Free People top, $88; DITA sunglasses, $350; OBEY skirt, $83; Rebecca Minkoff bag, $250; Miu Miu pumps, $275.
Pleated skirts, peach natural color tones, and dainty accessories are perfect components to an error-free feminine chic look! Ever since her days in Laguna Beach and then The Hills, I have always been a fan of Lauren Conrad’s (LC!) effortlessly chic and easy breezy style!

This past Sunday I took a mini roadtrip to beautiful Laguna Beach with my dear friend and talented makeup artist, KC. 
I was especially excited/nervous/anxious/giddy that day because I was working with Stephanie Williams. Her photography style is very soft, feminine, and captivating. I have admired her work ever since I saw it on ShopRuche.com and fell in love. It truly was an honor working with such a talented and creative team!
I styled a very whimsical-inspired editorial, filled with lace, sequins, beaded details, and flowy pieces. I loved mixing all the different textures together, and playing with layering. Natalie was such a trooper during this crazy shoot (it was really cloudy and windy that day) especially for that last shot in the water!! I had the best time and these teaser pictures made it so worthwhile. <3

WOOHOO TGIF!! The sun is out and skies are blue…all I can think about is when I get off from work and enjoy the beautiful weather in sunny San Diego! This week has been so hectic, I am prepping for an amazing editorial shoot in Laguna Beach this weekend with a very talented team, and work has been crazy busy! I’m just thankful I can relax for a little bit tonight with great company before my busy weekend!
I have another illustration for today’s outfit from my amazing friend Kathy Fan! This is so adorable, and you can check out more of her artwork here!
