Pasadena Flea Market

Polka dots are a fun and timeless trend to wear. I decided to pick out this dress from G stage in small polka dot print because of my body frame. The smaller your body frame is, the more you might be able to get away with wearing big polka dots. If you are not comfortable wearing a full polka dot dress, an alternative is to have fun accessorizing a scarf, purse, flats, etc.

I decided to accessories this vintage looking belt to make my waist look smaller and to add some character to the outfit. Can we please just focus for a second on this beautiful Hamsa necklace I picked up at the Rose Bowl Pasadena Flea Market from Jewelry Holics booth. Please make sure to check out their instagram and website for amazing jewelry pieces.


Not only was it my first time going to the Pasadena Flea Market, I was very excited to finally meet Melanee. I also had the pleasure of meeting local photographer Dennis from Dennis Renaissance  . It was nice getting to know more local bloggers.
 I love to bargain shop and I picked up some really cute items from different booths for a steal. If you haven’t been to the Pasadena Flea Market, I highly suggest it. Everyone is friendly, the culture is beautiful and you might just spot someone famous (we saw Kat Von D).

Tough Guys Wear Floral


 He’s Wearing
M65 Field Jacket: Heritage
Spread Collar Dress Shirt:H&M:
Floral Tie: BDG
Watch: Timex
Jeans: 21Men
Wingtips: Steve Madden


I believe Summer is the time of year to stay basic . For this look I went with a statement floral tie that I love  from BDG. I paired this look with some white jeans which is the one item all men need in their wardrobe for the Summer.
This vintage looking M65 jacket that I use as a blazer at times is a light weight material and great for layered looks. The weather is sometimes unpredictable in LA so it is always good to carry around a jacket.
I have a sick obsession with statement shoes. These olive green Steve Madden Wingtips are one of my favorites at the moment. I feel like when men shop for a shoe we should think about how we can implement the shoes into several outfits. Make sure your wardrobe coexists with the shoe your going to buy.
As we continue to enjoy this L.A Summer, I hope you are enjoying yours.

Classic Baroque


She's Wearing
Baroque Print Dress: H&M (Similar Here)
Teal Suede Heels: Zara (Similar Here)
Gold Earrings: Forever 21 (Similar Here)
Cheetah Bangle: Vintage (Similar Here) 
Baroque fashion is a popular trend that can be traced back to the 16th century. The European style can easily be dressed up or down. In my opinion, the way to wear baroque is by keeping your look simple, balanced, and modern.

I bought this dress from H&M a while ago but couldn’t decide how I wanted to wear it. I felt it was a tricky statement piece to wear and I knew I wanted to look sophisticated. I decided to keep it feminine by pairing these Zara teal heels as my pop of color. 
So as you all may know by now, Zara had their annual sale and I bought these beautiful suede heels for a great price. These are definitely a great color to add to any black and white outfit or any outfit you really want to add some color to. I’m going to have fun styling these babies this summer.

Thank you for stopping by!

Wild Flowers

Floral Kimono: DTLA (Exact Here)
White Gladiator Sandals: Rhapsodielle (Similar Here)
White Belt: H&M (Similar Here)
Gold Necklace: Cotton On (similar Here)
 
Floral has to be my favorite print of all time because it can be used all year round, especially during the Summer. It’s a great way to accessorize a simple outfit or can be the focal point. 
Gladiator sandal heels are the talk of the Summer, these were a lucky find at a local boutique. I also have these in black because they are conformable and very trendy.
A lot of our blogger crushes are starting to show their versatility using floral prints. It can be paired with stripes, pop of colors, or denims. We really feel that it gives a refreshed and polished Summer feel to any outfit. Kimonos are very fun to throw on over a dress, shorts and a tee, or jeans. I will probably live in this Kimono during this hot Summer.

**************
We decided to team up with Canadian style duo Katherine from ourMode to bring you all a floral collaboration. We love how Katherine paired stripes with the beautiful top and the way she used pink as pop of color. For her outfit details, please make sure to check out their website.
