Fire We Make

Just wanted to make this quick update! Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! This is probably my default outfit when the temperature hits over 90 degrees. Light colors and breezy fabrics. Stay cool lovers!

Get Lucky

(Forever 21 Tee & Shorts | Zara Bag | Marc Jacobs Sunnies | Michael Kors Watch | MyHotShoes Sandals)
I've always been an advocate of tea, but as of lately an iced coffee really seems to hit the spot. Stopped by a coffee shop with the best name I've ever heard of for a coffee joint with my gal friend. Their iced latte was superb! This lunch bag cross body and these Marc by Marc Jacobs sunnies have also been a staple in my wardrobe for the past two weeks. Everyone also knows that I am a sucker for heels with ankle straps. I've had these sandals (courtesy of MyHotShoes) in coral and could not resist acquiring another in a darker tone.  Also, has anyone heard the new daft punk song "Get Lucky"? A perfect sunny day anthem!  XOXOJOANNIE

Rock My World

( Forever 21 Tank Top and Flannel | Zara Pants & Heels | Michael Kors Bag)
Sunny afternoons call for lunch outdoors at local caffes with perfect green tea lattes. There seem to be quite a few of these days living in California. A gal friend and I decided to grab a late lunch while I devoured an Orea Cheesecake (quickly might I add!). Snapping these pictures with the city scape peeping from afar was a plus. Flannels used to be worn with sneakers, but throwing them on with a pair of heels these days tend to be a desired trend for me. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Spring, This Feeling

(Michael Kors Watch | Painted Threads Cardigan | H&M Top | MyHotShoes Floral Wedges)

These prints say it all. Definitely happy that Spring is in full force and that everytime I step outside the sight is absolutely gorgeous with flowers in full bloom. This light weight cardigan provides the perfect amount of cover up with just the right amount of airiness. Although floral prints for the spring is basically a default for everyone, who can help it? These wedges are definitely my go-to shoes for this Spring season. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Crystal Cove : Local Paradise

Here are a few photos from our trip to Crystal Cove, a small beach not to far away hidden in Orange County. The view was amazing, and the food even better. Hope to come back here in the near future!

Oh Snap!

( Forever 21 Jacket & Tank Top | Gifted Beanie | Dailylook Leggings | Steve Madden Boots | Michael Kors Bag | Marc Jacobs Watch)

When stumbling upon this fun tank top, what is there not to like? Its got a crocodile on it with an open back! I've definitely learned to love dressing more age appropriate and I've grown to love heels, but street style is definitely my roots. I was also gifted this bunny beanie a while back from a wonderful coworker as a souvenir from Taiwan. Sported this comfortable outfit while going to a japanese cooking class with my friend mintgreen! Welcome back from KOREA! Afterwards we wondered around the streets of little tokyo and snapped these photos. Excited to be blogging more with her back!

Neutral and Stripes

(American Apparel Shorts | Zara Tee | Forever 21 Bag | Michael Kors Watch | MyHotShoes Wedges)

So glad shorts weather has arrived in California already. I'm usually not a big fan of horizontal stripes because they do tend to make you look a bit more wide. However, I've established through this outfit that when paired with a solid color outer layer the stripes are perfectly fine! I decided to pair it with a bunch of earthy colors and these wedges courtesy of MyHotShoes added the extra omph! The boyfriend visited this weekend and here are just a few photos that I snapped on a few of our mini dates. We had actually gone to Newport Coast for the day, but I'll definitely share those pictures in my next post! 

Anyways, WHOSE EXCITED FOR LA FASHION WEEK?
