Cheetah Camo Remix.

Dark green c/o LuLu*s camo jacket (similar style here), Metallic skirt via Crossroads Trading, Brown gifted Isaac Mizrahi 'Simon' oxford flats, Arm candy: gold crystal bullet ring and black button ring c/o West Egg Jewelry, gold arrow ring c/o LuLu*s (similar style here),  Brown cheetah print clutch c/o DAAME.  

Whenever I create outfits, I love styling looks with an interesting mix of textures and prints.  Here I styled camo and cheetah prints with a metallic textured skirt.  I love how the tan oxfords go well with this outfit, not overpowering the rest of it (having a unique prints together).  Also, with accessories I decided to have fun with these beautiful rings from West Egg Jewelry.  The designer of this online shop, Heather Ross (also a great fashion blogger), reached out and let me know of her jewelry line, which has some beautiful pieces!  Her jewelry is available on Facebook which you can purchase there directly by FB messaging her with your selection (item number) and your email.  Just a heads up her jewelry is also available on Redditgifts Marketplace, and see where her inspiration comes from on her Pinterest as well.

Happy almost halloween lovelies!! Hope you have a great rest of the week. Keep inspiring! 

P.S. I'll be attending a Birchbox dinner in SF tonight, be sure to follow my instagram here to find out what the event is about! :)

Oxblood.

Dark brown jacket c/o Bebe, Gold spike necklace c/o Jeweliq, Black 'Celine Dion' shirt, Oxblood gifted Alyssa Nicole skater skirt via Chictopia Rewards, Brown 'Love' bracelet c/o Buy Love Give Love, Brown Cheetah clutch c/o DAAME, Brown Zara sandal heels, Rings: Bauble Bar ring gifted by the boyfriend :), Gold arrow ring via Crossroads Trading.

Ever since last Fall season for fashion trends, one that has stuck with me was the 'Oxblood' trend. Funny how the name of that color is so graphic, but its beginning to become my favorite color for Fall.  I fell in love with this skate skirt because of how feminine yet unique with the sheer overlay.  Designer Alyssa Nicole created such a beautiful silhouette and piece. This outfit is more on the edgier side with darker colors, a biker jacket, and a spike necklace for accessories.  I decided to add a pop of print to the outfit with the cheetah clutch.  Again, a transitional Fall outfit, but I'll definitely be living in cozy sweaters this Fall / Winter seasons.

Hope you lovelies have been doing well! Woo, Happy Friday! Longest week ever, but I really feel like I'm doing well in all the tasks and projects I've had at my job.  It's all a learning experience, but I'm happy I'm moving in the right direction.  

Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead! I'm celebrating both my little brother's and boyfriend's birthdays this Sunday.  I surprised them with tickets to the Niners game! Doing a tail-gate party beforehand.  It'll be their first time going, can't wait to go (my first time too!).

Keep inspiring Beautifuls!

Grunge glam.

Navy blue American Apparel crop top, Gold spike necklace c/o Jeweliq, Navy Zara skirt (similar cute leopard style) and plaid shirt (similar style), Brown leopard clutch c/o DAAME, Brown fox wrap bracelet c/o Jeweliq, Black studded heels c/o Choies (white and red versions).

A trend I can definitely say I have grown fond of and that has shown up multiple times this past NYFW are crop tops.  I think we could thank the gorgeous Liv Tyler from Empire Records (a fave movie too!) for setting the foundation of this great trend.  In addition, bringing back the 90's, loving the plaid and shirts tied around the waist this season.  This print is definitely one of my favorites for Fall.

I love mixing prints, so decided here to pair plaid with a hint of leopard.  And to add to the grungy feel, I accessorized with a spike necklace and these gorgeous studded heels from Choies.

DAAME x Inspirafashion Style Feature and $25 Giveaway!

Yellow Theory knit sweater, Metallic skirt c/o Crossroads Trading, Brown Karen Walker Super Duper Strength sunnies, Red bracelet gifted by Kurt Geiger, Brown Fossil watch c/o the boyfriend, Light brown Zara heels, Cheetah print c/o DAAME clutch.

Lovelies! So glad to share with you a recent feature I collaborated with DAAME, (pronounced 'dame'), a life-loving group with a rebellious spirit. They design bags in collaboration with their online members who personally choose features and curate bags and accessories they'd love to purchase. They're driven by a singular passion – to educate girls in need and change the world’s future for the better. A portion of every purchase goes toward their nonprofit partners who provide services and education for girls in need.

With DAAME, we decided to do a fun style their new clutch in two ways. With the post, I share how I style their new fold-over cheetah print clutch. In addition to how I style it, they've also partnered with my BBFF ("Best Blogger Friend Forever") Chelsea from the blog, Zipped. It was so appropriate to collaborate with us, as we've been virtual "pen-pals" over the years ever since we first started our blogs.

In addition, I partnered with them on a "Bag Snoop" feature on which they took a look inside my bag for fun daily essentials. Can't wait to share with you the rest of it soon!

I decided to style the DAAME cheetah clutch with different textures -- knit sweater, metallic tweed skirt, and leather heels. I love mixing textures as well as complementing with neutral colors, browns and yellows. For accessories, I added my gold and red bracelets along with a brown Fossil watch my boyfriend lovingly let me borrow ;). And to top it off with my trusty Karen Walker sunnies.

DAAME and Inspirafashion are also bringing to you a great giveaway!! Enter to win $25 credit to the DAAME shop! Rules are below.
