ROSETTES

Rosette Necklace from Forever 21, Pink Capelet Blouse c/o Awwdore, Floral Denim Shorts c/o Ellysage, Flower Charm Bracelet c/o Chainless Brain, Nude Ankle-Strap Pumps from Nine West

As you know, I love wearing flowers on my head in the form of flower crowns. But I'm also in love with the way they look as rosette necklaces or bracelets! This necklace is from Forever 21 and I don't get to wear it much so I'm glad it matched so perfectly with my bracelet from Chainless Brain. My favorite part of this bracelet is the little bottle charm with the wooden beads inside; it's very quaint and whimsical! 

The pink capelet top is from Awwdore and I love that it's structural while still maintaining a romantic air. I ended up pairing it with my floral denim shorts from Ellysage which feature this beautiful light pink and blue floral print.

OLD HOLLYWOOD

This is one of my best friends, Kayla! I've known her since 2nd grade and now we are both going to go to art schools in New York! She's going to Pratt, so I'm excited to still get to visit her and come back to California with her during our vacations! 

This past Saturday was my school's Senior Prom and I wanted to share a few photos with you all! If I had more time, I would have decided to make my dress so I could have something that was one of a kind. My dream dress would have been very voluminous and in a bold, jewel tone like ruby red or jade green––something along the lines of the dresses by Lanvin! There wasn't much time left when I set out to look for my dress, and most of the places selling formal dresses had already been picked through. Even finding something in my size (regardless of being picky with the design) was a challenge! I thought that some girls were crazy to start looking for their dresses months in advance, but if you want to save yourself from multiple headaches, then start as early as you can so you can get the first pick!

I was so happy to find this gold sequin halter gown by Badgley Mischka though! At that point, I stopped being picky about the color and just wanted something that would stand out. I thought the gold sequins would look really dazzling, and the halter neck made it perfect for me to go full on with an "Old Hollywood" inspired look, complete with pin curls and classic red lips! I didn't intentionally plan out the color palette of gold and red (Iron Man colors) but once I realized the coincidence, I asked my date to get me a red corsage, and painted my nails red as well. If you are thinking of buying this gown and have any questions about the fit, feel free to email me! This dress will surely make you the belle of the ball!

PS: It was also my sister, Michelle's, 15th birthday on the day of my prom, so happy birthday to her! :)

PONY EXPRESS

Quay Sunglasses c/o Forward To All, Beige Boyfriend Blazer c/o Spiegel, Mini Messenger Bag c/o Spiegel, White Lace Bustier from Nasty Gal, White Skinny Belt from Forever 21, Crochet Denim Shorts c/o The Editor's Market, Nude Ankle-Strap Pumps from Nine West

When styling a look with an all-neutral color palette, one of the things I like to focus on is making sure that the outfit features lots of little details that help make the look more unique! I love the oversized fit of this boyfriend blazer and the contrasting strap on this bag, both from Spiegel. Spiegel is a brand whose pieces are couture quality but are available at affordable, everyday prices––for example, most of the white leather purses with gold hardware I've seen in stores have been way out of my price range but this one was a great price and is just the right size to be my new purse for when I go out on the weekends! :) You can even receive an additional 20% off on your purchase at Spiegel using the code Spiegel2013. 

I also love the whimsical, crochet trim at the hem of these shorts from The Editor's Market. It's always sad when the fraying on a garment becomes beyond repair, but with these shorts, you don't have to worry about that! I'd love to try sprucing up some of my other shorts that I don't wear too much by adding trim like this so the sides as well. I'd love to have a pair in pastel pink or forest green! Anyways, the next time I post, it will be after my Senior Prom this Saturday, so I'll have so much more to share with you guys! Until then, I hope you all have a great end to your week! <3
