One of the most fun days at work, when my boyfriend Kyle came with me to work to see me in action. :)  I loved having him visit, but the trip was wayy too short. :( 65b33b866ed711e2b9c422000a1f968f_7The gorgeous view from my new studio apartment!

Changes really are a good thing, despite the difficult times and hurdles, I know it’s all going to be worth it. ;) Thank you to all my amazing readers for your sweet emails of encouragement. <3

Today’s Outfit: Femme Florals

Photography by Josh Allen Green; Makeup/hair by KC Witkamp; Hair extensions by Trai Nguyen

Outfit details: Floral dress and blazer: Betsey Johnson; Lace top: H&M; Sandals: Jellypop

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: Candy Canes

Photography by Joshua Allen Green

Outfit details: Dress: c/o YA Los Angeles, Top: Lovers + Friends c/o Lobby Store, Sandals: Steve Madden (similar), Jewelry: Vintage

This strapless dress from YA Los Angeles (available at Piperlime.com) has the perfect asymmetrical shape (currently obsessed) and color for Spring! I think I would wear this to a Spring/Summer wedding as well, the strapless bodice has ruched details and it moves so effortlessly in the wind.  I decided to layer this dress with a silk blouse from Lovers + Friends, it has the same feel as the dress.  The light layers and whimsical feel this top brings adds the perfect feminine touch to this wind-loving outfit. ;)

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I definitely shopped to my heart’s content and had a fun test shoot with Emily Soto! You can check out some of the behind the scenes pictures on my Instagram (@smileforstyle), follow me! :)
