WEAR | Caribbean Medical Student Wardrobe Staples






  • A good pair of leggings and yoga pants. My personal favorite are by Zella, sold at Nordstrom. They're super comfortable to wear, wash and dry well, and doesn't make you feel too frumpy! The workout-wear material also dries faster than the traditional cotton legging, making it a perfect choice for tropical weather (and the unexpected rain!). 
  • Tank tops. Back to the basics guys. Throw one on with a pair of yoga pants, and voila! An outfit for lecture. My favorites are from Target!
  • Sports bra
  • Workout tops. Sweaty Betty tank pictured above.
  • A comfortable, light weight sweatshirt. I always have one of these either on, or with me for classes and studying. Study halls can get chilly with the AC (definitely not complaining though, I'd much rather it be cold than warm!). I can't get enough of the basic Wildfox ones.
  • Rain jacket because it pours unexpectedly.
  • Shorts because it's permanently summer down here. The ones pictured above are from One Teaspoon.
  • Sweatpants. Enough said.
  • Bathing suit; do go to the beach from time to time!
  • Flipflops. The Old Navy ones are my go-to. They're comfortable and inexpensive, which is important since I tend to go through them quickly on the island.
  • Birkenstocks because it's nice to wear something more substantial than just a flip flop sometimes. Available at Nordstrom
  • Slippers to be comfortable in my dorm. 
  • Athletic shoes to wear to the gym. I love my Nike Theas
  • Large, water resistant tote. Absolutely necessary, especially the water resistant part. Don't want your notes and electronics ruined because of the rain. Longchamp is fantastic, but I'm currently using the "Ryan" diaper bag from LeSportSac. Don't judge until you try it! There's so many compartments for everything, and two sections for bottles; one for my water, the other for an umbrella. Love love love this bag. 
  • Sunglasses to hide behind because we're all going to wake up with bags under our eyes from long nights of studying. And nobody wants premature wrinkles!

What to get a Medical Student for Valentine's Day

Happy February! Now is the time to freak out over Valentine's Day right? Hah. Just because there's an exam the day after doesn't mean we can't enjoy the day. Here's my little love list of medical student approved gifts; for that student in your life, significant other, bestie, yourself, whatever. (Everything is linked below)




  •  
  • Cute lingerie, great for any occasion (actually, feel pretty while studying). This pretty red set is from AdoreMe 
  • I'll probably be spending the day in sweats, so we may as well make them nice ones; Wildfox
  • Diptyque's limited edition "Rosaviola". They come out with one every year that's a variation on the Rose scent, always beautiful. 
  • Le Pen. For that planner/student/organizer in your life (which I admit, I am one)

What's In My Makeup Bag- To Go


  • Longchamp Pencil Case
  • Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens - a staple! always have one with me. Removes oil and leaves make up looking exactly the same. $10/100 sheets. Available at Sephora, or online.
  • L'oreal Skin Beautifier BB cream - in light medium. The best BB cream I've ever tried! (I've tried maybe 4 or 5). Really does make the skin look perfect, covering uneven patches and most blemishes. $11, sold at drugstores, which is fantastic!
  • Nanette Lepore Roller ball - I think this is discontinued, but it's such a perfectly sweet yet floral scent with a hint of musk.
  • MAC sheertone blush//Peaches - perfect peachy flush, especially for those with yellow undertones.
  • MAC StudioFix concealer//NC30 - best concealer ever.
  • MAC Mineralize Skinfinish//Soft&Gentle - best highlighter. ever.
  • NARS Lipstick//Dolce Vita - dusky rose color, perfect for every day. I've been wearing this daily since I bought it a few weeks ago!
  • Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara - 100 point perk from Sephora, I have yet to try this!
  • BareMinerals Ready Foundation - bought this about a month ago, and have been wearing it every day since. You can read about the haul here
  • BareMinerals Warmth and translucent powder
  • BareMinerals PrimeTime - It's a pretty good primer for the BareMinerals foundation. I haven't tried any other primers so I don't have anything to compare it to.
  • Emery board for my nails
  • Visine rewetting drops for contacts
