Summer OOTD | LA

Hey everyone, it's Friday, so you know what that means! Fashion Friday, oh yeah! Here's another Summer OOTD! Two totally different looks. One being a street style chic, and the other a boho chic. Both totally perfect for shopping at the Grove or wandering around Laguna Beach. ;)

---

I loved how this outfit was different - edgy, casual, but still street chic. I'm not quite a big fan of crop tops (on me by the way) but I figured this top would go great with these super comfy and adorable high wasted shorts, yes shorts. I think the trouser shorts (I believe that's what they're called) are definitely cute, and can give a posh look, but I decided to make it more laid back for casual, yet not too casual LA shopping. The gold leaf necklace also adds a little edge contrasting with the detailing of the top.

I paired my outfit with these coral sandals to give a nice pop of color to the monotone colors.

I am in love with the detailing of this crop top!
The gold necklace really compliments the top.

Adding Denim to any outfit dresses it down.
 Tying it around your hips gives a more edgy look,
and can even slim down your waist.
It's also good to throw on when it gets chilly.
I think it adds more flare to the outfit

Outfit 1

Crop Top | Urban Outfitters

Shorts | H&M

Denim Shirt | American Eagle

Purse | Kate Spade

For this look, it's all about loose clothing, bold prints, and summer colors.

I kept the top simple, (but the details on the side add a little flair as well as the scallop hem at the bottom of the shirt) since I wanted my shorts to be the main focus with their beautiful 'kaleidoscope' print, which is also a beautiful array of orange shades. Paired with some caramel colored accessories and we're ready for a walk by the beach! :D

Light fabric shorts are perfect for the beach!
Both comfortable and of course cute.

Floppy hats are one of my fave accessories to throw on!
Not only are they adorable,
but they protect your face from harmful rays of the sun
and maybe avoid getting sun-burnt
all whilst keeping you look fabulous.

Finals & Fashion Friday

Hey everyone! Long time no post right? Well all the stress, studying and late nights for AP testing and Finals is finally over, and school is finally out which means more posts and maybe starting a Youtube Channel!! Yay! My youtube channel will mostly feature lookbooks, occasional DIYs, I'm not completely sure, but it hopefully should be a fashion/lifestyle channel. (Everything is still in the working, but I've been thinking about making one for the longest time.)

Anyways, back to the post. Yes, finally school is out, and I survived another year of high school. I finished my junior year, and I finally get to say I'm a senior! The (supposedly) best year of high school! Ahh, I'm so excited, nervous, happy, sad - every emotion - just excited to being closer to the end of high school and moving on into the real world and pursuing my dreams. 

---

Back to the OOTD. I wanted to look chic (of course) but be comfortable at the same time by adding a casual flare by throwing on this denim shirt. The dress itself is simple, but beautiful! I love the color, and the floral detailing at the top. It's very girly and flirty. I added a braided belt to add more texture to the plain dress and to prevent me from looking too boxy. This outfit is perfect for lunch with the girls, a casual date, school, anywhere! Just remember to work it!

Roll up sleeves to give a more rugged, casual look to any outfit.

City of Dreams

Hey everyone, long time no blog! I've even super busy with school. It's the most busiest time of the year for this high school student. Registering for the SAT and AP exams, staying up long hours occupied with homework and so on. This will be the last #fashionfriday #ootd post of the month. Sad face ): But don't worry, I will be posting more!

---

As you can tell by the title of this post I'm talkin' about the city of dreams; New York. It says so on my dress! Haha 

"Nueva York City - cuidad de Los sueños"

For this outfit I was inspired by the street style of NYC. I am just infatuated with the diversity of fashion there. The best of the best reside in the big city, and most importantly, each fashionista there has their own individual style that makes them unique and beautiful.

