6 Years and Friday's Fancies!

TGIF Everyone!!

Today is a very special day for me because it is my 6th year anniversary with my boyfriend! Yup 6 years! I can't really believe it either. We've been dating since high school and all through college.

back in high school

So after school we are going out to dinner at Duke's Huntington Beach. Dukes is a really nice restaurant which we both went to in Honolulu a year ago and loved it so we are going to try one closer. Of course we'd much rather go to Hawaii but we'll have to wait on that one :-p

I really can't image my life without him and love the relationship that we have made and can't wait to see what our future together holds. Hopefully a ring soon... **cough cough**

So in honor of our date night tonight, my Friday's Fancies outfit linking up with {av} from {longdistanceloving} is based off of what kind of outfit I wish I had in my wardrobe.

I know this outfit is more of a summer outfit but the weather has been nice in Orange County this week so this will do! And the restaurant is on the beach so I'm trying to channel the island theme since I'll be Hawaii. lol.

The outfit puts together one of my favorite color combos and I love the shoes. I do wish I found a suitable belt for the outfit but none that I saw on Polyvore was a perfect fit to me.

What are you all up to this weekend?! Any specially plans?

Pins: Style Envy

This weeks collection of pins actually have a theme for once! Yay and it's about Style!

Some people just have it! They can effortlessly throw something together and look amazing while if I tried the same thing I'd look like frumpty-dumpty!

Here are some inspiring pictures of the style I wish I could emulate(successfully).

Anyone feel the same way? What kind of style do you wish you could pull off?

If you have this coveted style, what's your secret?!

Wishlist

Hi everyone! I can't believe I missed Friday's Fancies last week! :( I totally put off writing a paper that was due Friday so unfortunately my favorite post of the week got neglected. I hope you all can forgive me.

Since being in school I've been missing out on some vary important things!
 -Reading all of your blog's posts. I feel so deprived.
-Biggest Loser!

I'm still so upset that school work got in the way of watching the Biggest Loser Premiere last week. Anyone addicted to that show like me?! Hopefully I can watch it this week but I have my first midterm coming up so we will see...

-SHOPPING(and spending money)!!
I really do miss shopping and being able to spend money on things I want. I don't really consider buying scalpels for anatomy lab very fun.

If I was working and able to spend money on things here is a list of things on my wish list at the moment.

1. None of you should be surprised that something from Lululemon is on my list. I really really want a Scuba hoodie because it's getting colder and they are so comfortable. I bought a Define jacket before school and have been loving it so next thing is a heavier jacket for winter and the freezing classrooms.

2. I really want some good looking, classy rain-boots. When it rains I always seem to look like a bum with no style(or a mirror) when it rains during school I think it's because I don't have rainboots that are versatile. When I saw these Hunter Boots from Nordstrom I knew I'd love them. Now I want them. And still can't buy them.

3. Yes, I'm lame. I want a new backpack to fit a bunch of stuff in. Dakine has some really nice ones, including some that fit a computer in. I don't take my computer to school right now because my current backpack won't fit it.

4. I posted about this watch about a week ago and still can't get it off my mind. I'm really hoping Santa thinks I've been a good to girl so I can have this beauty in my stocking...then on my wrist.

5. Don't laugh but I wish I could afford to buy Starbucks often and even second guess it like I used to. I decided that I deserve to treat myself to one a week on a day when I really need it like Thursday or Friday. The on campus Starbucks is super expensive too! What the heck?!

Did you have a good weekend? Anything on your wish list?!

Friday's Fancies: Game Day Chic

Happy Friday everyone!! We made it another week! Can you believe half of September is gone already?!

Today I'm linking up with {av} at {long distance loving} again for Friday's Fancies. This week's theme is game day chic! Normally I wouldn't get too excited about this theme, since I'm not a football fan(**gasp**) but now that I go to a school with a decent team I actually know a thing or two. Just only 1 thing or 2, that's it!

Now, I know USC is in trouble with NCAA and we don't have any bowl games this year (that's the 1st thing I know) but it's still better than Cal Poly's team! And we won the past two home games(that's the 2nd thing I know).

So in honor of a decent team here is my outfit of the week. I know it's not crazy with USC pride but if I went to a game I wouldn't paint my face or anything so this outfit actually fits what I would wear.

I need to invest in some Trojan gear and buy those shoes while I'm at it. I think the shoes and scarf dress up the outfit a little.

Are you a big football fan? Who's your favorite team?

My MK obsession

One of favorite go-to, and almost affordable designers is without a doubt Michael Kors. Even as a pre-teen I loved his adds in Vogue and his pieces. Most All of my designer shoes are either MK or Stuart Weitzmen. I blame my mom for getting me started young on good quality shoes. Granted, I don't wear them a ton, but all are cute and comfy(most from Nordstrom Rack, SCORE!).

So it's no surprise that I still have a love for MK but until recently I haven't been a huge fan of his watches. Alot of people have them and they are pretty but they haven't really spoken to me.

