Valentine's Day Promo with @Zaful

Can you believe it? We are halfway done with January and you know what that means... the month of love is slowly approaching!

Let's get this straight. Valentine's Day is the cheesiest holiday of the year. I stand by this because you see people giving bouquets of flowers and bundles of balloons to their signifiant other particularly just on Feb. 14. I believe that when you truly love someone, Valentine's day shouldn't just be celebrated on the national holiday; but it should be celebrated everyday. Anyone else agree with that?

I've partnered up with @Zaful to bring you some outfit ideas for your date night this year. Zaful is having a valentine's sale to make your shopping easier. I've picked 2 of my personal faves below. Check them out!

Front Pockets Draped Coat - Pink M

$28.82

This coat is screaming my name! Pink is my favorite color so you know I had to add this to my wishlist. This beauty will look amazing with over the knee boots, high waist jeans, and a plunge neck bodysuit. You can buy this coat here. Not quite your style? Check out Zaful's valentine's sale 2018.

Floral Long Sleeve Linen Blouse Dress - Floral

$19.99

Feminine florals are the perfect vibe this Valentine's Day. This floral dress will look classy with loafers and a mini clutch. Linen dresses may seem too casual for some of us but when you're not the type to dress up often, they come in handy saving the day. Shop the valentine's day special and this dress here. 

See you on my next post!

New year, new me

Happy New Year! 

Surprise, surprise... I went blonde! I've always planned to go lighter with my hair a couple years ago but I was unable to since my hair had been so heavily damaged from highlights. The wait was definitely worth it because my stylist, Rosie @ Ceci Studio took me from black to blonde in one sitting. It was a very long day but I love how she took her time and didn't rush the entire process. I definitely recommend her if you're ready for a new do!  Check out her Instagram @_rosiegold. Book Rosie here! 

2018 is the year I choose to be bold; fierce; and unapologetically myself. I've always played it safe and that led me to suppressing my inner self from revealing to the world who I genuinely am. Having been brought up from a very conservative family, my choice of clothing always had to reflect on modesty. I always felt embarrassed when I wore short skirts or had my tops too low because I would be labeled as "cheap" or "showy." I believe that an article of clothing shouldn't determine what type a person is just by the way he/she dresses. Fashion has always been one to break boundary norms and that's what I love about it. So many people find happiness and self expression through various styles. I know I do. 

A penny for your thoughts; We will never truly live if we can't fully express who we are as human beings. Am I right or am I right?  

Since Socal weather has been gloomy and blue lately, I've been loving my cozy cardigan from @Zaful. When Rob and I shot this look in Beverly Hills last week, the temps were low 60s but I stayed snug in this gray cardigan. I'm impressed with the materials they used to make this sweater because it is heavy! Not too heavy, but its weighted enough to make you warm and those are my favorite type of cardigans. This cardigan also comes in 3 colors and is priced at $22.66. I'm so in love with my gray one I'll probably buy the other 2 colors as well haha! You can purchase this sweater here. 

I am so blessed to be able to work with Zaful again this year! A BIG thank you to Cara and her team for their continued support with my blog. Love you guys <3


See you on my next post!
