new found loves

(hm jean shirt, penny sofou velvet heels, marc jacobs button shirt) 

ive been trying to find a jean shirt universal for everything, and i think ive found it. its super soft, comfortable and the perfect shade of denim. utterly excited. 

and next items....since moving back to the bay area, ive found it extremely dangerous to step out. theres just too many cute places to spend all the little money i have. i have a crossroads store kiddy corner from my place and i find myself 'browsing' every week. anyway, got these two awesome items. love the heels and the shirt is a little big but i think it will find a place in my closet just fine. 

now thats a party

(forever21 top,mossimo polka skirt, urban outfitter shoes)

best friend had her bridal shower and im no connoisseur in bridal showers but i have to say it was the cutest thing ever :) a bunch of us helped prep and we had a blast (definitely made the best out of 104 degree weather). best bridal shower! anyway, thought this was such a tasteful event i had to post some pictures and congratulate my besties :) everyone was dressed so cute too. 

cruuiiisssinnn'

(forever21 shorts, dresses, tops and pale pink/lavendar ring (wow thats a lot of forever21), hm pale pink clutch,ninewest suede heels, dkny wedges, lucky striped sandals, crossroads ring) 

So after doing this little cruise photo diary i realized how much forever21 clothes i buy. its quite ridiculous, so i now have told myself i am going branch out.....really bad. my boyfriend and i went to cabo & putero vallerta and it was absolutely awesome, we ate, snorkeled, ate, swam, ate, boozed it up a little, and ate again....and oh did i mention we ate?!?! 

also i wanted to apologize for my huge pause in blog posts...been busy moving back to the bay area and trying to settle in. i am starting school at fidm sf and have postponed my career for now in interior design. :( exciting to be back in the bay and more posts to come! let me know if you guys have any thoughts, would love to hear anything. 

poolside

(white metropark dress,hm blazer,jimmy choo for hm leopard heels, under one sky purse nordstrom, dads watch, jade from mom, vintage earrings, and various other jewelery)

thank you everyone for such nice comments, i love hearing feedback on everything and anything. i got this groupon for metropark and i realized i had one day left to spend it...so i did a smash and grab in a total of about 15 minutes (all time record...i think). i guess the store was going out of business so i HAD to spend it and found this cute little dress. i love the lining, subtle pattern, and there's a zipper on the back too. i always forget i have these shoes too because i keep it in the cute little shoe bag (love re-discovering items such as these). thats it for now! ......by the way, someone commented that i never smile in the photos so i tried harder this time to succeed at a smiley picture....they just never look good to me. 

mary poppins-ish

(hm hat, forever21 dress & lace top, lucky sandals, louis vuitton purse)


i've been hibernating for about a week and a half since i got my wisdom teeth taken out. the recovery was horrible and i hope none of you have to go through what i had to go through. anyway i apologize for taking forever to do a post. decided to wear a lace shirt over this maxi dress, it seemed too simple to me so i wanted to spice it up. after looking at these photos, it totally reminded me of mary poppins! the purse was given to me as a gift from my boyfriend about two years ago. i love the white for summer. also, i bought the strap separately for a pretty penny at the lv store, but i think it was worth it. 

bijou

(mossimo jacket,hm ruffle top,forever21 skirt, dkny platform wedges,urban outfitters purse)

these pictures were taken in downtown hayward,ca (right by this awesome cute lounge we go to sometimes called bijou). we were about to meet up my parents to eat dinner and it was a nice sunny day, so we decided to leave a little earlier to get some happy hour drinks! although i felt like a giant in these shoes, they were majorly comfortable and i could have worn them all day with no complaints......not one!

fillmore

(hm dress,black tube dress underneath,love culture scarf,boutique9  heels)

alex and i went out in sf to this cute place called fresca (awesome ceviche...go there) on fillmore. i love this area, its got cute little boutiques and great spots to walk around and theres a marc by marc jacobs up the street :) anyway i wanted to do a couple of shots of this outfit since the street is just so darn cute. the dress is super summer and bright (i call it the highlighter dress) so i wanted to make it more of a night outfit by adding the heels and scarf. 

good ol pelton center

(forever21 top, shorts & lace shorts, urban outfitters leather purse,lucky striped sandals, hm sunglasses and ring)

I went home to san leandro, ca this weekend for father's day and had to pick up a skirt i had in the dry cleaners for months! decided to take some pictures here at good ol' pelton center. my friends and i have many memories here so i had to honor my hometown. anyway this outfit was very casual and comfy which is what i usually like to go for. i'm lovin the peek-a-boo lace shorts, you'll be seeing this more throughout the summer...mark my words!! 

oh! and happy fathers day to all the awesome dads and happy birthday to my sister stella! :) 

umm yes please!!

  

i am just in love with all these sandals, had to share my sandal wishlist for the summer. im particularly in love with the seafoam blueish color, its so fresh! arent they adorable?!

so ready for summer to arrive

(mossimo jacket, hm knit sweater and fringe purse,charlotte russe shorts,forever21 chain necklace and sunglasses, miss sixty heels)

i wore this outfit in hopes the weather would act its season since it's june and all, that way i could have done away with the tights and the jacket and all the winter items. but i feel like the jacket ended up helping me complete the outfit. i was trying to play around with textures in a subtle way...from the knit sweater to the chain necklace and the leather. let me know what you guys think! (by the way, i absolutely adore these shoes, they're super comfortable and own a hint of clog-like properties...in love!)
