Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend! I got a much needed rest and I feel pretty good about the upcoming week. I’m ready to hit the books! Now that I’m about to concentrate my majority of time into studying, I worry a lot about distractions and since I also blog on the side, I need to plan my time accordingly. I find this article on better attention and focus online tools really helpful. I tend to have a schedule for everyday and stick to it no matter what. On weekdays, my day is divided into three parts: My day job (working from 8:30AM to 4:00PM), coming home, spending time with family, eating dinner, shower (4:30 to 7:00PM), studying, working out, blogging, doing errands, planning for the next day (7:30 to 12 or 1:00AM). What about you? How do you guys manage your time?
A gorgeous photo of Clara Flood by Venessa Jackman. Just a simple white shirt and tailored bright shorts, exactly what I’m in a mood to wear.
This is how I want to wear blue to the office..
1. McCauley Biker Waistcoat $595.00 (rag-bone.com) 2. Kjol Road Skirt $93.81 (Modekungen) 3. Women shoes $465.00 (Valentino.com) 4.Cambridge Satchel $241.00 (ASOS) 5. Alexander Wang for Linda Farrow sunglasses $325.00 (openingceremony.us) 6. Fallon Off The Grid System Choker $233.00 (charmandchain.com)
I want to buy all these shoes in each color! Which color would you buy? Bebe Metallic Tip Suede Pump $99.00
I love it when I see stylish mothers and daughters together. Truly, style runs in the family.
Have you seen this video?! My favorite look is when Taylor styled Amanda in an oversized white shirt by tying the knot at the bottom and then paired it with the leopard clutch and loafers. Perfect!
Hope your Monday is bright and lovely! xoxoxoxoxo

Love these pictures! I almost fell off my seat after seeing that Kjol road skirt. I’m totally in love. 🙂 As for handling my time, I always create a schedule but I suck at following it. 🙁 Something I need to work on. lol Thanks for visiting my blog dear. xx

I am an expert at time management. I am in bed by 10:00 every night and up at 5:45 every morning so I can keep my body on a stable sleep schedule. I work about 6 hours a day (except for Fridays when I work a full 8-hour day), and I am in three classes this semester. I also work out 5 days a week, do homework, blog (duh!), and do things that I feel like doing just because. It’s tough to be so organized, but we manage it, right? 🙂

That electric blue is such a gorgeous colour & those shoes are to die for!!! I’m not so structured with my time but do make a list of everything I want to achieve in the day xoxo

I’m very organized myself. I need to have a certain routine every day, but having your own business also means an unpredictible schedule as well. I love the blue cardigan paired with the pleated blue skirt and printed belt and the LBD outfit (it wins me over every single time). I hope you have a great week, Shin! Good luck at school! xo

I love your blog, what do you think of following each other?
Kisses!
Gorgeous outfits and I love those mothers and daughters pics!
Wow…you are so organized! I am amazed!
Have a great week!
xoxo
This pink short is extremely bright, but it looks so good on her! Love it!
I’m not as organized as you are, but I try. I have such a weakness for
sunglasses. Those Alexander Wang sunglasses are calling my name.
You sound so organised, Shin!! 🙂
I really oughta take a few pointers from you!
I need to get myself more organised – I could be worse, but you know I could be a lot better! Heh heh.
Hope you had a LOVELY weekend.

I absolutely adore the video – Taylor is such a great stylist – and all the pieces she chose are amazing. I also like the pink shorts – I’m so into bright colours right now I’m bidding for a pink blazer on Ebay. And I have to study for September too, so good luck my dear.
Love xx
I agree! Beautiful she and her beautiful style:)
I also love this post! … really know very fashionable:)
xoxo
All the brights look great! My days look pretty much the same, minus the studying 🙂 No free time lately 🙁
Happy Monday!

Hello there sweetie! I’m glad to hear you had a relaxation weekend! I had an Ok weekend! To be honest I didn’t have last year a schedule, pretty much a mess but I have to do one this year. I’m going to be in high school and high school in Albania is really heavy! This is even confirmed by many other countries! So I get sad every time I think I will not have much time for blogging and not writing to others! Thank god my school will be really close to my new house, from balcony I can see it so much time for me to sleep 😀
I guess the schedule will pretty much like this : waking up, go to school, come back, have some time to relax myself, home-works, 1 hour internet (I got to make an exact hour to stay, cuz other way I’ll stay here forever) dinner and free time I will spend it differently! I am a lil’ bit scared to go to high school, I don’t know, maybe new citie, noone I know but I’ll survive 😀
Today for breakfast I made nutella-banana-ice cream crepes! A new recipe to the new blog! I know you’re gonna love it!
Wish you a great day dear!
lots of kisses and hugs, Kiki
Darling you had me at the first pic and then the video – so many pieces i already have styled in a new way – thanks for a brilliant post on a Monday morning xx

I really love that article on attention and focus — whether you’re a student or a gal in the working world, I find that all of us have to learn good time management skills. It’s about finding the right balance and knowing when to say ‘no’ to things that might not be a priority. Thanks for sharing that video, it was brilliant!

Glad you had such a nice weekend! I have a rather structural schedule as well, although it might vary a bit depending on how much I have to do for school.
Oh, those Bebe shoes are to die for! And the blue is so pretty, really a gorgeous shade!
Love, Lisa
The printed skirt you posted is INCREDIBLE.
Fashionable Collections Giveaway
Balancing school, blogging and a social life is definitely hard! Blogging to me is a creative outlet that I use in my spare time, so when push comes to shove academically, my blog usually does suffer. How I manage to get everything done is to use all of my minutes in a day as best possible. So when I’m on the metro/subway going somewhere, I’ll whip out my notes to review something for an upcoming test. If I have 10 minutes between classes, I’ll write an outline for an essay that’s due in a couple weeks. I’m sure you’ll be able to manage just fine 🙂

hi Dear! Glad to hear you had a good weekend! Well to plan each day is not an easy task:) I usually start at 6am, quick shower, cup of coffee or portable mug on the go. Heading the tube at 7am where I have around1.5hrs to read my magazines or book or simply catch my PW emails on my blackberry. 9-5 it’s my working office hrs but often full of meetings in town, therefore sometimes I switch my working hrs between city office and the HQ. I’m at home before 7pm-tired but I do try to catch on my blog and lovely bloggers:) I have very little time to relax as I’m trying to go to bed around 11pm.
I LOVE the heels you just shown-all colors are great! xoxox
Oh wow, well good for you for being so structured, my days tend to just fall together and I hope to get everything done! Organization is not my strong point, but I need to learn to make it one of my strengths since I’ll be in full school-mode and want to make sure I have time for my blog, working out, family, etc.
Loving all the inspiration here – TTH is seriously one of my biggest style icons ever, can’t wait to watch the video! Hope you’re having a good Monday love 🙂
