Chemical engineering and biochemistry background. 
(I swear I'm wearing a slip underneath!! ) I like to wear my most over-the-top girly outfits on the weekends so I get it out of my system by the time I return to research on the weekdays. Floral? Check. Lace? Check. Rose lipstick? Check. Plus, there's no better pick-me-up than to wear a fancy dress to grab late afternoon lunches in. I've had this dress for a while now and it remains one of my most versatile lace pieces. I've experimented with wearing this dress with different colored slips underneath for various results...I want to wear something neon underneath for kicks, but I don't own anything in neon and probably shouldn't start.
Anyway, the course I'm taking is winding down so expect a few more posts per week. I'm also thinking of starting a new feature...but I'm not sure if I'll have the time commitment to keep it up. We shall see!
My birthday's coming up...even though I'm not doing anything huge this year I am still excited to see my friends! I am such a bad friend because I'm constantly working until 9-10pm and then have to go workout/eat/prep for exams so I never have time to catch up with anyone. Then on the weekends I'm usually out of town so I've been such a recluse for the past few months. I've got a really amazing friend dating back to high school and I have not seen her in two years; that's kind of ridiculous since we both live in Austin. Today we're about to change that fact as we've decided to have a potluck at my apartment, even if it's messy (I'm moving) and I have to study/workout/pack/whatever. Surely those things can wait one more day for an old friend, right?
PS. Currently listening to Vivaldi's Winter on repeat. Anyone else thinks that his Spring is overrated (overplayed on commercials and at weddings) and the other seasons deserve more credit? I usually listen to rap/pop/metal/rock now but once in a while I still like to flip through the songs that I used to love to play on my violin...

Your jumper looks huggable...... that's right, I want to hug you! That might just be because I haven't seen you in forever :(
