Hi friends.
After feeling the impending doom of finals and considering my growing concern for my academic welfare, I’ve decided to take a brief hiatus from blogging.
But worry not! Freedom is only a mere two weeks away and I will be back in full force when this cramming chaos is all over. Thanks for your support and I’ll be back soon!

If I had to pick a favorite season, it would definitely be spring. Besides the return of pastels and Peeps, this season is marked by gorgeous flowers, breezy weather (sometimes interrupted by unexpected showers), and outdoor festivities. All the while, I can’t help but get inspired by the vibrant colors that define this time of year.
Here are a few of my favorite pics. Enjoy!

It’s easy to fall into a habit of wearing monotone outfits at the office, but I love the challenge of incorporating my personal style into the work week. Ever since I misplaced my favorite charcoal gray skirt (seriously, I feel like a lost a little part of me with it missing), I’ve had to conjure up some new work appropriate looks.
By now, you know that my personal dress code mandates the use of color and there’s no better way to satisfy that requirement than with a few jewel-toned pieces contrasted against a crisp, white button-up. The tote is one of my favorite bags because it incorporates even more colors while being sturdy enough to carry all of my school/work/personal necessities (which usually include a pair of flip flops for more serious walking distances).
I definitely encourage you to incorporate your personal style into your work wear, but if you’re starting a new job, get a feel for the office before you don anything flashy. When I first started my current job, I suited completely up, slacks (bleh) and all. After a while, I got to know my co-workers and they got to know me — professionally and then stylistically.
