Moto jacket weather is my favorite kind of weather, and you’ll be seeing me rocking them all season long. I have a huge selection of moto jackets and I’m adding this Line and Dot piece to my collection. What I appreciate most about this piece is the gunmetal studs and large collar flaps—wearing it makes me feel like a rockstar! It definitely gives off an edgy vibe to my 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!

I have gone to NYFW a few times and I must say that I mastered the art of packing quite a bit. It can be stressful and tedious, but preparing yourself is key.

On my way to slay like Bey.
Channeled my inner Yoncé and dressed up for the Formation Tour at the Dodgers Stadium this past Wednesday. I went for a high neckline and thigh high boots, with cropped and cutoff details. Beyoncé was incredibly amazing when she performed—seamless all throughout and killed every set!
P.S. I'm back to long hair thanks to my girl Niki (@theniksters) - Check her out and book her for an appointment here.

A sweet taste of fall.
My trip to the bay last weekend makes me want fall to come sooner. I long for cooler weather so that I can start layering my favorite pieces together! I recently picked up this House of Harlow jumpsuit from Revolve and instantly fell in love. It flatters my petite body with just the right length, and let me tell you, I find it extremely difficult to find a jumpsuit that fits me well. It’s also so comfortable and lightweight, which made it easy to get around the city. I had such a great time in the bay, stay tuned for a recap on my trip! Shop the look with similar pieces below:

Nowadays, I feel as though my style is rapidly changing. I used to hate pink but it's been growing on me lately. I've been so hesitant on rocking short hair but I'm loving it so far. I used to hate change but now I welcome it with open arms. It keeps things interesting and sometimes challenging, but overall exciting.
Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly—it’s your masterpiece after all.

Hello, September!
Man, each month just keeps swinging by! August was a crazy month for me, and with that, I apologize for the lack of posts. I’m glad that we’re finally winding down to September, which means my birthday and NYFW is just around the corner! I’m getting a year older in less than a couple of days and I find myself scrambling for something to do on my “special” day, since it wasn’t really my priority due to last month’s craziness and with fashion week coming up. I just got back from a short weekend trip to SF and I’m leaving for NYC next weekend, so I’m playing catch-up in between and celebrating my birthday while I’m at it.
Have a great weekend!

This season has got me daydreaming about summer romance. I’m falling in love with lace and drapes and how they make this cali heat a bit more fun and breathable. Catch me wearing this outfit strolling through old towns and sunflower fields. It’s the perfect look for a daytime date, don’t you think?

My first Miami Swim Week was short and sweet, but definitely a memorable one. It was my first night in Miami and I wanted it to be special, so I put my favorite black maxi dress on to match my KYBOE! watch. Mine was black and bedazzled, and I love how it matches my style and aesthetic perfectly. I’m all about that edge and glam! My watch was from their Radiant Collection, which features watches that are adorned with Swarovski crystals. Stay tuned for my Miami Swim Week Recap next! For the meantime, you can shop the look below:
I'm all tied-up.
I’ve spent more time indoors than outdoors for the past couple weeks. I think the heat is really getting to me lately. I’ve been keeping myself inspired while recharging my batteries, so expect more content coming your way! For this style post, I’m finally pulling myself together and showing you my go-to summer look. All you need is a good bodysuit and a cute pair of short-shorts to get you through this summer heat. This bodysuit is appropriate in so many ways, and anything lace-up is always a good idea.

This summer heat has got me wanting to wear more color!
The summertime calls for more feminine and flowy pieces. I rarely wear color, but I’m really digging the dusty mauve shade. This Bare Anthology top is feminine but still has a little edge to it. The sleeves create a nice silhouette to elongate the arms, and I just love how it flows to every movement. I paired it with my favorite short-shorts to balance the proportions. Shop something similar below!
The summer heat is here and I find myself wanting to wear nothing but my bodysuits and a good pair of jeans. What drew me to this bodysuit is the unusual cut on the chest area; it gives a tasteful reveal for the itty bitties. I also love the choker detail it has since I’m so obsessed with them right now. Felt so effortlessly badass with these raw-edged mom jeans, and added a great pair of minimal heels to finish off the look.

Athleisure at it’s finest—there’s nothing quite like the classic three stripes.
From the comeback of the Superstar sneakers to killer collabs with the likes of Rita Ora and Pharrell, Adidas Originals has been killing the athleisure game.
Talking about the classics, let’s talk about the track pant reimagined for the modern female:
The Supergirl.
They are slim-fit, made with stretchy tricot material that’s comfortable to either dress up or down! I love the the zip-up ankle detail because it offers alternative options to style—it just adds that cool factor. Wear it with your favorite sneaks for a chill night, or strapped heels for a night out.
I wanted a sporty-yet-casual vibe for this look, so I paired it with my all-white Superstar sneakers. To finish it off, I busted out my cool new sunnies from BonnieClyde. They have a variety of mirrored styles that’s unique, and perfect for the summertime!

Summertime is vastly approaching, and a fresh new outfit is in order!
When I think of summer, I think of fun outdoor activities; whether it’s having a picnic at the park or biking by the beach. I particularly love having barbecues and going on a staycation! The list goes on, and that’s why my summer staple needs to be versatile no matter what the occasion.
I’m getting ready with XOXO this summer by rocking this LBD! I just love how it perfectly fits to accentuate my body, but also flares out to keep it fun. It’s a modern take on the day dress—your summer staple doesn’t necessarily have to be colorful. However, we’ll leave it up to the details; the ruffled sleeves and front cut-out to keep things interesting. The solid black color also makes it easy to switch it up by adding other key pieces. I added a wide brim hat to complete the look.

I’ve got a new appreciation for a good pair of jeans, it really does go along way. Can you believe I used to hate wearing them?
Gloomy days like today, I don’t feel like dressing up. I try to vibe with the weather so I look for something monochromatic and effortless! Manière De Voir brings these elements to their pieces and they have been my go-to on days that I don’t feel like trying (but still want to look like I did).

Athleisure takes Coachella!
For this year’s Coachella, I got the opportunity to partner up with Nün Bangkok!
Nün Bangkok incorporates edgy elements with comfortable and light weight garments—redefining athleisure to a whole new level. Each collection represents the strong and stylish woman, without having to sacrifice comfort. Each design is unique, with great attention to detail.
The pieces were perfect for the festival, standing out from the more bohemian outfits that we see there!
Talking about the festival, here are a few of my favorite performances:
Needless to say, it was a great Coachella overall, and I can't wait for next year!

Watch out—a new sheriff is in town!
It feels great to be back at Coachella, and I’m back with a bang in this killer outfit. I took these photos at their beautiful Rose Garden, isn't it pretty? Staying true to my style, I kept it edgy with cool metal details in both denim and suede. I wanted to break the bohemian trend we usually see at the grounds and went for a badass look! And when you’re wearing fringe, it just makes everything more fun. You bet I danced and twirled all day with this one.

Reporting the latest trend: The Choker Dress.
It's only Wednesday but the weekend vibes are strong with this look! I love the minimal design and the allure it brings. The choker detail alone already makes a statement.
To complete the look, I added my favorite belt for a bohemian feel and my suede booties to match. Just throw on your favorite trench coat and you're ready for a night out! Shop the look below:
