Sensible Stylista

Hey guys! My name's Kim, and I'm a bonafide workaholic. I'm a Korean-American hustler living in the DMV area (DC/MD/VA), hauling ass all day err day trying to build the life of my dreams.

Let me start by telling y'all a bit about myself.  I'm currently getting my DMA (doctorate) in Piano Performance and a second Master's in Musicology (aka music history). I've been in school for what seems like an eternity - I got my BM at Peabody then my Master's at Juilliard - so hopefully I'll be done with it all soon!

Sidebar: If you'd like to check out my music, clicky HERE. Also, I have an awesome cello-piano duo called the Ward-Kong Duo.  If you live in the area, make sure to check us out - we perform frequently.

On top of that, I teach piano at Johns Hopkins Uni, blog full-time, and work as a freelance social media consultant.  I don't get enough sleep, and I'm literally tired all the time, but I honestly couldn't be happier.

I started Sensible Stylista in 2011 as a personal style blog, but I've transitioned into lifestyle full-time not too long ago. You'll see tons of stuff on beauty, fitness, travel, and all that good stuff in addition to fashion.  As I'm sure ya'll can tell, I love cute clothing, and I pride myself on being a smart shopper who knows when to save and when to splurge.

I'm usually super busy with school and work, but when I have down time I like gorging on delivery food and watching Netflix marathons.  Why you ask? I can't watch weekly TV shows because I'm too impatient, and commercial breaks piss me off.  I wait until the entire season is available and watch it in one sitting because that's obviously the practical thing to do, ha.

...andddd I LOVE animals!  I seriously wish I could adopt every single shelter dog, but maybe in another lifetime. I do have a pup though: an adorable maltese named Daisy - clicky here to follow her on instagram for ridonkulously cute pics.  She's the love of my life and puts a smile on my face, even after the worst of days.

So, join me on my journey!  Let's grab life by the balls and become the best possible versions of ourselves. I'm active on pretty much every social media platform there is so come say hello and connect with me:  Twitter, Chictopia, Lookbook, Lookmazing, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Bloglovin', and email - sensiblestylista1@gmail.com.  BTW, I recently started a new food account on instagram called @nomtasticfoods so come check it out!
