Striped Cutout

Loving this Forever21 dress. It has a sweetheart cutout, it shows enough skin without me feeling too exposed.

Summer is here! 

Time to post summer appropriate office outfits. 

Long sleeve chiffon top and a colored pleated skirt is fun and business appropriate. 

Wear it with confidence!

Floral + Black

I have a fashion crush on floral prints. 

It has always been my go-to print. When it comes to clothes and accessories, I have many floral pieces everywhere. 

Found these floral printed pants on sale at H&M for $10. You know me I love a bargain. I decided to pair the printed pants with a simple black shirt and heels. Nothing too overpowering. Plus, it keeps the outfit simple and classy. 

I practically use my Michael Kors top handle bag everyday. I love it. 

Thanks for taking the time to read and view my blog!

Polished

Time for the Winter to Spring transition!

I like wearing sweaters over dresses because it gives my dresses more purposes than just a dress. Put a sweater over it and it's a skirt! I'm saving money and finding new outfits at the same time.

Accessorized with a 1920's inspired hat from Target gives an outfit a polished style look. Wore Jimmy Choo boots that my boyfriend got me from Nordstrom Rack for only $79! Awesome deal! Original price was $950! The boots give the outfit a modern edgy feel.

Firmoo glasses for you

Hi everyone! 

If you're like me, you wear contacts and glasses. Lately I've been wearing glasses a lot because it's just quicker and faster. 

The glasses I am wearing are courtesy of www.Firmoo.com

I've always wanted really big thick glasses. Don't judge me, but I like them because I think I get a clearer vision. The glasses I'm wearing is Firmoo Unisex full frame (http://www.firmoo.com/eyeglasses-p-2066.html)

The first time I got these glasses I was so excited! I got many compliments from my coworkers about these glasses. Since these frames have larger lenses, I feel that I get better vision just because the frames are so big. One thing that I would change about these frames is that the ear piece hurts my right ear. But that's alright. Not all frames are gonna fit anyone's head perfectly. Other than that, I am in love with these glasses. 

For a FREE first pair of glasses from Firmoo check out http://www.Firmoo.com/free-glasses.html

Happy Monday!!

Light Painting

This was a last minute photo shoot with my lovely friend Jamie Balaoro and Alexis Casillas! She used a technique called Light Painting. 

I don't know much about it, but the process is basically this. You're in the complete dark while other ppl shine flashlights on you and on the background. But the thing is, you have to sit still, you cannot move at all!!! Otherwise the picture turns out blurry. 

So I had to sit still for about 20 seconds. It doesn't sound like a long time, but trust me, it is if you can't move. I even decided to hold my breath that way there was no movement. It worked because the pictures turned out really good!!!

What I'm wearing:

Prabal Gurung for Target Dress

Steve Madden Blue Platform heels

Michael Michael Kors black top handle purse

Have a happy weekend everyone!

Tourist Day

Hey everyone!

It's been a while since my last post. The past month has been super crazy! Doing some renovations on 2 of the bathrooms in the house so it's been pretty hectic. Then I had the flu which was a horrible and terrible experience. Now I'm all better and able to post outfits....YAY! 

My OOTD for being a tourist for a day in the beautiful city of San Francisco!

Day 6

Late outfit post

Today is me and my boyfriend's 47 months together and to celebrate we spent the whole afternoon together. This is the outfit that I wore.

My first outfit post of 2013!

Jean Jacket from Nordstrom Rack

Basic Black Scoopneck top from Forever21

Basic Black Maxi Skirt also from Forever21

Necklace from H&M

As many of you know, I have embarked on a 365 day fashion experiment. It involves wearing what I already have in my closet for the whole year and buying clothes/shoes/accessories only if it is TRULY necessary!! 

Day 6 and so far so good!

Check back often for my progress

Organized for the New Year

Hey everyone! 

Take a look at my Before and After pics of my closets. Out with the old! It feels good to have an organized closet! I hope I can keep it that way! Can't wait to post my first outfit post for 2013! 

I hope that I have enough clothes/shoes/accessories to last me for the whole year! That's my 365 fashion experiment. With all the money I'm going to save, I can pay off my student loan! 

I gotta stay focused! But I plan on treating myself every 3 months (for the winter, spring, summer and fall seasons) by buying $100 of clothing that I need for the change of seasons. 

Let's see how this goes! But so far it's DAY 5 of the New Year and I've been doing pretty good. However, on DAY 3, I bought 3 pairs of gloves at Target...but they were on clearance! They ranged from $3-$15 so it was a good deal!

Can't wait to post my first outfit post for 2013!

After a couple hours of organized, I only ended up donating 2 bags of clothes and shoes!

What was your New Year's Resolution?

Autumn Sun

Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends. 

I wanted to share with you a couple of my purchases that I got during the Black Friday shopping madness! 

Black Friday Deals:

Talula Military Jacket (10% off at Aritzia) 

Striped Abercrombie & Fitch Dress (40% off at A&F outlet)

From my closet:

Enzo Angiolini Boots

Thrifted Dooney & Burke Purse

Rayban Wayfarer Sunglasses

I literally wore this outfit the day after I bought them. The Abercrombie & Fitch dress works perfectly with the green military inspired jacket from Aritzia. Which were both great deals. The dress was originally $40 but I got it for $25! The jacket was on sale for $100, but it was well worth it because I will get a lot of uses from it. 

Pictures are courtesy of my friend, Jamie Balaoro! 

I'll post some Holiday Outfit ideas soon!

Shine in Gold

Sorry for the limited outfit posts :(

But finally a new outfit post! Maybe I can provide you with some outfit inspiration for this holiday season!

The Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching!!! Time to feast on turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and pie <3 It's also a time where we can all get a little dressed up for the holiday season.

My family and I are still unsure of where we're going to go on Thanksgiving. Either going to a relatives house or we're just going to stay at home. Either way, I'll be with my family and that's all that matters.

I may not know where I'm going, but I do know what to wear.

An all gold ensemble!

I kinda feel like I look like wrapping paper.

Best part is, this outfit cost me less than $50! Of course this doesn't include the shoes. The top is from Forever21 only cost me $17 and the embellished gold filigree print skirt was a thrift store find at Crossroads Trading Co for only $8.50!!!

Top: Forever21

Skirt: Crossroads Trading Co

Tights: H&M

Heels: Calvin Klein

Happy Early Thanksgiving everyone!!! Be safe, be happy and get dressed up!

Textured Maxi

Hello Everyone! Something that makes my Monday bearable is taking pics of my outfit for this blog. Gives me something to look forward to since Mondays is usually tough. 

I'm obsessed with maxi's and lace and this dress has both. Found this dress at Urban Outfitters for $69. I like how this dress is deceptively sexy. It has a slight slit on the side and a see through lace back. There's just something about this maxi that I find romantic, girly and sexy. I also love the texture of this maxi dress. It combines lace material and heather gray cotton together so perfectly!

Only accessorized with my teal sunglasses because it was sunny outside. But I will definitely invest in some cute bracelets and rings. More reason to go shopping! 

Dress: Kimchi Blue from Urban Outfitters

Sunglasses: Target

This dress is a happy addition to my wardrobe. I think it's the perfect transition piece for summer to fall. 

What to do guys think of my outfit? Let me know!
