Muted neutrals.

Ivory Guess leather jacket, Light pink Zara sheer top, Ivory c/o LuLus lace skirt, Gold wire name necklace via Isle of Agape, Brown c/o SwellMayde envelope clutch, Black Zara heels.

I am loving all muted colors too for Spring, particularly light pinks, ivory golds.  I adore this lace skirt from lulus.com -- it can either be dressed up with heels or down with sneakers and a denim jacket.  Versatility is key in my wardrobe.  Accessories as well is my favorite part of an outfit -- here I decided to lay over the pretty lace Zara shirt (which btw, I am so obsessed with right now)..this gold necklace from Isle of Agape.  I love how it's so sweet and delicate!

K, lets talk about these Zara heels, they are really taking over the blogger world!  I couldn't resist though a while ago to get them..they were such a great price for something that looks so expensive!

TGIF Beautifuls!  Have a fun Easter weekend!  I still remember when I was little, the highlight of my Easter of course was running around the park with my three little brothers trying to see who could find the most eggs.  The fun of being a kid, I miss it!

P.S. Pree Brulee giveaway post is still open, be sure to enter here to win $25 and $10 gift cards!

Minty fresh.

Light pink HM blazer, Mint ASOS double collar top, Lilac c/o Nectar Clothing jean shorts (DIY studs), Ivory vintage Chanel purse, Silver c/o LYLIF claw ring, Silver F21 and Crossroads rings, Silver c/o Maya Brenner leather tie bracelet, Vintage watch, Tan Steve Madden Grettta heels.

As you can probably tell, I have a case of pastel craze!  I love mixing unique colors together, it's like painting -- but with clothes! ;)  Mint, lilac, blush -- all very fave colors for this Spring.  The ASOS double collar top is my all-time fave -- reminds me so much of Louis Vuitton S/S '12 collection.  Lilac jean shorts from Nectar Clothing are such a great candy color, thought it'd be so cool to stud them just a touch with silver ones :).  Yay for DIYs!  And the absolutely aamazing silver claw ring from LYLIF adds that extra contrast of edginess to this sweet outfit.  Definitely rec to check out more amazing trendy jewelry from LYLIF!

How have you lovelies been?! I wanna apologize for the lack of posts last week, omg the weather here in the Bay Area has been insane.  Taking photos outside has been delayed mainly due to the rain.  But I am very happy the sun has come back!  Also, work and school has been quite hectic!  I cannot believe my eyes that there's just about one more month left of being a student at Cal.  It hasn't really hit me yet that I'm leaving this beautiful inspiring campus..but I know it will soon.  My ultimate plan is my very last day to go up Campanile..and just scream of happiness I'm done. OK, maybe not that extreme but I'll prob just quietly stare out into the sunset, contemplating of what exciting things lie ahead, symbolic ;).

Have a lovely week ahead Beautifuls!!  Keep inspiring!

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 ;).

P.S. I entered a contest to win 3-month blogging contract of $1500 & $500 shopping spree on Threadflip! If you like my entry, pls. vote, thx so much lovelies for all your amaazin' support ♥ http://bit.ly/wlxRJx
