In Bloom

I think band tee shirts are really cool, especially when you like the band your representing. Nirvana has always been one of my favorite bands along with Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, 30 Seconds to Mars, and the list goes on and on. I added the blazer for a pop of print and kept is simple with the wine colored boots.

Crystal Evil Eye Ring: Jewelry Holics (Here)

I did some research on the evil eye and why people wore it as jewelry and then became obsessed with wearing them as a good luck charm. I spotted this ring at Jewelry Holic's booth at the Flea Market in Pasadena and they were nice enough to send me this ring of choice. They have amazing and trendy jewelry for very great prices.

I’ve always wanted some bad ass pair of Doc Martens but didn’t want to break the piggy bank.  These wine colored boots from Lola Shoetique are the closest thing and they happened to be my favorite color. I didn’t over spend but what I am going to do is over wear these boots for the fall and winter.

The one thing I do like about my style is that I am definitely not shy to break away from my chic girly looks and outfits. Once in a while it's fun to go for the different looks and trends.  Just go with it!

Black Sheep

         He’s Wearing
           Quilted Jacket: H&M
            Basic T-Shirt: H&M
            Black Chinos: 21MEN
         Oxfords: H&M

I have always been known as the “Black Sheep” of my family. This started because I was always very different, creative, artistic. Lately I have been using less color in my wardrobe, I have always been a fan of very minimal monochromatic looks.

I love this quilted jacket I found at H&M. I think its very versatile piece it has very nice structure, fit, and awesome details. With this type of jacket you could do many things I kept it simple just throwing it over a basic T-shirt. With Fall right around the corner its going to be a great addition to layered look.

 

There is something about a all black look that love. I think you could never do wrong with dark ensemble. it’s a very flattering color and just looks chic and elegant when done properly. Men need to own a pair of black oxfords to pair it with a killer black suit or less formal like I did with this look,

We have been enjoying the summer so much that we have took time off our blog. Slowly but surely were getting back to work and bringing you guys some more of our looks that we have been shooting. Were looking forward to fall much like everyone else we feel it’s a great time for great season for fashion.

Sporty Spice

Who would’ve known Mel C AKA Sporty Spice knew that the sporty trend was cool all along. I must say I was a big fan of the Spice Girls growing up but Sporty Spice was not my favorite because I didn’t like her outfits. My opinion has changed completely after seeing some amazing pieces on the runways for this Spring.

She’s Wearing
Varsity Tee-Shirt: Forever 21 (Here)
Grey Sweat Shorts: H&M (Similar Here)
Two-Tone Heels: Go Jane (Similar Here)
Statement Necklace: Forever 21 (similar Here)
Knuckle Rings: H&M (Here)

I am really excited that the “sporty chic” trend is going to be huge this Spring because it gives me a chance to step outside of my comfort zone. Looking for some athletic inspiration, I looked through some of my blogger crushes’ instagrams and websites. I noticed that in order to pull this look off you must dress it up.

A few pointers I have for channeling your sporty outfits is to first find an affordable and edgy top with number patches. Make sure that either the top you decide to wear  is fitted and the bottoms are loose or vice versa.  Mix feminine with tomboy by adding a statement necklace, earrings, or rings. I would’ve even added a leather baseball cap if I was going to be out in the sun. Have fun with it! I’m going to challenge myself this Spring to see how many different ways I can wear this shirt, keep a look out for that.

My Weekend in Paris Heels: Lola Shoetique (Here)
Spiked Necklace: H&M (Similar Here)

Cat Eye Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters (Similar Here)

Black Purse: H&M (Similar Here)

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.

Every Rose Has It's Thorn

Black Cat Eye Shades: DTLA (Similar Here: Here)
Black Bustier Top: G STage (Similar Here)  
Floral Print Blazer: Forever 21 (Similar Here)
Woven Skater Skirt: G Stage (Here)
Black Alexa Heels: Lola Shoetique (Here)
Gold Necklace: Forever 21 (Similar Here)

  I decided to pair this beautiful floral print blazer with a simple black and white ensemble. I have been contemplating on this bustier trend with a skirt because of my body type but I decided to just go with it. When I put outfits together, I experiment with prints and trends to match my body type.

  
I fell in love with these heels from Lola Shoetique because they are identical to the heels from Zara but at half the price. I decided keep it simple and accessorize a gold necklace to compliment the gold detail on the heel.

Did anyone notice my tattoos? There are always stories behind tattoos and I will share mine with you. Jesal and I have matching tattoos on our shoulder of our birthdays. The ink was not to prove anything to anyone, just to show each other our love for one another. I also have a green elephant on my right wrist to represent my grandmother who has already passed away.  She believed elephants bring good luck and she used to collect them and decorated her home with them. It is a beautiful memory I will always hold in my heart. 

Thank you for letting me share that with you all and I hope that you all liked my outfit as much as I did.

Accesories: Forever 21 (Here, Here, Here) 

For the second look, we decided to go for a more causal and fun look. Our personalities can sometimes shine though our outfits. Everyday it is something different and that is why we don’t have a specific style. Its important to have classic pieces in your wardrobe that you can dress up or down.

Mixing and matching pieces is something we do because it is important to budget ourselves. For example, all Jesal did was change his shoes and shirt to create a completely different appearance. Jesal decided to focus the look around his red loafers to go for a “nautical” look.

 Kim is not afraid to take risks with her outfits as shown in this ensemble. You’d be surprised of the outfits you could create with new purchases and clothing you already own. She decided to pair this bright pink fringe top with a trendy leather skater skirt for an edgy approach.

We hope you enjoyed these two looks from “A Love Story” . We would love to know which look was your favorite and why.

Cocktail Party Heels: Lola Shoetique (Here)

Ladies, I love these heels from Lola Shoetique! At first I was eying similar sandals by Jeffrey Campbell but at $125 they were a bit too pricey. These heels are comfortable and trendy at a fraction of the cost

 DON'T get me started on this fabulous dress from H&M, it looks better in person. My favorite part about this dress is that it was only $10! I decided to pair it with this bright red coral jacket for a pop of color and a gold necklace to give it a fierce vibe.

 

I wore this outfit on Saturday to go shopping with Jesal and then decided not to change my outfit for drinks with our beautiful friend, who is also a blogger, Terry. I like creating outfits that can transition from day to night because we get busy and its super convenient.

We hope you enjoyed this post!