I saw this dress and knew I had to get it. It's edgy. It's chic. It's different. I am in love with the fishnet type material found at the bottom of the dress. It gives an extra bit of flair and adds to the simplicity of the dress. I've noticed T-shirt dresses are coming to style. It's hard not to fall in love with the comfortable material, and it's quick and easy to slip on for the lazy gal (Like myself) Or it you're in a hurry, but still want to dress up. (Also like myself). For accessories I kept it simple and wore a black and white bracelet with traces of gold and another gold bracelet on top. I also paired the outfit with my brown Steve Madden purse with gold accents to go along with my shoes and jewelry. I kept with the black and white theme with hints of gold and brown. I am in love with my white and brown Dolce Vita wedges/heels! They are surprisingly super comfortable and did I mention CUTE?!

Mint and Spring

Hello everyone! It's been a while since my last fashion post, and I never had the chance to post my outfit from the other day, so I'll upload that one as well soon.

This week {in California} has had the perfect weather that every Californian knows and loves. Though chilly in the mornings, it cools down to nice fresh afternoons. 

---

For today's #chicandunique ootd I really wanted to wear this beautiful mint floral dress from Urban Outfitters. This dress just screams Spring. Florals? Check. Pastel colors? Check. Cuteness? Double check! Haha, I really love the mint color (as well as any pastel colors). And pastels are a huge Spring trend (duh). Also, what girl doesn't love flowers? I think I may have an addiction to floral prints. Whoops. 

Dress | Urban Outfitters

Necklace | American Eagle

Cardigan | Nordstrom

I paired the dress with a beige knit cardigan since it gets chilly in the mornings. (Also, the back of the dress is pretty revealing) I didn't wear any accessories besides dainty pearl earrings because I wanted the main focus to be the beauty of the dress. I also threw on a chestnut brown belt to match my boots as well as giving more shape to my body.

Neutrals & Pop of Color

Hello everyone! I know it's been two weeks since my last post, and I skipped Fashion Friday. ): Sorry about that, these past few weeks have been hectic in and out of school, but I promise that I will post more because I will be traveling down south for the weekend. That should mean more OOTD's, and maybe top hot spots! Anyways, I hope you all like this look, and I apologize again for the lack of posts. 

---

Lately, I've been in love with wearing neutrals with a pop of color! The look is the perfect balance of dressy, yet casual. I really like this look because I, too, get lazy to entirely dress up, but still want to turn heads. For a even more laid-back look you can switch the skirt and go for an asymmetrical skort. (Asymmetrical skorts are one of my go-to's if you want to look "girly", but still want to feel fashionable and comfortable.)

I threw on this black and white striped blazer to give the outfit a more prepped up look. The blouse is simple, yet beautiful. I love the detailing at the top aligned with gold buttons. I paired the belt with a black belt to give myself more shape. I think mixing different textures and materials are very creative and beautiful. So, I used this lovely black and white floral purse for accessory along with a simple pearl bracelet and this gorgeous red and gold necklace.

Lace & Pastels

Hello everyone! I've decided that I'm going to make #FashionFridays happen. Every Friday I will try and post a new OOTD, Style Steal, Latest Trends, and anything else fashion related.

Today's look consists of very different pieces. Different fabrics, colors, anything that you would never really think to be 'normal', but mixing and matching different things could actually turn out to be very chic and unique. (Ooh that rhymed) New hashtag or motto? #Chic&Unique I'm feeling it haha.

It's been warming up a little in California and Spring is going to be here before we know it. I'm excited for the upcoming Spring Trends (not so excited for Allergy season though). This outfit is a classy and beautiful introduction to February and warming of the weather.

Top | Nordstrom

Skirt | New York & Company
(Which I got a good deal on - 60% off!)

Purse | Kate Spade NY

Earrings | Lauren Conrad 

A little Candid pic haha

Necklace | Aunt's Closet

For this look I paired this beautiful white blouse with pearls aligned the top with this blue and baby blue skirt from New York & Company. Two different fabrics, but once beautiful ensemble altogether. I added a brown braided belt to tie the look better together and to make my waistline more smaller and give more shape to my body. For the shoes I am wearing some brown and white wedges that I've had for a long time now. As for accessories I chose to wear a pastel coral necklace to compliment the skirt since orange and blue are complimentary colors.

I'm thinking of making a Valentines Lookbook. Should I? Leave a comment for any style requests and let me know what you're looking forward to this month!
