And in a blink of an eye...January flew by just like that! It's crazy to say that we're 2 months into 2018!

I partnered up with @zaful to bring you my spin on the perfect Valentine's Day OOTD. With the main color of the holiday being red, I opted for the color pink because you just know, pink is my weakness!! I chose this pink draped coat from their website as the star item of my entire outfit. I was surprised with the quality and fit of the coat because it is well weighted and the color is so pretty in person. I ordered mine in the size medium and it fit me like a glove. This coat comes in 3 other different colors and retails for $28.99 . You can purchase this coat here. Boyfriend jeans have always been my go to pair for bottoms so I had to include it in this fit. I didn't want to go too bold with the top so I chose this black crop top. To finish the look, I topped it off with a silver beaded statement necklace and grey suede sandals. I present to you my "classy but casual valentine's babe" look. Cupid would be so proud, haha!

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!

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

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

As the summer weather is fast approaching, the time for shorts and crop tops are here to make their mark once again!

ZAFUL was kind enough to send me a package of full of summer goodies that I'll be styling to inspire you with your summer outfits! 

Since embroidered roses have been the "in" thing lately, this was on the top of my summer outfits wishlist. I chose it in the color white because I feel like its such a refreshing piece to style with any colored bottoms you choose. The material used for the top is soft and stretchy. My bust size is a 34B and it is able to cover my entire chest. I usually prefer going bra less with tops like these because bras are just not my thing. But if you're scared of your headlights peeping out I suggest wearing nippies with these. 

If you'd like to purchase their stylish top you may do so by clicking the link below. This top comes in a variety of 3 colors and retails for $16.49
