Mixer (+ OASAP Giveaway)

mixer9

Florals, stripes, geometrics, chevron, polka dots, abstracts, paisley, embroidery, sequins and embellishments has dominated my closet for what feels like forever so you can imagine the thrill when I realized how awesome mixing prints and patterns together no longer clashes. Well, this “trend” is nothing new, but there’s always something new and refreshing every time (see them again here, here, here, here, and here).

Adding to the mix are my current favorite accessories, this alpine gold necklace from Olive + Piper and this inexpensive-but-pretty-awesome-aviators. I have been looking for blue/purple aviators and can’t believe I found them from H&M for $7. Score!

I was pretty thrilled over the weekend because we have another new lens to play with and I’m madly in love (helloooo ultra wide angles). Nate is dipping his feet more into photography and I am so proud of him, and of course offered myself to be his guinea pig for photos anytime he needs them (haha). Well, I hope your weekend was an eventful one and you’re all rested up for another week of life. xoxo

Gone are the days of bold prints and bright colors (well, perhaps just for today) because sometimes the biggest statement is the most subtle of them all. As much I love a colorful spring, I can’t resist a monotone look that’s romantic and cozy like this chiffon lace skirt, sheer top and over-sized knit combination. It’s one of those outfits where I can feel completely comfortable yet feminine at the same time.

I hope your week is going well so far! I have been working 12-14 hours daily and couldn’t believe my Caribbean cruise is just around the corner. I’m exhausted but beyond excited for some much needed R&R and believe it or not, I actually really look forward to the packing part. I just need help with learning how to pack everything in a tiny suitcase!

It was such an honor to be apart of the LookMazing x Macy’s Spring into Style event last Thursday in San Francisco. I had such an awesome time putting together outfits for customers, hanging with my fellow stylist bloggers Alexandra of SFShopGirl, Kathleen of KatWalkSF, the Lookmazing team and met some really amazing people. Thank you so much to those who came out to support. I had a wonderful time and I hope you all did as well! Thanks again Macy’s and LookMazing for such a fabulous, fun, and organized event! xo

This crop sweater, with it’s cobalt blue tone and soft knit texture has been a wardrobe favorite of mine. I love how it can liven up a dull outfit yet still add casual elements to a standout piece like these yellow high waisted trousers. I love wearing these two colors together (hello color-blocking!)! It was one of those days where Nate wouldn’t have to play “Where’s Waldo” with me since he always claim he can’t find me in a crowd. :)

No matter what trend I venture off with, there’s always a few key pieces that have captured my heart: A fun skirt and a cool crop top. So naturally when I saw this quilted skater skirt and electric blue crop sweater, I knew they would be coming home with me.

It’s everything I adore in an outfit…the skirt is edgy and fun, while the sweater is cozy, chic, and has a peek of sex appeal. The feminine heel’s nude front elongates my legs, making a quiet yet unique statement with the black t-straps and brown backings…Adding to the mix is my latest favorite bag that has an attitude all of her own! If I would have to describe my style with one outfit, it would definitely be this! Fun, feminine and perhaps with a bit of attitude. :)

What’s your signature style or do you have a look you are always drawn to?
