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

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.

Pencil Skirt Posh

Hey everyone! It's been a while since my last post. I didn't get to upload this the other day due to circumstances, but here's a late #FashionFriday #ootd

Pencil skirts have made their way up the fashion world lately, and I love the class they add to a look.
pencil skirts aren't just for the outfit, and with this look, I show one of the many ways to dress down or dress up a pencil skirt without looking like a corporate employee. If you aren't into the whole "dressed up" look, you can make the outfit more edgier by buying different texture/material, or prints. You can even pair the skirt with vintage printed shirt, a plain white tee for extra casualness, or even a slouchy sweater for the fall. The possibilities and outfits are endless!

---

I am in love with this color scheme - especially the color of my top!
 The back (not photographed, sadly) is a laced back, which adds a very cute and flirty touch.
 Peplum blouses are great because they slim down the waist line, especially with a belt to extenuate even more. 

Pencil skirts works on most body types, but if you're pear shaped, opt for a skirt that lands above the knee, rather than around the calf area.

I wear this necklace very often, but I do love the beaded design.
Very simple, yet it gives a complex and gorgeous style overall. 

Remember to be confident, and work that pencil skirt!

Quick & Easy Bun Tutorial

Hi friends, I know a lot of us are either lazy, in a hurry, or our hair just isn't working with us. (All of which I've dealt with numerous times), so I decided to post a quick and easy bun tutorial! Yay! 

Materials Needed:

Hair Tie(s)

Bobby Pins

Instructions:

1) Gather all hair as if putting up into a high pony tail.

2) With your free hand take your hair and tightly twist it around forming the bun.

3) Secure with Hair Tie

4) Pull the bun (optional)

5) Wrap another hair tie (also optional if you feel the bun is loose)

6) Apply bobby pins to keep the bun in place or fix any stray hairs

7) Style by pulling down some fringe or even accessorize!

---

A [messy] bun is definitely one of my go-to looks if I woke up late and don't have time to do my hair, or if I'm having a 'bad' hair day. I know, we've all been there ladies, right? Perfect for if you're in a rush and on the go and takes not even a minute! I actually can make this bun in about less than 30 seconds (no exaggeration, maybe because I've 'mastered' the look haha)

Boho Babe Series X Hipster Pocahontas

Hey guys, this is the final look (late upload, but better late than never right?) in my #BohoBabeSeries

I'm getting a Pocahontas vibe from this outfit (who is one of my fave Disney Princesses!) This look is perfect for Coachella! A light and breezy dress with a Denim shirt tied around the hips gives a casual, yet flirty look. And if it gets cold, throw on the Denim for an Americana look. 

Look #3: A pop of color

I am diggin' the wind in this photo.
Just call me the hipster Pocahontas - painting with all the colors of the wind haha

Light and breezy dresses are a must for bohemian or coachella fashion, and with this white dress,
you'll be lookin' like an angel in the desert. (;

Denim definitely has to be a closet staple for everyone!
It's perfect for that minimal and casual look.

Bangles are the way to go when going Boho! I love the intricate designs
and how each bangle is different. 

I am in love with this tatoo ring! 
The 'diamond' was a lovely teal color that would go along well with the bracelet and necklace, 
but it looks faded in the photo.

This necklace totally flashes back to when Pocahontas receives her mother's necklace, right?! (;

Boho Babe Series X Peasant Top

Hey everyone! This is the second outfit in my #BohoBabeSeries This look is perfect for Spring and Summer. It's casual, yet flirty. 

Outfit Idea #2: Peasant Top X Jeans

I was also thinking of Lana Del Rey's "Blue Jeans" song when writing about this outfit lol! 'Blue jeans, White shirt, walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn..." haha. Anyways, back to the outfit!

Distressed, or "Ripped Jeans" are a Bohemian closet staple.
These jeans are from American Eagle and are super comfortable!

Peasant Tops are very comfortable and pretty loose, allowing you to feel light and free throughout the day.
 I am in love this off-shoulder top with crotchet detailing.  

Okay now, I may or may not be obsessed with these tattoos.
 These are temporary glitter tattoos, (I think that's what these are called, lol)
 Regardless, these come in various cute designs that can substitute for jewelry and act as an accessory on their own! 

I rarely wear bracelets because they always tend to fall off my tiny wrists,
but I loved the subtle colors on these which also matched my necklace.
