It is a bit bizarre that I am posting these photos of myself wearing a sweater when it has been incredibly hot the past few days! I snapped these shots last week during a gloomy evening walk but now they feel so out of place! Oh well, still a nice simple look so here goes... For a long long time, I was afraid of jeans, let alone white jeans. I thought they made me shorter than I already am or they are simply just uncomfortable, that is, until I found McGuire Denim (or more accurately McGuire Denim found me). I have been wearing these white Carmina skinnies so much that I think they are due for a wash! Not to mention how great they look with my cute new purse from DSW and these amazing strappy slide sandals which I also can't stop wearing!

I honestly can't remember the last time I wore a tube top, it was probably back in 8th grade when I thought I was the coolest kid in class (and I wasn't). I also really hate subconsciously and continuously having to adjust it at all times. Overall, it's just not my thing. However, this one I am wearing here is an exception. I love the blue and white tribal print, the ruffled overlay, and the cute dotted trim so much that I looked past the fact that it is a tube top. I paired it with these high waisted denim shorts with heart shaped pockets I have had for years and this amazing crochet knit duster with fringes.

If you have been following my blog and/or instagram for awhile, you would know that I am a crazy cat lady. So it is no surprise that I literally gasped when I saw this adorable cat dessert stand! For now I filled it up with some Malvi marshmallow cookie sandwiches (which are incredibly delicious by the way, my favorite is the Vanilla Salted Caramel!) but I can also see myself using this stand as a jewelry holder as well!

Not quite sure where my sudden obsession with triangles came from but these things around my home are pretty awesome, if I do say so myself! I recently started dabbling in gardening and that comes with a lot of planters and pots shopping. I was so excited to find ScottAve which is an Etsy shop full of hand painted planters with modern, geometrical, and minimal designs. The three I got look great individually as well as together as a set. I am a bit peculiar when it comes to which plant goes in which pot so that's why the two black and white ones aren't occupied yet. Soon though. Another wonderful piece I have with triangles is this leather and canvas pouch by Anne B Designs. This bag, part of the Made Collection, is available for pre-order through an Indiegogo campaign that will in turn perpetuate the development of a sewing school. Hurry though, the campaign ends tomorrow!

This dress is my absolute favorite dress ever (I must really like it to make such a statement because I have A LOT of dresses)! Everything about it is stunning... the intricate embroidery, the colorful floral, the sheer organza, and the slight flounce details. To bring out the pink and blue of the dress, I paired it with a fuchsia leather clutch, lapis honeycomb ring, and blue heels. I wish you can all see this dress in real life though because photos don't do it justice at all!

It's been a couple of months since I moved to my new apartment but unpacking/organizing is an on-going project and believe it or not I am still decluttering and getting rid of things I no longer need. Crossroads Trading Co.'s new sell-by-mail feature could not have come at a better time! Now, trading or selling clothes is just a few clicks away! Request a bag (prepaid label is included), fill it up, and off it goes! It's that simple and easy!

I love juice! I mean, who doesn't love the refreshing taste of a bottle of pressed juice that is healthy and delicious at the same time? I might not have the will power (not yet at least) to do a juice cleanse, but juices are a great alternative for whenever I feel like sipping a cup of coffee or munching on a snack. This past week Project Juice sent me Get Up and Go-Go, Swizz Beetz and Almond Mylk to try and I love them all! Get Up and Go-Go is my favorite, which is surprising to me because the coffee taste is more on the bitter side and normally my coffee and vanilla creamer tend to have a one to one ratio (bad, I know). Swizz Beetz tastes so fresh with a strong ginger kick and Almond Mylk is pure creamy goodness. Need I say more? Go try some yourself!

One thing you need to know about me is that I love jumpsuit, well that is, if I find one that fits. This convertible jumpsuit by Tbags Los Angeles might be my favorite piece this summer! The print is eye-catching, the silhouette is easy breezy and I absolutely love the halter details that looks like a necklace! It is also a great piece for transitioning from day to night, pair it with sandals during the day and style it up with heels at night. Here I added a red oversized shopper and heels to give the look a pop of color. Lastly, thank you Tbags Los Angeles for customizing this jumpsuit for me to fit my petite frame!
