A Dazzaling Holiday

                  Happy first day of winter! How have you all been? I'm so sorry for failing to blog, but I am the laziest and biggest procrastinator in the world; thus it has come to the point where I skipped a full season before I updated this blog. Regardless welcome back! Let's move on to what you really are here for!


Gold Sequin Long Sleeve Bodycon Dress by Xenia.

                            I've always wanted a sequin holiday glam dress so when I saw this on [UsTrendy.com] I knew I had to get it! This dress is made completely of gold sequins and has shoulder-pads that comes with it to be more well-fitted on the body frame. This dress also features a low back cut that allows the dress to be

different from your average simplistic sequin dresses. It's flirty and classy at the same time. 

                          I'm not the tallest person in the world at 5'0 so the dress hits me a little above my knees, but I believe on anyone taller than me this dress will be rather shorter and hit at mid thighs. I have included photos of the model wearing it from UsTrendy's website and as you can see it hits the model at thigh length.

Here is a layout of how I chose to wear the outfit! I styled the dress with minimal jewelry as the dress already stands out on it's own with much glam! I wanted to include red nail-polish layered on with additional gold accents to complete the holiday look :)

Le Beach & Outfit

                    Bring you another blog post... at 1:30 A.M. I've seriously got some loose screws in my head for "elegantly" procrastinating, and failing to become productive in life. I have a tendency live like a sack of potatoes, and all I do is ...nothing. It's time to finally blog about my fun time at the beach about exactly 1 week ago :) It takes a while, but everyone did say it's the effort and the ability to finish that counts not how fast you get there [I will just keep telling myself that ;)].


                   My friend, her brother, and I we've planned to visit the famous Acai bowl location called Banzai Bowl after seeing so many people, literally SO MANY, take photos and rave about it so of course what better way to spend our weekends than to go eat? We did just that and stopped for a few minutes at the beach of course to enjoy the scenery and take a break to enjoy what we can of Summer Break.

                        We ordered by cell phone prior to going to Banzai Bowl because we were afraid of waiting. Because we ordered by phone we got our order pretty quickly and had to wait only 6 minutes and they came out in pretty large cups with lots of fresh fruits and granola on top! I can say this was a new experience for me and I couldn't get quite used to it. I ordered a small Maui Sunrise! Very filling if that's what you indeed are looking for!

                         I wouldn't want to leave this blog post without showing you photos of the beautiful view/scenery.

Moving onto my outfit :)

Shorts- DIY

                          Because I can't swim and also because I'd like to believe that I am a nun, I choose to be all covered up with a few exceptions of skin showing. In my defense we were only staying for 2 hours, and so I wanted to dress up for the beach! I wore thin clothing so that the heat would not affect me too much! I purchased this beautiful crochet and floral kimono + my silver bracelet just a few days in advance just for this beach outfit! I braided 4 strands of braids into my hair, and had it left wavy for a beach inspired hairdo. As for the hat not only did it match perfectly with my kimono but it added for some protection against the blazing sun! To finish off the look I wore some brown bohemian sandles :)

                    This finishes up my beach day and what I wore to the beach :) I will be going back to the beach in 2 days and I can't wait to show you what I'll be wearing until then! You'll probably read that blog post a million years because that's probably when I might stop procrastinating!

Polar Opposite

               I've happened to realize the only time that blogging appealed to me is at late nights (today being an exception). Everyone always talks about having 2 A.M. thoughts; but, in all honesty, for me my 2 AM thoughts consist of wanting to clean up my room and doing "chores" to find a way to become productive... that and my weird cravings for spicy foods at night (don't ask). I believe it's time that you all need to know a secret about me. I really prefer wearing casual and comfortable clothing at all costs, with only a few occasions where I want to dress up. Let's face it, being girly all the time is so boring and it's always fun to experiment with the polar opposite of the spectrum.

                    There's honestly something appealing to me about wearing flannels regular t-shirts, and I would wear it all day if I could. Unfortunately, this story dies short, I had only owned 2 flannels. "Had" because I just added a new baby to my not-really-a-collection of flannels. Flannels are essential closet must-haves for me, because I can literally pair it over any casual top and throw on any denim bottoms and walk out the door. So that's exactly what I did. I paired my light washed green and gray flannel over a casual graphic tee. To finish off the look I added a pair of ripped denim shorts and a pair of black caged booties, and I accessories with silver and black metal pieces.

                     For these outfits I wanted to keep the brand's original concept of the "Street Look". Skeptiks is a brand of affordable aesthetic clothing (under 20$) that so kindly e-mailed me asking me to style their pieces and of course I found no reason not to. I received a navy blue crop top with their logo on it, and the Los Angeles Black Tank. I wanted to give the outfits a little more edginess by pairing them with gold heavy pieces. I did this by adding gold chained necklaces and bracelets to both outfits. As for the bottoms, I paired them with more casual items to allow for these street looks to be transformed into something anyone can wear. The same lace shoes are paired with both outfits as I wanted these two outfits to have a similar best-friends type of attire.

                 

  

                 

LookbookStore Collaboration Part 2

To end the final collaboration looks with Lookbookstore of course I had to blog and tell you how I went about and styled their clothing! 

Kimono & Flats @CharlotteRusse

Bag @Forever21

Shorts @Lookbookstore

Necklaces @Shantiquedesigns

Growing Roses~

                  These shorts, although they are your average high waisted denim jean shorts, is very unique in comparison to the many shorts I already own. I love how the denim is cutely made with the cuffed bottoms to give more of an old-school vintage look; however, in contrast the printed white roses adds a touch of girlyness. The fit of these shorts also reminds me of AA high waisted shorts that you can get for triple the price of these affordable pair! These shorts and I are in love at first sight (honestly).

