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

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.

Outfit 2

Top | Forever 21

Summer, Update, YouTube?

Hey everyone! Yes, I'm alive lol, and I know it's been about two months since my last post, but I wanted to update you guys and say that I am back, hoping to post more frequently and consistently like before. Let me recap my summer vacation so far.

---

So, my summer has been a typical teenage vacation by staying up late, binge watching different TV series. (2 1/2 seasons of Bates Motel in less than 3 weeks), sleeping in, and going on social media.
But, let me add in that a couple of weeks ago, I got the chance to be a part of a new indie film "Jilted" coming out in 2016. It was a great opportunity and experience which I am thankful for.

Now as some of you may know, I recently took a trip to Lake Tahoe with my family, and decided to share some pictures and even a YouTube, yes, a YouTube video with you all on the different looks I wore on the trip! Yay! I finally made my first YouTube video, and worked hard to make it aesthetically pleasing. Now, giving that this is my first YouTube video, the video quality and lighting may not be the best, but hey, everyone has gotta start somewhere, right? I've been wanting to start up a YoutTube channel for the longest time, but never had the right equipment, but I decided that why not just make one for fun despite not haivng all the proper tools. I do hope you guys watch and enjoy it as you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/ByNYP0RT-MU

Loved this little flower meadow at Heavenly Gondola Village

Grilled Chicken Gyros & a side of Caesar salad at the
Artemis Mediterranean Grill was delicious!

And of course gotta squeeze in some sweets by stopping by for some
 Fruit Smoothies,  Honey Brick Toast, and Macarons!
