Fall is in session but we are slowly (but surely) transitioning into the winter season. Now that it's getting chillier in Los Angeles, I'm in the hunt for the perfect outerwear. I found this Karen Kane jacket and it's definitely a winner! Being a SoCal gal, I get cold easily. However, I simply throw this jacket on and I'm instantly toasty thanks to the faux-fur lining. It's faux-leather but feels amazingly comfy. This is my must-have piece for the season!

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!).

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!

It’s Monday and you know what they say: no matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up! Mondays might be dreadful for some of you but one of the things I love about it is dressing up for work or getting back on your grind. This black duster coat is everything I wanted and more on a day like today. It’s a classic staple in your autumn/winter closet. First of all, I love how it’s black so you can literally pair this baby with anything—no need to be indecisive. It has an oversized fit with slits on the side, so I recommend wearing pieces that show a lil bit of skin like a crop top or a slip dress. I wanted to dress the coat down by wearing a crop top and light denim shorts, then add accessories like a wide-brim hat (yes, my best friend this season) and gold jewelry!
