Happy December!

So Rob and I got back from our BOS/NYC trip last month and it was definitely one for the books. There's just something about going to another state/city that makes me feel excited and warm inside. Maybe it's the fact that I feel unstoppable and inspirations just fill up my head. Or maybe it's having that freedom to do whatever I want as I please. I hope as you read this, it motivates you to venture out of your comfort zone and explore what's out there. Adventure awaits in every corner. It's up to you to chase it.

Unfortunately, the day after we flew back to cali, I got sick with the flu so that's why I've been MIA. A small trip to the ER and a bag of iv really helped me get back into shape asap. Although I'm not looking forward to the hospital bill...

You're probably wondering where my Boston and NY pictures are. Well, I haven't gotten around to editing them yet cause I've been so backed up with other projects. But not to worry, I'll have it posted before the new year so stay tuned for those!

This t shirt is literally my motto. When I saw this on the Rosegal website I had to get it.  No pants are the best pants. Anyone else agree with that? I know what I'm wearing is a contradiction but if I didn't wear pants it would have been a public indecency LOL. 

Life has been kind of a rollercoaster of emotions recently. It saddens me to say that I lost my friend, Sheryl Capistrano to lupus. She did my makeup back when I didn't know how to put eyeshadow and do my eyebrows haha. She's the reason that I now know how to do both. If we never met I probably would still be playing it safe with just eyeliner and mascara; lets be real. I thank God for having met you even if it was just for a short period of time. Thank you Sheryl for all the memories we made together. I hope you're as happy as can be in paradise. <333

Xoxo,

Lara

Happy Monday my loves! 

I hope your weekend went well just as mine did. I celebrated a few drinks with my best friend and boyfriend in honor of my new job! I'm so glad I can finally say that I'm done working nights. I'll no longer be an insomniac; maybe at my next rave, but not on the day to day basis. Hip hip hooray!!

Whenever I'm in the mood to dress down I always go for either leggings or sweatpants. Fashion doesn't always have to be glitz and glamour, right? Queue in the t-shirt dress. This plain jane has been my go to look for the past month. 

Rosegal has been so kind enough to send me this nude colored low cut t shirt choker dress to review. Like I've mentioned in my previous posts, their sizes do run small so I'm a size medium in their clothes. Usually the quality of some of their products are thin but this one is soft and promising. The material used was well chosen and is soft to the touch. With the low cut style on this dress, I suggest wearing those strappy bralettes under to spice up your look. Unfortunately, this item is no longer available on their website but I've linked another similar style to this Pink Tee here. 

Sending you good vibes to get yourself through this week! 

Xoxo,

Lara

Hey girl hey!

I'm back with another post in collaboration with Rosegal. They sent me two t shirt dresses to style for the blog so this is my take on the trend. I went in going for the "I'm with the band" type of look. The distressed cuts on this t shirt give it such a tough girl vibe that makes it scream BAD ASS BITCH. You can wear this look to a rock n roll concert or to a girls night out on the town. (You can purchase this dress here.)

Their website says that a size small should be my go to fit for this t-shirt dress but since I'm not a fan of tightly fitted clothing, I went ahead and ordered a size medium. If you haven't noticed yet, Rosegal sizes do run small so ordering a size up should be ideal.

To update you babes on my life, I just had my wisdom teeth removed a couple weeks ago! And no, you will not find my post surgery video on World Star Hip Hop lol. Since I'm fully back to my normal cheek size, I can stuff my face with yummy food again! That also means I'm back to updating and posting on the blog too. It makes me wonder if blogging with my hamster cheeks would have been appealing to you. (I think not, haha)

Heaven has gained 3 beautiful angels up above. It breaks my heart to say that my beloved grandma, uncle, and my family priest had all passed away last week. It has been a difficult time for my family, especially for my father, to lose his mother. My family would like to thank you for the prayers we have received for each and everyone of them. It is truly appreciated from the bottom of our hearts.

If there's one thing I learned from the death of a loved one, it is that death does not symbolize an end of life, but the beginning of a rebirth.

All I got is summer time, running through my mind~

I've partnered up with Rosegal to show you some summer looks to (hopefully) keep you cool for the summer! Rosegal is an online clothing store that sells the hottest fashionable clothes at very reasonable prices. You can check out their instagram under @rosegal_official and website at www.rosegal.com

Bright colors are usually not the color schemes I gravitate to when it comes to clothing, but I thought, why not try something new for once, Lara? I went in bold and came out with this stunning floral red romper. The strapless sleeves with ruffle detailings were what sold me on this piece (As you can tell on my previous post, I'm clearly a sucker for ruffles).  This romper retails for $17.07 on their website. I'm usually a size small but the rosegal suggests that I order a size up because their sizings do run small. I went with a medium and it fit me perfectly. The bottoms are of a culotte style so it's a little longer than what I prefer on a romper but it's good for a change. If you'd like to purchase their romper you may do so through this link. 

You can also check out their latest floral rompers here.


You can't forget accessories am I right? I styled this look with round pink sunnies which are a cute trend for this summer and this layered golden necklace from Mirina Collections. This necklace comes in 2 colors but I chose on styling the golden color to contrast with the red romper. On their website, this retails for $84 but if you use my discount code: MirinaGirls you'll save 20% off. If you're interested in purchasing this dainty necklace, you may do so through this link. 


See you on my next post!

RoseGal Wishlist: Black Halter Bikini & Black Bikini Set

Can't decide what bikini print to go with this summer? Black has always got your back! You can never go wrong with black because this versatile color goes with every skin tone and body size. I've partnered up with @Rosegal to share with you my summer black bikini set and black halter bikini wishlist. 

 Criss Cross Cut Out Bikini Set

 $12.84

Cut out bikinis have been such a hit since they've been on trend since 2015. I chose this criss cross cutout bikini because I love swimsuits that give me edge and girl power. This top seems to give a lot of support since it is like a sports bra fit with the halter back. 

Strappy bottom detailing

 Unlined halter one piece Monokini Swimsuit

$18.81

I've never owned a one piece bathing suit so this crochet one really caught my eye. I love how the crochet trimming really pulls this monokini together. Instead of making it a boring one piece fit, the details give it a feminine vibe especially with the side cutouts. 

If you'd like to purchase these bikinis I've linked them on each caption of the pictures. Still not sure if these ones are the right styles for you? Be sure to check out their other fabulous styles below.
