Yellow + Black + White

on March 25, 2014 | in Fashion, OUTFITS

One of my favorite combinations is black, white and yellow. I went shopping this weekend – surprised? Everyone needs to visit Zara from time to time, you know, for good measure. If you read my blog you know I have a thing for color, although I don’t wear it all the time but I”m always trying. Lately, my rule is that I can’t purchase anything new that’s black. This piece make me feel like a million bucks and it’s all about the color. I highly recommend it for anyone.

Zara also had a couple things that caught my eye like these high-waisted coated white jeans. They have a really nice fit and I’ve been needed white jeans and high-waisted jeans to wear with my crop tops. I tried to return these boots but ended up bringing them in the dressing room and loving them with everyone – whoops! They are on sale in stores if you hurry, but these are another great option.

There’s a few more pieces I can’t wait to share with you – stay tuned very soon loves! XX

I’m excited to share that I was chosen to be on of Neiman Marcus’ On The Cusp style bloggers.

What this means is three bloggers have been chosen to style a spring look from the Cusp section at Neiman Marcus. From March 20th-23rd our looks are on display and customers will vote on their favorite look! If you’re in Topenga Canyon, please stop in to join the fun!

Here are our final looks:

It’s an honor to be working with Neiman Marcus and there were so many beautiful options to chose from, it’s hard not to find an amazing spring look on their floor. My look (right) featured a clean black and white ensemble with a pastel backpack. The vest is a perforated leather from Alexander Wang that’s to die for. My look represents my style – chic with a touch of edge but all the while staying glamours. Shop the look below:

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend! X

Beautiful Your Life: Hask Hair Care

on March 16, 2014 | in BEAUTIFY YOUR LIFE

What are your hair problems? We all have them and while some of the problems are due to our genes (thanks mom and dad!), others are from the way treat our hair – sun, over processing, too much heat – sound familiar? Like anything else, our hair needs some TLC for it to shine.

I was asked to sample and review Hask Hair’s new line. I already knew I loved two things: they don’t test on animals (you’re talking to a serious animal lover here, I even feel guilty when I eat chicken, which is rare) and they are made here in the USA.

They’ve come out with a two new lines that are focused towards strengthening and smoothing – Keratin and Argan Oil collections.

If you hair is over processed from getting it highlighted too much or you’re out in the sun a lot (hello, Californians), the Keratin line is probably for you. Keratin Protein is the stuff your hair, skin and nails are made of and is supposed to revive, restore, calm and strengthen parched, frizzy locks—wiping out the effects of heat, humidity and over-styling and helping your hair look and feel its best. I haven’t used it long enough to see a huge dramatic change, but so far I like what I’ve seen.

Their second line is their Argan line. Also known as “liquid gold,” Argan Oil is a beauty secret in its native Morocco. Loaded with vitamins and antioxidants, Argan Oil from Morocco repairs, strengthens and moisturizes hair, all while taming frizz and adding shine. You can even use it on your hands during those dry days.

Both of these lines smell fantastic and their oils and conditioners really make your hair feel great after using. I have noticed smoother locks after using the Keratin shampoo and deep condition, without my hair being too heavy, which is really important.

To read more about the line, visit http://haskbeauty.com. They are carried at most retails stores like Wallgreens and RiteAid, so they’re easy for you to find locally.

Weekend Edit

on March 15, 2014 | in Fashion

one // two // three // four // five // six // seven // eight // nine // ten // eleven

I love EVERYTHING about this week’s edit and I’m so excited to share it with you. With SS14 collections hitting stores and the sun starting to warm up the east, the moods are changing and everyone is starting to think about their apparel choices in a whole new way. Can you feel it? I love how clothes can completely transform your mood – some say it’s fashion is superficial, I say fashion is the #GAMECHANGER. Change your clothes, change your mood. Welcome to spring, beauties!

There’s something about black and white, and there’s something even better about black + white with a pop of bold color.

Moto Distressed Jeans

on March 11, 2014 | in Fashion

This past weekend in Los Angeles was seriously ridiculous. I had to pinch myself, are we dreaming? It’s summer… in March. While I love the look of layers and chic coats, we’re dressing light and airy clothing as though it’s summer and I’m not complaining.

Lately, I’ve been on a distressed boyfriend jean kick. They’re so easy to throw on for the weekend with flats and a t-shirt then switch them up for a nighttime look with heels and a blouse. They’re the perfect weekend or day look, without having to try too hard. My tote has a beautiful story, one that I would talk your ear off in person if I had the chance to. It may be best if you just read it here. What’s great about this tote is that the accessories are interchangeable. That means each season (or every other weekend) you can switch out the accessory for a different look. Love! Hope everyone is off to a great week and excited for spring. I’m loving daylight savings which means summer is just around the corner!
