I think the only thing that would be more casual than this is PJs or sweats. This week felt like the longest week even though I only had four school days, probably because I now have 0 period.



This high tops along with my leather jacket made it look like I tried with my outfit without having to actually try and I am definitely all for that!


It's been a while and it's nice to be back. I wanna end this with some updates with my life. I am currently in my second semester of my senior year in highschool and let me tell you that senioritis is real! My grades actually took a blow last semester. Anyway... blog wise I hope you noticed that I have changed my name from subjectofadmiration to pensandlipsticks. I also changed the template back to a more elegant and minimalist look. I have tons of posts and possibly new series coming up so check back for those. Xx

Today I lost my virginity........ my CAVE virginity geez!! First thing first, I wore the wrong freaking shoes! I mean, it was muddy and wet, and guess what! I wore my white converse. 

Afterwards, we drove to another cavern with the plans of going zip lining, but it was too expensive for $40 per person, in the end we just settled for some wall climbing which is way friendlier to our parents' wallets. 

It's almost certain that whenever there's a break from school my family and I would go to the Bay Area. With that said, I'll be showing you what I'll be taking with me for the car ride. These pictures were taken during the Thanksgiving break but I'l be bringing the same things with me this coming winter break.


I forgot to take a picture of the actual backpack, but I do have a link of where to get it and they have pictures. I got mine from my mom (my aunt; father's oldest sibling- my cousins and I call her mommy).

I always always always carry a notebook with me. The first one is my all-crap notebook. It's basically everything in one: journal, planner, lists, everything! I will be making a separate post about it, I'm just waiting for the start of 2015 and even then it wouldn't be as complete as I am aiming for since I have a planner from school that I'll be using till June. The second one is actually my iPad mini. I have to have it with me whenever I'm in the car for more than a couple of hours. I have my ebooks in it and obviously, netflix.. The iPad case is from Kate Spade. The third one is my sketchbook that I recently just bought from Michael's. There's only a couple of sketches in it but as soon I finish some more I'll probably show it to you guys. And of course my pencil pouch.


I have my favorite scent from Victoria's Secret which is Pure Seduction and a matching pouch it came with. A pack of tissues that everybody should have one always in there bag. A comb which I only use after I shower. And a case from millenias ago when I was still in Philippines. In the picture it has a Kat Von D lipstick and a Rimmel one, but it depends what I'm wearing that day.


I have my keys and my school ID. I recently just changed my keychains and stuff so it's not like that anymore but look at my Starbucks card!! My wallet which was my mom's before. My camera and pouch that contains all my chargers. I got it from Target and it came with a smaller one that says 'stuff' and I use that one for feminine products. Also, my glasses case is from Target and I do wear glasses for class, movies, driving, etc.


I have my Dooney & Bourke pouch that contains miscellaneous little things. The pouch was a birthday gift from one of my bestfriends (Thanks Ari!). I have vaseline, an eyeliner from Estee Lauder, mascara from Rimmel, lip gloss from VS, chapstick, Lady Gaga Fame roller perfume, a compact mirror I got from Aero, hand sanitizer in Paris Amour, a medice case that has rubber bands for my hair, hair pins, band aids, hair ties, and some candies.


I forgot to take a separate picture but basically during the car ride I have my lunch box with my and my water bottle.
