Almost the end of the week! Gotta hang in there. ;) This statement dress from Lobby store is pretty freakin sweet.  I love how it’s a color blocked dress with cut out details in the mid section.  Who would wear this dress out?! ;) You can clearly tell I’m having too much fun wearing this dress haha!

Outfit details: Dress: For Love & Lemons c/o Lobby Store; Bracelet: gifted Sira & Mara USA; Sandals: Madden Girl; Necklace: TJ Maxx

HELLO again!! Oh man it’s been so long!  I just got home from the Bay Area (my hometown) for my sister’s wedding! :)  It was such a great weekend of family reunions, good times, and family bonding.  We had family visiting from Canada, Philippines, New York/New Jersey and more!  I think I ran out of tears from that day haha (happy tears of course!).  I’ll for sure post some pictures from that day later this week!  Right now I’m currently stuck at home sick with a fever and sore throat, I guess I partied too hard this weekend. :P

Today’s outfit highlights this gorggg For Love & Lemons dress from Lobby Store in Costa Mesa!  The high-low hemline, huge floral prints, and flowy material make an effortlessly chic and feminine look.  I kept the accessories simple and edgy with this spiked silver necklace, and a detailed chain and rope bracelet I got from Sira & Mara USA!

Today’s Outfit: Dipped in Floral

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

Today’s Outfit: Peplum Floral Skirt

Photography by Joshua Allen Green

Outfit details: Top: Lovers + Friends c/o Moderne; Denim shirt: c/o Lobby (similar); Peplum skirt: c/o Lobby (similar); Jewelry: Forever 21 & Vintage, Booties: Lucky Brand (similar).

I had so much fun creating this outfit!! Peplum is such a huge trend this Spring, and I adore the floral print against the black skirt, it’s definitely a new take on the skirt silhouette. :) I created a casual-chic look by pairing it with a crochet crop top (VERY on trend!) and a denim button down.  Just had a crazy busy photo-shoot for work this morning and I finally had time to eat lunch! Phew ;)

Happy Wednesday!

Today’s Outfit: Candy Canes

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! :)

Today’s Outfit: All Smiles

Outfit details: Top: Lovers + Friends c/o Lobby Store; Skirt: MINKPINK c/o Moderne; Heels: Jellypop; Jewelry: Bracelets

YAYY So glad it’s finally Friday!! :)   The sun is out and all I hope for is to get out of work early so I can soak up the sun and shop for some goodies. Today’s outfit is definitely one of my signature go-to outfits.  I love a fun printed mini skirt (this MINKPINK paisley skirt has such a gorgeous and flattering print) and a detailed blouse (like this Lovers + Friends scallop detailed blouse) for an ultra-feminine look. I’m all smiles today. Got my tax return AND my first bonus from work, time to play!! :) hehe jk, I’ve got to save up for my much-needed trip to NYC and Hawaii (crosses fingers!).

Hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend! I will be relaxing with good company tonight and tomorrow, then prepping for an amazing Free People inspired photo shoot on Sunday with a talented team. :)
