Every girl needs a cape... in my opinion. I've been in possession of this cape for quite some time yet I haven't had the opportunity to wear it. Capes are the epitome of class, sophistication and femininity. They're versatile but the only place I haven't been able to wear them is school. Pretty ironic since this was taken at my undergraduate alma mater - University of California, Irvine. Why are capes impractical in the academic setting? Well, I always have my planner, notebook and laptop with me. Unless I'm carrying my laptop bag by it's top handles with all my other necessities stuffed in it, I wouldn't be able to function. Regardless, I only have a few more weeks of my P3 year left so I plan on wearing a cape top soon. Until next time!
Winter break is finally in full swing! I suffered from a cold yesterday since I spent the day before in shorts and a tank top... in the rain. The meteorologist said it wouldn't rain but Mother Nature decided to pull a 180 on me. Anyways, I'm 100% better and I decided to go take pictures! I received this dress two weeks ago and finally had the opportunity to take outfit pictures! Enjoy!

Just when I thought the weather in California was beginning to cool down, it becomes toasty, AGAIN! It's predicted that it will be 90 degrees Fahrenheit tomorrow but at least I can find refuge indoors! Anyways, this post was taken at the Orange County Courthouse in Santa Ana. It was surprisingly empty and serene AND no one bothered us while we were taking pictures - that's a first!
I found this amazing vineyard in a business complex which, I'm assuming, specializes in the production of wine! I will definitely return to this location for more outfit posts! My mom took a lot of pictures but I looked frazzled in the majority of them- probably because it was scorching in the mid-afternoon! These pictures were taken in 2012 and I am reposting them on my blog!
BLACK FRIDAY MADNESS. Happy belated Thanksgiving guys! The herd of people waiting to go into Best Buy/Fry's, the plethora of women in the shoe department... INSANITY. I hope everyone is enjoying their week thus far! Even though I'm on break, there is so much work I have to complete. Anyways, I don't know how many of you watch Hart of Dixie on the CW but I have fallen in love with Lemon Breeland's outfits! She was an enormous inspiration for the outfit featured in this post!
A Dolce and Gabbana inspired look from the 2009 Cruise Collection; I remember imitating a lot of the looks from this collection during my senior year in high school! I am a huge fan of bows and I have loved the color pink ever since I was a child.
Anyways, splurging on brand name clothing isn't always ideal so I opt for imagination and D.I.Y. projects! You can always find my mom and I working on something whether it be clothes or home goods! It's actually really fun coming up with inspired looks and making the cheap look chic! I will definitely do more inspired looks in the future :D
And now, I will present the newest addition to my collection of bags... well, actually my mom's collection. I'm just "borrowing" it (: It's a Lady Dior!
MODERN ROMANTIC. Do you guys ever ponder about what life and culture would be like if you lived in another era? Well for some odd reason, creme colored clothing reminds me Paris in the 1950's or the Shakespearean era of Romeo and Juliet. I recently received this meticulous blouse from OASAP which you can puchase HERE! Though it took over a month to arrive, it was definitely worth the excruciating wait! Everything about this chiffon blouse from the crystallized buttons, to the beaded flowers on the collar, to the 3D flowers screams elegance and sophistication. If you are not already aware, I am a extremely attracted to lady like attire. And who says you have to spend an enormous amount of money to look good? It's like the good ole saying:
"YOU CAN BUY FASHION BUT YOU CAN'T BUY STYLE."
SHEL SILVERSTEIN'S The Giving Tree was one of my favorite children's book. Thought I would mention that since I am wearing brown and green together in this post! So the weather in Southern California could not be any more awkward than it has been this past month. Last week, I had to wear lots of layers and coats to keep warm however today was completely different - I think I would have been okay with a light cardigan, tank top, and shorts.
I received this collar quite some time ago and I completely forgot about it, whoops! The button on this collar fell off probably because I kept on taking it on and off so I replaced it with my National Junior Honor Society Pin (yes, I still have pins from middle school!) Nonetheless, it would be something I would buy if I saw it at a store. The spikes on the collar make it très chic.
