hey all!
happy sunday! i have had an awesome restful break and got tons of stuff done – physically, mentally and emotionally! it was super awesome because it made me feel loads better, but i still am definitely not ready to head back, even though i know that i am almost done! as always, i did some internet browsing and found lots of cute things to make an outfit with! anyway, here we go!
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!
/ top : topshop off the shoulder lettuce shirt / pants : topsop button front striped pants /
/ bag : mini white acrylic ark bag cult gaia / shoes : classic cortez premium XLV sneaker /
/ sunglasses : ray ban icon 50mm / necklace : zodiac medallion necklace /
y’all know that i love statement pants, so its really not a surprise that i love these pants! they are super cute paired with all white (like i did here) or other tan accessories. i paired the look with some super cool new nike cortez that i found on the internet too, i absolutely love the texture and think they look so cool! i also loving the look of the cult gaia bag in the white acrylic, its a super cool accent piece for both summer and spring! i also love my tops – similar to the one i showed here, although it would pair well with any light colored t-shirt.
enjoy! xoxo

hello friends!
i thought it was more than time to share one of my favorite outfits for this season of a day trip i took with my sister to melrose! it was a little while ago but every piece of the look is still in stores – i am super excited to share this reasonable wrap dress so lets go why don’t we!
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 my look!
/ dress : forever 21 polka dot wrap dress / shoes : converse classic high tops /
/ sunglasses : ray ban evolve sunglasses 50mm / bag : cult gaia small ark bag /
/ earrings : star earrings / necklace : monogram necklace / socks : sparkly socks /
so for my day out in melrose, i opted for a cute but super versatile and easy look that i could wear (and drive around in, although it did get a tad wrinkly) but since it was super hot and VERY sunny the day i went out, because this super reasonably priced dress is super light and doesn’t make you warm and definitely lets a lot of air in! paired with my dress i wore my high tops with a pair of sparkly socks. i thought they would pair well with the dress, but i think honestly any sneaker with this outfit would go well! of course, because its spring i HAD to get some good use of my ark bag – and i paired with my favorite new star earrings and my monogram necklace as well as my ray ban sunnies!
i hope you enjoy this look!

hey all!
this is A BUSY BUSY month if i had ever had one:
#1 . prom
#2 . ap prep
#3 . 18th birthday prep (technically may 2nd)
#4 . college decisions (may 1st but i will basically be worried all month)
#5 . did i mention ap tests? did i mention birthday? did i mention probably the biggest decision of my life (at least so far)?
anyway it is likely it will all be a high stress month with school, college and all other social things aside! but i just wanted to wish y’all a happy easter and to tell y’all that i made it ALL OF LENT without eating a lick of candy, but i ate a ton today to start making all of it up!
xoxo
hey all!
its already the end of march, which means its already time for another month in review post! here we go why don’t we!
march was a fairly bland month:
i went on kairos
its a super special & secret senior retreat, and it was pretty life changing! it was so amazing to be with my whole class and the one thing i will say for sure was that i wished it happened earlier in the year, but i will treasure the little time i will have left with them.
i went to venice with my sister:
i wrote a whole post on this HERE but i totally loved spending the time with her and appreciated and made me hopeful for the best summer we will have before i move away from my home!
i got some college news…
don’t get too excited yet, i am NOT ready to announce where i will be attending in the fall of this year but i can’t explain how excited i am!
finally, i finished my skincare routine:
i wrote a post HERE about it, but i love my routine so much!
that was pretty much the whole month, but i hope y’all enjoy!
xoxo
hey all!
last friday for fun – because i had my frees last, aka i was done at 10:35! – i decided to head out with my sister to go explore in venice! venice is near santa monica and the ocean for those who don’t know! because i went to go explore in venice i really wanted to share a post of my day trip, the spots i hit up and what i enjoyed the most!
all of the photos in here either my sister and i all took and edited them! without further ado!
we started at the butcher’s daughter:
the butcher’s daughter is at: 1205 abbot kinney blvd, venice, CA 90291
its a restaurant known for its organic pressed juices and their vegetarian food. my sister and i ordered the juice flight with 4 organic juices of our choice and i ordered the “surfer’s breakfast” which was a breakfast burrito while my sister opted for the “new york avo toast” which was exactly as it seemed!
the food was awesome and the atmosphere was super cute! i really enjoyed getting to sit down and eat with my sister us two without complaining and just talking about our lives, goals and of course what we were gonna do later in the day!
next we headed to shop around abbot kinney!
we took pictures in front of the ‘aviator nation’ store and we just enjoyed the weather and walked around!
we also headed to this adorable store called “burro”
we found this card, and found that we both ~heavily~ related to it on a deeply personal level – for your information : my sister is in film school at USC while i am a senior graduating this year headed to TBA (to be announced at a later date!) for graphic design!
next we went to visit the “venice” sign:
fyi : its the middle of ‘woodward’ and ‘pacific’, and if you want a picture like your’s truly you will have to take a car with a sun roof and have either a passenger who is willing to take pictures or someone (thanks sister!) who will drive slow enough for you to get the good shots!
last, and most importantly we headed to jeni’s splendid in venice!
y’all know i am a HUGE ice cream fan and when i saw on instagram that jeni’s was coming out with FROSE i absolutely had to go and visit. let me tell you, the frose was AWESOME! i am a huge sorbet gal and totally wanna go back and get more!
that was my day overall! thank you so much for reading, i hope that i get to share more posts like this with y’all very soon!
xoxo

