Maxed Out

Tis the season to bust out all the maxis in your closet! This number came in right on time: monochromatic palette, floral pattern, low cut, bare back, high slits with shorts in-seamed?! Sounds like the perfect maxi to me! What makes it more amazing than it already is: it flatters my petite body. It’s a struggle to find the right maxi for petite girls like me. Some fit extremely awkward with no body form whatsoever, but not this one! That’s probably why I’m so obsessed with it. You can even get away wearing it at night because of the dark color way.

Season Staples

This blog post is dedicated to share to you my favorite staples as of late:

  • MAC’s Sin
  • Choker from Urban Outfitters
  • Halter Shirt Dress from Forever 21

If you knew me well enough, I am the queen of dark lippies (or I'd like to call myself). I cannot get enough. I recently discovered this deep burgundy matte lippie from MAC called “Sin” and it has been overused since I purchased it. What I love about matte lippies is that it stays on longer than your ordinary satin lippie. I have a bunch of dark red lippies but this one has the ultimate vampy feel to it, which I absolutely love. I have also been really into chokers lately but I’m especially drawn to this one because it's metal and has a long pendant necklace attached to it, which I think stands out from the other chokers out there. Last but not least, shirt-dresses are a hot trend this spring and for a good reason: it’s laid-back and dressy all in one.

I’ll be back after a crazy weekend at Coachella!

Season in bloom

Today marks the first day of spring, my favorite season of all! The weather is warmer and the flowers are blooming, which only means a little more femininity in my wardrobe. By the way, I never had allergies in my life until this year, which I think is very odd. But that doesn't make me love this season any less. Happy Spring!

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.

Wanderlust

Who said kimonos were only for the hot season? This baby keeps you warm for those not-so-cold days of fall. The material has a soft silky texture that just looks so good in black. Or maybe I just love the color black. The details are everything: perfectly embroidered Kerol. D. logo, vintage studs, and beautiful fringe that makes me want to twirl in all its goodness. I opted for a knitted crop top and shorts to show some skin but still keep myself warm, then a brassy statement necklace with chunky platforms to complete my look. My version of a fall outfit! These platforms from Public Desire are my favorite as of late; they’re super comfy and makes any outfit look good. 'Til next time!
