Don't Break My Heart








Tee: Target
Bralette: Charlotte Russe (Sold Out)
Jacket: ZARA
Leggings: Black Craft Cult
Boots: Lexy Couture 
Sunglasses: eBay

Looking sleek and chic in this all black outfit. This color is one of my favorites because I always feel so confident when I wear it, almost like I feel powerful and untouchable. I usually try to keep my outfits as simple as possible with only a few statement pieces. One of those pieces is the gorgeous strappy bralette that I've worn in quite a few of my photos. It's very comfortable and looks amazing with low neck tops/dresses. The next piece is the "Moon Child" leggings I bought a couple of years ago from one of my favorite stores. They're super cute and I wear them practically all the time. And then the other piece is my heart-shaped sunglasses. I bought these beauties online and I never leave the house without them. I finished the look with my cropped faux leather jacket, faux leather boots, and some silver rings.

Peace and Paisley



Tee: Nordstrom Rack (Similar)
Flared Bottoms: Lip Service (Sold Out)
Onyx Choker: Empty Casket
Boots: Madden Girl (Journeys)

Talk about a fashionable and affordable outfit. It's comfy, cute, and perfect for this never ending summer weather. My favorite item from this look has to be the paisley flared bottoms. I've been buying from Lip Service since I was a teen and their brand never goes out of style. I've had my eye on these bottoms for awhile and I was heartbroken when they were no longer available on the site. But luck must have been on my side because I was having a Girl's Day Out with one of my good friends a few months ago and we stopped at Wasteland (one of my favorite vintage/used clothing stores) and decided to browse. While looking through some pants/leggings, I saw a familiar looking pattern and lo and behold, it was the bottoms I wanted and they were  in my size! I immediately bought them and I'm so happy I went for it. This is why I encourage everyone to go thrift shopping, because you never know what you may find. I decided to wear a simple black shirt since the bottoms already stand out and then I finished the look with some simple jewelry and a cute pair of black boots.

Pretty Polka Dot Dress




Dress: Varga
Sunglasses: eBay
Heels: eBay

A few months ago I found myself walking around a local shopping center and came across this store called "Varga" and immediately fell in love. I found out through one of the employees at the store that inspiration for the style was by a group called the "Varga Girls" that were pinup models who modeled for the famous pinup artist Alberto Vargas. The clothes were that classic pinup style made for the modern woman. The dress I'm wearing is a beautiful mauve color with a simple pattern of black polka dots. It is form fitting with a cute flared skirt. It's great to either wear to the office or maybe at a picnic in the park. To add a little more to the outfit you can either wear a simple black sweater or for an edgier look, wear black moto jacket. I've finished my outfit with my favorite heart-shaped sunglasses and a pair of black patent leather Mary Jane heels.

Taking Care of Business







Top: Express
Bralette: Charlotte Russe (Sold Out)
Skirt: Forever 21 (Similar)
Boots: Nasty Gal
Purse: Forever 21 (Sold Out)

I have a typical 9 to 5 job and I enjoy bringing my own style into the office. This outfit is the perfect look for work while still a little edgy. The button up top is a beautiful shade of red and looks amazing with either a high-waist skirt (like the cute one I'm wearing) or a pair of skinny jeans. I'm wearing my go to boots that I bought online a few years ago and are great for when you have to walk around the office or run errands for the boss. To accessorize, I'm using my cute black faux leather chained purse that was a birthday gift from this year and it's great for carrying my usual necessities. For my statement piece, I'm wearing my favorite caged strappy bralette. It's very comfortable and definitely makes this outfit stand out a bit more.

Caged and Crochet






Top: Gift 
Skirt: Gift
Booties: Jeffrey Campbell
Onyx Choker: Empty Casket (Sold Out)

Normally I am not big on anything gold, but this top is definitely an exception. The beautiful metallic gold top is crocheted with a stunning design and is simple yet elegant. One of my favorite parts of this outfit is the amazing caged suspender skirt that was given to me as a birthday gift (along with the top). It has a cute flare and the straps around the waist gives you a nice hourglass figure. To add a little more sparkle and shine to this look, I'm wearing a silver and onyx choker from my favorite online jewelry store. It's well crafted and absolutely stunning because of its simplicity. I finished the outfit by wearing my black Lita boots from JC. To finish the entire look, I'm wearing my favorite liquid lipstick from Anastasia Beverly Hills in the shade "Ashton".

The Unholy One







Tank Top: Urban Outfitters (Sold Out)
Bralette: Charlotte Russe (Sold Out)
Shorts: H&M (Similar)
Tights: Hot Topic (Sold Out)
Creepers: T U K
Snapback: Black Craft Cult

It's officially summer here in LA and the heatwave has hit pretty strong. This outfit is great for the weather and is very cute. The tank top is made of a soft sheer material that allows it to breathe and the strappy bralette adds a little sex appeal. I'm rocking my favorite pair of burgundy velvet creepers for some comfort. To keep my eyes protected from the sun, I'm wearing my favorite hat that was a gift for Christmas a couple of years ago. To finish the look, I'm wearing my favorite liquid lipstick "Ashton" from Anastasia Beverly Hills.
