What I'm Wearing | Boyfriend

ZARA blazer / necklaces thanks to SHOP LATELY / tee thanks to BEGINNING BOUTIQUE / Levi's boyfriend jeans borrowed from Sharon / BCBG wedges 
I want to first say SORRY for being the worst style blogger of 2012--school and styling have taken up a lot of my time for the past few months! However, finals week is here and that means I will be going back to California for winter break-for an entire MONTH! 
These are just a few snaps of today's outfit, featuring an homage to my West Coast roots thanks to Beginning Boutique.  I decided to pair this rather casual outfit with some holiday jewels in my favorite costume jewelry style from Shop Lately.
On another note, I had an amazing time at the Modern Vice factory party hosted by Jordan, Natalie, and Dylana a few blocks up a few days ago and it was fantastic. You can see more pictures on my instagram feed @_jessicawu.

What I'm Wearing | Ice Blue

 Dress thanks to BEGINNING BOUTIQUE // sunglasses from SHOP VAGABOND YOUTH borrowed from Heather // Glint & Gleam bracelets thanks to SHOPLATELY // BCBG wedges

Pictures by Heather! I just received this adorable frock in the mail, and it made my day! It gives off a very playful, Alice-in-Wonderland feel, with its pastel hue, flounce skirt, and naif-chic silhouette.  I paired it with simple silver accessories from ShopLately (love both to death, silver jewelry makes the world go round) and cateye shades on top, black patent wedges on bottom. Also, my nails are the adorable Play hearts from Commes des Garcons, which I handpainted! My roommate said I look like a Tiffany's box, which I can see (just put a white belt on, haha -  great Halloween costume idea)! Please excuse my horrible posting, midterm season has arrived and I've been unable blog. Also, fashion week was insane and I wish I could cover everything I love but I really don't have the time!  wish me luck on my exams! xx INSTAGRAM | BLOGLOVIN' | FB FAN | LOOKBOOK

TURQUOISE TRIANGLE: thanks to Pree Brulee, STUDS: DIY, GOLD SPIKES: DIY, SILVER TOOTH: thanks to ShopLately

NEW IN! All thanks to ShopLately! I thought I would show you all the collection of jewelry that I brought with me to New York for school.

Unfortunately, all of my pieces don't get an equal share of wear (sorry, my unworn necklaces!), but I do love how they look sitting with the others.

My favorite necklace right now is the silver spiked tooth Glint and Gleam necklace sent to me by Shoplately.

I've displayed them on ceramic plates from Fish's Eddy, the most adorable dish and house wares store I've encountered thus far. They have an amazing $1 section in the back, where all the merchandise is (you guessed it!) a dollar a piece. So these four little dishes came out to a mere $4! They also have large plates, cups, flatware, bowls, and the like in the back. If you're ever in NYC, make sure to visit!

What I'm Wearing | Concrete Jungle Utilitarian

RVCA tank // mom's vest // MAXMARA skirt // ASOS boots // 

collar thanks to BEGINNING BOUTIQUE // LIZ CLAIBORNE bag // tattoo thanks to FAKETATTOOS.SE  pictures thanks to my lovely roommate HEATHER My first outfit post in (yeah, that's right!) NYC! So first, I would like to apologize for the ridiculous lag in posts, as I've been packing and unpacking and attending orientation sessions. I've already met so many wonderful people, including a reader from North Carolina (Hi Hana!) and I can't wait to meet more and make more new friends. As for the outfit, I decided to go for a utilitarian look on this shopping day with Heather (the very few purchases I made will be popping up in posts sometime or later haha). This MaxMara skirt is PERFECT because of its versatile lantern shape, but my favorite feature has to be that it doesn't need to be ironed. I'm serious. Even if I wrinkle it, it "self-irons" and, as soon as one day, is completely fine if laid out. I love it. As for the awesome fake tattoo, FAKETATTOOS.SE sent me some of their cool products and included was a set of different sized triangles. Although it may have been intended for one tattoo, I decided to cut it up and create my own geometric pattern (what do you think?) Thanks for being loyal readers! PS classes start next week :) xx INSTAGRAM | FB FAN | LOOKBOOK

What I'm Wearing | Tropical Fringe

fringe blouse thanks to BEGINNING BOUTIQUE / printed pants from ZARA / heels from PIPERLIME / sunglasses from F21
I fell in love with this Western style fringe blouse when I first saw it at BB, and I was equally as intrigued by its ice blue color. My aunt took me on a graduation gift shopping trip and we went to Zara. I was initially on the fence about the bottoms because I didn't know what to wear with them, but I gravitated towards putting these two pieces together because they both had that same ice blue! 
Are you a fan of tropical prints? I think they're perfect for summer!

What I'm Wearing | Minimalist Summer

(Lastly, the ubiquitous goofy pose after being honked at/stared down/slowdrive-by'd)

tunic c/o OASAP.COM, palazzo pants from my MOM, collar c/o BEGINNING BOUTIQUE, cuff gifted by my friend NICO, Sabine platforms via PIPERLIME

I actually recently posted an outfit with this sheer tunic (here), but once I saw these amazing sheer and layered trousers, I knew the two had to be paired together. I topped it off with simple silver hardware, 

a sharp cateye, and wooden platforms to prevent me from accidental tripping on the long hem of the pants.

The light summer breeze makes these trousers come to life, it's absolutely amazing. 

What's your ideal summer outfit?

stay tuned for an awesome giveaway!

What I'm Wearing | You Missed a Button!

TUNIC: c/o Oasap.com | DENIM: Zara | CLUTCH: H&M | WEDGES: Kelsi Dagger (mom's) | COLLAR: c/o Beginning Boutique | CUFF: gifted
I wore this outfit quite some time ago but never got around to posting it, unfortunately. I love last minute projects (sense my vicious sarcasm?).
Anyways, I've gotten a bunch of compliments on this asymmetrical top, and I think it is a beautiful piece that is airy for spring, but can also be used as an amazing layering piece in the fall/winter. My AP calc teacher joked that I missed a button while dressing that morning, haha.
I'll be graduating from high school in 4 days, so hopefully after that I can get back to posting, posting, posting!