UNTIL, I saw this beauty in the Nordstrom catalog! I. WANT. NOW!

 I never really thought I'd like a brown watch but I love the chocolate color of this one.

What are your thoughts? Like MK watches? Or are you over them?

TGIF!!

Thank goodness it's finally Friday!! This week has sure been long! Has it been the same for you? I don't think I could be more excited that it's Friday! Yay Friday!

I've been very thankful for being active in blogging during school because it's really given me an outlet for creativity because I feel like I'm bombarded with science all day long. Not that it's a bad thing, and I really like what I'm learning but I like to stare at clothes and DIY projects online from time to time instead of a cadaver's bootayyy!

So to get my creative juices flowing I modeled this week's Friday's Fancies after the outfit below.

What drew me to the outfit was the contrast between the masculine military jacket and the femininity of the poofy skirt. Put those two together and BAM! It's Fashion!

I really really want this outfit! I think the key is a well made jacket. For Christmas my mom got a military jacket from H&M which was cute, but not well made. It didn't fit well, hang well, or have any structure so I returned it. If it was like the one above, that would be a different story.

I think the shoes are also an interesting choice because they wouldn't seem like they'd work to me but once I had the outfit put together I couldn't think of any other type of shoe.

I am at a loss for what accessories though. I couldn't find a purse or even jewelry that I liked with the outfit. A nice gold watch would be nice, but not too big like those massive watches out there.

Onto another topic...Anyone effected by the massive power outage in Southern California and Arizona? Some power was out in the lower half of Orange County but stopped right before my town. Phheewssh! I was afraid I'd be stranded on the train somewhere. Hopefully I'll be able to get on the train tomorrow morning for school or else I'll have to drive. The drive there isn't bad but I don't want to drive home from LA at 5pm on a Friday...

Any plans for the weekend?! So far mine aren't too exciting but I think next weekend will be better. I'm planning on going to my first tailgate with the USC DPT department! Should be fun after a long week of school.

Fav Pins of the Week

Is it really Wednesday? Thank goodness!! Even though I've only been through one school day this week, it was tough. Yesterday was so exhausting for me.

It's like I never even had a long weekend. I really wanted to get out a workout in but was too tired. Don't you hate that?! I needed 2 coffees and a diet coke today....It was that bad!

To help cheer me up and wake me up(and possibly the same for you), here are some of my favorite pins of the week.

It's the truth!!





Anyone else's week dragging on? I love long weekends but they make the real week suck.

At least today I'll only be in the cadaver lab for 2 hours, instead of 4 like last Friday.

Pumpkin!!!

In honor of nearly every blogger's favorite fall drink making its annual debut today, I decided to do another post inspired by taste/color.

Now let's not all rush to Starbucks all at once, that line would be wayyyyy to long!

Here are some pictures of all things pumpkin, including color, taste, appearance.

Anyone else going to Starbucks today? The pumpkin spice latte coming back today pretty much marks the beginning of Fall.

And even better, it means that it's even closer to when the Starbucks red holiday cups coming!!!!

I hope you all had a great Labor day!

Hooray for a Long Weekend!!

Another week has come to an end! And luckily the end of this week brings an long weekend!! I don't have school Monday!! Yippee! 3 days of sleeping in for me :)

I know it's totally shallow to be excited for a holiday for the sake of no school but just admit it you were too!

So in honor of labor day, I'm linking up again for Friday's Fancies and created an end of summer outfit! I really wish I could be rocking this look at the beach somewhere but in reality I'll probably studying somewhere. Boo! :(

This should come as no surprise to you that I picked this color combo. It screams summer and ocean breezes. I love the flowyness of the top and the turquoise stones on the shoes and ring. A bit matchy matchy but I like it :) Then with the clutch and straw fedora...*sigh*

In other news, my mom broke her tibia and fibula on Thursday from tripping in super unstable heels. I've told her not to wear these particular heels because she doesn't know how to walk in them. Luckily for me, I learned how to teach people how to walk with crutches in school last week so she will be my practice patient for a while. She will be seeing an orthopedist in the morning so we'll see what the verdict is.

I know this picture isn't the greatest but you can see a thin dark line in the left bone(Tibia) and there is another similar line on the right bone(fibula) that is harder to see with this picture(it's a picture of a photocopied x-ray).


What are you doing this long weekend? Any fun plans? Don't wear huge heels whatever you do!

Happy Pinning!

It's finally Wednesday!! I think I'm really going to like Wednesdays for the next few weeks because I get to SLEEP IN til 7:30!!! Wooohooo! It's funny how 1 week of grad school can make 7:30 "sleeping in." Only one 4 hour lecture today!! :-)

So because it's Wednesday it's ofcourse Oh so Pinteresting Wednesday and the first 2 pins is very near and dear to my heart so I hope you enjoy. It's especially special (lol?) now because I can't make it through my 7:30 am classes without none other than COFFEE!!! FYI, I used to be a Garfield and Get Fuzzy addict back in high school.
