Melrose is my go to for photos.. I love it for the fashion, but I also love it for the people watching, the bars, and the endless photo opportunities! This pink wall (Paul smith store) has become such a photo backdrop.  NGL, when I thought about what to wear, I thought "what would look great against the pink wall" hahaha. I'm so terrible. I think the dress pops really well against the pink though, don't you agree?! I bought this dress in Japan at the Bershka store. I thought it was an odd name for a store in Japan, but I later found out that it was a european brand. I liked the store, they had some great summer clothing. I will have to revisit it while I'm in Europe next month. I absolutely can't wait to do some shopping in all the european stores that are not available in the U.S. Are there any that you guys suggest? XO

70's Chella Vibes

In honor of weekend 2 of Coachella, here are a few pics from the previous weekend.  I know everyone is spamming IG and all other social media with Chella this and Chella that, but I just can't help myself. This is my favorite outfit that I wore. I bought the top randomly while last minute shopping right before the festival with my boyfriend at American Rag. It was the only one of it's kind, and although it was gently used and had a small hole, I still shelled out the bucks for it. It was a beautiful vintage piece, that worked great for Coachella. The look screams 70's meets 2015 in my opinion. It was simple, comfortable and perfect for the desert heat. XO

Chella, the good, the bad..

This year my Coachella weekend was so different than all the other times I've been. It had it's good moments and its bad. In the past, I've rented a house with friends, but this year we decided to rent hotel rooms. I stayed at the Saguaro, a beautiful rainbow colored hotel. I loved the different colored walls it offered and the simple vibrancy of it all. I have to say, it's a blogger worthy hotel for sure! This year I also attended The Neon Carnival party for the first time, and it was so much fun! Who doesn't love FREE everything, right? It is hands down the best party of Coachella.  As far as negatives go, I was a bit disappointed that I did not get to attend any blogger or fashion parties, and because the hotel was rather far from Coachella, it was more difficult to coordinate with a big group and spend more time on the festival grounds. Plus Drake sucked live; I like his songs but ughh come on, could he have been any more boring. XO

Sexy but Cute

As my blog begins to grow, I'm more and more conscious of my look. I know that sounds ridiculous, because you should always be yourself. I just feel that through my photos, I've categorized myself as cute. I love being cute, but sometimes you just wanna be sexy. At my age (almost 29) I want to be seen as a woman, not as a girl. I love that my energy exudes youth, and I think that is why so many think of me as younger than I really am. I felt like in these photos, I was able to translate my cutesy energy but still feel sexy. What do you guys think? XO

Festival Inspired

Who are you guys looking forward to seeing at Coachella? After looking over the lineup the other night, I realized there are many artist I'm unfamiliar with. Is there anyone I must check out? I've always been a fan of Florence + The Machine, She has such an amazing voice and she's so great live! I've actually never seen The Weekend live, and I love him so I'm thinking that is a must for me. In all my past years at Coachella, I spent a lot of time at the Sahara tent. I'm kinda over the EDM scene, so I'm happy to expand my music horizons this festival season! Help me, guide me, tell me what I must check out!!! 

On a side note, This look was again festival inspired! I've been living in these vintage Levi shorts. I have to give a BIG Shoutout to my friend Jazelle! She is a very talented Makeup Artist and did all my makeup in this look. She helped out a bunch with this shoot!! Love her!!! Check out her stuff @jazelle_1 on Instagram. XO

Coachella Lookbook Part 2

Coachella this, Coachella that, basically this week it's all about Coachella. Even though it's still a week away, it's all I can think about. I still don't know what I'm wearing, what parties I'm going to and where I'm staying. There really isn't much planned or set in stone for me this year. I'm just going with the flow. I really want to attend Neon Carnival this year, I've never been and while it is super exclusive, I'm still trying to figure out how to get myself an invite. As a blogger, the first weekend of Coachella is a very important networking site. The question is how do I network, if I can't get myself invited to these events.
