FLOWER POWER


























$ THE FIT $
I'm SO obsessed. I picked up this cute top the other day at the melrose trading post and don't tell anyone but I've worn it like alll week lol. I paired it with this fuzzy skirt from Missguided for a funky 60's vibe. This skirt is definitely a new staple in my wardrobe. It also comes in black and baby pink! The best part is they're actually part of a co-ord set, so they all have a matching fuzzy crop shirt. I topped off the outfit with my necklace by Marina Fini (which matched so freaking perfect with the shirt,) and a rad sock & sandal combo.

BALI




























$ THE FIT $
So wow, this dress. I found this gem the other day at the Melrose trading post! It's vibrant colors and exotic print drew me in immediately and it's safe to say it's a new staple in my wardrobe. It's super light weight and flowy, perfect for LA weather. Like, where was this at the beginning of summer?!
 I paired it with these kick ass boots from Missguided for an Urban street style look. Then I accessorized it with a black choker and some mini bamboos to keep with the vibe of the dress. 

These shots were taken at the old zoo in El Dorado Park. It's a series of old broken down buildings that you can go in and explore. This place is definitely one to check out. Big thanks to Nicholas (the amazin' photographer) for taking me here in the first place.

As for me, I'm starting to figure out the direction I'm trying to go in. I'm taking some time off from school to work so I can move out and start my business. In the meantime, I'm still working on improving my skills so when I can finally get Lipstick Jungle going it will be the best it can be. 
I'm currently in Chicago for my first time! I'm visiting my best friends Kristen & Tina that went back home allll Summer & let me tell you it's the best feeling ever. I missed them like crazy & I'm excited to see where they grew up just like they've seen where I have. Details on my trip will be on the blog next week!

BACK 2 THE FUTURE



RETRO FUTURISTIC SWEETHEART 






























$ THE FIT $
This vintage yet forward look is one of my favorites. Denim minis, platform sandals, and printed shirts scream summer! Sadly, summatime is coming to an end but that's all the more reason to step your summer style up and go out with a bang! 
I often like to dress in blue and white tones during the summer just to kind of look cooled down. This rad printed shirt I thrifted and cropped adds the perfect amount of color to the outfit while still keeping it cool. 
I paired it with some simple denim and a clear belt to accent the clear bottomed shoes. I topped the outfit off with this beautiful bag from La Moda. It looks modern with its clean white and silver finishes and vintage at the same time with the fringe. Matched the fit perfectly!
