Simplicity


Coat c/o Queen's Wardrobe, Blouse J. Crew, Skirt J. Crew, Tights Forever21, Pumps Zara, Purse Stella McCartney

I had a big presentation today and wanted to look professional, but not too dressy. A blouse and skirt or slacks is usually my go-to combo. I kept everything simple, which I think gives it a polished look. Anything J. Crew is usually a good option in my book :) 
How cute is the scallop detailing on this skirt?!

Lace & Gingham

 Top Loft, Skirt c/o Queen's Wardrobe, Trench H&M, Pumps Zara, Sunnies Elizabeth & James, Purse Stella McCartney, Lipstick YSL

Lately I have been playing around with mixing different textures and patterns to create fun, unique looks. I love the contrast of the gingham print with the crochet lace. I like to keep everything else pretty simple, with minimal jewelry and accessories. 
I'm in the middle of midterms right now, anticipating Spring Break next week! My dance team travels down south to Anaheim for the Big West Conference with the basketball team at my school. I can't wait to take a break from school, enjoy the warm weather and relax with my best friends. Only a few more days...

Work Attire

 Jacket J. Crew, T-shirt Stylemint, Pants Target, Belt Vintage, Pumps Zara, Watch Michael Kors, Lipstick NARS "Heatwave"

 For my internship, I like to keep things simple, polished and classic. A striped t-shirt and black slacks can easily be transitioned into jeans and flats for class! Lipstick always brightens my day as well :)

Floral Trousers

Jacket Anthropologie, Blouse Zara, Pants Anthropologie, Pumps Jessica Simpson, Purse Tory Burch, Aviators Ray Ban, Lipstick YSL

I have been a huge fan of the floral pant trend that has been popping up everywhere and I finally gave in when I spotted these trousers at Anthropologie. I absolutely love these pants and also the exact same pair in red (they are so soft and comfy!). I decided to tone down the intense floral pattern with a few shades of neutral colors and bright pink lip. Are you a fan of the floral print trend?

Lipsticks


I often get emails from girls asking me what my favorite lipsticks are, so I decided to put together a post on the lipsticks that are in current rotation in my beauty routine. As you can tell, I'm a huge fan of red. Although it is not quite as clear in the photos, each red lipstick that I use is a different shade. 
Lipsticks are a great way to spice up any outfit, whether it be with a t-shirt and jeans or a lbd.

Mixing Prints

Trench Zara, Blouse Old Navy, Trousers TopShop, Pumps Zara, Purse Tory Burch, Scarf LYLIF, Watch Michael Kors, Bracelets c/o Bfrend, Nail Polish Butter London "Blagger"

I finally got these trousers in the mail after ordering them almost a month ago. I thought it would be fun to mix the polka dot with this bird printed blouse from Old Navy. The key for mixing prints is pairing like colors. I love how these two prints end up complimenting each other!

Neon Yellow & Floral

 Skirt & Coat c/o Karen Kane, Blouse Tobi, Pumps & Clutch Zara

I bought a couple of these blouses from Tobi not only because they were really inexpensive, but they are so versatile and can add color to almost anything. I thought that I would bring out the gorgeous yellow in this skirt and really make it stand out. I'm drawn to anything neon yellow right now (Old Navy has some great stuff!) and I like it against my dark hair. I felt so ladylike in this outfit, which I love because I would describe myself as pretty girly. (I think I'm somewhat like Jess from New Girl) 
I want to thank all of you SO much for all of the support/help you gave me on my new hair color. I cancelled my appointment to get the color stripped off after many of you told me that it would severely damage my hair. The dark is slowly growing on me and I can see that it's already slightly fading. I took some of your helpful tips and went and got some of the products you guys recommended!

Video Update


Hello There!
As you can tell from the video, I got my hair done. And it's dark. Realllllly dark! 
Not really what I was expecting, but I'm trying to get used to it. 
I might go and get it done again, but I really don't want to damage it. 
So I might just let it fade out. Anywho, just talking about some new products 
and what not in the video.

Hair Details & More Brights In Winter

Blazer J. Crew, Dress Tobi, Oxfords Zara, Aviators Ray Ban, Necklace LYLIF

The weather has been unusually warm this week, it even reached 70 degrees today! I thought it was the perfect time to bring out a new bright colored dress for Spring and keep it somewhat winter appropriate with a navy blazer. As most of you known by now, I love color and this bright orange dress grabbed my attention instantly.
On another note, let's talk about my hair :) I told you guys a little over a week ago that I was getting my hair done and that I hadn't decided what I wanted to do. When I went to the salon, I decided to go lighter and take the blonde that was on the ends of my ombre and bring them up. To put it lightly, I was not pleased with the results. It just didn't look like me. So THEN, I went back to the salon and told them that I wanted to go darker. Not too dark. I was thinking Olivia Palermo brown. (she's pinned all over my pinterest boards) What I have now is the results of that. And again, I'm not pleased. The blonde ends did not want to take color as well as my roots, so now I have a two-toned color that is somewhat red/brown and grey/blonde on the ends. It's been frustrating because I feel as if I'm complaining a lot and being too picky. But it's my hair! Hair can be a very sensitive thing...at least for me. I have always been very conscientious of taking good care of my hair and try to keep it healthy. I now am getting my hair done for the third time on Sunday (along with a deep conditioning treatment so my hair won't get too mad at me) and I'm really nervous. I'm hoping that the results look something like this
So wish me luck! & Have a fabulous weekend.

Winter is fast approaching! Perhaps its time to start thinking about buying some knitwear to keep warm (like this one!)

Shop Paris With Love


 Blouse c/o Isabel Lu, Necklace c/o Shop Paris With Love "Le Cosmos Necklace"

Thomas and I took a few snapshots inside today since I have been a little under the weather. How gorgeous is this Shop Paris With Love necklace? I don't usually wear a lot of silver jewelry, so it's nice to change it up a bit. I love how simple and delicate it is...and it looks beautiful with my ring :)
Check out the rest of their collection here! I'm really lusting after these earrings too.

Pink + Red

 Blouse Tobi, Trousers Anthropologie (similar style here), Pumps Zara, Belt Vintage, Necklaces Spike the Punch, Sunnies Elizabeth and James, Purse Chanel

 I have seen pink and red paired together everywhere lately. After I saw this look and this post, I decided to give it a try. I really love the contrast of the two colors. I would have never thought to try try it! One of the reasons why I love blogging and street style is that there is inspiration everywhere. It can feel a little weird going out of your comfort zone, but it's fun to play around with different patterns and colors and test your imagination. 
Have a great weekend!
