GRACE YOURSELF

I hope you guys are staying dry and warm in this rainy season.

For those of you who are not from the area, it's been raining for the past few days here in LA.

Apparently, this week marks the beginning of El Nino, which is a storm that they've been talking about for a while. And of course, Jane showed up in clothes that are fitting for the rainy weather.

And just a quick warning, you will see some funny photos in this post.
Jane was just feeling it, namsayin?!

Plaid Shirt - Rag&Bone

Sweater - Zara

Leggings - Target

Rain Boots - Hunter

The plaid shirt that she is wearing here was featured in a previous post, HELLO DECEMBER.

You can click that link to go check out how she styled it in a chic way, which is very different from the casual styling she did in this outfit.

"Your life is now. Seize it and make it amazing. Discover your passion and pursue it. Let your heart be your guide. And above all...make every moment count."

This photoshoot was done at a friend's academy that is currently being set up. Jane's boyfriend Allan, whom I've known for 8+ years now, is setting up an academy in La Crescenta with two of his friends.

We were shopping around for things they need at Ikea and whatnot, and we found some nice decor materials. The quote I wrote above is on the black canvas and we thought it was perfect for the goal and purpose of the academy.

Jane is helping out with a lot of the decor of the place because the people starting up this academy are all guys. Nothing against guys but it is true that girls tend to be more artsy and at times more sensible when it comes to things like decorations.

I will soon share with you this new place so stay tuned and congratulate Allan and his friends for starting up AIM Academy!

It's supposed to continue raining for some time so dress warm and stay cozy.

Whip up some hot tea or some hot chocolate.

Sit back and enjoy.

Grace Yourself.

Winter season calls for knit sweaters, and you can never go wrong with a black one.

Today, I am featuring a hole-y knit that someone I know gave to me. Because of the cold weather, I layered underneath by wearing a long sleeve black shirt.

I decided to carry my charcoal cross-body with my all black outfit.

Photocreds to my coworker dongseng Becky Chun, and a shoutout to her for bearing the cold with me. I got really sick after this photoshoot and I think this is one of the reasons why she got sick too... but both of us are recovering at the moment so yay for that.

I'm in the process of growing out my hair completely, so that I can naturally go back to my natural hair color. It is taking a long time but a lot of people think that I colored my hair like this on purpose. Do you think I should re-dye my hair after I grow it out or keep my black hair for a while?

Knit Sweater - unknown

Shirt (underneath knit) - H&M

Pants - Zara

Shoes - BP. from Nordstrom

Bag - Rebecca Minkoff

I hope everyone is having an awesome Christmas Eve and MERRY (early) CHRISTMAS to you all!

School has been out for a week now but I still was so caught up with everything in life that it took a while to even get this started. I know I say this all the time but I do hope to be sharing more with you guys during break--- as that is when I typically have more time to enjoy my hobbies.

I am discovering as time goes on that Jane's closet is just amazing. There are many times when I just don't have the time to photograph her outfits, so I can't share her entire collection with you all but I am always enjoying the way she pairs her clothes together.

Wool Cardigan - Loft

Button Up Shirt - Loft

Shorts - unknown

Sheer Tights - DKNY

Long Socks - Ebay

Shoes - Dr. Martens

I don't know if you've been following up with all of Jane's features on my blog but her modeling is improving and she looks amazing. If you see her around, do give her a high five and tell her she's doing a great job!

Last one, because I can't say no to cute photos. (:
