Suede sweets.

Ivory American Apparel floral jumper, Black vintage Dooney and Bourke purse, Orange c/o Lulus studded wrap watch, Brown c/o LUXLA hexnut bracelet, Bracelets: ASOS spike, CC Skye starburst, Coach stacked rings, Burgundy Urban Outfitters jeans, Grey c/o ShoeMint KBell wedges.

My idea of a laid back comfortable outfit.  Being 5'9 in these wedges (which I'd love to be originally ;P), they are still so amazingly comfy!  Not to mention one of my fave sandal wedges of the moment: Kbell from ShoeMint has this beautiful suede exterior and buckle detail on the sides -- comfort meets chic.  Decided to pair them off with lovely AA floral jumper..it reminds me of fluffy clouds if they were flowers :).  Arm candy for the day is an array of sweet treats: ASOS spike bracelet (new to the bracelet-family), and Lulus orange watch for a lovely bright addition of color.

Peach and mint florals.

Light blue vintage Levis denim vest via Sifted Vintage, Pastel pink/mint Forever 21 floral dress, Ivory vintage Chanel purse, Ivory c/o Beginning Boutique bold ruler ring, Bracelets: F21, Coach, CC Skye, Brown Urban Outfitters wedges.

I am embracing all pastel colors I can get my hands on for this Spring.  Colors I adore are sorbet/cotton candy shades, like mint, peach, lilac, sky blue, and soft yellow.  Anything from Louis Vuitton's S/S '12 collection has me excited for pastels this Spring.  I know cliche to wear pastels for spring season..and even in a floral pattern, but couldn't help myself.  I was so drawn to this dress when I spotted it at Forever 21.

I think something that will always be signature to my style is my love for mixing edgy and sweet pieces together (creating a great irony) -- ie. this floral dress paired with this amazing vintage Levis denim vest from Sifted Vintage (which I scored as well at the Alameda Point Antiques Faire).  

And a sweet Spring outfit wouldn't be complete without a pair of sandals, but better yet for comfort: sandal wedges from UO.  

I know everyone said the groundhog Phil saw his shadow this year, but the sun nonetheless came out this past weekend!  I hope the beautiful sun is here to stay.

Have an amazing week ahead Beautifuls!  Happy Monday!

Raspberry Red: LUXLA Indian leather hex bracelet Giveaway!

Raspberry red Lush chiffon shirt dress, Brown thrifted belt, Silver Forever 21 necklace, Dark brown H&M chelsea boots, Brown gifted LUXLA Indian leather hex nut bracelet, Gold CC Skye starburst bracelet, Grey gifted Rebecca Minkoff circle quilt MAB Mini satchel.

This to me is a comfy outfit -- boots with a little bit of heel, loose sheer chiffon, and a handy (not to mention one of the most beautiful bags I own) satchel.  Carefree summer meets fall outfit..kind of a part 2 I guess of the inspiration post I previously made.

I found this lovely chiffon shirt dress at Sway in Berkeley, a great store with such pretty clothing.  This shirt dress in particular just really reminded me of one by Alexander Wang..sadly I can't afford his, so I decided to find one similar! :)  Along with another item I've been coveting, the Isabel Marant Dicker boots..I found a pair that remind me a bit of it from H&M the other day.

And just had to share with you this gorgeous Rebecca Minkoff MAB Mini I received in the mail about a few weeks ago.  You should've seen me carefully opening up the box..my boyfriend just laughed as I had a lot of "oohs" and "aahs" and "it's soooo pretty!" lol.

Decided to pair this outfit with unique and edgy accessories:  Silver F21 fringe dagger necklace, Gold CC Skye starburst jagged bracelet, and...beautifully handcrafted LUXLA bracelet.