                  I styled the shorts with this beautiful darker floral kimono that also has rose printed designs on it that you can find on Charlotte Russe! I just love how the roses on the kimono and the roses on the shorts are an incidental similar print. To pair off the neon colors of the kimono I added a simple black halter top from Brandy Melville to complete the entire fit. I went with simpler accessories, as the kimono and shorts paired together already has a lot of patterns going on. I did not want to distract away from the outfit's main focal point, the roses.

Floral Obsession

                   I'm pretty sure you already know by know that I may be a little, okay a lot, obsessed with florals. I didn't know it was truly an addiction until one of my instagram friends told me something along the lines, "you're always in florals babe." I realized she was right and while scrolling on my instagram page I felt like a floral crack addict with no control. Florals Florals Florals everywhere, as if to flaunt my addiction. With every new purchase it appears to always be floral in some form or manner. Lookbookstore simply fed my addiction, but honestly, how can I say no to such a beautiful shade of kimono? The florals on this kimono definitely remind me of an actual Japanese kimono print. I love the subdue pink and light green combination. The length of this kimono is longer so it pairs amazingly well with shorts and a crop top, which I did here with my Iwearsin signature v-cut crop & my diy high waited shorts. Can you blame me really? It's an actual sin not to purchase this kimono ;) Once a floral addict always a floral addict, I added the floral crown because I'm a floral obsessed addict.

            I hope I didn't scare you away with my weird personality! But in any-case I realized my problem with florals and have vowed to myself that I will resist all urges to buy any more floral pieces. Let's just hope it doesn't turn out how everyone plans a new goal during "New Year Resolutions".

@cutehairbows Bow

                          I'm 100% sure my blog titles has nothing to do with my outfits, but I hope you understand the meaning behind title nonetheless! I created this outfit attempting to aim for a much darker look then my usual lights so here it is! :) I love this graphic moon top so much and can't seem but swoon at how cute the small neon stars are! I don't often purchase many graphic tops anymore, as I've come to realize I don't wear them much at all, but this top will surely be one that I will wear! I paired this top with some black items such as my bag, lace shoes, wallet, and a darker galaxy blue hair bow! I did attempt to pair darks and lights as I've mentioned in my previous 2 posts, and so I used a darker shade of denim high waisted shorts that I've actually created myself! How do you feel about this outfit? Personally I find it perfect for a walk in the park or for a casual hangout with friends :)

LookbookStore Collaboration! Sunshine OOTD

                   One of the cutest stores Lookbookstore allowed me to collaborate with them and feature their pieces on my Instagram! Of course I had to blog and share with you on how much I love these pieces, because I sincerely do!

                    Here I styled their a cross cropped top & their beautiful daisy shorts! I actually have a dress in this print as well, but the dress is 2 shades lighter than my shorts! Can we discuss how much I may be in love with my new shorts? I love the print because it is one of my favorite flowers: daisies! The little pom pom detailing on the the bottom brings the shorts to another level of cuteness! As for safer measures the band is made of elastic, so do not fear in case you are uncertain of what size you might be! However, on the opposite spectrum, if these are too small you can easily hand sew the elastic in one inch to fit your needs! As for my crop top, I do suggest ordering a size up for the crop top as the size I choose US Size 2. The top was slightly snugly on me, but very flattering on once I managed to wear the top on :P ! I added on my favorite Forever21 hodded cardigan and a pair of basic brown sandles & a hat for a beachy type of inspired outfit. I'm not really sure if it worked as I'm pretty sure no one would actually wear too many bracelets to the beach :P, but it's the effort that counts right? I would hope so <3

Dreaming of Creams

                               Is it bad that I'm always wearing only darks and lights? My close friend Amy was giving me fashion advice on how I should learn to play with my outfits and choose to wear them with a combination of both darks and lights. I've been successfully learning to do so due to her advice and it's not as hard as I imagine it would be! In any case, a bad habit will remain a bad habit and I still have a love and obsession for all creams-neutral clothing. Here are some of my favorite looks with a mostly all neutrals- creams! :)

Thrifted Shorts & Bag

                   I love how simple and minimalist this outfit is! The simple layered necklaces adds the perfect final touches to any basic outfit! Sometimes when life gives you lemons, make the best out of them! I believe every closet has a few basic pieces that can easily be pulled together for the perfect look ;)

Fashion Q top & skirt

Charlotte Russe Sandles

Ebay Coin Necklace 

@shantiquedesigns Smaller Sun Necklace

@bellelavie_xo Bralette

                      I was attempting to go for a bohemian style type of outfit! I am obsessed with bohemian cream colors and statement necklaces, and hopefully this outfit was a good representation of what I was attempting to aim for! Every detailing of this outfit is majority creams- nudes and in my opinion I think they do justice and flatters each other!

Pacsun Skort

Forever21 Necklace

                           This outfit is posted on my Instagram a LONG time ago, but I never managed to have the time to post an individual blog post for it! Well now here it is posted along with all of my creams! :) I scored this beautiful skort from Pacsun and couldn't be happier about how flattering and cute it is!

                             One of my favorite outfit layouts that I have not yet had the time to wear! I personally love how the creams and lace really compliments each other! But can we first discuss how cute and perfect this crop top is from @iwearsin?! It's simply so beautiful and is such an amazing cute piece that I'm sure I will wear to death. 

                             You've finally reached the end of my Dreaming in Creams blog post! I really do love my all cream outfits and I hope these outfits will inspire your own all creams look :)
