It feels great to be back at Coachella, and I’m back with a bang in this killer outfit. I took these photos at their beautiful Rose Garden, isn't it pretty? Staying true to my style, I kept it edgy with cool metal details in both denim and suede. I wanted to break the bohemian trend we usually see at the grounds and went for a badass look! And when you’re wearing fringe, it just makes everything more fun. You bet I danced and twirled all day with this one.

Choked Up

Reporting the latest trend: The Choker Dress.

It's only Wednesday but the weekend vibes are strong with this look! I love the minimal design and the allure it brings. The choker detail alone already makes a statement.

To complete the look, I added my favorite belt for a bohemian feel and my suede booties to match. Just throw on your favorite trench coat and you're ready for a night out! Shop the look below:

We’re still slowly transitioning into the fall weather here in southern California, which makes it hard to keep my boho pieces tucked away!

I love my stripes, and this maxi skirt just does it so well. It’s placed both vertically and horizontally with cuts and slits that result to a playful look! To keep the outfit more fall appropriate, I added dark pieces to finish—like a wide brim hat and chunky boots. I’m also obsessed with the style and low cut on the bodysuit; it would definitely be a perfect layering piece when the weather gets colder.

An all-black affair

Words to live by: “when in doubt, wear black.”

I attended an influencer brunch last Saturday hosted by Amika at ediBOL in DTLA, and I went for a “relaxed but still dressed up” look. I simply put a few of my favorite pieces together, in all-black of course! First thing I thought when dressing for brunch: I have to be comfortable. So I chose to wear a palazzo pants a got a few years back. It has an elastic waist so that it can stretch out after getting that food baby, hah. Then I paired it with a dressy crop top and a hat to accessorize (and to hide that messy hair after straight rolling out of bed!).

Desert Damsel

Embracing the summer heat, I’m definitely feeling the desert vibes.

This past Monday, I went on a bae-cation with a few of my girls to Palm Springs at The Amado. It was the best location for this outfit, as I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to shoot this tunic. Being in the desert, it was extremely hot for long sleeves but this tunic was loose and comfy enough to wear! Pylo never ceases to amaze me with their pieces~

As a cali girl myself and being so used to the scorching hot summa time, I’ve grown to love loose pieces like this tunic because it goes well with the warmer weather. Our skin needs some space to breathe, catch the breeze every chance it gets.

Golden Hour

My favorite time of the day is when the natural lighting is perfect, and there’s probably no other time more perfect than the so-called “golden hour.” It flawlessly captured the aesthetic of my outfit. The white and blush tones look beautiful against the sunlight! The lace detail of my top paired with this bohème skirt is no doubt the appropriate look for spring, festivals and the like.

Sunday's Best

A brief update on my life: I literally have no days off. It’s rare when I do, and when that time comes I make sure I spend it wisely. I either spend quality time with loved ones, or schedule shoots (which I did both today!). So, cheers to my Sunday dress: simple and conservative—not the type to show your shape but shows a tad bit of skin with its cutouts.

White Lady

The shirt dress – one of this season’s must try trend. Its versatile and the possibilities are endless! Dressy or casual, you won’t go wrong. I wore this outfit by dressing it up at the Audrey Magazine Fashion Show about a month ago. When the weather gets hotter, I would definitely style it down for the festival or even a beach day.

Festival Diaries: Ethereal Beings

We are exactly one week away from Coachella and my excitement just keeps on growing! The desert is hot and humid so I tried staying with the lightest color palette as possible for my outfits. And as much as I love black, it’s just not gonna pass! Ha-ha. This outfit is inspired by wanting to feel light and airy, just like a fairy frolicking about the grounds of Coachella.

Festival Diaries: Spring Fling

We’re yet another day closer to Coachella, which means…more outfit inspirations, the better! Our outfits are inspired by spring colors and Easter being around the corner. Pastels are fun and flirty—perfect for a celebration. I love the color lilac but I rarely wear color, and Coachella is the perfect time to do so. If you know me well, I always try to darken any outfit possible so I added all-black accessories to this look. How cute is this fringe backpack I’m wearing?! You’ll be seeing me rockin’ it everywhere I go because I’m totally obsessed with it as of late.

