Yacht Week: Croatia

Never did I think I would be going on Yacht week but heck, one of my friends organized the trip and I am happy I decided to go. You may have heard it, and read about it on other blogs... The Yacht Week!? There are several locations for yacht week to choose from: Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Italy, British Virgin Islands, Thailand. There is also a route for Ultra Europe and Ski Week. For our first yacht week, we decided to go to Croatia. It was a week of sun, water, beautiful scenery, and parties.

It felt strange to come back to the real world... so strange that my friend and I are thinking of going to British Virgin Islands next time.

TBH;
All in all, to be completely honest, yacht week is the experience you want to make it. I knowww, that sounds cliche. As someone who does not drink much anymore, and the mere thought of shots make me shudder, and I had a heck of a fun time, being sober or at some times tipsy, and not hungover on a rocking yacht. I get quite peeved when people in blogs will say that it is necessary to drink alcohol to have the "yacht week experience." If you want to drink, drink. Cheers to you! But I think "the yacht week experience" can be so many versions. So yes, yacht week can be the week you want to make of it. Take my list of suggestions below as things that are important to me, and remember, modify to your own preferences! :)

Restless

Ever have days where you feel so restless yet do not know what to do? I am having one of those days. 

I got bored with the common styling of lace-up tops that I wore it under a loose flannel for this look. You may argue that this flannel ends up being too big on me...  and I usually like loose tops... but this was already the smallest size :( I do however loveeeee men's clothing and this flannel color sums up my current obsession with tones of green, blue and mustard yellow. To continue with the small hints of yellow in the top, I paired my muted-gold pleather skirt and blue suede flats for some richness.  :) 

I suddenly got sick so it may take me a while before I get to respond to everyone. :(

Monday?!

It is only Monday and I am feeling really confused about my work week. The past week and the upcoming week are filled with events, people in town, people leaving town, and concerts. And what, work somewhere in between that mix?! Wooh. Monday and I am exhausted.

Instagram / New Name

Good afternoon ladies and gents! I have a new instagram now for this blog: winscribbles ♥
I would love to have new reads! I also decided to change my url to winscribbles, a change from the previous smudged-fingerprints... the only downside is that I did not realize it would be such a hassle and that I would need to change everything including my bloglovin, but tada! :)

Got Space

I have been loving the half-bun lately, let alone twisting my hair into some type of bun or braid. It keeps me refreshed in this humid NYC weather and portrays my personal style. My sister bought a blue lipstick and I wanted to give it a try. I do not think it suits my skin tone that well but it was still fun to wear.

I stumbled upon thinking about the term, fomo, today. FOMO, fear of missing out, is commonly used in conversations. So I thought, what makes me fomo over certain things, versus others? I know that personally, there are times where I am horribly attached to my phone, refreshing for updates on different social media platforms every second. Then there are other phases where I enjoy keeping my phone turned off and away in far distance. And while fomo is initially discussed in relation to being connected with social media, it is also used around events and activities, such as missing out on an event, festival, or a trip. I certainly do not fomo over traveling to certain places but maybe that is because I am picky. Today I walked into Sephora not realizing that an event with Teen Vogue and Lancome was happening for Lancome's new product, Miracle on the Move. I realized I wanted to try the product, more because I did not want to feel missed out. What is it that makes me feel so direly in need of knowing what is going on and included while other times, not care at all.

I have come to appreciate and take advantage of any moment that I am traveling abroad or on a cruise, because wifi is limited. It is hard to detach and not focus on wondering what people I know are doing but at the end of every trip, I am always grateful for "being away." How far away are we really, when we travel nowadays? I think various factors affect what we are afraid of missing out on, all going back to some of our core beliefs and values. What do you fomo on?
