New Boots for Fall

Steve Madden "Intyce" Boots in Cognac/ H&M Black Ankle Boots

For the fall and winter, boots are an absolute must-have! I've been looking for black ankle boots for awhile now so I was so happy when I stumbled upon this pair at H&M. With its 3 inch chunky heel, comfort doesn't have to be sacrificed for some height; pair it with some black skinny jeans and your legs will instantly look elongated. I also decided to FINALLY purchase the Steven Madden "Intyce". After years of lusting over this particular pair of boots, I figured I should just buy it since 1) it will probably never go out of style, and 2) the color "cognac" gives off a distressed look and goes with pretty much everything. The slight wedge also gives you some height, which is an added bonus. However, the leather is super fragile, making scuff marks likely inevitable. It's still a beauty, though, and  I'm super excited to incorporate these new boots into my fall/winter wardrobe!

Abandoned Road

Just a quick post before I resume my studies. It's been awhile and I apologize since it's quite hard to find  the time and appropriateness to snap some pictures; but here are a few photos I managed to take behind my new apartment. It's quite...bare and abandoned (and especially freaky at night) but that could work to my advantage because no one can see what I'm doing! Here, I'm wearing my floral shorts, which I'm trying desperately to make use of before it gets unbearably cold. Hopefully I can be more prompt with my updates in the near future. xo!

Welcome Week

 Little recap of welcome week for fall. School has just started and I'm already swamped with work, and midterms are rolling around in as little as a week. I'm trying to make the most out of these last three quarters because it is my last year of college. So far things have been fast paced, and I like it. It's going to be an especially time-consuming quarter with leadership seminars and an internship under way. It's somewhat making up for my very chill summer (oh Mexico, how I miss you!)

The pictures were taken from the Buzz, which is an event we have every year at UC Davis to welcome in the new year. It's great for freshmeat (first years and transfers) but quite boring for someone who's been here for awhile now. But since this is my last year I wanted to soak in (almost) everything. Even walking by the quad, sitting at the silo, or seeing the squirrels running around is bittersweet for me. Haha seniors...And it doesn't make me feel any better that I feel quite old compared to everyone else too.

Oh, and the last picture. It's my favorite salad at the moment. I've literally been eating this almost everyday as a snack/appetizer. It consists of sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, half an avocado, feta cheese, with an olive oil dressed up in lime juice, salt, and pepper. So simple, yet so delicious. Yum!
