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.)

Belt | H&M

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!

Violet Harmon Inspired OOTD

Hello everyone! Sorry for the lag on posts, I've been extra busy these past few weeks with school.

Regardless of my hectic schedule, I really wanted to post this outfit of the day inspired by one of my all time favorite characters, Violet Harmon, from American Horror Story.

Violet has a very unique style and I decided to put a twist on her style by incorporating my vision of design into hers. Her style incorporates vintage with a bit of grunge twist, as well as classy, yet casual. Her clothing consists of a lot of layers, putting different patterns together, tights, and combat boots or converse.

Hat | H&M

Cardigan | H&M

Dress | Forever 21

Socks | American Apparel

Shoes | Urban Outfitters

This outfit was inspired from the Pilot episode of AHS where Violet wore a long Floral dress with a Burgundy Sweatshirt underneath and a mustard-yellow cardigan on top. She paired the ensemble with some black oxfords. To make my outfit more like Violet's, (yet still keeping my own touches) I wore a floral dress of my own, a burgundy cardigan, and paired it with some knee-high socks. To complete the look I of course had to top everything off with some oxfords and a fun black hat. 

I love Violet's style (as well as most of the characters on each season of AHS) because it is very different, and she doesn't care about others' opinions. I will be posting an American Horror Story: Coven Lookbook soon, so stay in tune for more outfits and different styles! Which is your favorite character and season from American Horror Story?

Monochrome & Red Wine

     Hey everyone! Finally, here is my first Outfit of the Day post of 2015! I know, I know, it's been a year and I'm sorry about that. Can't blame me for being lazy (aren't we all?) After all, I'm only human, and a girl's gotta have a life outside of the internet also! This was my first week back to school after a long, relaxing, and exhilarating winter break. [And I made it out alive haha] It was a long week, but I managed to throw in some ootd's on Instagram, (Link below), and had some great opportunities given to me, such as getting offered a job! Anyways, here are some pictures of today's look.

Coat: Forever 21 

Sweater: Sister's Closet (Hi Abby lol)

White Blouse: Forever 21

Red Wine Skort: Forever 21

Tights: Present from Aunt

Purse: Kate Spade Christmas Present (Hi Auntie Jen)

Earrings: Lauren Conrad

     I love how simplistic, yet classy this outfit looks. I used monochromatic colors (A big Winter trend according to Vogue), with a pop of color - the Red Wine Skort. To keep warm I stacked on layers from top to bottom, and wore my favorite Charcoal boots. I love to mix and match patterns and textures as well as colors to come out with a beautiful and unique ensemble. 

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Have fun and stay safe. xoxo

2015 & New Beginnings

      Hello everyone! I know it has been a very long time since my last blog post, (it's already a new year!) and I apologize for that. I have been very busy with school, family, and life outside of the internet haha. I am going to try to start posting a lot more as well as renovate my blog to be aesthetically pleasing. I have been thinking for the longest time, and I would love to boost my blogging skills and motivate myself the become a much better and active blogger. With that being said, I came up with some personal aspirations that I would like to accomplish for Ace Allure this year:

• Post [at least] weekly
• Gain more viewers/followers
• Collaborate with other bloggers
• And most importantly to inspire my followers

      

     The road to my goals aren't going to be perfect, but I'm hoping that it'll be a high road and that many opportunities and inspiration will come along the way. Thanks for still sticking with me guys, and have a great Friday & safe weekend!

Forever 21 + H&M Haul!

Hey everyone! How is your summer going? Mine has started out pretty good. I went shopping earlier this week, and decided why not do a mini haul? I also went to the grand opening of H&M in Fresno, which felt like I was at Black Friday... hah, but on the other hand, there were many good deals and cute clothing. I wish I would have bought more though.

Navy Blue Shorts: Forever 21: $12.80

Light-wash Denim Shorts: H&M - Original Price; $19.95, Opening Offer; $10

Ramones Black Halter: Forever 21; $13.80
I've been wanting a halter for the longest time. This was the only one I found, but I still love it. 

Cream Dress: Forever 21; $19.80
I'm in love with how boho and girly this dress is. I don't have many plain dresses, or any white, so I decided to buy this one.  This dress screams summer. 

Grey w/ Black Stripes Top: H&M; $12.95

Navy Blue Dress: H&M; $9.95

Black Lace Crop Top: Forever 21; $9.80

Chestnut Leather Handbag: Steve Madden
Literally in love with my new bag, Thanks to my Aunt/ "Sister" <3

I guess it's safe to say I love Black, Blue, and White clothing haha. What's your favorite summer staple? Maxi dresses? Light flowy dresses? Shorts? Comment below! 

Also, (Kind of irrelevant, but everyone is talking about it) I'm currently obsessed with The Fault in Our Stars. I started reading it s while back online, and finally got the book. I still need to finish it though. I'll definitely finish it before the movie comes out. Who's going to watch TFIOS? Are you excited? I know I am. I already know I'm going to need a box of kleenex...or two, while watching the movie haha.

I Got that Summertime Sadness

Hey everyone! I've come to the realization that I'm not the most active blogger, but hey, school comes first. (Hence the major lag on posts and ootds) Anyway, today was my last day of school and I can't believe I survived another year of high school and finals! I'm excited and can't wait to go on adventures this summer.
What are you doing for summer?

Outfit:

Top: Urban Outfitters - Black Lace Crop Top

Maxi Skirt: Forever 21 - Floral Slit Maxi (From Santa Barbara Mini Haul)

Shoes: Pink Wedges (Not sure where from)

Accesories:

Sunnies: Forever 21

Makeup:

Face: Kat Von D's Lock-It Powder Foundation

Eyes: Urban Decay's Naked Basics Palette

Lashes: Maybelline New York's
