Line It Up

Today’s outfit post is a little preppy with a bold twist. Its something different from my daily ‘fits, but change is good! I like switching things up from time to time to keep it interesting. I can be repetitive with my outfits but I always want to try something new. You already know I love my stripes, but this one has a vertical pattern! It may look like a conservative fit in the front, but the back detail spices things up! My favorite detail of this dress are the pockets because it makes the outfit so functional.

LWD

As obsessed I am with LBDs, so I am with LWDs. The “Little White Dress,” or as I’d like to call the LWD, has been taking over my closet. From slip-ons to maxis, my LWD collection is growing, and fast. It’s just so easy and breezy in the springtime and especially with summer coming up, you can easily transition into the warmer season. A silky skater dress will set you apart from the crowd, along with a statement piece like an elaborate necklace. Such glam!

J'adore

Here's a quick post featuring one of my favorite pieces as of late: The Adore You Jumpsuit from Lovers + Friends!

Lovers + Friends is a contemporary women's label based in Los Angeles that carries some of the prettiest pieces I have ever seen. The simplicity of the piece makes it so chic, and the flattering cut-outs makes it very feminine. Look out world, I'm ready to seize the weekend!

Line 'em up

So let me tell you about this skirt.

This piece has my favorite styles in one because for 1) it has black and white stripes 2) it’s a maxi and 3) the double high slits! It’s chic but edgy and sexy without overdoing it. If were talking about optical illusion, it’s genius how the double high slits cut the horizontal stripes of the skirt. I added my low-cut wired top to add more lines to the illusion. My new chunky platform booties were necessary because I needed more height for the length of the skirt, while my choker lightens up the look a bit.

Party Suit

All dressed up on today's post.

Prepare to be glammed out by NBD, a collection full of eveningwear that’s here to stay. Weather it’s a fancy dinner, partying at the best nightclub, or even the red carpet, NBD has the perfect pieces to seize the night. I fell in love with this romper because of the cut and fit, and well, rompers have always been my preferred suit. It’s a match made in heaven with my gladiator lace up heels, as it accentuates the cuts on my romper and glams it up even more.

Golden Hour

My favorite time of the day is when the natural lighting is perfect, and there’s probably no other time more perfect than the so-called “golden hour.” It flawlessly captured the aesthetic of my outfit. The white and blush tones look beautiful against the sunlight! The lace detail of my top paired with this bohème skirt is no doubt the appropriate look for spring, festivals and the like.

White Lady

The shirt dress – one of this season’s must try trend. Its versatile and the possibilities are endless! Dressy or casual, you won’t go wrong. I wore this outfit by dressing it up at the Audrey Magazine Fashion Show about a month ago. When the weather gets hotter, I would definitely style it down for the festival or even a beach day.

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!

Festival Diaries: Daisy Dames

It’s the last day of our festival diaries!

Feminine and fresh: our inspiration for today’s outfits. Denise & I thought that these matching sets were so cute that we had to match together. I like matching with my best gals at events or festivals, and I don’t think it’s corny at all! The pastel colors combined with the daisy print makes our outfits look so refreshing, and would be great to wear under the scorching hot weather. The bikini top and circle skirt adds a playful touch—you can even wear this on a beach day!

P.S. It’s Denise’s birthday today so go wish her the happiest birthday!!!

Festival Diaries: Trippy Hippie

Today’s look is inspired by some of your classic festival outfits.

When it comes to festivals, comfort really is key. If you’re the type to dance your butt off to live music, you have to wear something that doesn’t restrict you from doing so. Also, it is ridiculously hot the entire time and there’s gonna be lots and lots of walking. Did I convince you to dress comfortably yet? Ha-ha. But seriously, I can’t stress this enough. I guess I’m not the type to chill at festivals; instead, I like exploring and partying in full effect! And a cute top and a pair of shorts can never go wrong. Anyways, I was going for a gypsy look with my peasant-inspired top, fringe shorts, coin belt, and flower crown. The fringe on my shorts makes me want to shimmy all day long.

Head on over to Denise’s blog for her outfit details!

Festival Diaries: Ethereal Beings

We are exactly one week away from Coachella and my excitement just keeps on growing! The desert is hot and humid so I tried staying with the lightest color palette as possible for my outfits. And as much as I love black, it’s just not gonna pass! Ha-ha. This outfit is inspired by wanting to feel light and airy, just like a fairy frolicking about the grounds of Coachella.

Festival Diaries: Spring Fling

We’re yet another day closer to Coachella, which means…more outfit inspirations, the better! Our outfits are inspired by spring colors and Easter being around the corner. Pastels are fun and flirty—perfect for a celebration. I love the color lilac but I rarely wear color, and Coachella is the perfect time to do so. If you know me well, I always try to darken any outfit possible so I added all-black accessories to this look. How cute is this fringe backpack I’m wearing?! You’ll be seeing me rockin’ it everywhere I go because I’m totally obsessed with it as of late.

Festival Diaries: Poolchella

Coachella is only about a week or so away and I am beyond ecstatic! This year is special because I teamed up with my girl Denise Gen and our friends at Tobi to showcase a festival-inspired lookbook. I told myself after Coachella last year that I will be more prepared with my outfits this year—and most importantly, have more fun with it. And what better way to have your gal pal with you?! Our outfits are inspired by the poolside parties, or simply put, wearing less clothes because we’re in the desert!

We have more outfits coming your way, so stay tuned! We can’t wait to hear which outfits will be your favorite. Don’t forget to check out Denise’s blog!

Good Ol' Denim

I do wear a lot of black colors so I like to switch it up from time to time. I added my vintage denim jacket to this look on my attempt to dress for spring. I don’t think I can stay away from the color no matter what season, so I like to play it cool and add some pieces that will go for a “spring” look. The sultry feel of the lace details and asymmetrical cut makes the outfit suitable for a night out, just skip the jacket and it’s like a totally different fit!

Cappuccino

This season calls for light jackets! I layered this piece over one of my favorite LBD’s for the FashionTap App launch party last Saturday and it was just the cherry on top of my outfit. Everyone was hanging out at the gorgeous backyard and it was a bit chilly (at least for me) that night, so a light jacket was very appropriate. This flowy duster jacket is a fun alternative for the camel trench coat. I love how the color is almost nude, and the dual drawstring waist gives you some shape. You can also easily fold up the sleeves when it gets a bit warm in the room.

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!

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!

How Many Shades?

It’s starting to get hotter here in LA, but that doesn’t stop me from wearing the cutest coats! This plaid coat has my favorite color palette filled with different shades of grey. And yes, we can’t help but refer to Fifty Shades of Grey so I added more greys to this outfit by including my peppered knit top, charcoal denim shorts and silver watch to the look. It’s appropriate for this winter to spring transition, where the days are warm and the nights are cool. xo, PD

This jumpsuit is going to be my best pal when it comes to those days where I wanna feel dressed up but stay comfy at the same time. It's loose & flowy, which I think goes well with my petite body. You can go day to night with this one- and can probably get away with in the office then straight to a fun night with the gals. Don't forget to pair with your stilettos and you’re ready to paint the town red.
