Take it Easy

♫ Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers- Learning to Fly ♫ 

Hey guys!

This past weekend it finally felt nice to relax, I went out to Huntington Beach with my sister to enjoy some time off and catch up. 

I opted for this faded Olive linen dress that I got at F21 ages ago, it's so versatile and perfect for any time of the year! I paired it my favorite boots, these taupe suede Sam Edelman boots are the comfiest shoes I own. The boots seem to match the dress in these pictures haha, for some reason they seem to be exactly the same color of my dress..not exactly the case in person...must've been the lighting. 

Kept the look pretty minimal and not too overdone I just threw on a black oversized cardigan for those chilly evenings. 

On an unrelated note, I can't believe what has happened in Las Vegas, I will never understand the pain they're going through, but I'm sending prayers and my deepest condolences to everyone affected out there. It saddens me to see so much violence and hate going on not just in Las Vegas but all over the world...when will it end?

Sometimes we take life for granted...including me...but I'm learning to take it easy and take some time off from the craziness of life to enjoy and cherish every single moment spent with loved ones, which is honestly what really matters.

Hey guys!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Here is one of the vintage dresses I bought during my thrifting day out last weekend! I was looking everywhere for a similar 90's mid length dress with buttons down the front, this one only has two buttons, but the overall style was too good to pass up. 

The tiny daisy print on this washed out green color makes it even more feminine and classic. 

I've been a fan of Christy Dawn dresses for a long time and this one reminded me of their dresses but for a wayyy more affordable price :) I love how versatile it is, I mean it's perfect for any time of the year!

I can't wait to style it with tights, ankle boots, and sweaters once the weather cools down. 

What do you guys think of the look?

That Golden Light

♫ The Belle Game- Spirit ♫ 

Wearing:

Vintage dress

Poshmark bag

Zara sandals

Steve Madden sunnies

Although it's still super warm out it makes for the best golden hour pictures!

I love golden hour, there is a certain warm golden light around that time of the day that I just love. 

I swear you can almost feel the warmth through these pictures from the leftover heat of the day, it was maybe around 6pm and it still felt like 90 degrees outside!

I opted for one my fave LBD that I've had for years, it has a cute open back detail and criss-cross diamond stitching along the hems. It's so versatile, timeless and breathable, love it!

I paired it with these simple tan Zara sandals and my rattan bag.  I don't usually like to overdo an outfit especially when it's too hot outside. I kept the makeup natural, wore minimal dainty jewelry, and let my hair do its thing (with help from ouai wave spray). 

What do you guys think of the look?

I hope you guys enjoyed your weekend!

Summer Flow

♫ Haim-Walking Away ♫ 

Wearing:

Anneise jumpsuit

Madewell lace-up sandals

Vintage straw bag

UO sunnies

Zaful Western rope necklace

Hey guys!

Summer days call for more outdoor activities and super comfy flowy pieces!

Lately I'm all about loose flowy pieces like skirts, dresses, culottes, rompers, and jumpsuits. Naturally, I fell in love with this faded gray jumpsuit from Anneise (one of my fave boutiques in LBC). I was sold when I knew it had pockets, I love how it resembles a maxi dress, and also the fabric is soooo soft and lightweight ! I'm all about versatile pieces and this color can pretty much be worn year round so can't wait to style it with sandals, heels, espadrilles, and even sneakers! The possibilities are endless :) 

I went for a boho/minimal look on this breezy summer day, which was perfect! 

What are your favorite summer trends at the moment?

♫ The Teenagers- Streets of Paris ♫ 

Bonjour Tour Eiffel

Hey guys!

It's been a while since my last post....I know..... I need to update more often! 

I have like a gajillion pictures of Paris so far but I'll share a few with you guys of the places I've been to so far. 

It feels so nice to be able to enjoy Paris way longer than the last time I was here, I finally get to see so much more and experience it in the summer! The weather was a little bit rainy and moody when I first arrived but it's actually been quite sunny and beautiful. I'll definitely make an actual blog post of my trip when I get back home but in the mean time I hope you guys enjoy these pictures! I'll try and update with more pictures whenever I get a chance!

But until now bisous :)

PS- I'm still here for a couple more days so if you guys have any recommendations feel free to send them my way!

Summer Feels

♫ Zella Day- Man on the Moon ♫ 

Wearing:

RoseGal floral printed kimono

Lee's vintage denim shorts

Thrifted straw bag

Zara sandals

Anneise hair barrette

UO sunnies 

It's been feeling like summer these last couple of days, we randomly had like 90 degree weather this past weekend so I finally got a chance to wear my usual summer uniform which is usually a lightweight top, denim shorts, sandals, and a straw bag. 

For that extra boho touch I added this RoseGal printed kimono which I just received. I absolutely love the navy color, the print, and the lightweight fabric which can be worn all summer long with dresses or over a bathing suit too! It automatically makes any basic outfit stand out and it looks cute opened or tied in a knot, like I did here, for more of chic yet casual look. What do you guys think?

Hope you guys enjoy your day! :)
