MINIMALISTICALLY EDGY

   Hi friends! It's been so long and I can honestly I miss being on this platform so much! I finally got a camera in the house and ready to shoot so many outfits and catch up on some projects and collaborations. Hope all is great with you guys. I moved into the Santa Monica area and just finished my first Summer semester at Santa Monica College. I took a Dance History class with my cousin/best friend Stasi, which was a very fun experience. Now I have the rest of the summer to catch up with my social life and to achieve some goals of mine. How's everyone summer going so far? Get me in the loop of what I've been missing these past couple of months! ♡

Boho Dress: Hand-me-down

Salem Bra: Unif

Ankle Boots: H&M ( similar )

Necklace c/o Crystals & Casings

   I've been in such a simple mood lately that all I pretty much where are minimalistic pieces like this bell-sleeve dress. But of course, I always have to edge it up a bit by wearing my Salem Bra and booties. Minimal & edgy, right? 

   I'm not going to lie, I've been thinking about dyeing my hair back to brown or maybe black. This blonde hair is very challenging to style. I mean, a challenge is always fun, right? Well I think I've somewhat overcame it.....maybe, lol. Let me know what you guys think because I'm torn from choosing blonde or another color. I'm all for suggestions! ♡

PALE PINK

   Hi everyone! Hope all is well and that you're just excited for Spring just as much as I am. It's just around that time for midterms and I should be studying but ya know, procrastination lol. Or if you're lucky, you're already on Spring Break lol. I still have a whole month until I go on Spring Break but I definitely have plans. I want to go to San Diego for the first time and go sight seeing. If you've been there before, let me know what you're favorite to do out there was! ♡

Boots: West Covina Mall

   In hope of Spring, I did not realize it was still going to be cold and gloomy -- my least favorite type of weather. Not to mention it was super windy too. I decided to do somewhat of a layering to keep myself warm by pairing my H&M bustier and Forever 21 cardigan. I also wore my all time favorite pair of jeans from Zara. They're so comfortable and fit my skinny legs so well, definitely the best purchase of 2015 so far. And finally I wore these strappy pale pink boots that I got for only $15! Unfortunately I forgot the name of the shoe store, sorry!

POST-VINTAGE

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well. As usual, it's been awhile since I posted up a blog post (I'm so sorry!). I'm going through the worst artist block ever at the moment and it sucks. I just feel when I have so much time on my hands and I have so less to do, it bothers me. That usually happens when I'm not in school and/or working. It's something that I'm currently battling with and I hope it will pass once I start school again. In the mean time, I've been doing little baby-steps to help improve my state and make me a better person. This usually starts by creating 3 commitments at the beginning of the day and some how fulfilling them. My three commitments of the day was eating a healthy breakfast, taking pictures for the blog, and not staying up pass 11pm today, lol. Is this something that you might be interested in doing?

Today I was hanging out with some friends and looking for a good location to shoot at, and what-do-you-know. We ended up at our old high school! It was nice going down memory lane again lol. Also, you're going to see that there are a few pictures with this random guy in there, yeah, please do not be afraid. That is just my good friend photobombing me lol.

Solid V-Neck: Wet Seal

Shorts: Thrifted

Tawny Boots: eBay (similar)

Today's look was inspired by my 16yr old self lol. I was all about the giant vintage movement (and still am) and wanted to bring it back, but without the thrift items. Forever 21 is having a BOGO free on all the sale items (STILL HAPPENING) and I couldn't look away from this knitted cardigan! I mean you can't have a vintage winter look without something knitted lol. From there, I layered it up a Wet Seal basic tee, Crystal & Casings Turquoise Howlite Double Chain necklace, my thrifted shorts with sheer distressed leggings, cute designed socks, and my tawny boots. I'm honestly not wearing much, but can you believe that I wasn't freezing my butt off?! Right?! lol.

POWDER PINK WINTER

So, who else enjoyed the rain the hit us today in the U.S? Wasn't that pretty neat? Well not for me because I really wanted to take pictures outside today, but I was not willing to be wet and cold at all. The struggle, lol. I kinda spent my day playing Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix and watching Supernatural ( I'm barely on season 2 -____- ). I honestly feel inspired like crazy and want to reinvent myself somehow. Maybe a haircut? New Make-up trends to try? Hello 2015 me, trying to bust-in all super early, lol. I know we all have New Years resolutions, but how are you trying to reinvent yourself for the new year? Let meh know! ♡

Beltspenders: Deandri

Fluffy Cardigan: H&M

Pants: Zara ( similar )

TIKA2 High Vamp Skaters: TopShop 

Yes I know, I'm wearing the practically the same colors as the last post and they both have something in common. Adding a bit edge to a sweet look or vice versa. I dearly love the powder pink + black combination for winter. I think it's totally refreshing instead of just an all black look. I bought this H&M bustier back in October for my last minute Halloween costume (I have no idea what I was) and I really wanted to wear it again! I had no idea how I would style it into a daily costume until I realized I had the same shade of pink on my H&M fuzzy cardigan and my hand-me-down Zara pants! From there, I added of course my signature Calico hat, Crystal & Casings marble necklace, and Topshop sliders. Finally to add some edge, I put on my Deandri suspender harness!

FALL SEMESTER IS OVER!

   It feels soooooo great to be blogging again! I can't believe how busy I was with school and working at the same time. I literally had no time for myself whatsoever. Kudos to those who go to school, work, and blog! You must be so damn good with time management, lol. Any who, how is everyone doing?! It's been so long since I've actually looked at my blog lol. I hoped everyone had a great Thanksgiving and looking towards the holidays as much as I am. Jeez, I have no idea where to start with my current life to be honest. I'll probably leave that to another post because there's just SO much. Ahhhhh, sorry that I'm all over the place, I'm just so excited!

Night Watch Cutout Booties c/o Calico

So I've been so obsessed with matching an all black outfit with a pop of color lately. I matched my H&M powder pink fluffy cardigan to soften up this all black outfit. My favorite piece of this outfit is my custom-made Marble Crystal Necklace from Crystal & Casings! It's such a classic touch to this look that adds more texture then just the fluffy sweater. The satin bralette is so freakin' cute too but unfortunately I'm not that full around the chest area so it's kinda of loose on the sides, hence why I wore my cardigan lol. Psh, no way am I going to waist money on a garment and not wear it lol. Finally, I wore my Night Watch Cutout Booties from Calico and I have not taken them off ever since I got them. There's so many way of dressing these babies up or down. Have you guys been seeing a lot of "pop" of color added to all black outfits this fall?
