This has become one of my favorite sweaters! It's actually my grandma's sweater! After she moved in with us  a few weeks ago, she brought luggages and luggages of truly vintage clothes! Most of the clothes had been hers since the 50's, and some of them belong to my mom's, since probably the 80's-90's. I had a fun time picking out pieces that I liked and I still haven't gone through everything! Isn't that amazing? But, the urge to shop hit me, too, and I bought a pair of Seychelles flats, a Harper's Bazaar book, and tons of things from Urban Outfitters (like a floral wall decal, haha). Unfortunately, I'm a broke college student now, so I need to be really careful with my money, especially since one of my friends has winter classes, and wants me to go dorm with her for a week! That'd be so much fun. Hopefully, she'll decide to dorm and I'll get to go explore the town and take scenic pictures and everything. Especially since I know you're all sick of my photos inside. It's not as pretty as outside. And the lighting sucks.

And I don't know if this applies to everyone, but I don't go back to school until the 31st (YES!). If you're back at school already, I send my condolences. However, I'm getting cabin fever. I need to get rid of this cold and get out of my house, fast!

Outfit Details:

printed cardigan - my grandmother's

floral dress - Forever 21

brown belt - Urban Outfitters

gray tights - American Eagle Outfitters

brown flats - Arturo Chiang

day 3 | 365

day three out of three hundred sixty five.

I'm sort of torn between two things and I'd really like for you guys to give me an opinion!
As you can see, I'm doing this 365 project, but I'm not sure if I should keep uploading
my posts on here, or if I should have a separate blog for them (which I do, click here for it).
Right now, I'm doing both, but I feel like you guys might not really care that much about
this/it makes it harder for you guys to find my outfit posts. So, I'd really like some feedback
on this. Thanks a billion! You guys are the best. ♥

Happy New Years, everyone!

If you can't read my atrocious handwriting, it says:

I want to wish everyone a happy new year! May you accomplish all your resolutions & start over new!

Love, Julia Leung

This was a great year, and hopefully, a year from now, I'll still be running this blog! Thank you so much for all your supportive comments, everyone. I really appreciate my audience and I definitely need to shower you all with love and cookies!

recap and resolutions.

I know it's only been five months of blogging, but this is a serious milestone for me, you guys! I've always started up blogs, but I never really stuck with them. After about a week, I'd always die off. But so far, this blog has become my little (sometimes neglected) baby. I love looking back at the months that past and going, "I forgot I had that item in my closet!" or "I have no idea what to wear today, so I'll just rewear this outfit...again...for the fiftieth time!"

Good news is that I found my old glasses while I was just rummaging around the house today! I know, they're really granny-like and they do nothing for my face, but I LOVE THEM. And this is what I wear on the weekends, haha! Well, today, specifically (even though there are people coming over and I should really get dressed into something better than my PJs). A Looney Tunes sweatshirt and PJ bottoms! I know, it's so "in" right now. I should be in Vogue...JUST KIDDING.


I figured that I have about three resolutions for 2011. I mean, resolutions should be realistic and something that gets you motivated - mentally, emotionally, or even physically, haha. So, mine are:

1. Be more consistent with my blogging/outfits. That means updating more instead of waiting for a lazy day at home to finally write a post.
2. Start and complete a 365 Day project on my Flickr. (Which will basically be one photo for one day for one year!)
3. Read more! I used to be able to read about 20 books in a month, but that's dwindled down to about...zero books a month, haha, excluding all the reading I do for school. I really miss reading and I know I might be the only one who thinks this but I don't really like the whole ebooks thing. I think to really fully appreciate and enjoy the whole act of reading is to be able to hold a book and flip the pages and smell the smell of books! I know, poor trees. :(

So, what are your resolutions for the new year?

feasting forever!

feasting forever!

OH HELLO BLOGGERS. Right, so holiday festivities and family bonding and all that! I promise I'll catch up (sooner or later) on my posts. I mean, I totally have an awesome post about the snowstorm that hit us. I always feel bad I never blah about my day on the same day, but I find that really hard for me. I'm always so lazy tired after all the festitivies!

I wore this outfit on Christmas Day! YAY. I felt like a candy cane, but I think that was the whole point. You know, being festive and all. Our dinner was delicious! I mean, I totally didn't even take enough pictures because I was too busy gorging myself on the food, but it was all homemade and wonderful. After dinner, we just all sat around and talked and (finally) watched Inception. And IT WAS AWESOME. Was it just me that had a crazy awesome dream that night after watching that movie? I was totally trying to figure out what level I was on and what my kick was, haha.

(Left to Right: the christmas card i made for my parents, our food baking in the oven, melon & prosciutto appetizer)

I hope everyone had a great festive time! I know it's almost the end of the year and it's kind of really weird that the year went by so quickly. So much has changed in my life, I feel like I should do one of those blogger recap of the year posts with my favorite outfit from each month or something and talk about my resolutions (1) uhhh be nice to my brothers, 2) lose weight (just kidding. this is impossible!)) and share my sentiments. Which I totally will do. I PROMISE. Because it's not like I have any cool plans for New Year's Eve. I hate being 18! I can't go out and have drinks and party (legally in the U.S, anyways) and fun like all the cool adults!
