Pink Pom Poms

Shirt: American Apparel // Skirt: Random // Suede Heels: Steve Madden // Necklace: Forever 21


 Such a beautiful weekend! We had the perfect venue and weather to host a good friends bridal shower on Saturday down in La Jolla. Flowers and pink pom poms were everywhere. I wore this high wasted bright pink skirt and paired it with a burgundy chiffon top with poofy sleeves to take full advantage of getting to dress super girly for the event.

Styling tip: If you have bright colored bottom (skirt, pants... whatever) instead of paring it with the usual white or black top pick another color that compliments it and really makes your outfit unique and unexpected. People will notice!

WANTx5



I seriously do not think I can enjoy my weekend if I do not get at least one of these amazing items. How great are these 5 things?! Studded high waisted jean shorts- I mean who wouldn't want them. I just got shorts just like this from Zara and am seriously thinking about studding them up. This American Flag shirt is on the Nasty Gal website right now... getting out my credit card as I type... Also determined to find look alikes of these arrow earings and black/tan boots...so perfect in every way (sigh). You can find neon nail polish at Ulta right for for buy 2 get one free! Need this color NOW.

Have a good weekend! YOLO! hahaha

In the Lace


   
Dress: Foreign Exchange // Shoes: Steve Madden // Wrap Bracelet: Club Monaco

Love this little lace number with the key hole in the back. Foreign Exchange has seriously stepped their game up lately. Head in there the next time you're at the mall and I guarantee you'll find a nice little treasure at a good price. Next mission: what to wear to a bridal shower this weekend...

bright as the sun





Neon Pink Shirt: Madewell // Lace Shorts: H&M // Boots: Frye // Necklace: Brandy Melville // Sunglasses: Gucci // Watch: Michael Kors

I got to take some pictures right at sunset. It was so beautiful outside...perfect weather for shorts. I love the bright color with the white lace. I was determined to find white lace shorts at a cheap price and lucked out finding these for $15 :) Much better than the $100 pair I saw (store to remain nameless) that first inspired my mad white lace hunt. And a jean jacket makes any outfit look a little more funky. I was obsessed with these boots the second I saw them and knew my entire existence would not be complete until they were mine. Sometimes you need to save and sometimes you need to splurge ;)

Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine!

Outfit To Go








Jeans: Madewell // Shirt: Kaitlyn // Bracelets (From left): Dowtown LA, BrandyMelville, Downtown LA, King Fisher Road, and the purple I made myself!


I wore my new minty-lime jeans to work today and wanted to show you guys my outfit… so on my lunch break a snapped a few shots myself as I was trying to stuff my face with cheese and chips (hence the not-so-great quality of the pics). Sorry there isn’t a head to toe pic…my arms aren’t that long.
I love my arm candy today! I got some new bracelets this past weekend and threw them all on at once. You can never have too many.
I rolled up the jeans at the bottom for a more casual, undone look and paired them with this blue top instead of black or white which would have been much more obvious choices. I’m really eating up all the colored jeans and shorts so easily available lately!

Cost savings tip: I got these jeans for $125 at Madewell, but head to the American Eagle website and find an almost identical pair for less than half the price! I’ll be getting my next colored pair there fo sho.

Cold Factor







Sweater: Brandy Melville // Shorts: Urban Outfitters // Necklace: Timeless, Studio City // 
White tank: Forever21 // Heels: Aldo // Wrap Around Bracelet: Club Monaco 

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and survived Coachella! For the few of us who didn't get to hippie it up in Indio this weekend I hope you got to get in as much great shopping as I did!

 I kept wanting it to be warm and summery this weekend hence the shorts and tank but the cold kept sneaking up on me so I had to throw on something to keep me warm. I always love the combo of shorts with big baggy sweaters. And since I didn't have any color in my outfit I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to wear my bright orange fringe necklace which I love since it is really an outfit in itself. Big bold necklaces always pull an outfit together. 

I got another bright orange surprise in downtown LA this weekend that I can't wait to show you guys! Enjoy your day!

Panama Skies


Heading to this beautiful Panama paradise in June! I was just looking through some pictures online and couldn't help but get inspired and super excited to start planning my beach attire. Here are some goodies I will def be bringing with...


Little black bikini, flowered bra bikini, L Space fringe top in lime green... I purchased this one already! These sandals are a definite must... you can pick them up at stevemadden.com

Now I know what you're thinking... Panama?! In Centrral America? Isn't that a little dangerous?? Well even if it is, I'll stick to where the tourists are and this beautiful scenary and simply getting away from work will definitely be worth the risk. The count down is on for sunny skies and crystal clear waters! 

Have a great day!
xoxo

Two Faced








I got to take a little break and work from home today. Sure is nice to sit on a couch instead of an office chair once in a while! Plus, I had some time to run a few errands I never seem to have time to squeeze in. I decided to throw on this black/cream sheer button up since it may be a little inappropriate for the office if you know what i mean... I picked it up at Forever 21 this past weekend. I love how its completely black in the front and cream in the back. They only had one large left but it worked when I hiked it up a little a lot with my studded JCrew belt. I got the neon shoulder bag from Forever too! They had tons of new stuff and lots of neon! It was amazing actually (and a little embarrassing) how much money I spent there. Heels are Madden Girl, my Michael Kors watch of course, gold ring from the flea market and black bracelet from my sister's wedding. Bracing for the rain tomorrow!!!

Spring is in the air people!
