Lace Romper

Last week on IG I made a joke that I wanted to renew my vows just so that I could wear this lace romper. While it is certainly true that this hot number is PERFECT for a bride, it will effortlessly “up” anyone’s style game! Now that’s a lot of power for a $42 item! Even though we were definitely not exchanging any vows, I still managed to get in a few engagement-style photos with Jonathan. But more about his cameo appearance later…     Serious Question: what can you get for $42 these days? Considering our two salads and drinks yesterday were well over $42, it ain’t lunch for two! This lace romper is a bargain. It looks like Free People but fits better than FP (I have always found their garments a hard fit for petite women). It exudes femininity and class. If you are in the market for a standout piece, this is it! As a lover of all things glam, I dressed this item with sparkly rose gold accents. But the truth is, it would look just as stylish dressed down with a fringe purse and western-style ankle boots.     Speaking of shoes…do you start […]

Two Piece Set for Spring Break and Beyond

Note to self: do not eat a cake size donut the same day you wear a crop top. Whoops! If you reside in the Bay Area, treat yo’ self to Bob’s Donuts. The selection of flavors is impressive and they’re open 24/7. #Dangerous. Sometimes you just have to satisfy a craving even if it’s late night. Anyway, today I’m talking about the two piece set and why you should own one.     They Do the Work for You Two piece sets are a busy girl’s best friend. They take the work out of curating an outfit! There is nothing worse than being in a rush and having one of those “I have nothing to wear” moments. With a two-piece set in your closet, you’ll never experience one of those again. Can I get an AMEN?!     Tres Chic Whether or not you mean for it to happen, when you step out in a two-piece set, your level of chic hits the roof. They’re just so darn cute! Be the best dressed gal on spring break, at the shower, or out to brunch in one of these little things. For your convenience I am linking to three of my […]

Five Time-Saving Beauty Tips

30 years old and 30 minutes faster. I’m a night owl, but late nights and early mornings were cramping my beauty routine. Aside from developing those infamous dark circles, when I’m tired I’m dreadfully SLOW. But painting this face each morning is a diligent task, and my goal this year is to be more punctual. I perpetually run 10 minutes late and I’m not proud of it. So in an effort to be on time I’ve managed to shave 30 minutes off of my morning routine. Here are my top five time-saving beauty tips!   Micro-blading Micro-blading my eyebrows last December was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. In fact, it was life-changing. I cannot describe the satisfaction I feel waking up with perfectly primped eyebrows. Before tattooing my brows (it’s not as scary as it sounds) I would not leave the house without filling them in. It did not matter if I was going to workout, to the beach, or to the hair salon. If I was leaving the house, my brows were fixed. Well, this is not a good obsession to have if you’re a certified slow poke! Eyebrows are sisters, they’re certainly not twins. I […]

Chartreuse Top + Flame Red Jeans

Chartreuse: the perfect shade of yellow mixed with a hint of green! I’ve been a fan for decades. In fact, my childhood bedroom is still chartreuse. I find it to be a happy hue. What is not to like about that?! As a lover of color, one of my favorite things to do is mix unexpected colors together.       I cannot paint a pretty picture with a brush, but I can create a pretty cool outfit mixing contrasting colors. Tip: consider the family, not the hue. Do not waste time fixating on the “perfect” shade of red, or the “right” shade of green. Remember, if it’s in the same color family, the colors are complimentary. In this case, vermilion and chartreuse. Commonly known as red and green, no one questions whether or not Christmas colors! Catch my drift? Hopefully photos do this chartreuse top justice. I am not sure what I love more: the bubble sleeves or the floral embroidery. Regardless, this stunner is under $40 and will not last very long.       Colored denim > than blue denim. Ok fine, maybe that is a little bit aggresive. But I think we can all agree that […]

90s Fashion Called…They Want their Fanny Packs Back

“What goes around comes around.” Chances are high that you’ve heard that phrase before. But what might be surprising is that it is even more relevant with regards to fashion! Fashion is cyclical. What goes out of style one year is the new “it” thing the next. For example, I’m pretty sure I wore this outfit (or a similar version) during elementary school. The only things missing in this ensemble are the pigtails and light up sneakers! It’s official, 90s fashion is baaaack.     Belt Bags Belt bags, fanny packs, whatever you want to call them, are the best things since sliced bread. Get ready to take on the world hands-free with one of these little things. Gone are the days of black vinyl fanny packs. 2018 designs feature sequins, velvet, and luxurious waistbands. I take back all of the ugly things I said at Disney World way back when. #Guilty     Overalls You heard right! Overalls are making a comeback and they are better than ever. From embroidery, colored denim, to lavish materials, these onesies make a statement without even trying. I think we can all appreciate an outfit that requires little to no effort once in […]
