Tan American Apparel cropped top (cute dark red version here), Silver c/o t+j Designs rhinestone collar necklace, Vintage Chanel crossbody purse, Tan c/o Filthy Magic skirt, Nude Zara sandal heels (similar style here), Gold ring via Crossroads Trading, Gold crown ring c/o Charlotte Russe.

Cropped tops will probably be a big part of my wardrobe for this fall, or any other season for that matter. I couldn't get enough too of this rhinestone collar necklace from t+j Designs, I decided to let it shine as the main accessory for this outfit, keeping all the other pieces neutral and light.  I haven't worn these Zara sandals in a while, but I love how the heel isn't that high and it has a simple silhouette. A simple outfit with some pretty flowers in the background.

Hope you lovelies have had a great week so far! I'm really ready for the weekend, is it just me or the weeks keep getting longer? Hope you guys have a great relaxing time off. Well deserved! ;)
Keep inspiring Beautifuls.

Pale yellow c/o LuLu*s lace dress (black version here, similar coral one here), White c/o Guess rhinestone necklace, Arm candy: silver c/o Filthy Magic spike bracelet, Ivory vintage Chanel purse, Tan Zara sandal heels.

For Spring, in particular, I'm loving pastels (I know very cliche) but that and floral patterns just scream this pretty season for fashion.  I decided to accessorize with white and gold tones.  This pale yellow lace dress from LuLu*s is such a beauty, I love how it has this cool sporty racer back too.  Decided to wear out my fave new Zara sandal heels.
I had the pleasure of shooting again with my fave Ryan Chua, was such a pretty day in Golden Gate Park.  I can't wait for more sun to soak up!  Hope you lovelies had a great weekend!

Btw lovelies, excited to share that I will be going to Coachella this year!!!  I can't wait to share with you my desert adventure..which brings me to exciting news. I'm teaming up with Crossroads Trading on guest-gramming ;) pics during that time.  Be sure to check out their instagram on April 12th!

P.S. Blog title is from Lana Del Rey's "Video Games," think I'll just continue with song lyrics that reflect the mood of each outfit post.  It's fun too to share what songs/artists I love :).
Also! Congrats to Jessica from Bows & Sequins on winning the Alyssa Nicole skate skirt! Stay tuned lovelies for more fun giveaways to come!

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 ;).

White American Apparel turtleneck cropped top, Grey Urban Outfitters high-low skirt, Silver c/o ShoeMint stud spike 'Zoe' heels, Brown gifted Kurt Geiger leopard clutch, Arm candy: Silver c/o Filthy Magic spike bracelet, H&M cuff, silver rings via Crossroads Trading.

Decided to celebrate the new year, with of course something sparkly and pretty -- these ShoeMint 'Zoe' heels fit just that description of NYE-goodness.  Styled it with this gorgeous UO flowy high-low skirt and kept the colors to silvers/greys/neutrals w/ my AA cropped top.  For a mix of print, added my fave Kurt Geiger leopard clutch.

Happy New Years!  Can't believe 2012 is behind us and saying hello to 2013 now, time flies by way too fast; but they say it flies when you're having fun, which is so true -- 2012 brought me a lot of milestones and memorable feelings: happiness finally graduating from UC Berkeley, excitement starting my new job, gratefulness & bliss for having amazing readers like you along for the ride on my blog (being a part of such amazing features/events: Refinery 29 x TJ Maxx, Saks Fifth Avenue styling mannequins, Macy's collab w/ Pretty Little Liars Stylist, Got to host my first blogger collab party w/ Crossroads Trading)..

and to sum up 2012, decided to make a collage of some memorable memories :).

I am so excited for the new year, 2013 is going to be amazing! Happy 2013 Beautifuls!! Hope you'll have an amazing, fun, and exciting New Years Day!

Sweetheart.

Black Obey hat, Black Urban Outfitters moto jacket, Red c/o Nectar Clothing bag, Black c/o Inlovewithfashion.com dress, Black Steve Madden heels, Arm party: Oxblood gifted Kurt Geiger bracelet, Silver c/o Filthy Magic spike bracelet, Silver ring via Crossroads Trading.

I always gravitate toward dresses that have a unique wow factor to them, and this one definitely makes that list.  I love how this Inlovewithfashion.com dress, has sheer sleeves with a sweet-heart cut-out top.  To add to the red floral color, decided to style it with the Nectar Clothing sporty bag.  And I'm all about accessories, so added my favorite Obey hat, to add that cool sporty factor.  To keep it dressy, paired the outfit with strappy heels.
