Meet the Besties: Sharon's 21st Birthday!

Hi Sharon, 

Stop getting so old.

Senior? 21? What is this nonsense.

It's okay, you still look like a sixth grader. 

So far, you've aged pretty well heheh

And stop worrying about how many bridesmaids you're going to have at your wedding.

Sunny and I are all you'll ever need and more mwahah.

 jk, but seriously.

 Happy 21st Birthday derp ; >

Thank you for always being there for us when we needed you the most.

We love you to the moon and back. And more <3

샤롱 the 아줌마 생신 축하드려요ㅎ.ㅎ

아직 만으로는 21 살밖에 안됐지만 한국 나이로는 올해 내내 22살이였던거 알 지?

ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ

what's a trip to Irvine without some good food?

starting off lightly with a pretty health-conscious lunch @ Tender Greens!

backyard marinated steak x seared albacore x mint lemonade x blueberry soda

냠냠 텐더그린스

건강식으로 시작했다만....

SO MUCH FOOD...

& so much better than Panda Express...

all of this food cost a little over 10 bucks, I think.

#foodforthree

몇시간 후 바로 기름진거 먹어주는 우리ㅋㅋㅋ

얼마만에 먹는 중국 음식인지...

barley milk tea boba at Tea Station.

the best milk tea I've ever had : >

보리차 밀크티 윗 보바.

we decided to make kimchi fried rice for brunch (?)

again, #foodforthree

we finished it all.

브런치로 김치볶음밥 해먹기ㅋㅋㅋ

다먹었다는게 함정...

Since Sunny basically drove the entire weekend because of me, I decided to treat her out to some yummy dessert. 

나 때문에 벤츄라에서 샌디, 샌디에서 얼바인, 얼바인에서 샌디, 그리고 또 샌디에서 벤츄라까지... 주말 내내 운전한다고 고생한 써늬찡 ㅠㅠ

맛난거 사준다고 꼬셔서 델꼬 간 Extraordinary Dessert!

샌디에고에선 여기 모르면 간첩.

이미 소문난 디저트 카페!

Extraordinary Desserts, San Diego.

One of the bigger perks of living in SD.

예쁜 장식으로 유명한 엑스트라올디네리 디저트.

보기만해도 행복하구나 <3

Individual chocolate cake w/ berries x coffee cake x imperial earl grey tea

쪼꼬 케잌, 커피 케잌, 그리고 얼그레이 차.

I hope to see you guys in my next blog post!

Best fishes,

Sini.

Meet the Apartment: #C1K4

C1K4 = 1 Chinese, 4 Koreans.

We live in an on-campus student apartment @ UCSD.

To be honest, before this school year started, I had anxiety about living with 4 other girls.

I was worried that our different upbringings and daily routines would clash.

Nah.

I couldn't have asked for a better group of girls as apartmentmates.

Shower schedules, eating habits, make-up routines, pet peeves...

I now have a pretty good idea of each of their habits and kinks.

But none of it is burdensome.

Shinah, Lilah, Christie, and Melissa.

They're definitely one of my biggest blessings of this year : >

For this blog post, I wanted to share with you guys how beautiful and fashionable my apartmentmates are : 3 

I'd like to believe that we're a pretty trendy apartment heh..heh...no..?

Well that's awkward, because I'm about to show you our #ootd photoshoot.

Neutrals - OOTD

Hey guys! I'm back with another #ootd.

Today, I chose to create a pretty monochrome and neutral look.

I like to style neutrals with neutrals because basic color schemes, when put together, can either dress up or dress down the entire look.

For this #ootd, I chose to accessorize with various statement pieces to make it look like I put a little more effort into my overall outfit. 

Hope you enjoy~

오늘은 뉴트럴 컬러 데일리룩!

가을이라서 그런지 색체농도가 약한 색감의 옷들을 주로 입게되더라구요! 

잘못하면 밋밋해 보일 수 있는 모노크롬룩을 포인트 악세사리들로 꾸며봤어요~

Top: This taupe sweater is the perfect Summer-to-Fall transition piece. The baggy fit and the loosely woven waffle knits allow the perfect amount of air circulation throughout the day.

토프색깔 (두더지색깔? 회갈색?) 니트 스웨터. 

아직 샌디에고의 낮은 덥답니다 ㅠ.ㅠ

햇빛 쨍쨍한 20-25도를 넘나드는 샌디 오전 날씨!!

덥긴 덥지만, 니트는 입고싶고...

SO,

배기니트는 공기가 그나마 좀 잘 통해서 뜨거운 샌디에서도 입을만하답니다~

Bottoms: These black slacks are my go-to pants for both formal and casual occasions.

한국 길거리에서 산 슬랙스!

너무 편하고 만만해서 정말 잘 입고 다녀요 : >

한국 옷 짱짱 <3

I thought that the belt was appropriate because it defines my nonexistent waistline. Also, it makes the holistic look seem a little more put-together.

점점 사라져가는 허리라인 조금이라도 살려보겠다고 씨니는 오늘도 벨트를 합니다아...

Shoes: I decided to slip into my favorite pair of chunky sandals. I feel extremely powerful and badass in these shoes because of the crazy spikes on the straps. 

These sandals are definitely the edgier (literally) alternative for the Birkenstock Arizonas hehehoho

: >

뾰쪽이 샌달.

my 무기.

버켄스탁 아리조나 못지않게 편해요!

It's all about the details: statement accessories!

포인트 악세사리들!

1.) A wide-brim floppy hat adds classiness and elegance.

챙이 넓은 브림 모자. 

2.) A slouchy leather backpack balances the formal vibe of the outfit by bringing back the casualness.

최근에 훔친(?) 물려받은(?) 엄마의 그때 그 시절 잇아이템.

예전에 아빠한테 선물로 받았다던 가죽 백팩.

3.) A chunky gold necklace adds edge and character.

골드 체인 포인트 목걸이.

Outfit Details:

taupe sweater: urban outfitters

black slacks: korea

belt: goodwill

spiky sandals: nordstrom

wide-brim hat: lolo

backpack: ssamzie (hand-me-down)

chunky gold necklace: thrifted

To conclude the post...

Sini (left) / Rachel (middle) / Melissa (right)

I hope our overwhelming derpiness put a smile on your face.

해맑다면 해맑고,

바보같다면 바보같은 

씨니 & 친구들.

Hope to see you in my next post!

Best fishes,

Sini.
