Anyways, even though change is good, I hope to embody the old me in future looks as the one featured here. Remember Gossip Girl? Everyone I knew was mesmerized by Serena van der Woodsen's attire. I was attracted to some of her outfits but Blair Waldorfs' outfits were a hit in practically every show. Each outfit was like a piece of art that exuded a sense of ladylike sophistication and power. I know this particular outfit isn't what she would wear but I am drawing inspiration from her and giving it my own modern flare. Maybe I'll do some "Inspired by ___" posts! But remember, always add personality to your outfit and own it! Until next time!
It's blazing hot in Southern California so do not let this outfit mislead you! I just forgot to post it during Winter *whoops!* The weather is perfect though it has been quite breezy the past few days. I spent most of my spring break running, sleeping in, and getting other projects in full swing! I find myself always having to sort out my priorities. I never actually have any free time and there's always something on my plate. Even studying becomes hard when there's so much to do. Now it's back to school and the amount of work I have to do will never cease.
Anyways, I decided to keep my outfit simple so I paired this plaid Free People skirt with a black turtleneck from Zara. To protect myself from the insane winds we were experiencing that day, I tossed on a faux-fur vest. Gold accessories seem to always make an outfit look so much better so I incorporated it through the means of a necklace, cross-body, belt, and boots! ...Until next time!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Are you guys excited? I wanted to find some autumn inspired accents for my room but each time I enter a home decor store, I am bombarded with Christmas shenanigans. Don't get me wrong though. Christmas is a lovely holiday that I both celebrate and enjoy but I wanted to find some rustic decorations that could serve as transitional pieces. Despite my later than usual posting schedule, I wanted to post more often so I might include sales that grab my attention, pieces I would like to add to my closet or inspirational interiors. I believe that would allow me to interact with you guys more. Anyways, it still is hot but we did experience some strong winds a few days ago. Even though it was extremely dry, I decided to wear this ensemble. Plum and burgundy are two of my favorite colors. There's just something powerful and dark about it - it has the right amount of seduction, mystery and allure. I centered my outfit around these colors by pairing my plum BCBGeneration fedora with a crimson top and skinny pants from ZARA. By the way, I finally found a wool fedora hat that suited my face! They are usually too small on me but this one was perfect!
I recently discovered an online retailer called, IFCHIC. They carry various independent brands, that you don't typically see in stores, along with some well known labels such as Alexander Wang and The Row. At first glance, you may notice that the average cost of an item ranges from $100-$200. HOWEVER, *cue suspenseful drumroll* you can earn $180, in IFCHIC tokens, towards your purchases on the 24th of EACH month! You can start collecting tokens after you make an account on IFCHIC. You'll see some pop-up prompts, either on the left or right hand side, with a rotating golden token. You can collect up to a maximum of $6 per day. What's the catch? You can ONLY use these IFCHIC tokens on the 24th and you can never collect more than $180 each month. So make sure to visit their site each day to collect your tokens!
This Greylin, Luisa Sleeveless Sweater Dress was purchased with IFCHIC tokens on their site! They ship extremely fast and the packaging is perfect! I know it's summer but this dress was calling my name! It works well for the office with d'Orsays and transitions perfectly into my after 5 attire. All you have to do is throw on a motorcycle jacket and this dress is date night ready!
So start collecting those tokens to use it at their next #ifchic24 event on August 24th!! Until next time!
I am so glad I kept my winter jackets on hand for the sudden bouts of rain we're experiencing in Orange County! Though I must say once the rain passes by, it starts getting hot... f a s t. It was a bit cold at home so I decided to keep myself warm by piling on layers upon layers of clothes. Oh, how I quickly saw the flaw in my choice of attire. Nevertheless, I powered through my day.
Though my upper body was going through a rollercoaster of temperature swings, my legs stayed warm and cozy with these opaque Pure 50 Tights courtesy of W O L F O R D. I got a size Small however, I believe an Extra Small would give these tights a more opaque allure. Not only are these opaque tights comfortable, they really hug your thighs to make them feel tightened and lifted. Compared to other tights I've worn in the past, the quality and fit of these tights surpasses them all. Since I am petite in frame, they went up a bit high so I wore my leather shorts to avoid showing any "waist hugging tights bulge." I then tossed on this Zara ruffled, lace long sleeve with bow detail and my faux fur jacket. I have so many jackets but it's just never cold enough to wear them. I wish it was colder in California... A girl can dream, right? Until next time!
