Vibrant jewels.

Teal lace top via Crossroads Trading, Green c/o Mimi Boutique collar necklace, Red c/o Filthy Magic floral skater skirt, Orange Calvin Klein sandal heels, Purple c/o Mimi Boutique Cassie clutch.

One trend I find the most fun and interesting is color blocking -- here I decided to play around with a mix of different vibrant jewel tone colors: purple, orange, red, and green.  With fashion I always try to have fun, kind of like a painting putting all the pieces, colors, silhouettes together.  This outfit I styled probably shows how much I love art (I hope to get back into it soon) -- I used to love doing artwork with pastels or charcoal.  

With color blocking, I decided to pair this beautiful purple clutch from Mimi Boutique with this out of this world lovely skirt from Filthy Magic.  To top it off (literally haha) I paired it with this amazing lace teal top via Crossroads Trading.  And no outfit is complete without the perfect pair of shoes -- these Calvin Klein orange sandal heels.

Hope you lovelies have an amazing weekend ahead! Have fun in the sun (if it's sunny where you are) or just chillax.. cheers to the freakin' weekend ;).

Peplum paisley.

Black c/o GUESS peplum dress, White c/o GUESS rhinestone necklace, Arm candy: Coral c/o JewelMint Sun Stone bracelet, ASOS spike bracelet, Gold c/o Mimi Boutique lion bracelet, Black and gold rings via Crossroads Trading, Nude Nasty Gal stud clutch, Orange Calvin Klein sandal heels.

I decided it'd be a fun post to give inspiration of what to wear for Valentine's Day coming up -- this is part one, this version I'd call darker and sexier rather than sweet and dainty (which will be part two of this series).  Leave it to GUESS to make the perfect blend of classy, sexy and chic in this dress with the peplum and paisley pattern.  Not only is it sheer in front but all on the back.  I decided to pair it with colorful accessories: white rhinestones w/ the pretty bib GUESS necklace.  This pretty JewelMint coral stone bracelet was the perfect pop of color, along with my Calvin Klein heels.  View this outfit also on my Chictopia account here.

Cannot believe it's already February!  Where did time fly again?!  Hope you lovelies have an amazing month ahead.  This past month was a very eventful one starting off the new year, helped to co-host a Chictopia shopping party in SF, modeled/styled Alyssa Nicole's Spring '13 collection, had my first time for high tea at the Rotunda, and among other things on my instagram.

Have an amazing week ahead Beautifuls!  Keep inspiring!
