Hi Beautifuls!!  FINAALLY the Spring/Summer Lookbook from Trendy Rose, a fashion, beauty, and entertainment website, has officially launched!!  This is the first really big project I was a part of to start off as a freelance fashion stylist.  And had so much fun styling everything the whole way through.
And I am so happy to have worked with loovely CEO, Theresa Rose, on this project where she wanted to help me get into fashion styling.  I couldn't thank her enough for this opportunity, but once again, thank you so much girl! :)

And it wouldn't have happened without the help from the wonderful & super talented individuals who put a lot of hardwork into this lookbook.  Rose, a beyond amazing and talented photographer & friend :).  Talia, her makeup is so gorgeous and she listened so well to what I wanted for the shoot -- twiggy-inspired makeup with fake eyelashes on the bottom.  Kaitlin and Mingi, the two beeeautiful models & friends (was their first shoot too!!).  And of course, the shoot wouldn't have happened without the gorgeous clothing provided by Switch Consignment Store and my wonderful sponsor, Hardcouture.  Once again, THANK YOU soo much everyone! <3

So happy to share this with all of you my readers -- as I said before, I really did mean it when I said I wanted to take you along the ride for my :crossing fingers: career in fashion.  It always means a lot for you all to be a part of it.  :)

Praying I get to work with many more amazing people, definitely feel free to contact me if you want to collaborate!  Just starting out as a freelance fashion stylist <3.

Also, here are some of the outtakes from the shoot thought I'd like to share with you too! :)

Alright loves!  Thank you so so much again for your support, have a beeautiful sunny fun week to come and keep inspiring!! :)

MobShop Guest Curating & Berkeley Sale!

Hi Beautifuls!!  Happy Saturday!  Sooo, a lot of things have been happening this week (sorry for the absence again) but I promise, things will be back up and running on my blog this upcoming week with more posts :).  Few things that happened so far for me:  Thursday, attended the Shourouk Jewelry Designer event at La Boutique in SF!  Friday: attended my boyfriend's graduation at Cal!  aand took photos for my little brothers off to their Junior and Senior Prom (they grow up soo fast!)  And today, going to my boyfriend's graduation party.

But I also wanted to share with you some reaaally exciting news!  I was contacted by Lauren and Romy, the lovely founders of MobShop, both a webstore and a mobile high-end showcase of American-made brands and vintage at incredibly competitive prices. They find unique and unexpected locations in which they create a boutique atmosphere that is only available for one day.  
Right now they're doing an exciting trip all around California and already had one in San Francisco, will have one soon in LA and other areas of CA, and THIS WEEKEND is having one in Berkeley! :)

The exciting news!...They asked if I would like to be a guest curator for their shop and curate a vintage collection on their site.  Of course I happily said YES!  
And soo, I wanted to personally invite you my readers to this event they will be having this weekend!  They will be having a vintage/designer clothing sale at Berkeley today Saturday, and tomorrow Sunday!  It's so cute too that they're having it at a safari-tented Bohemian garden! :)

I will be at the Berkeley MobShop Sale on Sunday!!  If you want help styling by me or just want to hang out, have a fun-filled day of Vintage Shopping, come out to this event! :)  If you're in the Bay Area, I can't wait to meet you all! :) 
PS. The vintage collection I will be guest curating, will be up on their website soon after this event :).  Keep on the look out!

Enjoy a few pictures from recent MobShop's they've had around California so far! :)

Come out to the Berkeley event!  I'll be there on Sunday, hope to see you there!! :)  

Have an amazing fun and sunny weekend Beautifuls!  Keep inspiring!!  And once again, thank you so much again for all your support.  <3

Jeans & Leopards.

Brown Forever 21 leopard jean shorts, White thrifted woven belt, Black gifted Biluxi Rad T-Shirt (cropped DIY-ed), Tawny H&M fringe bag, Tan Forever 21 suede wedges, Silver/white F21 rings.

Although it is supposed to be Summer with more free time, I feel like I'm getting even busier! lol.  Oh the irony.  But, it's a GOOD kind of busy..not like the kind where you're stuck at home all day trying to study for a test that week (believe me, I've gone through soo many of those moments) -- I am so happy for a break.  Which btw, everyone who is in finals mode right now, good luck on your finals! Your almost there! and bet you will all do a great job :).

Was gifted by Biluxi, an online t-shirt shop, this lovely shirt called "Rad," and just love how it has a vintagey rocker feel to it w/ the photograph.  And um, the girl in the pic is soo gorgeous :).  Decided to also DIY crop it myself, always love the freedom of expression with t-shirts.

Haad to share with you the newest member to my evergrowing jean shorts collection.  I saw online that it was back in stock on F21, visited my local one, and found it!  It's so lovely, and so happy w/ the price too.  K, I think I'm kind of going through a phase of leopard/cheetah print overload..sry bout that lol.  But don't we all go through that stage at one point? ;P

A few very exciting things are quickly happening in terms of fashion this week.  The SF photoshoot w/ Lydia Hudgens was postponed due to the horrible gloomy/rainy weather we've been having :/, really now Bay Area weather, WHYYY? Well, happy it'll be a bit sunny tomorrow..traveling to SF in the morning to meet up w/ her :).

