A New Beginning



It's a new year and although I'm usually reluctant to make resolutions and goals, this year I told myself that I would make more time for blogging, creative projects and doing what I love!  Sometimes, we get so caught up with everyday life that we lose focus on the things that matter most. 

 

I'm hoping to be inspired and to inspire others.  There will be major changes this year and I can't wait to share them with you all!  Here's to a year of new beginnings and endless possibilities.

Ladylike in Black and White

i was feeling very ladylike in my black and white attire. everything from the over sized sunnies, fringed skirt and draped coat made the look very feminine, in a street chic kind of way. the leather pieces were a nice accent and dressed up the casual white tee. somehow, i always end up wearing black. i will need to keep reminding myself to incorporate more color this season!

mixing frenzy

one of my favorite styling tricks is mixing up different trends. i love pairing unexpected fabrics or styles together for an unpredictable look. as many of you know, i also love to integrate highs and lows into my everyday wardrobe, nothing makes an outfit more than a fabulous pair of shoes or an iconic handbag! 

for my super lazy sunday outfit, i decided to pair these ridiculously comfortable camouflage jogger sweatpants, with a simple crop top. to incorporate something shiny for my mood, i chose my embellished zara sandals and my classic red chanel bag for a pop of color. best thing about the look? the outfit itself didn't cost more than $40! the street glam look of the day was a major success!

tribal

my love for high waisted everything is no secret and today's outfit is no exception. these super comfy tribal printed high waisted harem pants were a find. theyre lightweight and perfect for the hot, but breezy weather. i love the pockets and muted down the tribal pattern pants with a neutral silk blouse. i paired it with my sky high dany platforms and was ready for meetings and appointments of the day. hope you all have an amazing friday! xoxo

hot pants

i seriously cant get enough of bright colored bottoms lately. coming from someone that practically lives in black, im so proud of myself for venturing outside the box. theres also just something about pairing red and leopard together that makes everything so right.

worn down surroundings

it seems the older and dirtier the place, the better pictures turn out. i found this amazing warehouse area in downtown la that seemed unusually eerie and mysterious. i loved everything about it. my neutral-ish outfit for the day contrasted quite nicely with the dirty, gritty background.

a stroll through the park

i literally live steps away from this amazing park, but never had the time to explore it. the boy and i decided to take a little stroll, and i busted out my joie over the knee lace up boots! i love these boots for so many reasons, the color, the lace up detail, the gold plate at the tip of the boot, i can go on and on...the weather was sunny, but chilly and reminded me so much of home. i definitely have to start looking into planning a trip back to vancouver soon.

i spent the day roaming around downtown la and found a few cool spots to take a few photos. the sun was bright and shining, another beautiful day in southern california. there is something classic about pairing denim with white and brownish tan hues that i love. very simple and easy.

neutral florals

im trying to veer away from wearing black these days and decided to pair my neutral jeans with my favorite floral blouse. i've been in love with j brand jeans lately, for the immaculate fit and comfort. these brown-ish, mushroom colored variation work perfect for the transition into spring.

road trip

the california heat spike has got me feeling nostalgic with summer on my mind. i am yearning for a vacation or to just get in this trailer and drive far, far away...

indecisive

the california weather is more than indecisive these days. rain, wind, sun, mother nature cant make up her mind. when the weather is indecisive, i am indecisive. the sun was glaring so i threw on a pretty light outfit-harem pants and a "hairy" shrug as i like to call it. once i got outside i was overwhelmed by a chilly, cold crisp day. not complaining, but i would much more appreciate a more stable climate trend.

muted greens

theres nothing more easy than throwing on a jumper and faux fur vest for a chilly californian fall day. i am currently obsessed with these h&m gold bauble rings.

hello operator

these days everyone is so consumed with technology that phone booths like these nearly exist. i love the vintage european feel of it and the bright, vibrant red. the only thing missing from this amazing phone booth is the phone itself.
