Me & My Mini
[[MORE]]
A mini-skirt working nautical, high-waisted and classic neutrals? YES please!
How can a fashionista pass-up such a wardrobe staple? (Even the A-line silhouette is super flattering! not to mention the many styling options).
Too cold (or leg-shy) to brave a mini? Not a problem- throw on some leggings!

Though most prints are hard to work into an outfit, leopard is the type that’s subtle and neutral enough to be paired with almost anything.

Pretty Pastels

On days when getting dressed is a bit of a challenge, I tend to gravitate towards color. Not only does it lift my spirits, it also gives me a new perspective on color-mixing.

(Of course, color and wearability help as well).
The easy fit and ultra soft feel of silk against my skin makes me wish I owned one of these tunics in every color!

Bright Stripes
[[MORE]]
When it comes to wearing stripes, don’t be afraid to go bold!
Color-shy? Start with black and whites, and work your way to more colorful, Spring-friendly tones.
When wearing brights on top, keep it simple with a solid tone on bottom, and shoes in a neutral shade.
Bottom-line: you can’t go wrong with a multi-toned, striped cardi, and comfy, stretch-denim.

Cheetah Print Chic
[[MORE]]
With Cheetah print at its fashion peak, one must find with ways to stand-out from the trend-following crowd.
Finding this sheer maxi was a major feat, but it was a tad too straight-forward for my taste. Safety-pinning one side and draping the fabric gives it an asymmetrical silhouette, which I find extremely sexy, without being overtly revealing.
Paired with my latest...

Horizontal Stripes: a Do or a Don't?
[[MORE]]
Horizontal stripes have been a fashion faux-paux for as long as I can remember, and with the nautical trend going strong in its 2nd year, it’s no wonder we’re currently seeing the horizontal-stripe have its 15 minutes (or maybe even 30 min!) in the spotlight.
Although this trend is having a major moment right now, the fashion industry says that not all of us can, or...

Mini Skirt & Leggings
[[MORE]]
I often shy-away from short-skirts, but worn with opaque leggings, the length factor of a mini no longer applies.
Besides, any article of clothing as versatile as this sporty, made-for-Spring, mint-green mini, is a wardrobe must.

Seasons Change
[[MORE]]
From season to season, style takes a twist and a turn in the direction of the weather.
With Fall lingering in the Spring Cali air, I’m having fun mixing and matching my seasonal wardrobes.
A minty-green tank screaming Spring! layered under a striped cardigan, jeggings and slouchy boots, makes for a great Spring come hither ensemble.

I Heart Ruffles
[[MORE]]
When it comes to personal style, I’m a total girly-girl.
In any given store, I head straight for the overtly girly- swooning over frilly details and colors that bring back memories of my fave childhood ensembles: knee-length dresses with shiny maryjanes and braided pigtails with bows on the ends.
That said, it’s no surprise that this powder-pink, ruffled top stole my...
