Peace.

Pink floral blouse c/o Sheinside, Brown F21 leopard belt, Blue American Apparel jean shorts, Black thrifted purse, Silver vintage watch, Blue Give Hope bracelet c/o Urban Natures, Gold hamsa hand earrings c/o Hardcouture, Tan Zara sandal heels.

This is a very peaceful zen type of outfit -- cherry blossoms, hamsa hand, Give Hope bracelet..think I see a theme here. I tend to do that accidentally with putting together pieces -- a subliminal thing (I should know though, being a just graduated Psych major ;P).  

I recently was so inspired by Olivia Palermo.  This picture says it all.  Her mix of floral and leopard is impeccable, and here was my take on it.

I thought of playing off the colors with the light blue "Give Hope" bracelet by Urban Natures.  The bracelet has a beautiful message behind it.  UN gives 15% of its profit to aid children in need throughout impoverished regions around the world.  Definitely very notable on bringing together fashion and gift of giving.

This past week has been very busy but getting hang of things.  Lots of changes are happening in my life right now, but I feel for the better.  From my previous post, I'm too getting better :).  Thanks so much loves for all your kind words.

Hope you'll have a lovely rest of your weekend Beautifuls!!  Keep inspiring.

Blossoming.

Black Blossoming top c/o Nanette Lepore, Brown Urban Outfitters pants, Black thrifted chain purse, Gold chain ring c/o Hardcouture, Gold honeycomb cuff c/o Urban Natures, Black Zara heels.

Hi lovelies! I've missed you so, and want to apologize for the hiatus as work has been crazy busy past few weeks, just trying to get into a routine of things.  Thank you for being patient and very happy to be back with a post!

This outfit would be my go-to for weekends -- laid-back yet fun.  I love wearing cross body purses, they just instantly make an outfit more intriguing, especially if it has a cool chain like this one I recently found at a thrift store.  Now onto one of the most inspiring pieces of my wardrobe, this floral silk top by Nanette Lepore is beyond gorgeous.  The details of the print and lace appliqué make the top out of this world beautiful.
Decided to accessorize with gold, Hardcouture's cute chain rings add edge and the perfect addition of some arm candy with the gold honeycomb cuff from Urban Natures.

 For those in the US, have an amazing 4th of July everyone!  Hope you enjoy all the fireworks ;).
Keep inspiring Beautifuls!

♥, Kathleen.

    

Sheer lace.

Light pink c/o LuLus sheer bow top, Light blue vintage Levis shorts, Ivory c/o Beginning Boutique bold ruler ring, Bracelets: vintage, ASOS spike, F21 pyramid, Ivory vintage Chanel crossbody, Tan Sam Edelman sandals.

Hi loves! Firstly want to say I've missed you all so very much!  Apologize for the hiatus as things in my life right now have been extremely busy, or more so there recently was a big change in my life and needed time to take care of myself.  You know when something that becomes natural and routine suddenly disappears from your life?  Well, that's what happened to me kind of and sorry for speaking in riddles but it's the only way I can express myself right now.  Anyways lovelies, hope you understand for the hiatus, thank you for being patient in this time I need to get myself better.

My blog has been my biggest love and passion for this past year and a half, and just wanted to give a big thank you and shoutout to all who've supported and seen this blog grow from its baby steps (or anywhere in between) and who continue to give amazing support♥.

This outfit is probably one of my go-to ones with the basics: blouse tucked in to a high-waisted jean short with cross-body bag and sandals.  The blouse from LuLus is my most fave part because it has this gorgeous lace detail on the shoulders.  And the bow adds the sweet factor.

Keep inspiring Beautifuls, have an amazing weekend and week ahead!!
P.S. Happy belated Father's Day to all the daddy's out there! Here's a photo and shoutout to my wonderful daddy and grandpa, they've been the biggest support throughout everything, and very grateful to have them in my life.

♥, Kathleen.

    

Teal sunshine.

