Thanks to daylight savings this past weekend, I was inspired to style my first spring look of the season. I love stripes because they’re the most versatile print out there that can spice up your look. You rarely see me in color but I thought this top was too cute to pass up!

I always try to opt for vertical stripes because it elongates the body and makes it look slimmer. Something that petite girls like me have to consider! I got this bustier top from N12H and I adore the ruffle and crochet detail—I think that the colors and details are perfect for spring! I wanted the top to really stand out in this look, so I paired it with a black hat and jeans. I'm wearing my newest straw tote that I found I Bali (I'm kinda obsessed), and my new favorite Gucci sunnies from the early 2000's that I stole from my dearest momma (yasss, I got my sense of style from her). I hope you liked this look - you can shop similar pieces below!

How I style my hair on-the-go.

With the short 'do, I simply use a flat iron to style it. First, I prime my hair with a heat protector spray (I do this before using any hot tool on my hair). I concentrate on the ends to straighten out my hair. The trick is to make an inward C motion to tame the fly-aways and give your face a great frame. I'm currently using José Eber's Petite Series Flat Iron—it's so compact that I can literally bring it anywhere I go! It's the most convenient travel companion, and great for quick touch-ups as well. I finish it off with a texturizing spray to add volume!

Time is of the essence.

Cluse is an essential timepiece in my lifestyle. It gets me through the busiest of days, timing every second to help me reach my goals—big or small. 

When my day is fully booked with meetings and shoots, my Cluse watch helps me keep track of time without other distractions (for example, I would end up going on an Instagram rampage if I was to check the time on my phone). It helps me meet my deadlines, which is crucial when it comes to working with a variety of brands. 

Its simplicity keeps me focused, and completes my look overall. Its sophisticated in its own way, with an elegance that enhances my style. Simply put, my Cluse watch brings out the best in me both internally and externally.

Keeping myself warm with a cool vibe in this olive bomber jacket.

Bomber jackets are one of the biggest trends this season, of which both men and women are rocking! It leaves a fresh, sporty statement while adding a powerful silhouette to your look. Not to mention, the bomber jacket is so easy to wear. Simply throw it over a tee and skinnies and bam! Instant chic.

The colder weather gives me an excuse to add more masculine pieces into my wardrobe, and this olive bomber has to be one of my favorites as of late. For this outfit, I paired my bomber with a white cropped halter and black skinny high-waist pants. Naturally, I stuck with a monochromatic palette so that the olive color stands out.

Spring Awakening Romper from Tobi / Braided Choker from Sweet1985 / Thigh High Boots from Lamoda

Today I’m channeling the inner gypsy in me. Spring is upon us, which means we will see more boho trends. I’m really drawn to the bohemian style because of its carefree nature, and that’s the feeling I get in this romper. The dark purple hue stands out from the usual earthy colors, and the bell sleeves and lace detail accentuates the style. I can’t get away from low fronts because I love how it shows some skin. This choker is my favorite at the moment because it’s beautifully hand-crafted and Eco-friendly, which makes it so unique compared to other jewelry.

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.

Hi everyone! So, I have this thing with plunging necklines lately.

Being a part of the itty-bitty committee, I can gracefully flaunt my chest area with plunging necklines. It makes me feel very bold and risqué, and I don’t even have to show much. I’m also not the type to like or wear girly colors (or any color for that matter), but I fell in love with this mauve color on the Melina Romper. Tobi is one of my online destinations for dressy occasions because you will find something you'll love, no doubt. They have a whole ton of styles and colors to choose from! Variety is always good. I love rompers and the style is flirty without being too girly. The color is a perfect mixture of powder pink and lilac, and the texture makes the color even more soft and feminine. I paired it with a silver coin necklace from Forever 21 and hologram strapped heels from Zara to give more edge and glam. Enjoy!
