Hats + dresses means I'm back in LA!

I’ve had but a week to recoup and catch up on work after all the NYFW madness, and still have more to do—but I promise to update you on my travels soon!

With that said, I want to share with you my brunch attire from a couple weeks ago. Dressing for brunch usually means going for a casual yet chic ensemble. And to keep it fun, I stayed away from black and went with some color—camel!

I just love how this coat can be both worn as an outerwear and a dress. It was a sunny yet chilly day in LA so I went for layers and silver accents, and my wide-brim hat to match and complete the look!

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.

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!

The new year is almost here!!! It's crazy how 2014 flew like a breeze. You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun...and working hard!

This past year has been good to me and I can't wait to see what 2015 has in store. I'm thankful for all the opportunities and experiences I encountered, and especially to those who has supported me all throughout the way. This coming year will be a great one and I can't wait to share it with all of you. So, cheers to the new year!

My last blog post of the year are my NYE outfit options that I shot with Ryan Chua (@ryanbyryanchua). It was the first time meeting and shooting with him but we already had an instant connection. I had so much fun! He shoots many fashion bloggers, and I'm not surprised because he's amazing at what he does.

So here are the photos and I can't wait to show you guys!!!

The first look is all black with lil bit of edge and a lil bit of sparkle. I wanted to balance off the glamorous look of the sequins with the roughness of my moto jacket.

The second look is very glitz and glam with the gold sequins and white fur. Nothing says party like a gold ensemble, right?

 “An easy-to-wear Los Angeles wardrobe with a slight edge.”

– Alexandria Norman, Founder and Designer of Bellen Brand.

I’ve teamed up with Bellen Brand and officially became a #BellenBae, whose style is unapologetic with an attitude. I am obsessed with their aesthetic. The perfect mix of sporty and chic that is ultimately street. Bellen Brand prides itself as a representation of LA style that is diverse and eclectic. It’s where street style meets high fashion.

I’m all about fashion, but I’m also all about comfort. Being in Bellen Brand feels like a cloud. The soft textures and superior fit, with an impeccable style and taste. I loved every single piece that they sent me! They were also kind enough to give my followers a 15% off discount with the code "PAU15"

The Long-sleeve Pico Open Back Dress is the epitome of sexy but warm. It gives you the option to not look dull and boring in the LA wintertime. The rib knit material is light and soft, and the fit is a bit loose and extremely comfy.

I incorporated my edgy style to this look and kept it all black, with a variety of accessories to keep the look interesting. My chained and quilted backpack was the excellent match for that sexy back. It screams utmost chic, and very affordable with my code "PAU20" for 20% off along with other Salsit products ;)Long-sleeve Pico Open Back Dress from Bellen Brand / Chained Backpack from Salsit / Hat from Forever 21 / Sunnies from zeroUV / Necklace from Outerbridge / Shoes from Urban Outfitters

The Long-sleeve Zip-front Top is a Fall/Winter staple, paired with the Zip Pencil Skirt that is absolutely flattering for every figure - it highlights your curves. Both pieces have a rose gold zipper detail that makes them out-of-this-world. I kept it simple because I want all the attention on the little details.

The Temple Tee Long-sleeve Dress is one of Bellen Brand’s signatures and also available on Nasty Gal. I felt like Solange in this number. Remember her wedding dress and that epic wedding photo with her family?

The pure white color and fabric overload makes it looks so elegant. I added some gold accents like a gold necklace and gold-heeled shoes from Zara. This set was my last shoot of the year with my resident photographer Allen Chen (@aybce). It’s only been three months since I launched my blog but I learned a lot from him. I am definitely thankful and blessed for all his help and being a part of this journey with me.

Til next time!
