Happy Monday! We are less than 2 weeks away from Valentine’s Day, so I thought I would show you another Valentine's Day look.
This one’s more daring: deep-v cuts, side cutouts, and high slits! Channeling the old hollywood gal in me – a glamorous look for a romantic night out. I can imagine myself in this outfit at a nice dinner, eating a juicy steak and drinking a rosé.

I'm back in sunny LA!
I’m really feeling this SoCal weather right now. Coming back from the freezing temperatures in Chicago, it almost feels like Spring back home. Hence, I bust out my denim overalls from Dolly Girl Fashion pretending that it’s springtime. This cute little number looks like it came straight from the 80’s! I do love vintage-style pieces, and I really like how this one flatters my petite figure. You can catch me repeating this outfit at a festival!
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.

Exactly one year ago from today was my blog launch. Happy birthday to my blog! :)
"Your life unfolds in proportion to your courage."
I can’t believe its only been a year since I launched my blog. This past year definitely flew by.
My blog is one of the best things that has ever happened in my life, that’s for sure. It has helped me grow tremendously, and has presented me so many opportunities I never knew possible. I used to doubt myself; I was scared to make mistakes and had my own insecurities. However, I learned to just go for my passion and be true to myself during the process. Next thing I know, I was growing with my blog through persistence and hard work, and what really pushed me was all the wonderful support. I’m incredibly humbled, and I’m thankful every single day for each blessing that came my way. I’m also grateful for all the different brands, agencies and photographers that I got to work with. Its been one hell of an amazing year and I look forward to another great year ahead :)
Cheers! xx

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!).

Do you get one of those days when you just can’t decide what to wear or can’t seem to find anything in your closet?! This is me… like almost every day, and it can be frustrating at times. But one thing I came to realize is that “when in doubt, wear black.” All black that is. It’s the most fail-proof outfit! My closet is filled with black pieces from head to toe, in different styles and textures. I’m pretty sure ya’ll feel me on this one. Black is just so addicting, and for a number of reasons: it flatters every skin tone, works for every season, flattering for any figure, and never goes out of style. So for this post, I’m wearing black head to toe. It’s so simple yet chic. I got this t-shirt dress from early Black Friday shopping at Foreign Exchange. They were having a buy-one-get-one sale so I went a little crazy and bought some basic pieces that my closet needs. I take pleasure in accessorizing my basics so I paired my slouchy beanie and favorite statement necklace. Enjoy loves!
