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!

Clouds part, Just to give us a little sun.

Light pink/blue c/o Papaya Clothing stud blouse, Gold vintage Chanel pin, Silver c/o Jeweliq earrings, Light blue H&M jeans, Pink c/o JewelMint abacus wrap bracelet, Ivory vintage Chanel purse, Tan Zara sandal heels. 

I've always loved blouses and when I found this one from Papaya Clothing -- a combination of pastel blue and pink top (perfect for Spring), I was intrigued mostly by the studded collar.  I find that with my style growing I gravitate toward having also fun with accessories; I was inspired lately by Atlantic Pacific, genius on placing a pin at the collar, a cool spin-off from a bow tie.  Also, I don't wear earrings often but I am loving these silver wing earrings from Jeweliq, their collection of ear candy is amazing!  Currently, eyeing these beauties.

For shoes, I cannot tell you enough how much I love the shoes at Zara (their quality is durable aand more importantly comfortable).  I think most of my closet has Zara haha, I can't help but walk into there to "window shop," and come out with so many items.

These next few months are going to be way too much fun -- because it involves a lot of travel and music festivals, concerts, and so much more (mostly with my lovely partner in crime, Chanda).  I can't wait to wear more summer outfits also, festival inspired.  Which btw, I am going to host an exciting giveaway soon, hint: music festival inspired.  Stay tuned lovelies!

And speaking of giveaways, excited to announce the winner of the Jeweliq giveaway: congrats to Sassy from  Strictly For The Dance Floor!

Have an amazing rest of the week loves! Friday is almost heeeereeee (sry getting excited bc this week has been too long!!)

P.S. Blog title is from "Limit To Your Love" by Feist, such a sweet song -- definitely recommend :).

Rose romance.

Photos by Sight Through Glass Photography

Pink ASOS rosette strapless dress, Arm candy: Pale blue c/o LuLu*s bracelet, Ivory c/o Charlotte Russe rose wrap bracelet, gold rings via Crossroads Trading, Ivory stone ring c/o Beginning Boutique, Ivory vintage Chanel clutch, Nude c/o Steve Madden Marlenee sandal heels.

If I could relive Valentine's Day again, I'd have a sweet picnic date out in Napa somewhere involving wine tasting & maybe this would be the dress I'd take out...everything about it is so romantic and beautiful (I thankfully found it in the sale section while online shopping on ASOS).  

The important part of accessorizing for this dress is to keep everything soft and subtle -- I paired accessories with golds and interestingly a pretty pale blue color with this LuLu*s bracelet (lovely pastels for Spring).  The perfect shoes to top off the outfit were these sandal Marlenee heels from Steve Madden.

For the shoot, decided to go with a romantic pretty setting at the Berkeley Botanic Gardens again (seriously can't wait to visit again once everything is in bloom this May).  Once again lovely photography by Matthew Liu, Sight Through Glass Photography :).

Have a lovely start of your week Beautifuls!
