CROWN JEWELS

DIY Flower Crown, Chanel Jewel Logo Top c/o Awwdore, Crochet Denim Shorts c/o The Editor's Market, Nude Ankle-Strap Pumps from Nine West

This is a more comfortable and casual look that I wore out on the weekend to go to lunch with my family! Whenever I want to make the combination of a simple top and shorts more interesting, I pick separates that are the same color. The jewel graphic on this top added just the right amount of color, and the chiffon sleeves made it dressier than your normal graphic top. The white flower crown helped add a more artistic vibe to this look, and these pumps are always my go-to shoes since they go with everything and are really easy to walk around in the entire day.

It's been a little over a week since I graduated from high school and now that I feel like I've spent enough time lazing around the house, I definitely want to start doing more stuff with my summer! I'd really like to read all the Harry Potter books since I've never read any of them, and I'd like to experiment with drawing and painting more so I won't be too rusty when college starts. I'd also like to spend time with the people I didn't really get to know that well until the end of the school year, as well as just focusing on hanging out with people in general more often. Do you guys have any specific summer goals you want to fulfill? :)

RUSTIC

Wide Brim Hat c/o Oasap, Skywalker Moto Jacket c/o Forward To All, Lace Mesh Dress c/o Sugarlips, Double Buckle Belt from Forever 21, Opal d'Orsay Heels c/o Sam Edelman

I couldn't really decide on one direction to style this look in, but I knew that I loved the way these pieces all looked together! I suppose you can call it a mix of western and tribal, with some pilgrim inspired flair though! I remember when this hat used to be my go-to accessory for my hair, and then it lost its throne when my white flower crown stepped onto the scene... I'm glad it had a chance to make a reappearance because its a piece that adds a lot of personality to a look.

The dress that I'm wearing today is from Sugarlips and I love that it combined both the mesh, applique, and paneled trends into one garment! I didn't want this look to be completely black so I threw this tribal jacket from Forward To All over my shoulders for some contrasting values and prints. The shiny texture of these Sam Edelman heels were perfect to counter the matte appearance of the rest of the look. Plus they heel height is very comfortable; something that I'm beginning to take into account more due to all the walking I'll be doing when I move to New York.

Laslty you may have already seen from my Instagram sneak peek, but I've been collaborating with Dahlia Wolf and they have produced a burgundy gown for sale based on the original, brown lace applique dress I designed here! It will be available for pre-order soon, so I hope that if any of you guys liked the original one, that you'll like the burgundy one enough to purchase one for yourself! Special outfit photos for the gown will be posted to my blog once the dress is available for pre-order :) In the meantime, I want to say a heartfelt thank you to Sugarlips/Dahlia Wolf for picking me for their first blogger collab!

LATITUDE

Handmade Pearl Choker, Bow Tie Blouse c/o Sugarlips, Vintage Map Leggings c/o Dreamachine Clothing, Nude Ankle-Strap Pumps from Nine West

Once someone who couldn't go without her backlit lighting, I've realized that with the right type of Levels and Curve editing, overcast lighting is a lot more fun to shoot in! This type of lighting adds a lot more dimension to my bone structure and I feel that that gives these photos more character. What do you guys think of the new style of photos today?

I couldn't resist styling these map leggings from Dreamachine with this old fashioned looking blouse to give off the charm of a voyager from the past! My sister said I looked like Christopher Columbus, and I feel that I should take that as a compliment. The pearl choker I'm wearing is something my mom bought for me but I never knew what to wear it with. I do have to say that it seemed like this choker and these leggings were meant to be paired with each other! Not only do they match perfectly in hue, but the pearls remind me of the types of riches you might find during an expedition while hunting for treasure.

I've also teamed up with Lazy Twins for a new giveaway for one piece of your choice from their store! Lazy Twins is a new brand with an indie/bohemian feel that recently started up last September. My personal favorite pieces are this sweatshirt and this floral blazer! This giveaway will end on June 23rd at 12 AM PST. It is open to US residents. Good luck! <3
