TGIF!! I’m so excited to share with you a special project I’m working with my dear friend Pam, from the well known eBay vintage store, California Vintage Connect! I’ve known Pam for about 3 years now and she has always been there and supported me in my styling career! She’s taking a huge step in creating her own website outside of eBay called CVC Vault! This is one vintage dress that will be selling on CVC Vault soon! We have some amazing shoots coming up for the launch that I can’t wait to share with you all! Stay tuned for more amazing vintage coming your way. <3

Today is Friday, which means it’s time to make a BOLD statement!! I couldn’t get enough of Naven’s vibrant blue dress from Moderne, the sweetheart bodice, and gold rope straps create a unique dress that is sure to stand out amongst the crowd. I decided to up the wow-factor of this outfit with my sheer galaxy moto jacket to give it some edge and texture.
You must know by now how much I love the online boutique, Moderne, and speaking of which, I’ll be at The Sugar Room Summer Pop-Up Boutique event in Pacific Beach (San Diego) tomorrow with the lovely ladies from Moderne! Moderne will be selling their amazing MinkPink, Lovers + Friends, Naven, Wildfox and MORE at tomorrow’s event! Be sure to stop by, I hope to see you there.

Happy Friday everyone!! The weather is gorgeous outside and it’s finally the weekend (almost hehe). Today’s outfit is very laid back with a fun statement piece! These tribal printed shorts were a deal from Marshalls ($14.99 compared to $28 retail value!). The flared sleeves on this gorgeous Mumu shirt is the perfect bohemian touch to this chill look. I accessorized it with fun printed wedges & colorful jewelry.
Have a great weekend loves! I’m super excited to relax and have no plans (for once)!!

Outfit details: Dress: H&M from Fashion Star; Belt: Vintage (similar); Sandals: Steve Madden; Bag: Imoshion; Bracelet: Forever 21(similar)
When I first saw this dress on NBC’s Fashion Star, I KNEW I had to get my hands on it. Unfortunately it sold out in all the H&M stores in my area plus online right away. I searched all over Ebay but the prices were pretty high for its original price. A couple of weeks ago I decided to look again and there was one buyer you sold it for a lot cheaper than the other Ebay sellers!! 
It came in right away and I wore it on my date with my boyfriend to watch WICKED.
I absolutely love the all-over prints, how fitted it is, and the gorgeous v-neck back! Of course I wanted my dress to be the main focus of my look, so I accessorized with neutral sandals, jewelry and a clutch.

I found this gorgeous lilac lace Free People dress at MARSHALLS! Gotta love Marshalls, they have such great brands and products with affordable prices. The lace sleeves and ruched bodice create a very ladylike outfit. I love how precious this dress looks and feels, and I decided to complement the dress by pairing it with nude sandals, a white cross body bag, and stacks of bracelets.
Tomorrow’s FRIDAY!! Woohoo! <3

Hello everyone! My weekend was relaxing (much needed); I thrift store shopped looking for props for my upcoming lookbook shoot for work, and found amazing colored blazers, jewelry, and shoes! Today’s outfit is packed with red, black, florals and leather. Edgy with a feminine twist? Down.
This week is going to be hectic at work, it will be packed with prepping for the lookbook, coordinating all the details and logistics, plus actually shooting the lookbook this Thursday. We scouted the hotel a couple of weeks ago and we will be shooting at the gorgeous Lafayette Hotel in San Diego. It has a great vintage feel and that is exactly what we’re going for (Vintage Americana). Stay tuned for behind the scenes pictures this week, I’m sure you’ll recognize our models. I’ll give you a hint, they are two huge fashion bloggers!
Happy Monday!

Outfit details: Tee: Wildfox Couture c/o Moderne; Jeans: Insight (similar here); Sandals: Steve Madden; Sunglasses: Vintage
It’s already Monday?? Took me forever to get up this morning, but my cup of coffee definitely helped me out. I hope everyone who went to Coachella had the best time, I was vicariously living through all of your Instagram posts haha! Today I’m wearing these incredible floral jeans from Insight and this Wildfox baggy tee/dress from Moderne! The mix of these two channels the 70′s, and mixing it with these floral sandals adds my own kind of touch to this outfit. I’m having so much fun mixing and matching prints together and I think it’s totally worth buying printed & colorful sandals for an instant POP of color! <3

Outfit details: Suede dress: (similar in brown) c/o Killer Styling; Sunglasses: Andrew Marc; Jewelry: Forever 21.
Who doesn’t love a green suede, mini dress with an open back?? This vintage dress from Killer Styling has the right amount of edginess, femininity, and class for Spring! I love the open back, plus the color is to-die-for!! I’m definitely going to take advantage of this gorgeous Thursday since it’s going to rain tomorrow (boooo!). Hope everyone has a great time at Coachella this weekend, can’t wait to see all of your gorgeous outfits.

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
