Basics :: Wallis Competition

I'm participating in another Wallis competition! This time, it's focused on showcasing the best "transitional style" from summer to fall. I chose this black blazer, since no matter what season, a black blazer is always a good choice. While last summer, I was all about pretty dresses and frilly skirts, this summer I found myself dressing more laid back. Denim cut-offs became my go-to staple, which I like dressing up with some sky high wedges and a blazer. Blazers (even in black!) can definitely work for summer, by keeping everything else fresh and light.

I'd be so so grateful if you could vote for me in the Wallis Competition here!

Stay tuned for my second outfit featuring this blazer in a look for Fall!!

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th!!!!....even though I'm a day late :) I hope you all had fun celebrating with your friends and family!

Here's what I wore to celebrate with my own family. Dressed up a white and blue searsucker sundress with some spiked heels from Zara and of course, my red Louis Vuitton Cannes purse that I will forever be in love with!

Check out my outfit from last year's 4th of July if you haven't seen it already!

Cold Shoulder

I guess I have a thing for monochromatic dressing these days! Something about it seems very effortless, while still remaining put together and chic at the same time. 

So, I re-dyed my hair by myself last week and I'm really loving how vibrant it turned out! I've had quite a few hair colors in the past, but I think red is definitely my favorite! What do you guys think?

Double Sequin

Hi Everyone!

Here's an outfit I put together last weekend with the shorts I got from Choies. I was really having a hard time finding something to wear with them, since they are quite sparkly, but I decided to play up the sparkliness with my white Sugarlips button-down that coincidentally also has sequins on the cuffs and under the collar. I do love my sparkle! :)

Monochrome

The weather here is ever-changing lately. One day it's soaring in the 90's and the next it's pouring rain in in the 60's. In an attempt to escape the heat last week, I dressed down to leather short shorts and a cool, airy top. I did get a couple funny looks wearing this outfit though! I think people were wondering if I was wearing pants or not! That's what I get for monochromatic dressing!  Haha :)

Hope you all have a nice Wednesday!

Sweater Skirt

So, I had been eyeing this skirt for quite some time because of its unique print/color combination and its super soft sweater-like construction. While browsing the Club Monaco website the other day, I was so excited to see it on sale! I dropped by the store the same day, just to see if they would have it, and got the last one in my size!!!! Can you say "meant to be"?  :)

Four Twenty Two

I have this obsession with leather everything lately. These shorts from Zara are perfection! I love that they're not the typical black leather that you normally see, not to mention the super short cut.

These sunglasses are from Firmoo. I have a couple pairs of their prescription glasses and really had no idea that they also sold sunglasses. These are pretty cute I'd say!

Have a fantastic Monday!!!

Bomber Jacket

This jacket has been a staple in my closet for the past month! I literally throw it on over any/every outfit whether it be with a skirt, shorts, or jeans. I love the embroidered detailing on the back as well as the gold zippers and leather shoulders.

Fire Engine Red

Hi everyone! 

How chic is this red blazer from Wallis? I paired it with a peach top, which is kind of a risky color combination  but it seems to work! I love how versatile this blazer is--perfect for a day at the office or a night out on the town! 

I was recently asked to be a part of Wallis' contest to pick the first US Blogger Ambassador for their brand.  After seeing their amazing clothes, I of course jumped at the opportunity!

 Please vote for me on the Wallis Facebook Page!

Have a great week!

Spotted

Spring feels like it's finally here! It's been consistently warm enough to wear shorts lately, which is such a nice change from the never ending cycle of jeans that I've been wearing on a daily basis. I bought these shorts last Spring and you can see how last styled them here. I really love this particular pair, as they can be dressed up or down. Such a classic piece.

Velvet and Sequins

I fell in love with this skirt the moment I saw it hanging in the Club Monaco store. The beading and sequins, the color, the silhouette,....it's all so perfect! I paired it with a sheer Club Monaco blouse that I'm equally enamored with. Somewhat of a mixed prints/mixed texture look. Hope you like it!

Stripes and Leather

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had fun celebrating over the holidays! :)

These pictures were taken a few weeks ago, before the holidays and well before the temperature decided to drop to 37 degrees! I'm praying it warms up a little since my native Southern Californian-ness is dying in this freezing cold weather!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these boots! I showed them to you all on Instagram a while back, and this is what they look like on. A great affordable version of these Givenchy ones.....AND they're super comfy too!

Cozy :: Stripes and Sequins

The amazing team over at Firmoo sent me these glasses last week, and I think I love them even more than my last pair! the tortoise shell frams are not only chic, but they also have a very retro vibe to them, making them that much more amazing! Firmoo is still doing their Free Glasses promotion for new customers, so you can snag a pair yourself and channel your inner nerd!

It's been getting colder and colder lately, which makes the weather perfect for layering. I love how the sequin embellishments peak out from under the sweater and add sparkle to my look! Whats the holiday season without some sparkle right?

Jeans and Jewels

Because you just can't be dressed up all the time...

On days when I just don't feel like dressing up, I really love a jeans and T-shirt combo. I really don't like looking sloppy though, so I added a vest and statement necklace. I think statement jewelry is really a great way to pull a casual outfit together, don't you?

Golden:: Lace Peplum and Houndstooth

Can this top be any more stunning? The gold lace, the peplum, the open back....it's just so opulent! I love how fancy it is, though I can also easily see myself dressing it down with a pair of jeans and a blazer. Very versatile. On this occasion, I decided to pair the top with a full skirt to emphasize the peplum's effect. I love how the mixed prints turned out!

Tweet

Little Red Dress

This dress is perfection. While little black dresses are timeless and elegant, there's something about a little red dress that's so festive and exciting. As the weather cools, and the holidays approach,  red seems like the perfect color for a cocktail dress. It's still a very classic color, but is very bright and vivacious! I love the caged back detailing on this one too!

I decided to pair my black patent booties with the dress, instead of the usual, expected black pumps. A little more exciting, no?

Tweet

Lace and Chiffon

Just when I thought it was finally cooling down for good, the temperature shoots right back up to 90 degrees! So much for sweater weather huh? I guess it's not so bad wearing summer outfits a little longer since I'm sure it'll be freezing in no time. I really do love wearing sheer, flowy fabrics when it's hot, since tend to feel cooler. I love the draped front on this NRFB top and the braided straps too. It's very romantic and girly, perfect for a hot summer/autumn day! 

By the way, can you tell that my hair is shorter and darker? :)

Royal

This dress from Sugarlips just screams Fall to me! The opulent scarf print and the bright red color look very regal and are so representative of the luxurious feel of Fall fashion.  I'm in love with the sweetheart neckline and the fuller circle skirt too!

Peplum & Distressed Denim

I've been wearing shorts and dresses almost every day for....practically the whole summer. So I thought I'd change it up and wear some jeans (even though it's still ridiculously hot!). Though the daytime is almost unbearable, at least the evenings and nights are super nice and comfortable!

Hope you all have a nice labor day weekend!
