Hey guys!! Here is my first outfit post taken in Philly! I’ve lived here for almost two months now, but with the new job, moving, etc. it’s been so hard to take pictures for my blog.  But thanks to my girl Dylana I finally get to share with you a fun, layered outfit in Philly! :)  This day was so much fun, me and Dylana went to a local thrift store nearby and that’s where I scored this awesome oversized coat from The Limited!  I love oversized fits, and the prints and shape made me fall in love with it even more.  Plus, it’s so easy to layer with since it is so oversized. ;)

I hope you guys are having a great weekend! <3

Outfit details: Sweater: ZARA; Dress (styled as a skirt): Free People; Booties: Dolce Vita; Hat: Cotton On (similar); Bag: DSW

I found this gorgeous dark teal/silver Free People dress at my favorite consignment store and it was at the right time! I love the holidays and this dress is a perfect touch of sparkle and glitter without all the fuss. :)  I styled this dress as a skirt for a more daytime casual look.  This knit sweater from ZARA keeps this look comfy & cozy! I accessorized with stockings (must-have staple this season!) and black accessories for a fun, daytime outfit!

I’m ALMOST done packing and my dad is coming down to help me pack and clean up before we make our drive up to the Bay Area for Christmas! Me and my boyfriend went to Disneyland earlier this week and it was so much fun to see all the amazing Christmas decor and see all the new rides and attractions! If you haven’t been to Disneyland during the holidays it’s a must! <3

Keep warm loves!! ;)

Today’s Outfit: I’m READY!

Outfit details: Dress, Cardigan, Necklace: Free People; Arrow necklace: c/o Lilac Bijoux; Beanie: Cotton On; Booties: GoJane

Hi loves!

As you might remember in a previous post, I have HUGE news to tell all of my amazing readers. Are you ready?? ….

You’re looking at the newest Web Stylist for Free People at the Urban Outfitters’ headquarters!! :) And, the headquarters is based in PHILADELPHIA! I’m moving to the East Coast, baby! I am beyond excited and still in shock.  It’s been a huge dream of mine to move to the East Coast, and I’m finally starting to achieve my dreams in my career!

It’s been a long but worthwhile journey getting to where I am in my styling career, and I cannot be more thankful for all of my loved ones’ support and encouragement.  I don’t think I could have done it without you guys (you know who you are!).  As you might know, I started styling about four years ago in college and have fell in love with this career ever since.  I’ve always been interested in fashion but I knew that fashion design wasn’t for me.  I’m more about the overall vision and aesthetics, so styling just worked perfectly!  There have definitely been a lot of ups and downs throughout these four years, but I overcame and dealt with each obstacle head on, thanks to my amazing team and support system!!

Here’s to a new and exciting chapter in my life! Philadelphia ain’t ready for me. ;)

I want to thank all of my amazing readers for your constant support and loyalty, this blog is almost hitting its 1 year anniversary and the success is all thanks to YOU! Thank you thank you thank you!! I’ll be sure to keep up with this blog when I move to Philly and share with you all my new experiences!  And if you recommend any places I have to see, eat, or any good areas to live in South Philly that you can suggest that’d be amazing!!

AHHH! <3

love you all!

Outfit details: Shorts: MINKPINK c/o Lulus; Top: Leidi from DJPremium (similar); Jacket: Target; Booties: GoJane.com (similar); Necklace: gifted Sira & Mara USA; Hat: Cotton On (similar)

Hi everyone!! Is it really Fall in San Diego!?  Stepping outside to the cool, crisp air and wind  made me so excited to finally wear all my Fall coats and layers!  Yesterday was me and my boyfriend’s 8th year anniversary! (yes on 11.11 hehe) He definitely knows me, he took me on a SHOPPING SPREE! As a stylist and fashionista, that was the best present ever, aside from being with him also. ;) And as for me, I love buying clothes for him (I’m pretty much his stylist haha) so I found this amazing jacket in a cognac brown color that he doesn’t have yet.  It looked great on him!

These MINKPINK slashed baroque shorts are perfect for Summer and Fall!  To make it Fall appropriate, I paired it with darker and heavier layers.  The fall essentials — tights, booties, jacket & felt hat — are much needed to create an amazing Fall look!

Have an amazing week! Thank you for reading. :)

Happy Monday!

I am in love with these floral pants, I love how artistic the print looks.  It’s perfect for the day with light layers and gold accessories, and can easily be transitioned into night with black pieces!  In order to really make the pants stand out, I paired them with a boho-inspired top, clean and feminine heels, and a pop of color bag! <3

Have a great weekend!

Outfit details: Dress: Maurie & Eve c/o Melt Management; Necklace: TJ Maxx; Purse: Cuore & Pelle c/o Style Mined; Heels: JS by Jessica Simpson

Seriously, Maurie & Eve can do no wrong. Their beautiful dresses got me obsessed with the peplum trend AND their gorgeous prints.  Plus the sheer back is such a fun little surprise. ;) My new cream purse from Style Mined is amazing and one of a kind! I love the classic color, shape and the fact that it can basically fit my entire life in it!

This week is pretty hectic for me, I’ve been busy with planning lookbooks, feature shoots, and more for work.  Please forgive me for not writing much today! :) I’ll make it up to you guys soon, promise. <3

Get Her Look: Ashley Madekwe

3.1 Phillip Lim blouse, $127; Cacheral skirt, $175; Tinley Road earrings, $14.97; Poppie Jones bag, $24.95; JustFab heels, $59.99.

So I have to admit, I am obsessed with the tv show REVENGE!  Who else watches it?? I’m hooked. Ashley Madekwe is not only an amazing actress on the tv show, but her style and fashion sense is an inspiration for many, including me!  I love her style on the show and off duty, she masters the relaxed, comfy chic look very well!  This specific outfit from an event is the perfect blend of sophistication and class.  The light pink sheer blouse with a geometric printed dress create a very feminine silhouette, and the studded bag and chunky heels add the right amount of edge.

Today’s Outfit: Moonlight Tribal

Outfit details: Dress: For Love & Lemons c/o Lobby; Jacket: UNIF c/o Lobby; Booties: MyHotShoes; Hat: Cotton On

Hi loves! Time to kick start this coming work week with a bang!  I absolutely love this For Love & Lemons dress, the bohemian vibe, flared sleeves, and cut out center detailing works wonders!  For Love & Lemons knows the exact places to emphasize a woman’s body, and their cut outs are their signature! To make this outfit a bit more fun, I layered over a UNIF tribal jacket with black faux fur lining for the ultimate bad-ass Fall look!

Have an amazing week!! <3
