Black Dahlia

I will admit, that I was very intimidated to wear  leather shorts…actually leather anything! I always felt like if I didn’t wear them correctly I was going to look like a beat up biker babe or some crazy dominatrix person. The only kind of leather I would attempt to wear was a leather jacket or vest until my friend Angela convinced me to go out and buy some faux leather shorts.

 That said, I practically lived in these leather shorts this summer and will continue to over use them this fall and winter.  Not only are they trendy, they can be dressed up or down which is extremely important for a person like me who is always on the go.

Since then, I’ve been paring these shorts with everything! Dressed up with heels and blazer and dressed down with tee shirts and flats. In my advice, I suggest you keep it minimal with one pop of color  in your top or a bold necklace or even bold lips. I kept this outfit simple with nude heels and a bold lip.

For this look I decided to do a semi monochromatic look with a twist of camo and leather. It is getting warmer here in Los Angeles so this might be one of the few more times I can wear this jacket.

 Since it is getting warmer, you will start seeing me put my air up in a bun. This is the easiest and fastest way to complete any outfit. It can also give you the opportunity to accessorize some bold earrings or necklace. I decided to go with a spiked necklace from H&M to spice it up.

Down town Los Angeles is one of my favorite places to do some bargain shopping. There are several Lola Shoetique’s in LA which is where I buy most of my heels. These in particular have to be one of my favorites at the moment because they’re unique and similar to the JC’s. I was also lucky enough to find this jacket in down town at a great price.

My outfit was to compliment some of my favorite gals from Instagram to do a fun collaboration. Arleene decided to go with the purples, Melanee killed it in the nudes, and Lyndsey did cute pops of yellow. Please make sure to check out their fabulous blogs and Instagrams.

 Summer in LA is extremely hot. For this look I went for a bold all black ensemble. Wearing a tank is super comfortable and adding the dinner jacket brings the look together.

 

 I am a fan of minimalism when it comes to getting dressed. As you can tell by this outfit, there is not a lot of things going on but each piece is an essential in my wardrobe.

 Living in beautiful Los Angeles we are exposed to such much beautiful art. I got the chance to pose next to these Mexican American murals. Aren’t they amazing?
