This is the Ted Baker Rhana Black Quilted Tote Bag. When it first arrive in the mail, I was ecstatic at the size of the bag. This is a great career bag as it is quite deep which will give you a ton of space to throw things into. I can say that my whole life could probably fit in here. On the sides are two flaps that have the embellished "T" symbol and the rims are actually a beautiful colored rose gold! The handles are great too because unlike other bags, the handles don't stick up and can stay flat on its sides when you are not using it. *Squeals* I love this bag to death as it is my go-to purse for my daily needs and a great selection for any corporate environment.
There's something very homey about eating at Dim Sum restaurants. Maybe it's the constant screaming of food orders, waiters/waitresses running frantically around, or little kids causing havoc because parents can't control their own children! I guess the hustle and bustle reminds me of the busy streets of New York City. When I'm craving for some comfort food I go for Dim Sum, hence I decided to drag Brian out to a nearby Dim Sum restaurant called A&J. Unlike other Dim Sum restaurants, this place is not as hectic and doesn't feel as if you're stuck in the middle of a street down at Chinatown. Instead of having carts being pushed around and having customers randomly pick on their choices of food, A&J is more of a sit down restaurant that serves Dim Sum dishes for cheap prices and the quantity is RIDICULOUS. You order from a menu and the waiter/waitress brings out the food like any other typical restaurants.
And since I knew I was going to pig out and probably have a huge bloated stomach by the end of the meal, I decided to dress in a loose-fitting Peter Pan collared dress. Here is what I wore for a devouring session of delicious foodsies!

We were sitting underneath an area where the restaurant displayed ALL their awards... I was pretty surprised (does my expression show that at all? lol).
I wish I could remember what I ordered... I just know I kinda randomly just chose things that sounded deliciously, and luckily for me everything was. Also, legit, they are the ONLY place in my area that I know of that sells bubble "tea" instead of the "smoothie" version. I ordered Taro to finish off my night and it was a perfect ending. I lived happily ever after.

There was a period of time in Senior year of High School when I had a very unhealthy obsession with oversized sweaters. My closet was piled high with these comfy articles of clothing and my wardrobe mainly consisted of oversized sweaters, shirts, and hoodies. I'd like to think that I was following the trend back then or maybe I was going solo and loved it all by myself *insert Forever Alone meme*. Now that I'm in the official "work-life", all my casual wears are slowly collecting dust. Admittedly, I might have lost my passion for fashion a tiny bit just because the only fashion inspirations I may have are usually trumped by my office's regulations on office wear.
Luckily, I get to go on dates with the boyfriend which gives me an excuse to go out in public with casual clothing! Also, it gives me a real reason to have a consistent social life other than work (I swear, I make myself sound like a social outcast...). Since we were just going out to eat Pho with his friends, I decided on a simple ensemble. I probably chose an oversize sweater too to hide the poof that would eventually be my belly after I get all that food in... lol...
