Outfit details: Skirt: J.Crew (another floral option here); Top & Denim jacket: GAP; Heels: Steve Madden; Sunglasses: Raybans; Jewelry: DUDINE NYC c/o Moderne

Monday, again?! Hahaha, the weekends keep going by faster and faster :P MY weekend was pretty eventful and definitely BUSY! Yesterday I styled a Holiday loookbook for Moderne with the owner, Janet, and it was AMAZING! We shot at the gorgeous restaurant, Burlap, in Del Mar (so if you’re a local in San Diego this is a must-see spot for brunch!!). We featured gorgeous dresses from Lovers + Friends and MINKPINK, which all be available on ShopModerne.com very soon.  After doing this lookbook, I instantly got more excited for the Holidays. It’s October already?!

This outfit is such a great outfit for work, brunch with friends, or even walking around in the city!  Can you believe that the jacket, top, AND skirt were all from a thrift store?! I think all of those pieces cost me less than $30. ;) I love how this JCrew skirt flares out at the bottom but is very fitted and polished at the top.  What do you think??

W/E Manila: Ask a Stylist Feature!

Hi everyone!

Here is my first “Ask A Stylist” feature in WearEveryday Manila, a fashion blog based in the Philippines that covers fashion, events, inspiration, and much more! In the first feature, I show you how to mix and match different prints together. Florals, animal prints, and bird/insect prints are big trends this season, and here are three looks I styled that incorporate all of these trends! :) Click here to see the rest of the feature!

I found this Betsey Johnson dress/blazer set at a thrift store for only $30!!! I love the floral on floral trend right now, and the peek of my white lace blouse gives the perfect feminine touch.

Have a great Wednesday!! Follow me on Instagram (@smileforstyle) for live behind the scenes footage from the shoot tomorrow. ;)

Today’s Outfit: Dipped in Floral

Photography by Joshua Allen Green

Outfit details: Dress: Lovers + Friends (buy here) c/o Lobby; Sandals: Jellypop; Jewelry: Vintage/Thrifted (similar choker) (similar bracelet).

Isn’t it obvious how much I LOVE florals for Spring?! Haha ;) This gorgeous Lovers + Friends dress has the perfect floral print and the shape of this dress is extremely flattering and fits so well.  Mixing florals is another one of my fave trends, and these Jellypop shoes (which are INCREDIBLY comfortable and only $45 at DSW!) add the perfect touch to this look.  I accessorized with my gold vintage choker and piled on watches and bracelets.

Happy Wednesday!! This week has been pretty good for me, though its kinda gloomy in San Diego, I ain’t complaining. ;) I can’t wait to share with you a fun project I’ve been working on at my day job!! I’ll post it soon, stay tuned! <3
