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.

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!

Prabal Gurung for Target

Hello Everyone!!

In less than a month, Prabal Gurung for Target arrives in Target stores. I'm using my once every 3 months shopping pass for this event! (How can I pass this up?!) For those of you who don't know, I've restricted myself to shopping only once every 3 months as part of my New Year's resolution...to make matters interesting I only gave myself a $100-150 limit! I even made myself 4 shopping passes to use for shopping trips, it helps keep me focused on my goal on shopping less.

Perfect timing for Valentine's Day, Prabal Gurung x Target collection comes to stores on Sunday, February 10!
Mark your calendars!

Celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Victoria Beckham and The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton have all worn his designs.

The dress below is the dress that I have been obsessing over!

It's adorable, chic and very daring.

I can't show all of his designs, but below are just some of my favorite pieces from this designer collaboration for Target.

When it comes to February 10, I'll be waiting anxiously outside Target stores to be one of the first people to purchase Prabal Gurung's collection for Target! 

Prices range for $14.99-$199.99 and it includes everything from jewelry, shoes, handbags and clothing! 

Ladies, we'll be springtime chic with this collection

Designer collaborations for Target are always a success and this one shouldn't be any different. Last year, I tried to get the Jason Wu for Target collection and things didn't go the way I planned. Pieces sold out fast! On eBay it was selling for double the price! So for Prabal Gurung, I'm gonna be prepared!

Tips on how to shop Target's designer collection:

1. Call and make sure the Target store carried the collection

2. Get to the store before they open

3. Grab everything you like!!! You can always return or resell!

Happy Friday! Let's go enjoy the weekend.

BTW, progress on my Shop Less, resolution is so far so good! Day 11 and still going strong! I'm going to use my 1 of 4 shopping passes for the Prabal Gurung collection for Target.

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?
