I love clothes that make it easy to get dressed. Not only is this top made out of a very comfy sweatshirt material, but it also has a pretty embellished neckline. I could have gone for a girly look, but on this day I decided to toughen it up a bit with my faux leather jacket and Chelsea boots.
My hair doesn’t look quite like this anymore. I had a hair appointment two weekends ago and I got longer extensions. With the colder weather, I just felt like I wanted long hair again. Speaking of cold weather, it was rather chilly this weekend. It might be time for me to dust off my old winter coat!

![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Yes, I think the clothes were such nice freebies- thank you rewardStyle party! Thanks Lydia :) Hopefully I’ll be able to shoot outfit photos with the longer hair this weekend.
You are just so chic! The mix of textures makes this black-and-gray look super stylish and grown up.
