SLIDER


JennifHsieh is a space for my rambling thoughts and snaps of my everyday style. I'm based in Astoria, Queens and I share a home with my two derpy cats and my equally derpy fiancé.

In the Sun and Salty Air


Yesterday, one of my best friends, Jess, and I went for a spontaneous trip down to the shore to get some pictures in the sunset. (We've been friends since the 5th grade!) We made it just in time before the sun officially disappeared (unfortunately the sun sets on the wrong side of the beach and disappears behind all the beach houses rather than the ocean). :(

My new 135mm lenses came in the mail today about an hour before I left for my trip. UPS sure has great timing, no? I'm absolutely in love with them and I can't get over how great the pictures from yesterday turned out. Sorry for the picture heavy post but I couldn't help myself!


(chambray shirt dress h&m, belt h&m, skirt urban outfitters, moccasins minnetonka)

i'm pretty sure the picture above just screams "I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN" hahaha


So being at home, seeing high school friends, and experiencing lovely weather is putting me in a good mood. Hopefully it'll last for the rest of the semester and I won't die of stress. Hopefully I'll also stop procrastinating as much and manage my time better so I can update this blog more! Keeping my fingers crossed.


(In the above picture I was running for my dear life since some waves were about to crash on either side of me and soak me to the bone)

And as for my surprise shopping trip, my friend didn't mind at all and he was quite a good critic when it came to searching for dresses. I came home empty handed (that's a lie, I bought some suspenders) but hopefully I'll find a dress with my mom today. I need one by next weekend for a Club Convention; there's a formal dance and I can't wait! :)

  62. Jen! You are going to dislike! me very much. :( I asked mi madre if I could send it out and she said that she doesn't want me sending anything out to people I don't know. I know you're not a creeper, creepers can't be as adorable as you, but she's just trying to be safe just in case something wen wrong with the mail. :( I am sorry!! I feel bad telling you I was going to make you one and then not being able to send him to you. I know there are fellow mustache makers out there on etsy like on here:
