Floral Kimono













Floral Kimono: Tilly's 
Black Dress: H&M
Two-layer neklace: TOPSHOP
Cutout ankle boots: TOPSHOP

I don't think my obsession with floral print will ever die. I tried for awhile to stop buying it because my entire closet looks like a garden, but that is nearly impossible for me. Especially with summer in full swing, no other pattern is more appropriate at this time. This kimono is very dramatic because of the length but it could literally be worn hundreds of ways, it has versatility. The main reason I liked it was because it's a statement piece (always has to be one) and it is so lightweight and cool for the hot summer days. I especially liked how it was sleeveless as well. I put it over a black dress and paired it with some leather ankle boots from TOPSHOP. I love these boots not only because they are black leather but because they have the cutouts on the side. This takes away from the harshness of the look and they are not as hot to wear in the heat, plus it adds detail. Although it was probably 95 degrees when I took these hence the serious looks, I just couldn't see because of the sun quite honestly. I have worn this necklace in a post before & it went perfect with this outfit because of the layers. You have to be careful if you wear something dramatically long like the kimono because you need to make sure everything else is proportioned or else the look will not be appeasing. Since the length of the kimono draws your eyes down you need a necklace to do the same thing. This necklace is very long and keep the flow of the outfit. I like the choker part of it too because it toughens up the floral look instead of making it look too girly. Also how could I forget that the tips of my hair are purple...pink... fuschia....? Idk what color it turned into but I wanted to thank Ashley for doing it, she did a superb job. She may as well take hair dying up as her day job. Not going to lie either, I mainly did this outfit because it matched my hair haha so enjoy and go buy yourself a floral cape and twirl in the wind :))))))))

CRAZY PANTS

Black Tee: Cotton On  Boots: ASOS Crescent moon necklace: F21 Turquoise necklace: Charming Charlie Sunglasses: Banana Republic Pants: Roxy Nothing says statement more than these pants, they have to be one of my favorite pairs that I own. Selena, Wendy, and I planned to go to LA and I knew we would be stumbling across this infamous pink wall on Melrose, so of course I planned to wear these pants b/c they have pink in them & I knew they would look cute against the wall (my OCD about matching goes to a whole another level sometimes). I bought these at the Roxy/ Quiksilver store and fell in love with them instantly. I actually think they are meant to just wear to the beach over your bathing suit (because they have that linen feel), but why limit it to that?! I have tried to wear these pants with other combinations of colors to bring out the accents, but nothing looks as good as plain black. To bring out color, I wore two necklaces bu...

Malibu Wine Safari

Hat: Brixton Dress: H&M White tee: Boohoo Belt: Pacsun Sunglasses: RayBan Shoes: Steve Madden Necklace: Urban Outfitters Bracelets: one is 'Tiffany' and one I got in France  I did the Malibu Wine Safari last month for my other friend's birthday and my life was made when I got to feed my spirit animal, a llama. March was full of wine and birthdays haha. These hats made a total comeback and while a black one would've looked just as cute, I like to add color and match my sunglasses hehe. I added the white t-shirt under the dress to #1 match my shoes, and #2 make it have more of a school girl look. I like layering tees under things it makes the look more unexpected. It is important to pick silver or gold when accessorizing. Although mixing is not a crime I am OCD about it all matching. I love the reflective RayBans because the turquoise is my favorite color and it makes any outfit pop. Even hanging them from your shirt acts as an ...

Bustier Crop Top: Tilly's Tribal print maxi skirt: Brandy Melville Leather boots: ASOS Charm bracelet: H&M Earrings: Forever 21 Fedora: Forever 21 I love this skirt for one reason and that is the slit going down the side. Maxi skirts can actually be quite awkward if they have a straight hem because then a lot of shoes look weird with it. The slit allows you to wear different style shoes because it is still a long skirt, but it is open enough to see your legs and your shoes clearly. I chose this top because I did not want to use a boring black crop top because I think it is too predictable. I love this top because the color is really pretty and it is made for high-waisted skirts or shorts as such. The zipper in the front and the criss-cross straps in the back are all little details that make it stand out more than a regular top. Granted, a regular black shirt would still make this outfit really cute. To even out the black from my...
