Festival season is just around the corner and it's giving me so much life right now - It's definitely my favorite time of the year. And guess who's going to Coachella second year in a row... Me, me, ME!!! This time last year I was deciding what to wear for Coachella and had such a hard time choosing my outfits, but I'm more than prepared this year and I already have so many outfits in mind! Here's one of the looks I'm considering and I love how the dress is light & see-through, to let the breeze through my skin and relieve the heat. It has a beautiful lace-y detail for that boho feel! Stay cool in your favorite sunnies and silver accessories, and you're off to the desert!

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.

I don’t like math but I do adore grid-like patterns. This Checked Monochrome Playsuit from AX Paris is a fresh alternative from the solid blacks and whites in your closet, and an addition to a perfect monochromatic wardrobe. The black and white grid makes a statement that’s pleasing to the eye, with a color contrast that’s crisp and chic. You can add bright colors for a more vibrant look, however, a opted for a little gold on my heel for a muted touch.

Off The Shoulder Playsuit from AX Paris / Madden Girl Westmont Bootie from Zooshoo

White lace will be evident in everyone's spring wardrobe. It's feminine, flirty and refreshing - just in time for the warmer days to come. This white lace-y daydream reminds me of an opulent guipure - beautifully embroidered with a vintage pattern on top and floral design on the bottom. I love how it's transparent on the arm area, which makes it look more flirty and fresh. I wanted the lace details to really stand out so I kept the accessories to a minimal.

Laced With Secrets Dress from Tobi / Heels from Zara

This laced ensemble is what I would wear on a romantic getaway. Nothing is sweeter than this dress from Tobi. The black lace detail over nude is sexy without the need to show some skin. You’ll leave your guy swooning over you, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

For now, it’s my last day showcasing my Tobi looks. I had fun showing ya’ll how easy it is to find different and great finds to reinvent my style for the year, or to simply just have fun with it!

What style did you like me in best? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Macey Lacey Shorts from Tobi / Backpack from Lamoda / Necklace from Sparkles & Pop / Shoes from Cici Hot

Leather is a staple in my closet. It gives my outfit touch of toughness, and I like that. These pair of shorts from Tobi is the perfect match with your favorite basics for a minimalistic look with a bad gal twist. I love the lace detail on the sides to add some femininity. This is what I would call my uniform – monochromatic outfits are my daily wear.

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.

Candy Coated Fur Jacket from Tobi / Bralette from Make Me Chic / Necklace from Her Fashion Box / Madden Girl Westmont Boot from Zooshoo / Disco Pants from American Apparel

Another day, another look with Tobi! I’m all glammed up on this fine Tuesday. This is probably the most pink you’ll ever see me wear. I’m not a fan of girly colors, but I saw this fluffy (cue in: “It’s so fluffy, I’m gonna die!!!” from Despicable Me) number and thought of giving it a shot. I love how it’s lightweight and comfy to wear. Knowing that my closet has barely any color, it gives my wardrobe a subtle pop of color. It has a blush pink color that would be great for a winter to spring transition outerwear. I'm big on neutrals and blush-as-neutral is trending right now! I wanted to toughen it up a little with my black disco pants and combat boots. What do you think?

Dark Secrets Bodycon Dress / Madden Girl Westmont Bootie from Zooshoo / Moto Jacket from Forever 21

Fashion is constantly changing, and us fashion-lovers are always on the look out for the hottest trends every season. With that, it is inevitable that our style evolves with time. That’s why I teamed up with Tobi to reinvent my style for the new year, while still staying true to my style. I came up with 5 different styles that makes up my personal style and I will focus on each one, each day this week! You will exclusively get the first look on my blog and Instagram. At the end of the week, I will ask my readers and followers which style they liked me in best!

Today I’m bringing out the grunge gal in me with the Dark Secrets Bodycon Dress. It’s daring with the see-through cutouts, and comfy with the stretchy material. Nothing else says grunge like layers and leather, so I paired the dress with my favorite moto jacket. I can run around town all night long with this outfit in my combat boots and slouchy knit beanie, to keep my head warm in this weather (and to hide my messy hair, of course!).

Stay tuned for more!

Down For You Romper from AKIRA / Heartbreaker Set from Rocksbox / Shoes from Cici Hot / Clutch from Urban Outfitters

As promised, I’m back for some Valentine’s Day styling tips with my Heartbreaker set from Rocksbox! When I was thinking of V-Day outfit options, this romper caught my attention for its peplum detail. It’s feminine without overdoing it. I’m in love with the color, and the texture almost has a silky feel to it. I often opt for rompers because dresses bore me at times. Just like icing to the cake, the Heartbreaker set completed my outfit, along with my black heels and clutch to pair it with. The black and gold tones compliments the rich burgundy color that the romper has. You can get my set here, and get a $50 surprise gift in every box. How exciting! And if you're in SF and Manhattan, you can purchase a set as late as February 12 with a guaranteed delivery by Valentine’s Day! Thanks to their on-demand 2-hour delivery.

