LemonAmy Day

Here are some photos from my date with Amy from Vagabond Youth. She's the cutest quirkiest girl I've met! We're both from the same hometown area and now live in Westwood where we attend UCLA.  It's been long overdue, but we finally decided to meet for lunch at my favorite spot in West LA. The refreshing taste of all the salads along with my tangy Peach Ginger lemonade was so satisfying. Amy and I enjoyed our lunch along with constant chatter about our personal lives. Surprisingly, we have a lot in common! There definitely will be more dates to come!!

BBQ & Flannels

If you haven't been to M-Grill in Los Angeles, it's one of the few brazilian bbq places we have here. Everyone should go soon because it's 25% off all of September...and let me tell you; It's Worth It. 

My boyfriend and I sped on over to Koreatown to make it there for lunch and luckily enough we got there with 10 minutes left. I definitely made out with the Parmesan Picanya...I'm drooling just thinking about all that flavor.

Here I'm wearing my new white crop top from F21 paired with my favorite jean shorts. These jean shorts definitely mean A LOT to me because they were my moms! I found it in her closet laying in an old box. They definitely had been a staple in my mom's wardrobe back in the day because the leg of the jeans had turned a weird color and had so many holes. I asked her if I can hack off the legs and wear them and she graciously gave them to me! ^^

Rollercoasting

Lotte world, seriously a korean form of Disneyland. Everyone here has a smile on their face, walking around excited to ride the next ride...except me of course. I absolutely hate rollercoasters. People die on them. They're way too fast and I hate that butterfly feeling one gets when speeding downhill into a drop of death. I do not get the "thrill" others seem to enjoy. However, since I am getting older, I felt that it's only normal to get over your childhood fears. Therefore, yes I rode them. I had mixed emotions. Yes, I felt the thrill, and Yes it was kind of fun, but I don't think I'd volunteer myself to go to Six Flags anytime soon.

The weather was blazing hot. It was humid and my head was hurting from seeing so many cheesy "couple tee's" everywhere. I guess it's a korean thing where you MUST wear matching shirts with your significant other when coming to Lotte world. Some people took it to an extreme. I see grown men walking around in a Rhinestoned YSL t-shirt and bright printed pants that their girlfriends are also wearing...like really? haha

Since the weather was extra unbearable, I decided to dress somewhat "cool" today. I wore my thrifted Hawaiian print top and paired it with the ever so famous Zara skort. I love how the classy "sleekness" of the skort balances out the super casual vibe the top gives. It makes my top look a little more expensive than what I bought it for, doesn't it?? haha (*I bought this shirt for $3 dollars!) 

Anyways, I'm probably never going to get used to the weather here:( The humidity ruins my hair and makes me look like an old korean lady...aka 아줌마 (Ahjummah).

Studying at my apartment ends up being an epic fail. My roommate and I always end up going to either Starbucks, K-town, or Volcao Tea house. We pretend we're like super hipsters studying at cafe's and shit, but in reality, we're just on facebook and sipping on our caffeinated drinks. Because lately, Starbuck's internet has been slacking we decided to go to our usual Volcano Tea House. The internet is great, and it's pretty empty during the day. My roommate and I concluded that when the sun is up this boba house is crawling with the whitest of white people and when the moon rises, Asians magically crowd the area.  

Today's outfit centered around my mood. LAZY AS SHIT. Because my whole outfit was as dark as the sky, I wanted to add a pop of color and my beanie did just that. Mustard yellow is one of my favorite colors...maybe it's because I can literally eat mustard with anything. These disco pants added a certain edge especially paired with my black Nike Frees. I realized wearing running shoes with REAL outfits is like the new thing, and I guess I joined that bandwagon. Who knew gym wear would become the new fad?? 

Shoutout to all the UC students out there. Finals can suck a....(insert word choice here)

Channeling my inner Beetlejuice

Wearing monotone colors with a bright lip is something that I lean towards to when I really have no idea what to wear that day. Crawling out of bed and peering out the window, the sky looked sad and gray, so naturally I went to the "black" side of my wardrobe. This striped vest dress ensemble is the remainders of a long sleeve maxi dress. I pretty much altered the bottom and hacked the sleeves off b/c wearing the original dress made me look like a zebra and I ain't about that life. O.o
