Exclusive! Baghaus Fall Lookbook

Baghaus is an online boutique that sells gorgeous, one of a kind handbags for both men and women!  I am still obsessed with this Urban Expressions bag I received from them, it’s extremely verstaile and the quilted detail is to die for!  I’m excited to share with you an exclusive sneak peek of Baghaus’ Fall 2012 Lookbook! I love how they emphasized color, prints, and texture for Fall!  Even though the seasons changing does not mean to have to get rid of your brightest brights!  This lookbook is well put together and is instant style inspiration for your upcoming Fall looks, enjoy loves! <3

Inspiration: Neutral + Neon

1. Michael Kors; 2. Michael Kors; 3: Topshop; 4. Chan Luu; 5. Brian Atwood

Neutral shades are perfect for these sunny days here in San Diego.  Time to wear lightweight layers and neutrals are the way to go for a timeless and classic look.  To make it more modern and on-trend, add a pop of neon color to your outfit!  I love this Chan Luu neon bracelet, the details are exquisite and have great texture!  I am in love with these Brian Atwood flats, these are the go-to flats for me since I’m always on the go!

Last Saturday was definitely an adventure!! As you can tell by these amazing images (oh how I loveee Instagram, who else is addicted?!), we roadtripped to the middle nowhere to Niland, CA where Salvation Mountain lies.  After driving 3 hours through the endless miles of desert and bare land, all of our jaws dropped when we first saw this amazing location. The long drive there and back, resulting in a 12-hour day, was incredibly worth it, especially with my dream team!! <3 We played with color, florals, prints, and fun textures (typical me, duh.), Jennifer is such an INSANE model and I was so excited to finally style this gorgeous model. It’s days like these that make me really blessed and thankful to work with such talented individuals. :)

Outfit details: Dress: Charlie Jade c/o Moderne, Sunglasses: Vintage, Jewelry: Forever 21, Sandals: Steve Madden

Happy Friday!! This week went by pretty slow because of the time change, did it feel the same for you?! Though it’s going to rain all weekend (tear), I’m starting my Friday off with bright color to keep me in an uplifted mood. ;) Thanks for ShopModerne.com, this gorgeous Charlie Jade dress has such a vibrant print that is such a stand-out piece this Spring!  It was so much fun rocking this with printed sandals (mix of prints, duh!) and stacks and stacks of arm candy.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I’m planning to stay in during the rainy weather, cuddle up with my puppy, and watch TBS movies allllll day. ;)

Outfit details: Coat & top: Forever 21 (similar top here), Shorts: Vintage (similar here), Heels: Rampage, DIY Collar

I either went overboard with color or did the right amount, either way COLOR is very on-trend this Spring I decided to go all out and play with color! I’m a little color-crazed nowadays. ;)   A colorful outfit always brightens my day, and I love the different elements in this look.
