Festival Diaries: For Love & Festivals

Now that Spring is officially here, let the festival season commence! Coachella is just around the corner and I’m excited to be attending again this year. With that being said, I’ll be showcasing my Coachella Lookbook in the next few days, and launching a video at the end of the series (click here to go to my channel and subscribe).

Having attended Coachella for the past two years, I know how hard it is to find THE perfect outfit for all three days of the festival. So I'm hoping that this series will inspire you to find yours. I started the hunt early this year and had the opportunity to collaborate with some of my favorite brands!

For my first outfit, I was inspired by beach getaways and poolside parties. Indio gets extremely hot this time of year so I wanted an outfit that will keep me calm, cool, and collected. What better way than to wear a crochet cover-up that's designed to flatter your body in all the right places? Just look at the gorgeous pattern and detailing! Wear your favorite swimsuit underneath and you're ready to roam the grounds of Coachella.

Stay tuned for more x

Oversized tees that turn into dresses.

Oversized chic is the look I’m going for. The loose fit never fails to show an effortless look.

Make it simple but significant; add accessories to the look.

I added different textures to the look to make it fun and interesting, so I chose my leather envelope clutch and patent leather booties!

City Chic with Cluse

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.

Desert Damsel

Embracing the summer heat, I’m definitely feeling the desert vibes.

This past Monday, I went on a bae-cation with a few of my girls to Palm Springs at The Amado. It was the best location for this outfit, as I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to shoot this tunic. Being in the desert, it was extremely hot for long sleeves but this tunic was loose and comfy enough to wear! Pylo never ceases to amaze me with their pieces~

As a cali girl myself and being so used to the scorching hot summa time, I’ve grown to love loose pieces like this tunic because it goes well with the warmer weather. Our skin needs some space to breathe, catch the breeze every chance it gets.

Cutting Edge

Geometrical cuts on your basics are a total win. My white v-neck is the ultimate upgrade with its fresh cutouts on the shoulders, while my skirt keeps it sexy cool with an asymmetrical slit. Since we’re talking about basics here, I wanted to stay with the casual vibe by wearing my sandals – It kept my feet happy for sure.

Stripe It Down

Stripes: probably the only pattern out there that I don't mind wearing countless times. It’s simple, yet versatile. Keepin' it edgy and cool with black accessories and silver jewelry, then gave it a boho feel with my fringe backpack. This tee is so soft and comfy that it makes me not want to take it off!

Springtime Fine

Spring time means a lot of whites, a little bit of florals, and a little bit of crochet. And there’s nothing better than to prance around the city in my new favorite white romper. I even met a new elephant friend! You’ll see me wearing this coin belt a lot this season that I found a few years back, and this lace up sandals that I’ve been eyeing over ever since last spring!

Adieu, Winter

Officially saying goodbye to winter with chunky sweaters & platforms. This dress does it right in the Southern California cold with the see-through mesh material. Easy to throw on and instant chic on the colder days! I'm wearing my favorite bralette and tight fitted high-waist shorts underneath. Last but not least, I wanted to stay with the cool color palette and opted for silver accents. I'm currently obsessing over my new silver watch from MVMT that has a luxurious opal-like face.

White Out

I'm the typa gal that appreciates geometric shapes. This white dress is beautifully lined and cut that shows some skin but not revealing much, thanks to the net-like material that covers the arm and chest area. It makes a statement with the bold design, and the white hue gives it a classy vibe. One of my favorite statement necklaces from Zara goes well with this piece because it also has a geometric design in this vintage-y boho piece dresses up the look. I'm wearing the cutest pair of one strap, black and white heels that I got from a while back and I just love how it contrasts. Oh, and did you notice my retro sunnies? It makes the look more sophisticated than it is, but I love going over the top sometimes. Ha! Enjoy loves :)

Where Street Style Meets High Fashion

 “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!

In The Plaid

Plaid is a must-have in your wardrobe for the fall and winter season. The print is not limited to the preppy style like it used to. Now you can incorporate different styles and looks, like simply getting a plaid flannel and wrapping it around your waist for a street look. You can also incorporate a plaid skirt into your wardrobe, with an impeccable cut and the length hitting slightly above your ankle for a sophisticated look.

It was love at first sight with this UNIF plaid skirt. I fancy plaid prints because it’s timeless and versatile. The overall color is like a smoke-y purple, which I’m really drawn to. The skirt fits my waist perfectly and flows beautifully with the soft material, with a high-slit and rugged edges. I paired the skirt with a cozy fitted long-sleeve for an effortless feel, and a wide-brim hat and wedge booties to complete the look. xo, Pau