Thenn, this Thursday, I was invited by Ruby Press to attend this one of a kind event at La Boutique.  A French jewelry designer, Shourouk, is going to show us her collection/inspirations.  Her jewelry was seen on the runway of Jean Paul Gaultier's couture shows!  Very excited bout this :).

THEN, (yes i know i DTM..do.too.much. haha), there is an event I'm attending on Sunday that I'm superr excited to tell you all about!!  News will come about it this week forsure! :)

But things un-related to fashion this week.  My amazing boyfriend (& the person behind all the camera shots lol), Jeff, is graduating from UC Berkeley this Friday!  I am super super proud of him :).

Floral sweetness.

White/blue c/o ClubCouture floral dress, Brown thrifted belt, White vintage Chanel purse, Silver ebay slave chain bracelet, Turquoise Crossroads rings, Dark brown ASOS boots.

Hi Beautifuls!!  Omg, I've been yearning for a while now to finally post again, and thank goodness Blogger is working now!  Sorry lovelies for the absence, but I'm back with full force once again! :)  ..especially since I can officially say...I'm DONE w/ my Junior year at Cal!! woot! time to relax, start a to-do list for this Summer (ie. watercolor painting, DIY projects, slumber parties w/ my besties, etc.)  Summer's finaaally here! :)

And to enjoy this spring/summer goodness, I wanted to lounge around in the sweet spring sun with my new favorite spring dress!  Sent by my newest sponsor, ClubCouture!  The sheer fabric and floral print (without being overly flowery) just makes me want to have tea in a secret garden for the springtime.  I wanted to create a classy look by taking out my faaave vintage bag right now -- Chanel! and do something different with my hair -- so decided to tie it up in a very high bun.  To make this outfit more casual and comfy, paired it off with my ASOS boots.

Also, as my newest sponsor, ClubCouture is giving Inspirafashion's readers a 15% discount off any item from their online shop! Be sure to check out their amazing collection of spring clothing! :)  At check-out, enter this offer code: CCBLOG15
Also! ClubCouture is having a free shipping worldwide promotion (no minimum spend required)!

This next week is pretty packed for me in terms of Fashion events..I've been contacted by many amazing companies/individuals to meet with them, so I'm super excited!  I will definitely let you know all the details.  But first up, this Saturday, I'm meeting up with the aamazing photographer, Lydia Hudgens; we're going to have a shoot in Hayes Valley (in SF), never been there before, so am super excited to visit and of course hang out in the city w/ this girl :)

This past week, I couldn't help myself from indulging a bit in shopping...broke my shopping diet just for now :P.  But these items were so lovely to not pass up..

Got my new swimsuit for summer!!  H&M right now has an amazing collection of swimsuits, which I def recommend to get, #1 they're super unique and cuute, #2 most importantly, they're inexpensive for great quality ($15-$20).  I just hope in this swimsuit, I don't get a strange tan/sunburn from the side parts haha.

I also bought at one of my fave stores, Target, new makeup items -- Chelsea of Zipped and her lovely self introduced me and recommended me to get the L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara (which im luhlooving at the moment).  I also wanted to get a new lipshade for Spring -- an orangey Coral.  Bought Revlon lipstick in Siren.

Hi Beautifuls!  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!  (esp to all the super stylish mommy bloggers out there!! you're all so inspiring!) I had such a fun mother's day this year, although I celebrated it early with my mommy, I treated her out to her fave thrift store, Goodwill (we both love thrifting) -- and she definitely was the first to show me actually what "thrifting" was.  We found so many items for only $40!  Check out my very first haul video on my Youtube channel below.

I found this amazing L.E.I. jean jacket with a pretty leopard collar, so unique.  Man, I still remember wearing L.E.I. jeans back in middle school! ;P Who knew i'd wear them again? haha. And for the title of this post, I always get writer's block..I wanted to put the words "leopard" and "red" together..and came up with that sentence lol.

And this really has to be one of my most rocker-esque type outfits ever, yep I can be tough at times too!! lol

And got my new Romwe red tights, I love them!!  K, really now, I've dealt with lots and lots of diff types of tights, and their tights have like noo snagging whatsoever, which is super important for me, being a "tight connoisseur" haha jk, but i do wear tights a lot!  And i love how they're the first pair of colored tights i own! and they're my fave kind, sheer! :)

As said before, I've started an official Facebook page for my blog! :)  And just looking back at how this blog has started, really gets me all emotional (yes, this blog is like my baby).  I started out on Chictopia and moved on to here, but will save that story for later :); I just want to say a big thank you to all of you beautifuls!!

Onto a new chapter for my blog, would loove if you would give some likin' (aand lovin') to Inspirafashion's official facebook page! :)
