Mix & Match

I am loving the juxtaposition of grunge mixed with glam. I found these amazingly perfect shredded Levi’s on the sales rack at Urban Outfitter’s a few months ago and thanked my lucky stars that they were my size and only $15! They aren’t your average pair of jeans and this isn’t your average casual look. Mixing different trends lets you create unexpected looks. I also notoriously pair high and low items together and thought my metal cap toe Louboutin stilettos were a fun addition to the look.

Side Note - do not wear your stiletto heels to trek down the riverbed. I had to hitch a ride on the BF's back to avoid a sprained ankle!

Fail Proof

Do you ever wake up some mornings with no motivation to get dressed, or feel like you have nothing to wear? I'm sure we all have felt this at some point or another. Whenever I wake up with this problem, I turn to my fail proof outifts. Usually, I revert to my favorite pair of jeans and that perfect slouchy t-shirt, but I've discovered another easy fail proof combo as of late. I've been pairing my staple black leather jacket with casual dresses and my over the knee boots. For an easy thrown together outfit, it definitely looks a lot more pulled together. The structure of the leather jacket makes you looked effortlessly polished. You can also play with the versatility of this dress by adding some sheer tights, simple pumps and a fitted blazer for a daytime office look.

So next time you feel discouraged about what to wear, try playing around in your closet. Mix your favorite staple pieces with unexpected items and get excited about getting dressed. Your clothes are your first impression to others so make sure its a good one!

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!

fancy pants

southern california has been suffering from severe dry heat lately so i trekked out to find some refuge in the cool shade. i wasn't always a fan of drop crotch "mc hammer" pants, but kickin' around some dirt in these bad boys were more comfortable then i couldve ever imagined. the best part about these pants are the price, but i will get to that a little later. the "leather", sweat pants style of the pants make them easy to dress up or down. i paired my look with a brocade crop top, simple gold chain and basic zara sandals.

so now, would you believe that they were only $10 dollars?! yes, believe it. for those of you who don't know about the Cooper Building in DTLA, you need to go asap! it's nestled in the corner of 9th and Los Angeles Ave. and houses over 100 designer showrooms. it gets even better, the brands have sample sales every last Friday of the month! one of my favorite sites for sample sale updates is Racked LA, you can always look up sample sales going on in your area. so that's how i was able to snag these, along with a handful of other items for a fraction of the retail price!

one more day...

...until ZARA becomes available online! im so ecstatic, no more scrambling to the mall to get my hands on the goodies! now ill be able to do it in the comfort of my own home-in my pjs, which is how i like to do all my online shopping! i cant wait to get started on my fall wardrobe!

leopard+trousers

if i worked at a corporate office, this would probably be one of my ideal outfits. sophisticated and pulled together, yet still fun and stylish. high waisted trousers are a staple must in my wardrobe and i love these dark, tailored ones from rich&skinny. the inner waistband is lined with leopard, which inspired me to pair it with this leopard zara blouse. schnazzy.

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.

save me your bread crumbs

one of my favorite childhood memories was going to granville island with my mom. not only did we pick up fresh fruits and baguettes from the farmers market, but we fed the ducks as we sat on the dock by the water. things were much simpler then. what i would give to go back to those days, oh well...this will have to do for now.
