Ombre edge.

Ivory DIY Studded Guess leather jacket (cool leather jackets here and here), Light blue Style Stalker ombre dress, Bracelets: friendship wrap bracelet via TINNLILY, Silver leather tie bracelet c/o Maya Brenner, vintage watch; Black vintage Dooney & Bourke satchel, Tan Zara wedges.

I've been meaning to share some of my DIY stud projects and finally here's one of them!  Oddly enough this only took me about 20 minutes to complete..definitely felt like this jacket needed some more interest, so thought, why not add silver studs?

Decided to play off the silver studs, with jewelry, arm candy complete.  This ombre Style Stalker dress is completely amazing -- I scored it for an amazing price at Loehmann's in SF.  I love the sheer panel detail in the middle.  One thing I think I'll be very obsessed with this summer is ombre, can't get enough..aand tie-dye as well, have you seen Isabel Marant's tie-dye jeans? gah, I die.

Lastly, I thought I'd take out my Zara wedges from the closet for once..these beauties are still my all-time favorite wedges, so glad I scored and found them last summer!

Have an amaazing week ahead lovelies!  Lets get through this week together!  It's crunch time for me, finals is coming fast, but I plan to push through!

Keep inspiring loves!

♥, Kathleen.

    

Wispy white.

Blue vintage Tommy Hilfiger jean jacket, Gray Brandy Melville knit sweater, White Brandy Melville dress, Brown vintage Coach purse, Tan Mark Report suede boots, Ivory bold ruler ring c/o Beginning Boutique, Gold HM necklace, Orange silk wrap bracelet via TINNLILY.

I've been on a search for the perfect loosely-fitted white dress for summertime, and finally found it with a visit to Brandy Melville this past weekend at Walnut Creek.  Which btw, the weather was AMAZING..90 degrees, and I looved it ;)..I think I was made to live in this kinna weather.

Well these photos however do not depict that, unfortunately in Berk Sunday there was this strange cloud hovering over the city -- which is why my jean jacket popped in the photo last min lol. But the bf and I decided anyways to explore 4th street!

Decided to go comfy casual, and color detox much? :P, sometimes you need those kind of days.  One day I wanna try make-up detox...not wearing makeup for like an entire weekend -- which is a lot for me, I practically wear makeup every day!  Also, off topic -- surprisingly these photos are from my iPhone!  I was surprised at the quality, sometimes it's cool to take blog pics with it and to not haul around my heavy Nikon on outings :).

Anyways, hope you lovelies are doing well! and had a fantastic weekend!  Keep inspiring Beautifuls!

P.S. I have a final project for my last Psychology statistics class at UC Berkeley (I'm graduating in less than a month!), and would love if you can help me complete it by taking this quick online survey:  https://qtrial.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_bq2KF0JBfhFRFpW It's very relatable, about Twitter and Facebook use! Thanks lovelies a bunch if you can!

P.S.x2 The amazing Disco Pony giveaway I'm hosting on my blog ends this week: Thursday, 4/26!!  Be sure to enter to win the Natalie dress and jumper version! Enter HERE.

Neon highlights.

White HM sheer blouse, Orange neon necklace via JenHoodenpyle, Purple chevron skirt c/o Beginning Boutique, Ivory vintage Chanel clutch, Bracelets: Ivory pyramid F21, Gold spike ASOS, Orange wrap bracelet via TINNLILY, ASOS suede boots.

Another obsession of mine for this Spring is definitely neon jewelry!  I am loving how they add just enough spark to an outfit -- here especially makes my stark white blouse more interesting with the gorgeous neon hand-painted necklace via JenHoodenpyle.  I decided to also continue the orange jewelry trend with TINNLILY wrap bracelet.  

This skirt is aaamazing from Beginning Boutique..it first caught my eye because it so reminded me of Missoni -- the zig zag chevron pattern and interesting color palette.  In addition, it has this little hint of metallic threads in it as well.

How're you lovelies doing?!  My apologies for the hiatus, seriously the bay area weather is freakin annoying me!  One day it's nice, then another day there's thunder and lightning non-stop, wth!  Well, I just hope the sun is here to stay!  Hope you had a great weekend and keep inspiring Beautifuls!

P.S. Excited to announce the Pree Brulee gift card giveaway winners! Congrats to Tiffany, Shaina, and Tina!  Thanks loves for entering!

Bohemian coral.

Coral organza lace dress c/o Nectar Clothing, Tan HM fringe bag, Red earrings c/o Pree Brulee, Bracelets: Gold vintage wrist watch, Gold vintage belt bracelet via Diament designs, Candy pink rhinestone friendship via miravera, Spike ASOS, Orange silk wrap via TINNLILY, Beige Sam Edelman sandals.

So this has to be the most fun colored dress I have -- I simply adore the bright coral color, very candy-sweet for Spring time :).  I also love the lace detail on top, definitely check out Nectar Clothing's collection of dresses, they're so perfect for Spring!  Since it was dressy already, thought I'd dress it down with my new Sam Edelman sandals (which btw, have this gorgeous metallic detail in the heel) and with my fringe HM bag (it hasn't had any love for such a long time ;p).  Arm party happening with all bright colors to accent the dress.  Lastly, the red earrings from Pree Brulee adds the sweetest touch -- I don't usually wear earrings but these were so adorable!

Spring break is next week!!  All I gotta say is, FINALLY..a much-needed break!  I am about to enjoy the sun, visit the beach maybe and have park lunch-dates with my love.  Btw, first day of Spring was few days ago!  Happy Spring lovelies ;).

P.S.  Few features I'd like to share:

On 365Hangers blog, find out how to style pastels and check out my bangin' ;) feature on Refinery 29 today! :)

Mint lilac.

 

Mint HM cropped sweater, Vintage Levis denim vest via Sifted Vintage, Light purple American Apparel floral chiffon skirt, Brown vintage Coach purse, Silver ASOS collar necklace, Bracelets: light pink rhinestone friendship via miravera, mint lilac wrap bracelet via TINNLILY, ivory Forever 21 rhinestone; Blue stone ring via Style Bonbon blog shop, Black Dolce Vita Jamison suede boots.

I thought I'd play off colors from the AA skirt..and plus, I'm telling you, my crazy love for pastels is slowly creeping into my wardrobe every day.  Was inspired as well by arm candy you see here..pretty mermaid like colors or of candy: miravera rhinestone friendship bracelet, mint lilac wrap bracelet from TINNLILY and F21 bracelet, hand candy is from Style Bonbon's shop.  To play down the girliness, decided to add the edgy Levis denim vest from Sifted Vintage.
Lastly, these Dolce Vita booties have been my all-time fave for days upon days..they're the most comfy booties I own hence the wear n tear of them ;p..but at least I know I can count on them n to top it off they're so cute :).
Alrighty loves, I am superily excited that it is Friday but I have lots of work to do this weekend -- aka, study for two midterms next week.  I hope you all have a fun relaxing weekend!  Keep dry (if you're in the Bay, stormy weird rainy weather is happening) or have fun in the sun, if you're else where ;).