Good Ol' Denim

I do wear a lot of black colors so I like to switch it up from time to time. I added my vintage denim jacket to this look on my attempt to dress for spring. I don’t think I can stay away from the color no matter what season, so I like to play it cool and add some pieces that will go for a “spring” look. The sultry feel of the lace details and asymmetrical cut makes the outfit suitable for a night out, just skip the jacket and it’s like a totally different fit!

Let's Get Festive

Festival season is just around the corner and it's giving me so much life right now - It's definitely my favorite time of the year. And guess who's going to Coachella second year in a row... Me, me, ME!!! This time last year I was deciding what to wear for Coachella and had such a hard time choosing my outfits, but I'm more than prepared this year and I already have so many outfits in mind! Here's one of the looks I'm considering and I love how the dress is light & see-through, to let the breeze through my skin and relieve the heat. It has a beautiful lace-y detail for that boho feel! Stay cool in your favorite sunnies and silver accessories, and you're off to the desert!

Off The Shoulder Playsuit from AX Paris / Madden Girl Westmont Bootie from Zooshoo

White lace will be evident in everyone's spring wardrobe. It's feminine, flirty and refreshing - just in time for the warmer days to come. This white lace-y daydream reminds me of an opulent guipure - beautifully embroidered with a vintage pattern on top and floral design on the bottom. I love how it's transparent on the arm area, which makes it look more flirty and fresh. I wanted the lace details to really stand out so I kept the accessories to a minimal.

Urban Gypsy

Spring Awakening Romper from Tobi / Braided Choker from Sweet1985 / Thigh High Boots from Lamoda

Today I’m channeling the inner gypsy in me. Spring is upon us, which means we will see more boho trends. I’m really drawn to the bohemian style because of its carefree nature, and that’s the feeling I get in this romper. The dark purple hue stands out from the usual earthy colors, and the bell sleeves and lace detail accentuates the style. I can’t get away from low fronts because I love how it shows some skin. This choker is my favorite at the moment because it’s beautifully hand-crafted and Eco-friendly, which makes it so unique compared to other jewelry.

That 70's Show

Three words: Thigh. High. Boots. Need I say more? They make me feel like I stepped out of the 70's. Instead of the vibrant white patents that was a trend back in the 70's, I'm rocking black suedes. You can amp up any look with these babies. Even though it's faux, it's super soft and dreamy. And the best part, it fits like a glove. It doesn't have that awkward loose and slouchy fit like the other ones I've seen. With a knitted Bodycon dress, it's easily my day-to-night get up. It’s a versatile must-have. And of course, a statement necklace to put it all together. Til next time!

Luna

The bell-bottoms are back and its not going anywhere anytime soon. I’m wearing a beautiful pair from PYLO and I’ve been obsessed with their bell-bottoms ever since they came out with them. PYLO has been killin’ the boho-grunge game! The greyscale roses contrasting with white looks perfect for the season. Boho in winter I must say. I paired it with a loose tank to compliment the look, and a couple of my favorite add-ons—wide brim hat and silver accents. Enjoy!

Dark Bloom

I love wearing floral numbers, no matter what season. They’re so timeless. Wearing floral prints definitely brings out the boho girl in me. The floral patterns in grey scale are my favorite part of this dress from Chaser. It’s a different take on colorful florals in the spring or summer time. No doubt you’ll feel very feminine with its soft chiffon material, fully lined. But I love how to dark color balances that off. If you don’t know me already, I’m a sucker for low fronts and backs. So this just adds to my collection.

I brought out my coined belt dusting in my closet (can’t believe I haven’t used it in a while!) to give me a little bit of shape. And the time has finally come that I brought out my Steve Madden knee high boots! Last but not least, a floppy hat and dainty accessories as finishing touches.
