hey all!

happy monday! I’M ON SPRING BREAK! and i’m back in LA, so naturally i’ve decided i’m doing my first official spring outfit. SKIRT AND ALL! so i put together a cute little spring look which i was so happy to wear and get away from the snow. ( yes it was snowing as i was flying away and i was so excited to be gone!)

so my dad and i decided to go to the getty villa a museum in santa monica/malibu that is based off a villa around pompeii that was destroyed – so i was channelling my look off something i’d wear if i went to italy in the springtime – and hopefully i will go soon!

anyway, lets get on it!

i am in LOVE with this flowy JOA skirt! just perfect for the spring and summer! its super feminine and was really fun to play in at the getty villa! also thank you getty villa for having us it was awesome – and perfect since that is JUST what i am studying in art history!

enjoy all!

hey all!

i’ve had one busy weekend after another so honestly i’ve been in a HUGE backlog of stuff to do, so of course blogging has come last because i’ve been so behind on sleep and always have way too much to do! but luckily i’ve gotten ahead on homework so i’m here on the blog now!

this weekend my friends and i went to a dinner at the georgetown waterfront at farmers fishers and bakers which is this really amazing restaurant which serves food from farmers who have co-opted to own the restaurant! its always super great and the location is just superb! since we got to the restaurant and we had a short wait, we decided to take some pictures of course – and then the sun decided so set, so it really was the perfect moment. and of course, i had a blog worthy look on so….

here we go!

shop my look: pants / top / jacket / shoes

alright, i hope you enjoy my pants as much as i do. seriously they’re so cute and comfy – almost like pjs!

summer look vol. 2

July 3, 2018

($ this post contains affiliate links which may be monetized $)

hey all!
its tuesday so it felt like a great day to share another outfit look with y’all! i heard from instagram that you like the outfit posts – both photoshopped (like this) and real photos like the other ones and i’m so glad you guys like these posts because i do a lot to curate items, isolate them and finally put them together!
as always, a note to all my readers – this post does not mean i own any of the above, or that i will buy any of the above. it just means that i like it visually and (unless noted) i do not own it; all that i will write about is stuff i hear from friends and other users of the product as well as the visual aspects of the product which i will mention in the comment below!

heres my look:

/ top: topshop lettuce edge camisole top / pants: madewell striped paperbag pants / earrings: halogen large sleek hoop earrings / sunglasses: shady lady 50mm geometric shades / bag: street level woven rattan bag / shoes: steve madden bandi platform wedge sandal /

this is honestly a perfect shopping day outfit, a brunch outfit, a just perfect nice going out outfit. you guys know my obsession with wide legged pants – these baby pink colored ones have my heart! they are so so so cute, not shocked that madewell made them but i’m so glad because i so want to buy them! i paired it with a straightforward tank, just for the perfect summer day and not too much sweat! i am in love with these geometric shades in the tortoise color. i also paired with this look with nude-y/tan-y accessories. i usually wouldn’t love these shoes, but something about summer actually makes me like them!

Blue Pants in West LA

June 17, 2018

($ this post contains affiliate links which may be monetized $)

hey all!

last saturday, i went down with my sister to melrose place to shoot this adorable summer look – and to shop the new glossier store! she needed some work clothes and of course i came with her, because A) i am a shopping FIEND B) (i think) she thinks i have good style, or basically know what looks good on others (and i think she’s not wrong). anyway, we headed to the YUPPIE basic store h&m to find her some appropriate work level styles. while we were there, i found stuff for her of course, but i also found these TO DIE FOR blue striped wide-leg pants. i’ve been eyeing styles like this for awhile, but since they were UNDER $20 i just decided to go for them, and i styled them in a look that i am loving!

here’s my look!

Processed with VSCO with dog3 preset

/ topshop straight neck bodysuit / h&m creped pants / steve madden carrson sandals / /louis vuitton speedy purse / rayban evolve sunglasses / diamond stud earrings /

y’all know my oh too real obsession with bodysuits, and i also love this bodysuit not only for its versitility, and price (UNDER $20) but for the actual lightness of the fabric. in the hot LA weather i can’t exactly deal with something that is too hot, but this is also nice because it can be layered and also worn in cooler weather! and i’m just in love with these pants – they feel like pajamas, but are much more chic. because they are a tad cropped (idk if this is just a thing because i’m tall) but i decided to pair them with heels, but they also look awesome with my high top sneakers!

enjoy!

