Polka Dot Middi Dress

I've noticed there is a lot of polka dot print clothing in my closet. For some, that may come as a bit of concern. However, I love polka dots! Polka dot prints are very retro, and in my opinion it makes whatever outfit your wearing with this print very feminine. I found this flowy polka dot midi dress this weekend at Forever 21. I love how easy the dress it. I decided to toughen up the dress by adding a faux leather vest, black chuck heeled sandals and my black hipster cowboy hat. I love to mix hard and soft pieces. It allows your outfit to be dynamic. I hope everyone had a great weekend and I'll talk to you all in my next post!

Floral Print Chiffon Pants

I love wearing chiffon. It's a light, airy fabric that just flows effortlessly when you move. Today I paired a floral print chiffon pant with a flowy chiffon top. I decided to wear a statement necklace as my accent piece to.

I'm planning on stepping out of my comfort zone in next weeks blog posts! So come back next monday to have a look! I hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll talk to you in my next post!

You Can Take the Girl out of NYC….

Living in LA is great, but I definitely miss my home state some times. What I really miss about NYC is the urban vibe and the serious street style. So I decided to bring my home town vibe by deciding to pair faux leather joggers, a New York Knicks tank with a denim vest. I like the laid back, street wear vibe this outfit emulates. Adding the bowler hat and spiky tennis shoes gives this look a edgy look! What kind of style represents your hometown? Let me know in the comments below!

Double Take

I wanted to show you all today how to style a white embosses sweatshirt 2 ways. Re-inventing outfits in your closet is probably one of the most interesting things. You can totally change the entire look of an outfit by just switching the bottom or vice versa. It's about being creative and finding new ways to reinvent the outfit. Don't be shy to wear something you already wore to school or work again. Adding a relaxed pair of jeans with a sequined top can give your outfit a daytime feel. However, by changing the jeans into a leather skirt, your outfit can quickly turn into day to night. Let me know in the comments section below if you would like to see more of this segment on my blog! Until next time…

Fun at Sea

This weekend my husband took me Whale Watching at Newport Beach. It was a great experience and an awesome way to kick off my Birthday weekend celebration. I love the ocean and I love the sea, so this was something that  I was totally excited for!  Plus, I love whales and dolphins and seals and fishes….basically all aquatic animals! I decided to wear something very casual because we were on a boat. I know today's outfit isn't as exciting, but I hope you guys enjoy today's post!

Road Trip

I apologize for my lack of post in the last couple of months, but I've been extremely busy because my husband and I have moved to California! Moving out west from the east coast has been a major change. We are still trying to adjust, but so far the experience has been amazing. The weather has been a lot more tolerable than the polar vortex my poor family has been dealing with back east. Although I do miss New York, I am happy that we are finally out here in LA. I'm just one step closer to achieving my dreams, which I will fill you in on once the ball gets rolling. 

One of the great things about moving to California is the 3 and 1/2 hour drive out to Las Vegas! Driving through the desert was an unforgettable experience. The views are just breathtaking! Like any Fashion Blogger would, we decided to do a little photo shoot on our way to Vegas. 

FYI-I'm trying to mix things up a bit with some DIY post and different fashion segments which I will start posting in weeks to come. Let me know in the comments below what kind of DIY or other fashion related post you would like to see! 

I hope everyone's Monday is going great so far!
