Who Let the Dogs Out?

Summer is more than halfway gone, and I am just having a hard time facing the fact that I AM GOING TO COLLEGE. Who will I be hanging out with? Who will my roommate be? What classes am I going to take? Am I going to be able to adapt to the hostile New York weather? So many questions, and so many doubts. I have been trying to pack everything into my suitcases, and it is just really difficult to decide what to bring and what to leave behind. I guess it is time to let go of some of my physical and emotional baggage. On a lighter note, I have been watching Desperate Housewives literally 24/7! That show is actually so good...it was completely different than my initial perception of it. It is like CSI...but with housewives! Anyway, I actually BROKE my camera...which sucks because that means I probably won't be able to do another outfit post until I get a new one. I have been considering buying this one with all the money I made from selling half my closet. Let me know what you guys think and please let me know if you guys have other suggestions! I thought it was about time to upgrade anyway and invest in a DSLR or a SLR to improve the picture quality on this blog. My look has also been featured on the Mens Fashion Now blog, go check it out!

This look was inspired by Givenchy's famous rottweiler shirt, and I just love the easiness the beanie adds to the outfit. I decided to dress up the look a little bit with some oxford shoes to complete the outfit. I hope everyone's summer is going fantastically, and I cannot wait to share with you guys my adventures in New York! :)

Love always,
Eric

Summertime Sadness ▲

Summer is halfway gone, and I still haven't gotten my license or a job. The heat and my laziness has taken over me and all I want to do is watch movies on my computer all day. It is very unlike me to feel this unmotivated and indifferent about everything. I guess the thought of going to college and starting life on my own has hit me a little bit, that's why all I want to do is lounge around and do nothing. I need to take advantage of the time I have left in California and actually complete all the things I was so pumped up to do at the beginning of the summer. I'm just glad I'm moving to New York, where I can get away from this crazy hot weather.

My throat is burning, I can't breathe through my nose, and I can't stop coughing. I. WANT. TO. KILL. MYSELF. I hate being sick! This BS better end before prom....I am actually really excited for prom! AP testing is pretty much the last thing I need to study before high school ends...after that, I AM DONE WITH SCHOOL. Yesterday was the last home game of the season, and I am sad to leave the team and all the people I have spent the past 4 months with during practice every day! I will miss badminton and hopefully, I will be able to play in college! Everything is official, New York it is! I am ecstatic with my decision and excited to finally be able to pursue my dreams!

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful Wednesday!

OOTD: I ♥ Cali

Prom in less than a month, graduation in two months, and then high school will come to an end FOREVER! I am excited and sad at the same time, because whichever college I decide to attend, it will be in the East Coast; far far away from home. I am looking forward to starting  a new chapter of my life in a foreign place. But I am really going to miss California and that is why I am trying to soak in the hotness, sun, and beautiful weather that we take for granted here. It hit 80 degrees today and was super humid, but considering how much snow I will be faced with in the east, I am certainly enjoying this!

Thanks for reading and I hope everyone is having a fabulous day!

The Americano trend has been a popular one for a long time, but I just wanted to bring it back today in the spirit of  the weather finally feeling more like spring. This outfit is super comfortable and casual for hanging out with friends or just school.

Met up with my best friend today to get coffee and just caught up with each other because I haven't seen him in like a month! We were sad that this may be one of the last few times we'll be able to walk aimlessly and talk and just have nothing to worry about. College is approaching and we are on the opposite side of the country in terms of the geography of the colleges we'll be attending. I look forward to college, but at the same time, I am really going to miss my friends. And as much as I hate to admit it, I think I am actually going to miss this boring old town.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

I am honestly so confused by this weather.... The weather forecast says that it is going to rain for the rest of the week in NorCal! Don't get me wrong, I'm one of those people who LOVE rain, but I am just ready to wear shorts and tanks and go to the beach!

Taking advantage of the cloudy weather again, I am bringing back my sweaters and boots again! The sweater is a new addition to my closet and I love it! This outfit is simple and perfect for school, getting coffee, or hanging out with some friends!

Thanks for reading and Happy Easter Sunday!

OOTD: Why so Blue?

I love mixing and matching different prints and materials to make my outfits unique. I have some corduroy pants on with denim material shoes and suede highlights in the cardigan. This outfit is simple but I love the different gradients of blue that make this outfit super cool! I also love the surprise factor when I turn around because the pattern in the back looks cool as well.

When I shop, I look for pieces that are unique and I think that it is the small details that count! The buttons on the collar and the elbow patches on the cardigan are all small details I pay attention to when I look for pieces that intrigue me.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope everyone is having a great week so far!
