Vibrant jewels.

Teal lace top via Crossroads Trading, Green c/o Mimi Boutique collar necklace, Red c/o Filthy Magic floral skater skirt, Orange Calvin Klein sandal heels, Purple c/o Mimi Boutique Cassie clutch.

One trend I find the most fun and interesting is color blocking -- here I decided to play around with a mix of different vibrant jewel tone colors: purple, orange, red, and green.  With fashion I always try to have fun, kind of like a painting putting all the pieces, colors, silhouettes together.  This outfit I styled probably shows how much I love art (I hope to get back into it soon) -- I used to love doing artwork with pastels or charcoal.  

With color blocking, I decided to pair this beautiful purple clutch from Mimi Boutique with this out of this world lovely skirt from Filthy Magic.  To top it off (literally haha) I paired it with this amazing lace teal top via Crossroads Trading.  And no outfit is complete without the perfect pair of shoes -- these Calvin Klein orange sandal heels.

Hope you lovelies have an amazing weekend ahead! Have fun in the sun (if it's sunny where you are) or just chillax.. cheers to the freakin' weekend ;).

Floral glam.

Head to toe c/o Charlotte Russe: Black bodycon dress (similar here, another fave here), Black/silver necklace (similar style here), Grey floral wallet/wristlet (love this style here), Tan patent suede platform heels (similar here).

Second part to the outfit series with Charlotte Russe, they seriously have an amazing collection of dresses -- perfect for a girls night out.  This second outfit was styled as an edgy party glam look.  Again, featuring photography by amazing Ryan Chua.  I love this dress because it not only includes a cool floral pattern but also mesh top with polka dots.  I decided to overlay it with this pretty black/silver necklace and accessorized with a cute floral grey wristlet (night out is never complete without one to hold your phone, ID, essentials).  To top it off, added for extra height these pretty patent suede heels.

How have you lovelies been? This week has been another cray one, or more of I'm so tired easily nowadays! As in I'm getting old and sleeping fairly early, and daylight saving time this Sunday does not help! This week heading to a Passion Pit concert, collaborating on a fun project this weekend, and might have a girls night out (may take this dress out) ;).

Keep inspiring lovelies, have an amazing rest of your week!

I had the pleasure of collaborating with such a fun and lovely brand, Charlotte Russe, in a two part series -- the first here, a girly sweet outfit, shot by super talented and sweetest ever, Ryan Chua.  I decided for a flirty fun outfit, a staple piece would be the skater skirt.  I found this amazing floral burnout skirt with a pretty light pink fabric peeking through underneath. To add to the sweetness factor, tucked in a lace top.  For accessories, I had fun mixing pink and golds with this cute 'love' bracelet.  And for shoes, added these gorgeous suede patent mixed heels.

I hope you lovelies have been doing well!  I've seriously missed you all, again apologize about the hiatus, this month has been crazy busy, so much has happened! In addition to work keeping me busy, I was able to have two nice mini vacations, first LA then following Texas.  Visit my Instagram for all the photos, but to sum it up here are a few snapshots:

Btw, cannot believe it's already March!  Where did time fly?!  I still remember celebrating the New Year.  Well, I guess what they say is right -- time flies, when you're having fun ;).  Have an amazing weekend ahead Beautifuls!  TGIF and Happy Friday!!! 

Keep inspiring :).

Peplum paisley.

Black c/o GUESS peplum dress, White c/o GUESS rhinestone necklace, Arm candy: Coral c/o JewelMint Sun Stone bracelet, ASOS spike bracelet, Gold c/o Mimi Boutique lion bracelet, Black and gold rings via Crossroads Trading, Nude Nasty Gal stud clutch, Orange Calvin Klein sandal heels.

I decided it'd be a fun post to give inspiration of what to wear for Valentine's Day coming up -- this is part one, this version I'd call darker and sexier rather than sweet and dainty (which will be part two of this series).  Leave it to GUESS to make the perfect blend of classy, sexy and chic in this dress with the peplum and paisley pattern.  Not only is it sheer in front but all on the back.  I decided to pair it with colorful accessories: white rhinestones w/ the pretty bib GUESS necklace.  This pretty JewelMint coral stone bracelet was the perfect pop of color, along with my Calvin Klein heels.  View this outfit also on my Chictopia account here.

Cannot believe it's already February!  Where did time fly again?!  Hope you lovelies have an amazing month ahead.  This past month was a very eventful one starting off the new year, helped to co-host a Chictopia shopping party in SF, modeled/styled Alyssa Nicole's Spring '13 collection, had my first time for high tea at the Rotunda, and among other things on my instagram.

Have an amazing week ahead Beautifuls!  Keep inspiring!
