4. Ramen from Ippudo NY. One of my favorite places to eat in NYC. Don't forget to get the Hirata Buns. SOOOO GOOOD.

I have so much photos to upload and have yet to do so. Recovering from a wonderful week in NYC celebrating me and the boyfriend's 9th year anniversary by spending it with my baby dog, unpacking, and dreading the upcoming semester that starts on Monday. Luckily for me, I'm only taking 3 classes so it won't be as hectic as last semester.

I've gotten a LOT of questions from a lot of people about the camera and lens that I use (mostly though my Facebook haha). I use a Canon T2i which I have been using for the photos on this blog since April of 2010. Difference with my new posts is that I just purchased a fixed focal lens which is a 50mm f/1.8 lens a week before I left to New York. I love it so much that I'm looking forward to buying the 50mm f/1.4 lens possibly before summer (or in May right before GRADUATION!)

And don't forget! Follow me on Instagram (username: katherinelou) for a more personal and frequent photo updates via my iPhone.

Follow me on Tumblr!

Hope you guys had a wonderful holidays! Christmas, New Year, and my birthday (which was on the 7th of January) went by so quick I didn't even noticed how long has it been since I've blogged. But here's to a new year and a time for changes. I may not be blogging here as much but you can catch me on Tumblr and Instagram! My username for both is katherinelou!

Random photos since the last post. Finals ended last week and I am very excited for my GPA! It feels good to be satisfied with my GPA after all that hard work this semester. Six classes (5 of which are upper division courses) is no joke. After finals, I spent a weekend (I guess a day) in Dallas, Texas with my brother and one of my best friends and now I'm back in California eating, shopping, and spending time with family and friends. I'm pretty much loving life at the moment.

hello world

Hello bloggers! I just want you all to know that I haven't forgotten you all. I haven't had the time to "document" my everyday outfits since ideally, a collegiate hoodie and jeans is much more appropriate to wear to school when I have classes for nearly 12 hours a day. I truly believe that my readers deserve the best from me and not some mediocre posts for the sake of posting on my blog. Don't worry, I'll be back, better than ever (after all these darn exams, papers, and quizzes on economics, law, and the dreadful geology class that I need in order to graduate).

I have since gravitated towards clothes that is not only beautiful but worth my money AND something I need. I can vouch to you all that economics has changed me financially! Quality over quantity. Anyway, I'm on my way to graduation and that is my top priority at the moment so bear with me as I spend my free time studying for 6 classes. Again, I promise to blog as soon as I have the time :)

In other news, I just booked a flight to New York in January! Super excited :)

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
