Now that Spring has sprung, it’s time to add new staple accessories into my wardrobe. My favorite spring trend would have to be silver hardware, from minimal accents to intricate detailing. I’ve been seeing this trend non-stop, from fashion runways to magazine editorials, and I’ve become obsessed! I love how even the simplest design and pattern can add so much to your look. What I’ve been really loving are circular designs, which adds the perfect amount of sophistication to just about any outfit.

I vote for minimal yet functional bags this season. My advice? Go for classic colors, just like this black Marks & Spencer mini tote. It’s just the right size to frolic during the daytime and into the night. It came at the right time as I’ve been on the search for a bag that’s structured but flexible, and this tote just does that. I can fit all my essentials—even my camera and make-up bag on my busy days, and I can simply match it with a LBD on a night out. For this ensemble, I’m going for city chic. You can find me strolling through downtown this season in a classic trench coat, a knit top, and trusty culottes for that effortless yet sophisticated look.

The studded sandals make the perfect statement piece for its fun and edgy vibe. I love the combination of the minimal straps filled with silver studs, which you’re sure to turn heads with! The minimal yet intricate design makes it versatile to wear—you can rock it with either solid colors or bold prints. I just love how these Marks & Spencer sandals give this look an unexpected twist! Another favorite of mine is matching it with either florals or frills to add a bit of toughness to the whole look.

Let’s face it: no other color will be the new black. 

 Like the saying goes, “I’ll keep wearing black until they invent a darker color,” which, is most likely never. It’s safe to say that I’m obsessed with the color by looking at my wardrobe choices, and the fact that it fills up about 60 percent of my closet space. 

I like to keep it fun by mixing different textures of the same color. I enjoy putting delicate accents with tougher pieces together, just like this lace top and leather skirt. The combination of different textures really makes those details pop!

The latest weather change (in colder temperature) means a new set of pieces on heavy rotation. Different season, different pieces.

The colder it gets, the cozier I want to be. Therefore, I can't seem to stay away from oversized pieces lately. I love how this shirt can be either a tunic or dress on me!

Thanks to the Cali weather, I’m still able to rock my summer pieces. I keep myself warm with thigh high boots when I’m wearing a dress, shorts or skirt.

When I need an effortless touch, I simply add statement pieces to put an outfit all together. The Bound Cuffs from THPSHOP are beautifully crafted, heavy duty metal that aesthetically completes this look.

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!
