Island in the Sun: Part 1


(h&m dress, sanya floppy hat)

The internet in China has been HORRIBLE lately..all foreign websites have been censored and i've been super bored. it's interesting how the sites i most frequently visit can't be accessed without a vpn. i feel really lucky right now to be able to get on blogspot and have somewhat of a decent internet connection so I can post :)

Anyway, I visited Sanya this weekend! Please excuse my food baby. Having a breakfast buffet right before hitting the beach isn't exactly a good idea haha!

Thrifted Poncho | New Look scalloped shorts | HM shoes
As promised, an outfit!  This is the poncho that I thought was a scarf when I bought it.  Turns out, I kinda like it as a poncho, even with the whole drama-teacher vibe.   I was wearing this poncho when I saw these scalloped shorts, and when I tried them on, realized they looked better with my outfit than the shorts I was wearing...so I bought them and changed immediately.  I felt like a child again, when I would wear my new shoes out of the store, and put my old shoes in the box...instant gratification :).

Basque-ing

PhotobucketPhotobucketHey all, sorry for the extended absence.  For the most part, the last two weeks have not been too kind to either of us.  For me, it has been finals. I honestly do not understand how i can still have 3 finals, when i have already taken 4.  blech. Plus, before my last 8:30 final, the tram was broken down.  having no car, no bike, and no phone (I just ran out of minutes) I was freaking out.  Luckily, thanks to a replacement bus (that randomly dropped me off in an intersection somewhat close to my final) and my not-so-amazing speed in loafers, I managed to get there just five minutes late.  Great way to go into a final...

ANYWAY, three days in the Basque region (on the border of France and Spain along the Atlantic coast), was exactly what I needed to recharge for my next set of finals this week.  I have no outfit pictures, as I was too busy soaking in the scenery.  The Basque region is literally my dream: mountains, forest AND sandy beaches. It doesn't get any better than that.


I hope to post sometime this week, provided I don't get too grumpy from finals...
As for Whitney, she is currently on vacation.  I know she will come back with some amazing photos, I am fully expecting a recreation of the antm photo shoot with the elephants in Thailand...remember?Photobucket