It’s the first of February! And you know what that means… Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I was given an opportunity to team up with Rocksbox for the perfect Valentine’s Day jewelry.

Rocksbox is changing how women discover and shop for jewelry: to give women the chance to enhance their style with a wide selection of jewelry, carefully handpicked and sent directly to their doorsteps. I am very picky with what I wear, as well as my jewelry, so I was kind of skeptical with the whole idea at first. However, I was very impressed with my first set! So basically, here’s how it works:

Sign up here and take the style survey so the stylist knows what kind of jewelry you fancy. Then you receive three handpicked pieces of designer jewelry—a necklace, bracelet and earring (a whole set!). Super easy and ultra stylish – for only $19/month.

So if you haven’t found the perfect set of jewels for Valentine’s, you can purchase this very set here. Stay tuned for more and get the first look of how I styled my Rocksbox Valentine’s Day set.

Three words: Thigh. High. Boots. Need I say more? They make me feel like I stepped out of the 70's. Instead of the vibrant white patents that was a trend back in the 70's, I'm rocking black suedes. You can amp up any look with these babies. Even though it's faux, it's super soft and dreamy. And the best part, it fits like a glove. It doesn't have that awkward loose and slouchy fit like the other ones I've seen. With a knitted Bodycon dress, it's easily my day-to-night get up. It’s a versatile must-have. And of course, a statement necklace to put it all together. Til next time!

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 :)

The little black dress, better known as, the LBD. Coco Chanel started the trend and it has remained a classic ever since. It’s probably the most versatile staple in your closet because you can dress it up or down and can match anything you already own. I have a growing LBD collection in my closet, because well, for the very reason that it’s so versatile. You can instantly look dressed up without even trying. I love how this LBD shows my figure, and the criss-cross details with low back that makes the dress an eye-catcher. I got this dress from Modlook 29 when I visited their store in LA and it was such a great experience. They have so many selections and were very helpful. Don’t forget to check them out here, or better yet, give them a visit at their store!

The bell-bottoms are back and its not going anywhere anytime soon. I’m wearing a beautiful pair from PYLO and I’ve been obsessed with their bell-bottoms ever since they came out with them. PYLO has been killin’ the boho-grunge game! The greyscale roses contrasting with white looks perfect for the season. Boho in winter I must say. I paired it with a loose tank to compliment the look, and a couple of my favorite add-ons—wide brim hat and silver accents. Enjoy!

When do I not wear black in my outfits? This skirt is lovely for a day-to-night wear. I've been obsessed with anything mesh lately and I pretty much have a collection in my closet. The pleat detail adds a flirtatious element to the sporty feel. It's light and fun to wear. I paired it with a white bodysuit that has a cross strap with a low front, my favorite! The overlap also makes it looks very chic. I opted for black accents all around to make my bodysuit stand out--my favorites: wide-brim hat, knee-high socks, over-sized sunnies and chunky boots. You can see me rock this all winter. Til next time!

The new year is almost here!!! It's crazy how 2014 flew like a breeze. You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun...and working hard!

This past year has been good to me and I can't wait to see what 2015 has in store. I'm thankful for all the opportunities and experiences I encountered, and especially to those who has supported me all throughout the way. This coming year will be a great one and I can't wait to share it with all of you. So, cheers to the new year!

My last blog post of the year are my NYE outfit options that I shot with Ryan Chua (@ryanbyryanchua). It was the first time meeting and shooting with him but we already had an instant connection. I had so much fun! He shoots many fashion bloggers, and I'm not surprised because he's amazing at what he does.

So here are the photos and I can't wait to show you guys!!!

The first look is all black with lil bit of edge and a lil bit of sparkle. I wanted to balance off the glamorous look of the sequins with the roughness of my moto jacket.

 “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 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!

'Tis the season to sparkle, thanks to this sequined number from Minty Jungle. I'm ready to party like I'm at Jay Gatsby's mansion glam'd up and ready for mischief. I'm definitely feeling festive with all the sequins and fringe I'm wearing. The piece features a roaring 20's feel with the design. It's a must to pair with a cute bralette and tight bottoms because of the see-through material. Gotta keep it classy. This is something I would wear to a night out with the girls or a glamorous holiday party with friends. I will have more holiday looks coming your way and I can't wait to show you! But ta ta for now.

It’s Monday and you know what they say: no matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up! Mondays might be dreadful for some of you but one of the things I love about it is dressing up for work or getting back on your grind. This black duster coat is everything I wanted and more on a day like today. It’s a classic staple in your autumn/winter closet. First of all, I love how it’s black so you can literally pair this baby with anything—no need to be indecisive. It has an oversized fit with slits on the side, so I recommend wearing pieces that show a lil bit of skin like a crop top or a slip dress. I wanted to dress the coat down by wearing a crop top and light denim shorts, then add accessories like a wide-brim hat (yes, my best friend this season) and gold jewelry!
