Sparkly with a dark twist. 

December is coming to an end, which means that the new year is vastly approaching (time flew fast didn't it?!). We have about a week to prepare ourselves for 2016. As we plan our NYE shindigs, party looks come into play. 

The new year is your time to shine, so I believe that sequins couldn't be a more perfect fit for a NYE look.

Last year I wore a gold romper to match my blonde hair, but this year I know for sure I wanted to wear silver to match my new 'do.

Glam up the look by adding a faux fur coat and suede booties—effortlessly elegant and luxurious.

October is breast cancer awareness month! In honor of the annual campaign to increase awareness, I’m sporting the color pink for this look. I rarely wear color but this blush moto jacket has stolen my heart. It’s the perfect mix of feminine and badass—just like all the women out there that has fought or is continuing to fight breast cancer. Click here to get informed.

I wanted my moto jacket to completely stand out so I wore black head-to-toe. The lace top keeps the look more feminine, while the pants is more badass (which by the way fits amazing) with rips just right on the knees for style!

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.

Reminding myself from time to time that less is more. I love accessorizing so much that sometimes I forget to appreciate a beautiful piece. For this outfit, I wanted all the focus on the shirt dress. I kept it minimal so that the smallest of details are highlighted: the flowy sheer material, the long slits and the silver rings on the sleeve. Simple, but sophisticated.
