Topshop Lookbooks - Spring Edition

Topshop is one of my favorite labels, but it is indeed hella expensive. So I was looking around Polyvore and experimenting on sets, when I just decided to make a Topshop-exclusive lookbook. Or three.

2015 so far

Page 38 of 365. Wow, it's been a month and almost a half and 2015 already feels like a great year ahead. A few days ago, I found my old Muji journal and in it, I stumbled upon my 2014 New Year's Resolutions. I am glad to say that I've accomplished about 99% of what I had written. These resolutions consisted of getting a laptop and an iPhone (check, check); it even included seeing One Direction and being consistently happy (check on MARCH 22, check-ish).

So far, my January has been great and all of my endeavours really paid off. This year, my goal is to be stronger; both mentally and physically. I have a bad habit of getting easily disappointed and I want to change that this year. In a span of 38 days, I've gotten to know really great people and I couldn't be more content with my life. When I look back at my life and all of the times I've asked God why some circumstances happen to me, it all comes together in the future. If not now, then soon you will realize that things really do happen for a reason

Hopefully, I get to channel this contentment and spread it to other people. The moment of fulfilment I felt when I accomplished by 2014 goals was indescribable; it made me realize that things really do take time and that patience is key. I'm learning to appreciate the little things in life and this time, I won't let go of the things that make me happy.

I will embrace 2015 with open arms, and hopefully you guys do too. Let's make the most out of every minute.

What Animated Movies Have Taught Me

I am a huge fan of animated movies because they play with whimsy and imagination, but at the same time they can be pretty sentimental. This was a long, overdue post that's been sitting in my drafts for quite a long time, but it's finally debuting! Here is what I've learned from different animated movies:
