rings of saturn

I was mentally cursing myself when I was editing these photos; I don't know why, while wearing a t-shirt make-shift dress, that I would take these photos from that angle. I promise you that in real life it's not as short as it looks!
I can't think of any news (...the weather has been nice?) but knowing me there's probably nothing much but the occasional rant and instances of my lazy disposition but anyway, I hope you've all been enjoying a more exciting week!

Oh and as for the title, the book I'm currently reading (a.k.a speed reading and cutting to the vip parts) is Rings of Saturn by W.B. Sebald. If you're reading a book or have any recommendations, let me know!

MAUS

I don't have a lot of time on my hands right now - I'm still in the middle of writing a law essay actually - but I wanted to post asap. The book this week - MAUS by Art Spiegelman. Well, actually, it's a graphic novel aka. comic book. Spiegelman retells his father's stories of life during World War II and his life in the Auschwitz camps. That's a very short description that really doesn't do it justice but you really have to give it a read! The comic style makes it very easy to engage with and it's just not like other books written about the Holocaust. Can't exactly get into too much depth here because I might bore you with a post-modern analysis but I recommend this to everyone. Really. It's so moving and interesting; and you can finish it within a day.

Sidenote: I'm wearing heels in these photos...wuuuut. Let me know what you think!

atonement

For the lack of current inspiration, I've decided to name the next few posts after the title of the book I'm reading. This way, people will look at the post and think 'Atonement? What's atonement got to do with an outfit post? Is she trying to be all deep!?' this, of course, will lead to an inevitable click of curiosity and voila! they're now a reader of my blog. That's genius self-marketing right there. 

But this doesn't mean that I've finished the previous book when I write a new post since I'm currently reading 3-4 books at the same time (English-literary-student-problems ay?). I'm halfway through 'Atonement' and so far so good! (Briony is a pain in the ass though amiright?) But alas, I'm taking a break from it and have started the next one...which you shall know from the title of the next post (..you see?).

p.s. Sorry that the colours are a bit off here, editing was a pain because despite going out around golden hour I was having some problems with the shade (evident from the one patch of sunshine) and I was rushing! If you didn't notice then none of this happened...carry on.

bare hands

Finally, outdoor photos! It was actually absolutely freezing when I took these, I think my hands were as white as *insert metaphor here*. I guess I have nothing else to say except that I'm back to college and the amount of work that I have to do has sunk in but hasn't taken effect yet.

cut-out heart

I'm not really one for polka-dot dresses or heart-shaped cut-outs but after scouring through town with my sister trying to find a suitable interview outfit, we settled on this dress. I wore it with a blazer, pointy flats and nice little leather bag. I wanted to recreate the outfit but I didn't have the blazer or more accurately, I gave it back to my sister (hehe); and so I decided just to dress it down. 

Anyway, February is almost upon us and that means college starts again (... all too soon).

And in case you were wondering, the interview went pretty well; I came out feeling satisfied with my answers (although a few questions stumped me) but not gonna get my hopes up too high just in case. Fingers crossed!

ERASE

So, that essay I was talking about in this post? Well, it's finished and now I've fallen into a slump of sleeping in, skipping lectures and constant lazy hair days. But tomorrow's Monday which means a fresh start! And speaking of fresh starts, my closet is in desperate need of one. What were once my favourite sweaters and tees are now dull and living a lonely existence on the upper clothes rack. They're in perfect condition though which makes me think I could sell them? You know, give them a better home. It's what they deserve.

wasteland

2,500 word essay due on Wednesday, currently on 700 and it looks like it's going to stay that way for the night. If you've read 'The Waste Land' by T. S. Eliot you will literally understand the nightmare that is trying to write an essay on it because the whole time you're just screaming internally, 'there's too much going on!!'. But bravo Eliot because the poem also makes you think 'holy crap' in the most wow-this-guy-can-write-I-suck kind of way.

In case you didn't notice, I did indeed cut these culottes myself from some Forever 21 pants, kinda crappy job but its all good!

