Ahhh, Monday already?!

Today’s Outfit: Floral Birdies

Photos by Kyle Ong

Outfit details: Top: Marshalls (similar); Jacket: Luella for Target; Shorts: gifted Fox House; Bag: London Fog from Ross; Wedges: Matty’s at DSW.

Mixing dainty prints together has been one of my favorite things when styling my outfits.  I love these feminine floral shorts from Fox House, they are so comfy, flowy and have a skirt silhouette.  This sheer bird print tank top is perfect! I found it at Marshalls for only $9.99 and the pastel colors with the delicate print goes very well with my floral shorts.  I then decided to add another layer with this Luella for Target suede jacket that has scallop details and a gorgeous pink shade that ties the whole look together!

I hope you all had a great weekend!  Mine was definitely way more relaxing than the last weekend, I was able to relax with my boyfriend and pup and do errands that I’ve been meaning to get to! :P

Featured: Marshalls

This past Wednesday I was featured on Marshalls’ Facebook page!! I bought this adorable Free People dress from Marshalls about 2 months ago and fell in love when I first saw it.  The sheer sleeves, ruched bodice, and adorable lilac color was the perfect romantic-dress for Summer.

It was originally $180 but I got it for $59.99! Great deal right?? Marshalls is one of my go-to stores for finding trendy AND affordable pieces.  The best part is they get new inventory every week so it’s good to stop by at least once a week to see their new arrivals before they sell out!

You can see the entire feature HERE.  Thanks so much for reading! <3

Happy Monday!! :) I hope you all had a great weekend.  My weekend was filled with meetings on Saturday, and I worked on an amazing photo AND video shoot for my blog yesterday!  I can’t wait to share with you my latest projects that I’ve been working on.  Stay tuned. ;)

Today I’m totally loving the colorblocking trend still, but I love doing pastel colorblocking for Summer!  This gorgeous purple & orange colorblock cardigan from TheShopPR has insane back details which really make a statement.  I complemented the colors with floral printed shorts in pastel prints and a pastel blue clutch to add more flair!  I love this top from Marshalls, the neutral colors make it very wearable and I love the waterfall chiffon details on the front and back! And for $12.99, who can’t pass it up!? ;)

Thank you so much for reading! :)

Outfit details: Ikat pants: Chico’s (similar); Tank: Marshalls (similar); Jewelry: Tasha Spike Necklace, vintage; Jacket: Zara (similar)

I scored these Ikat printed pants (which are one of the big Spring trends!) from a local thrift store for only $10 and fell in love with the print, the fit, and how easy it makes such a huge statement! I decided to contrast the pants with a classic tweed jacket, and the spiked necklace and piles of bracelets edged up the entire outfit.

Guess who bought tickets to watch WICKED next month?! It was a birthday present to myself and I am soo excited to watch it with my boyfriend! :D Who has seen the play? My entire family saw and highly recommend it.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Today’s Outfit: Post Birthday!

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

Outfit details: Dress: gifted by BQUEEN; Heels: Carlos Santana from Marshalls (similar); Jean jacket: Thrifted (similar), Jewelry: Forever 21

Cinco de Mayo was my birthday and I’m now 23 years old! Can’t believe how fast time is passing by, it feels like I just moved to San Diego attending UCSD as a freshman, and now I graduated, working full time as a stylist and loving life. :) I love how birthdays really make you reflect on the past year and I’m so grateful for my constant support system of family and friends, plus all of the people I have met that has helped me in my career! I can only go up from here and I can’t wait to see what this year brings.

I was gifted this amazing bandage dress from BQUEEN recently and fell in love with the print and shape!  All it needed was an oversized denim jacket, platform heels, and fun jewelry to complete this look.  It was so much fun shooting on these insane colored tiles at Balboa Park, it definitely made the colors pop!

I’ll show some pictures from my birthday later today! <3
