for me. 
I found this little beauty at Crossroads Trading Co. marked down. So much cheaper than when it was at Target or on Ebay. The color is so rich and the shape flatters my petite height. Anna Sui was inspired by Gossip Girl when creating this collection. I could definitely see myself wearing it walking down the streets in New York. This dress works in the winter too with black tights and black thigh high boots.

First Day of Class

Navy Cardigan Forever 21 | Red Plaid Skirt Burberry | Apple Ring Full Tilt | Gold Venus Flats CoachFirst day of class for the University, and It might sound like I am repeating Wednesday’s title, but it should probably be reversed. My outfit today is inspired by the fall, returning to school, uniforms being worn, and apples being given to teachers.
Despite giving this post a misleading title, at least the outfit can be a little bit more versatile as well. Can be worn when hanging out with friends, or at the mall shopping. This post does pay tribute to the opening in the movie Clueless where plaid is a big trend during the 90’s.

First Day of School

Black Blazer Zara Women | White Chiffon Tank Ali & Kris | Black Vest Wet Seal | Skinny Blue Jeans 7 for All Mankind | Chain Necklace and Spike Rings Forever 21Late post, I know, but I started school Wednesday night in the evening to learn more about Radiation Safety.
I tried to dress warm since I know the evenings are going to start getting colder. I used to have this big fear of the first day of school It is exciting, but at the same time your outfit sets the tone for the rest of the year (or semester). I was aiming for a pulled-together look, in classic colors, that almost indicated I was low-key, but all the detail says otherwise. 
It was a fun class, and I learned a lot for the first day. Now to power through my first homework assignment. (math problems). Wish me luck!

Yellow and Red

Black Cardigan, Red Skirt, and Ring Forever 21 | Yellow Ruffle Top  Diane Von Furstenberg | Black Ulltra Pumps Steve Madden (Similar look here)

Back to dressing up again. After two days of wearing jeans, Converse, and a T-Shirt, I felt the need to put on a skirt and look a little girly.

I was inspired by fall colors, and I ended up taking my photos by a DHL delivery truck. It was an interesting coincidence to be wearing the same colors as the truck. I would never think of wearing red and yellow together, but somehow the combination works. I used the red polka-dot details in the yellow DVF top to pair it with my red high waist skirt. Black felt like a good neutral to tie the whole look together.

Tomorrow is my first day of class in the evening, and I will need to go back to wearing pants in order to stay warm. (Boo!) At least I got to show off my legs today!