안녕하세요! / Lonely

I should just rename my blog to "Once again, I'm sorry I haven't posted in ages, I've been super busy with college and the weather's being a b*tch". I'll admit that when it's been more than a week and I fall out of the blogging routine, I get a little lazy (a lot lazy). But seriously, being in my last year of college is already so stressful (so many cases in Law, so many readings in English - to which everyone will say 'duh'). On another note, 안녕하세요! Hehe, yes that's Korean and since the start of October I've been diligently learning it (a.k.a. procrastinating) simply because I found this Kpop band I like (B1A4), then my sis said there was an infographic to learn the Korean alphabet in 15mins (yes, really) and so I did, but it felt wrong to end it there!

Also, at the end of this post is my absolute favourite song at the moment by B1A4 (I love CNU)...just give it a try, 감사합니다!

Oh my god, I almost forgot to mention that on my birthday I had a major haircut! I now have an undercut on the sides and back of my head; I wasn't planning on it but the hairdresser offered and I happily accepted - I like change.

p.s. if you're a Korean speaker looking for an English buddy, hit me up or any Koreans/Korean-learners email me :)

Back to School

Let me rephrase: back to waking up at 6:30, not getting up till 7, commuting, lectures, tears, assignments, exams...and more tears - metaphorical tears but hey, who knows what the year holds? But yes, college started back up today and I am not exaggerating when I say I feel and felt no desire to be back. I'd also usually put a bit more effort into my overall look but I was perfectly happy in this outfit - simple and comfy. Ahh I'm definitely not ready to throw myself into the books! So many mixed feelings but that's another days post. The best thing about being back? I get to wear this bag that my stepmom bought me as an early birthday present. It's the perfect size for notebooks and my laptop aaaand I'm also just a sucker for satchels in general. By the way, my birthday's on Thursday which means I'll be expecting some chocolate and cards in the post ;)

p.s. I'm loving my new Nike Free Runs! I unapologetically splurged almost an entire week's paycheck on them. It's comfy shoe heaven. Worth. Every. Penny.

Crash and Restore

You know what's worse than having your laptop crash while you're in the middle of work? Having your laptop crash and being forced to restore factory settings...albeit before you've had a chance to back-up anything. To state the obvious, that's exactly what happened to me. All my music, photos, college work, inspiration pictures, photography and random tidbits are all GONE. I've had a few different things stored on dropbox and google drive so that's some consolation but there's no hiding the fact that I spent the whole day (ok, at least 7+ hours) re-downloading all my music; luckily my desperate plea was answered by my lovely big sis who sent me huge album bundles. Is it weird that I'm super sulky over the fact that my itunes play count has been resetted? I don't know about you but I take pride in the 300+ times I've played 'Sure Thing' (Miguel Cover) by Trails and Ways.

On a fashion-related note, I'm really on a roll with food-baby friendly clothes which is just perfect for winter.

Dernière Danse

If we're going to personify clothes, then I would say smock dresses are my best friends: I don't get sick of them, they're comfy (friends can be comfy) and due to the baggy waistline (can you describe waistlines as baggy?) they don't reject me if I indulge in too much dessert. On a different and very familiar note, it's been awhile since I've done an outfit post and that always results in me suddenly forgetting that I do have control of my limbs and so, I can't remember what exactly to 'do' in front of the camera. Thank goodness for the copious amounts of shots taken.

Also: new shades! (finally.)

note to self: don't wear a very crumpled, low-neck cami under this dress while taking photos.

LUNA

(H&M crop top, aldo shoes)

I PASSED MY EXAMS! Checking my results online was probably the most anti-climatic moment ever: I waited and waited, the site crashed so I decided to watch netflix; then 2 hours later I checked and the word PASS appeared on screen. And that was it. I was also home alone so there wasn't really a screaming jumping up and down moment - just relief. 

Hope you're all well!

little pouch

 (H&M top, forever 21 pants, zara sandals, vintage phone pouch)

Is this pouch not the cutest thing ever?! My sister got it for me while travelling around South East Asia but it's been stowed away in my drawers for 3 years! Lately with the warm weather I just really want to wear light clothes and the same goes for accessories; friends and family know I hate carrying things around like big hand bags so this little pouch is perfect but warning: you may look like a tourist sometimes. 

Side note: my roots need some major attention.

Hope you're all well,
