Hey lovelies!

Happy April :)

I'm definitely feeling all the spring vibes here in SoCal so what better way to start the month than with wearing florals for Easter (groundbreaking hehe). I found this super cute top on Shein, I love how affordable it is but what first drew me in was the wrap surplice style and the pretty florals, I also don't really own any dark green colors like this top so I thought ...why not? I'm also trying to experiment more with colors this spring like rust, olive, mustard, and other (earthy) colors besides my monochromatic wardrobe :P

What do you guys think? 

Stay tuned for my Joshua Tree pictures coming up... I ended up taking a spontaneous day-trip this past Saturday that was very much needed,  we had so much fun exploring new places in the desert! Blog post coming soon! :)

Casual Cool/Busy Days by stephc featuring a casual outfit


My ideal spring looks consist of easy comfortable ensembles like these, sort of a lazy chic look haha. I've been so busy these past days and all I've been into are versatile comfortable pieces, I tend to go for staple pieces that can be mix and matched with other pieces in my wardrobe. Muted and monochromatic colors are what I'm all about, maybe once actual spring comes around I'll start incorporating more color in my wardrobe :P. I'm also a huge fan of wide leg pants lately, they're just the comfiest! Although the weather has been bipolar here in SoCal I still can't wait for spring, I'm loving the random drizzly rain we've gotten and hoping for more rain for a "super bloom" this spring!

Which was your fave look?

It's almost Friday, hang in there :)

All About Basics & Lavender Lattes

♫ LÉON - Surround Me ♫ 

Cotton tee

Joe's Jeans cropped flare pants

Old Navy tote

Superga sneakers

Sister LB sunnies

With my busy schedule lately all I want to wear are quick/versatile and comfortable pieces, these Joe Jean's cropped flare pants are my favorite lately, they're super comfortable and go with literally everything in my closet. I must say they're quickly becoming my favorite staple since they can easily be dressed down with sneakers or dressed up with cute heels or ankle boots!

I also recently tried out this cute coffee shop in La Mirada called Enchanted Coffee Bar,  I didn't expect much of it but when I saw their different latte flavors, especially lavender I was all about it. (I have an obsession with anything lavender lately lol). I'm somewhat picky when it comes to lavender lattes because either they're too strong or drowned in lavender syrup making them too sweet but this one had the perfect subtle lavender flavor.... it was just right. It's also a great place for studying or getting work done since they're open so late, I definitely suggest checking it out if you're around that area!

Hope you guys enjoying your Vday I will be celebrating Galentine's Day with my girls this Thursday and Friday can't wait to catch up with them, I've missed them so!
