Happy Monday my loves!!

As majority of you may be recovering from Coachella, my current desk situation is feasting on 2 McChicken sandwiches with a side of medium fries. OM NOM NOM. I gave up McChickens for Lent so being able to munch on them now truly makes my heart warm :') 

My fave MUA on youtube, the one and only Desi Perkins, launched her second set of sunnies with @QuayAustralia. Desi is one of my go-to MUAS when I browse youtube for makeup inspo. Go check out her "Black Smokey Eye Tutorial" (The blending is for the makeup gods!!) You can find her as 'Desi Perkins' on youtube or @desiperkins on IG. You're welcome. 

If I had to choose between accessories or sunnies, I'd choose sunnies all day, everyday. Back when I was in hs, I'd be strutting down the hallways in AE's brown aviators. Those only lasted me a couple of years until the lenses got scratched up and they had to retire... RIP AE sunnies. </3

When I found out Desi x Quay launched these bad boys I HAD to get 2 of the 3 limited edition colors. I have both orange/black and olive green. I love wearing the orange to style up my outfit for a bold look, or I can go super casual wearing the olives for running errands. 

The sad news is that they are completely sold out of both colors so yellow is the only one in stock. But do not fear, If you couldn't cop any of the colors, they're launching a black to clear fade in May so hold your horses! 

I know everyone hates mondays but hey, at least there's only 4 more work days left then HELLOOOO WEEKEND! So chin up babe! <333

XOXO,

Classic Black

I'm throwing it back to my black hair days and looking back at these pictures make me really miss my natural hair color! I'm thinking of going back to black with a grey ombre for this upcoming fall. It'll be a good transition from my summery blonde to a more suiting dark hair color. Don't you think so? 

I was a little bit on the desperate side of getting these shots in that I had to settle for any location where I can just snap quick pics and dip. So do excuse the wet pavement!! 

Styling this outfit reminded me a little bit of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. I think it's the pearl bracelet paired with the black romper that really takes on Audrey's outfit. I always feel like such a proper lady when wearing classic ensembles like the one shown here.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! see you on my next one :)

Been super busy but I finally got to put on a new layout for the blog! how do you guys like it so far? I, myself, am very happy with the outcome. I outgrew the childish chevron background I had on before and wanted to head towards a much more minimal look. 

So much has happened since I last blogged that my thoughts are scattered as I try to figure out what to write here. hmmm.. so I attended my first EDC with my lovely coworkers last june and I can definitely say that I had the time of my life. Dancing to edm music in the desert for 3 days straight was quite the experience. I burned so many calories that I lost about 7 pounds over that weekend! omg!

I know it's only July but the inner wanderlust in me is craving to book my next trip. I'm thinking of New York in the early spring. After all, New York is always a good idea. 

Happy 4th of July to you all! Stay safe out there<3