Brown Karen Walker Super Duper Strength sunglasses, Teal c/o Beginning Boutique lace cut-out dress (similar here), Bracelets: white F21 pyramid, vintage watch, ASOS spike, Zooshoo buckle bracelet via Jamie from Fancy Teacup's STYLE/STALK sale, Ivory c/o Beginning Boutique bold ruler ring, Black Mimi Boutique bag via Chictopia, Tan Zara buckle heels.

This is the very first official post with my new short hair!!  I decided spontaneously last memorial day weekend to cut it the shortest it has ever been and have to say I am looving it so far!  The change is just what I needed and so appropriate with all the new things happening in my life, just graduated and now new full-time job.

Decided with this outfit to keep it fairly simple, to focus on the gorgeous details of this dress and add my favorite part to an outfit, accessories.  Which btw, excited to share the new Karen Walker Super Duper Strength sunnies I have been dying over!  Can finally call them mine :).  K lets talk about this beyond beautiful dress from Beginning Boutique: 1) has this beautiful unique teal lace fabric, 2) the cut-outs in the back are so darling & fun, 3) my go-to summer dress. 

Newhoo lovelies, want to apologize for the hiatus again, I'm just getting used to this 9 to 5 schedule!  But soon getting the hang of things and blog posts will be coming again naturally.  I've missed you loves!  How's everything been going?  Hope you had a great week, and HAPPY FRIDAY!! And as Rihanna would say, "Cheers to the fricken' weekend" ;).

♥, Kathleen.

    

Studded sneaks.

Dark brown Brandy Melville floral chiffon dress, Brown Karen Walker Number One sunglasses, Vintage Coach bucket bag, White Converse sneakers DIY studs.

Decided to share one of my fave DIY projects, placing simple studs on the back of my white Converse..think it adds more fun to the stark white sneaker.  This will probably be my typical summer lounge outfit..past Sunday was a nice warm breezy 80 degree day.  Don't you love too when it's still warm at night?? That's when I know it's summertime!

So I am super excited because another Karen Walker addition will be coming to me soon!!  Caved in and got the Super Duper Strength sunnies..they're my favorite shape for sunglasses, round and big -- very Olsen twin-esque.

So thought I'd share with you my random thoughts on my hair..I think I'm going to make a big change this time!  This coming weekend going to head to the salon to get my hair cut in a bob, shoulder length or bit shorter (to leave enough room for curling hair).  Thought it'd be an appropriate time with all these big changes happening! Here's some of my inspiration for short hair on my Pinterest. I'm thinking a cross of Alexa Chung/Olivia Palermo, and really adoring Kiko Mizuhara's hair lately.

Have a lovely week ahead beautifuls! and Happy Tuesday!!

♥, Kathleen.

    

White out.

White Sway peplum top, Tan floral denim shorts via Buffalo Exchange, Brown c/o Swellmayde envelope clutch, Black/brown Zara buckle heels, Jewelry: Ivory c/o Beginning Boutique gold ring, Coach rings, Brandy Melville wishbone bracelet, F21 and vintage bracelets.

When I spotted this pretty peplum beauty from Sway the other day, I knew it was a winner.  I love the sleek lines and classy fit..and not to mention the white crisp color.  Decided to pair it off with floral denim I found at local Buffalo Exchange.  Been searching for a pair of floral denim -- love this one with a neutral hue perfect to go with anything in my closet.  And voila! ..a new addition to my overgrowing shoe collection..these Zara heels were calling my name.  I checked and they said my size was out in the sf store..but luckily the shoe gods were nice and I came back to find these in my exact size waiting for me.

Wanted to apologize for the hiatus lovelies, was trying to soak up this past week I had off before I start full-time in my new job!  It is surreal that I just graduated this past Monday..no longer needing to worry about finals or early morning lectures.  Off to be a working girl!  Hope you lovelies have a sweet week ahead!

♥, Kathleen.