hey all!
its been a super hard week so im sorry if this post is alittle late. its been crazy busy and i’ve been super stressed so its been a little tough but i finally have a post ready for y’all! i am loving the straw bag trend, its perfect for the upcoming spring and summer looks so i’m super excited to share this post!
once again, 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!
this is probably the most unique item i have on this list, but i AM in LOVE with this bag and am totally coveting it! first of all, i love the shape, and kate spade seriously always nails it on the more kitsch-y things, but i love the basket weave going on there too, and would totally get it if it was more versatile!
#2 : street level crossbody bag
i love this style of bag! for this price (its $84) is super perfect for wanting to be in the season and up to date with all of the trends while keeping up with your budget. it has great reviews and would pair well with many outfits.
clare v makes super great bags, while they are a little bit over my price point, they are beautiful and i love looking at them and coveting them. i found this bag on song of style, and absolutely love the bucket bag style.
#4 : cult gaia ark bag
y’all KNOW i love this guy, to me this bag is so iconic, and is not only perfect for your resort wear, but ALL summer, and with many different outfits.
#5 : kate spade bloom st. wicker satchel
this bag is an awesome bag for the coming seasons it would be perfect with any outfit in any situation!
i am in love with the inside portion of this bag as well as the shape. it has a beautiful print on it and would be beautiful for spring!
enjoy!

hey all!
how have y’all been? i have been stressed because i have just been waiting for the final news from colleges and its been CRAZY! and i don’t know about y’all, but when i am stressed out i break out like crazy – and now more than ever i have been obsessed with my skincare routine so i don’t break out like i was speaking of! i currently love my products and really wanted to share my routine with y’all!
here we go!
these are all of what i use:
top row :
mario badescu enzyme cleansing gel / glossier solution / mario badescu rose water facial spray / mario badescu drying cream / mario badescu almond and honey face scrub
other stuff:
neutrogena positively radiant daily moisturizer / mario badescu anti acne serum / mario badescu buffering lotion / mario badescu drying lotion / biore blackhead strips / peter thomas roth UV milk / silk scrunchie
not pictured :
‘purity’ by philosophy / micellar water / foreo luna mini 2
box:
muji ( i can’t find it online, but its called makeup box 1/2)
this is my routine:
#1 : first of all, i take my hair out of my face and tie it up with a silk scrunchie and then take off any and all makeup (if i am wearing any) and any excess dirt with a cotton pad and micellar water
#2 : then i proceed to wash my face with either mario badescu enzyme cleansing gel or ‘purity’ by philosophy and my foreo luna mini 2. the rhytmn of the device is 20 seconds for forehead, 20 seconds for nose and chin, 10 seconds for each cheek. in total it is one minute, but its totally worth it and i recommend buying this SPECIFIC FOREO because my mom has a different one, i have used it and its not as good as this one. because its the ‘mens’ one, its got tougher bristles and cleans much better.
#3 : next i use my glossier solution, i coat a little cotton pad with a pump of the solution and spread it across my face, focusing on the forehead and chin. be VERY careful of getting this guy near your eyes because it is acid after all. also many people have many different opinions about how the solution works for them, but i personally love and DEFINITELY recommend it if you’ve got a little bit of under the skin bumps etc.
#4 : after the solution sets ( i leave it for about 30 seconds!!!) i move onto my sunscreen. i am a sunscreen everyday girl because my skin is super light, but definitely when using the solution make use of sunscreen because the acid can really cause skin damage. i use peter thomas roth UV milk its a super thin solution and it doesn’t clog my pores too much.
mario badescu rose water facial spray / mario badescu drying cream / mario badescu almond and honey face scrub / mario badescu anti acne serum / mario badescu buffering lotion / neutrogena positively radiant daily moisturizer /
i hope you enjoyed!

hey all!
i posted last time for prom and got a few comments, just letting you all know that these are just dresses that i think are pretty and not ones that i am necessarily gonna buy or wear for my own prom, but ones i think are super cute! with that being said:
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 we go!
this is one of my absolute favorite gowns that i’ve found while looking. it’s very classy and super amazing. the navy is an absolutely beautiful color and the fabric is also beautiful and would pair super well with gold earrings.
#2 : ruffle chiffon gown
i love the ruffles on this dress and the wrap neckline. its a beautiful color and is also offered in a navy and in two other pretty colors.
this red dress is an absolute stunner! i love the wrap quality of the dress and the little pleats within the skirt. red is always a beautiful color and will definitely allow you to stand out at your own prom.
#4 : bill levkoff surplice chiffon gown
i loved my bill levkoff dress from last year, the beautiful black and white two-piece number and my graduation dress is also a bill levkoff, but y’all will see that soon enough! this dress is super beautiful in navy!
#5 : jenny yoo starry night embroidered dress
i am absolutely loving stars right now and this chic dress with the embroidered stars will be a very trendy and up to date look for your prom this year! it would be beautiful with star themed jewelry and sparkly shoes.
#6 : show me your mumu jeni gown
finally, this simple ‘show me your mumu’ gown is super simple and not entirely expensive. it comes in like 6+ colors for almost every skin tone and color that you may like best!
xoxo