Summer Look: Vol.1

June 12, 2018

($ this post contains affiliate links which may be monetized $)

hey all!

how’ve you been all! i feel like i haven’t personally checked-in in a long time, and even though i am not explicitly doing this today i wanted to see how your own summers were turning out (so far) i know its probably only been a week for you all (like me) but i think i have actually gotten alot done and have planned super fun things for y’all this month & the rest of the summer on m&mh!! so i’m very excited and i’ve done a few shoots lately, and will try to share as many actual pictures of me as possible, here’s a look i built for y’all!

as always, a note to all my readers – this post does not mean i own any of the above, or that i will buy any of the above. it just means that i like it visually and (unless noted) i do not own it; all that i will write about is stuff i hear from friends and other users of the product as well as the visual aspects of the product which i will mention in the comment below!

here’s the look!

/ bodysuit : acne studios willy bodysuit / pants : topshop popper utility trousers /

/ sandals : topshop fable strappy sandals / bag : leith straw and faux leather bucket bag / / sunglasses : ‘the candy’ glasses / scrunchie : topshop metallic scrunchie /

i have been loving body suits lately (y’all know me!) and these pants just scream out for a cute bodysuit! i love the neutral style and the tie on the waist. they are a nice fabric not too hot or heavy like jeans sometimes are! i love these lower white heeled sandals, i love the ankle tie on them, and the lil-gladiator style! you know my feelings about bucket bags, (i love them)! and scrunchies are always my style!

enjoy y’all!

Disney Style: June 2018

June 10, 2018

($ this post contains affiliate links which may be monetized $)

hey all!

(anyone correct me if i am wrong, but!) there is this tradition called ‘grad night’ at different theme parks to celebrates high school seniors for graduating high school, and of course, since i just graduated i got to visit disney’s california adventure park all day and then into the night along with a few other groups of other high school seniors. i decided that this would be a fun chance to wear a cute outfit and just have fun with my friends, soooo…

here’s my look!

/ topshop bodysuit / levis wedgie jeans / free people halter bralette / ray ban sunglasses / / jansport belt pack / hoop earrings / minnie mouse ears / converse high tops /

i paired a topshop straight neck bodysuit with my favorite pair of levis jeans. to carry my stuff, but to keep myself totally hands free i opted for my favorite fanny pack! its big enough to carry your wallet, sunglasses, portable charger and a bar, but you can also opt for a cuter belt bag, but i went for a functional one instead of a cute one! i put my halter bralette because its super comfy and also cute! finally, i wore my minnie mouse ears to show my disney excitement!

enjoy!

My New Favorite iPhone Case

June 28, 2016

hey all!
today i am bringing you a lifestyle / fashion-y post! its more lifestyle-y because of course a lot of people have iphones, and its fashion-y because of course the case is so cute! so without further ado, i want to introduce you to my new favorite iphone case!

i am absolutely in love with my jimmyCASE! i have the iPhone SE / 5 / 5S Wallet Case with Card Holder, in the Pink and Gray Stripe with the White Bumper.
and basically today i am just going to talk about my favorites specs on this case…
– well, first of all its made in america! and you cannot say that about many products, and the shear quality of this product shows really, i cannot tell you how many times i have dropped my phone while wearing this case, and as you can see, not even as much as a BUMP or SCRATCH appears. so i really can attest to the quality of this product that is made in america.

here is my phone case again at lunch with me!

-another aspect i absolutely love about this case is the wallet pocket. this case is not bulky like a typical wallet case, and it doesn’t have that pesky cover that blocks your screen or camera. instead, this case has a little elastic stretchy pocket where you can easily slip a few cards and cash in to just take without a purse, or just for easy access. i really do find this case much easier when i am just running to the market to grab something because i just slip a little cash in and don’t have to lug around a purse all the time. also i just love the pink and gray colors together on this product!

-my other favorite aspect of this product is the durability of it. as i mentioned before, this has no bumps on it, but i never explained why. well, jimmyCASE uses premium products of the mahogany on the case (a design that I absolutely love). the maghogany really is not just a cool accent the purpose is to keep the phone safe which i can attest that it really does keep the phone safe! and this case is so affordable, at a sold $39 anyone would be a fool not to buy it!
well, i hoped you enjoy this post, make sure to check out jimmyCASE on line by going on http://thejimmycase.com!
