1994

   Summer is finally coming to an end soon and that means back to school for the Fall semester. This will be my second year of college and I'm pretty excited to attend Santa Monica College! I'm pursing a career in Fashion/Visual Merchandising. Any of you guys starting school or already started school? Tell me what you guys are pursuing a career!  

Cat Denim Jacket: UNIF 
Shorts: Thrifted

 This whole look was based around 90's for the Steve Madden x Nordstrom contest that I found out from Eugenie from Feral Creature! I think I was going for a total 90's valley girl because in all honesty, that's what I am at heart. You can peep my Pinterest to see where I got my 90'a inspiration from. Now for the look, I based it all around denim and funky designs. I wore some thrifted high-waisted shorts and a crop top from AMIClubwear, with my UNIF jacket. To finish off the outfit, of course I had to wear my all time favorite Steve Madden chunky sandals. Is this not screaming 90's to you? lol. 

   Want to join the 90's fun? Show your best 90's look for a chance to win a trip to NYC to hangout with Steve Madden himself! Post your look on Instagram with hashtag #SMxNordstrom to enter. The top interpretations will be featured on Nordstrom.com. Let me know if you guys are going to entered so I can be on the look out! Can't wait to see!

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! ♡

Hat c/o Calico
Boho Dress: Hand-me-down
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! ♡

BLONDE AND INKED

   Hi friends! Long time, no read. Spring semester is finally over (well technically next week) and I have WAY more time and motivation on my hands now. As you can see I kinda went through an identity crisis and went blonde and got tatted up ( I'll get to that in second.) I'll be moving in 2 weeks to Santa Monica to attend SMC so I'm super excited. It's a change of scenery, people, and more importantly food. My cousin cooks amazingly so I'll be stuffing my face non-stop. How is everyone else doing? Aren't you glad this semester is finally over?

Hat c/o Calico
Sandals: Nasty Gal (similar)

   Ever since I dyed my hair, I've been wearing nothing but black. I'm not quite sure how to wear my hair now where it doesn't clash with what I want to wear. If you have any tips, let me know because this has become a real challenge for me. I wanted to show off my tattoos so I put on this crop tank I bought from eBay and layered underneath is my all time favorite Unif Salem Bra to add that harness feel to it. Then I of course put on my Zara jeans because they make my butt look nice lol. And finally I finish the outfit with the Nasty Gal Shoe Cult Alkali Flatforms. I felt like the flatforms adds a pop to the look where it just isn't a bland all black outfit.  
   
   Now I'm going to talk about the totally cool Ink Box tattoos I have. Ink Box is a fruit-based tattoo kit that dyes your skin to look like a real tattoo for two weeks. Every tattoo is is hand-cut and their ink is certified organic. It's a no-pain no-gain type of deal, which I love! I've been dying to get a tattoo but too terrified of the pain. These are my first tattoos from them and it came out pretty good, even the fact I did everything with one hand lol. I HIGHLY recommend them if you're not ready to make a commitment with a tattoo or like me, afraid of the pain. Make sure to check them out and let me know if you bought any! They has tons of stencils to choose from! Also, a percentage of every sale goes towards supporting local indigenous communities in Panama, where their ink is from. That's real important to me because that's where my family is from so please help out! ♡

SHORT AND SIMPLE

   Hi friends! It's a pretty late post but I wouldn't have time to work on it until I got out of school. One thing to know about me, I'm so lazy that it actually helps with getting work early.... sometimes. Anyway I'm going to make this a pretty short and simple (just like me) post. 

Wide Brim Hat c/o Calico
Cat Denim Jacket: UNIF ( Sold out everywhere )
Fringe Necklace: Forever 21 (Similar)
Micromesh Shirt: American Apparel ( BUY NOW )
Shorts: Thirfted
Socks: Windsor
Fringe Booties c/o Heavenly Couture

Yes, it's that time of the year. Bring on the booty shorts, thigh high socks, and all things animal print. It's festival season guys and unlike the cool bloggers, I shall be resting my ass at home watching Heros or re-watching Cowboy Bebop and taking a self defense class. But there is always that "if I would've of gone, I would wear this" factor. Yup, just the usual dramatic prints with dramatic edge a.k.a "I'm going to a festival but don't talk to me" look. 

Oh yeah guys, I made a DEPOP! I'm trying to get rid of some clothes (like the American Apparel Shirt I'm wearing here) I don't wear so I can save up for a car because adulthood. Please check it out and shop my closet! ♡

So much for short, huh?

UNIF KITTY GONE BAD + 10 FACTS ABOUT ME

   Happy Spring everyone! I'm super excited for the flowers to bloom and 70 degree weather. So I stole this idea from one of my favorite fashion bloggers Keit of Beauty in Insanity for listing 10 random things about me so let us begin! *dun-dun-duuuuun*

  1. I went to a total of 7 different schools from K-12 because my family moved around a lot.
  2. I'm number 4 out of 6 siblings (wow, I know lol)
  3. I actually have a chipped tooth from falling down while skateboarding when I was in 7th grade. Never rode one again lol
  4. I don't know how to swim. I am terrified of water lol
  5. I cuss a lot. Maybe too much, nah.
  6. I learned how to read by playing Final Fantasy 7.
  7. I cut my hair when I'm bored because yolo.
  8. I used to hate Forever 21 because it was so popular. I currently wear it now because it's cheap lol
  9. I used to be a scene kid *cough*
  10. I've been taking my own pictures since 2009. Shout out to my tripod!
Now that's ten facts about me, share one or a few with me! Make sure to check out Keit's blog for amazing vintage finds + she's hilarious! ♡


Cat Denim Jacket: UNIF ( Sold out everywhere )
Deep V- Neck Body Suit: Image ( similar )
Shorts: Thrifted
Ankle Boots: H&M ( similar )

   Now, I know this isn't your typical Spring outfit. I mean, where's all the floral at? I've been dying to style this amazing UNIF jacket that I purchased off Poshmark for such a discounted price ( $150 $75). Right? For those who don't know about Poshmark, it's an mobile app that allows you to purchase straight from other peoples closet or sell clothes from your own closet! This was the best purchase yet!The studded shoulder detail makes the jacket super edgy but it definitely makes it a bit heavy too. I just love the whole DIY vibe of the jacket too. To make it pop, I went with an all black outfit that includes a deep v-neck bodysuit from Image, vintage shorts, and my 'ol so comfy H&M ankle boots. Starting spring with the right edge ♡
