I have been MIA for awhile, bad blogger I know. Life has been quite hectic lately, especially trying to be a nanny. Also very tiring. I'm typically worn out on my weekend days off. My CPU has been broken...boo. Although I REALLY promise to get back on track, especially since I miss blogging so much! Time to take a well needed nap, have a wonderful Monday bloggers!

Overall an amazing show! What were your favorite gowns of the night?!

Giambattista Valli Spring 2015 Couture

AHHHH the smell of Haute Couture week is in the air!

Isn't wonderful, it's like Christmas...but better. With shows so far such as Atelier Versace, Christian Dior, and of course Giambattista Valli. Which happens to be my favorite show so far. From the soft color palettes to the wispy and luxurious fabrics. With prints such as, florals and houndstooth. The chic bow and polka dot head pieces (which I LOVEEE), really take the cake. These photos have to be my favorite. It almost makes me think this was designed with royalty in mind.

What has been you favorite collection so far?? :)

I have A LOT of polka dots and floral print pieces. Seriously.

More than I thought really. Anyway, I bought this super cute floral and stripe print skirt, at Target recently. I couldn't just not get it. Oh and this sweet polka dot coat my mom go to for me as well. It was the very last one! Also from Target. Can you all tell I love Target? I decided I wanted to try and mix up a bunch of my favorite prints. How did I do guys?!

Also see my NEW Mavatar cart with what else, polka dots, floral print and stripes!

Vintage Polkadots

2015-01-19T11:56:00.000-08:00

Dress - 1940's Vintage (from my dads cousin) / Sunnies - Marc Jacobs / Necklace - Target ($7 on clearance!)

My hair is a mess and I decided to go barefoot. Reason?

Well, I did not have any shoes that would match this amazing 1940's vintage dress. So I figured why not. As for my hair, it was quite windy. I'm no model, wish I had a hair and make-up pro on site. I received this dress from my dad's cousin. As well as a few others. All I can say is, that I'm in LOVE with this chic number. I may have to do some tailoring, so it's more proportional to my short height. As well as find some shoes. I REALLY need more and new shoes.

Check out my latest Mavatar Cart filled with all things Polka Dots

Here's to a fabulous week everyone! ;)

Golden Globes: Best and Worst!

2015-01-12T13:22:00.000-08:00

BEST

Emma Stone in Lanvin. Just beyond CHIC.

Jennifer Aniston in Saint Laurent

Kate Hudson in Atelier Versace

Dakota Johnson in Chanel Haute Couture

The newly Amal Clooney in Dior Haute Couture. Can never go wrong in classic Old Hollywood style. My all time favorite.

WORST

Kerry Washington in Mary Katrantzou...just no.

Lena Dunham in an ILL fitting Zac Posen

Antonio Berardi, and Amy Poehler an electric-blue eel in long-sleeved Stella McCartney. Not feeling either one. Perhaps if they switched gowns?

Amanda Peet in J. Mendel...toilet paper much?

Lana Del Ray in vintage Travilla. The Little Mermaid wants her prom dress back...

Now, I didn't watch the Awards show...or the red carpet. Slits seemed to be a huge trend this year. I was too buy watching the Ducks hockey game with my bf. (We'll miss you Teemu!) Although I always love to do a best and worst dressed post. Who was your favorite and not so favorite of the night? :)

Finally got to break out my new Nikon camera. Seems to work great, I'm pretty happy with the results. The new year has been treating me well so far. New nanny job is going great, tiring but great!

I'm also going to start as a contributor writer for Trend Prive Magazine with the help of a very dear friend of mine. Also senior accessories editor, Adrielyn Christi. Team Adrielyn all the way, WOOO! I cannot wait. We may have a chance to actually go to LA Fashion Week, which I have never ever been to! Pretty major.

California Snow Day!

2014-12-31T11:01:00.000-08:00

HOLY CRAP it has snowed in So Cal?! What?!

My goodness it's 2015 starting tomorrow, can you all believe it?

I can't. I finally had some time to blog yay! I started yet another new nanny job watching these two crazy kids. Cora, 5 and Averi, 2. Aren't they SO cute (sometimes they drive me nuts...I call it prepping for parenthood). I also FINALLY got a freaking actual Nikon camera for Christmas, I'm no longer a loser in the blogging world! Just kidding, but seriously though, NO more cell phone cameras!

My outfit is terrible in my eyes, but I have no winter clothes because well, it rarely gets this cold in SoCal. So I had to throw this together at 6 in the morning, HAAA!

I hope everyone has an amazing New Year and accomplishes all there goals. Some of mine will be working on my blog 10x more with lots of awesome posts.

Keaton Row Looks: The Holidays are Here

2014-11-25T10:30:00.000-08:00

Chic Coats are must haves for the fall and winter seasons. They can also make great investment pieces.

Sweat pants are NEVER an option for a fashionista.

Although I'm not a huge fan of scarves...this outfit completely comes together with a cute pop of leopard.

What are your favorite fall and winter pieces to wear during the season? :)

FINALLY a new blog post...life has been hectic lately. With my nanny job (which so happens I started a new one...yay). I finally was able to do an awesome photo shoot with my friend Lotus, who is a photographer. No more cell phone pictures! Well, until she moves to New Mexico at least. Than that is where my boyfriend comes in with his new Iphone6+ camera, which I have heard good things about.

Next week is Thanksgiving...woohoo! All i'm thinking about is the mass amount of food I will consume, and of course turkey, as well as my family.

Any plans for Thanksgiving??? :)

San Francisco Trip Part 2

2014-10-20T11:28:00.001-07:00

The AMAZING The Hunt team! :)

I hugged the window front...

I'm SO short... :/

My trip to San Francisco was truly just an amazing experience. The team from The Hunt, were SO sweet and kind. Their office was beautiful and right across from Alexander McQueen, I did. I FINALLY got to meet my love Adreilyn, after being blog friends for over a year now. She was one of the reasons, my trip was just an eye opener. As well as going shopping with her, and seeing all the gorgeous designer stores. We literally DIED.

The inside of the Neiman Marcus, is like a palace. The ceilings, just make you want to cry. I cannot wait to come back to this city. I fell in love instantly!

I'm BACK, and totally have been lagging on my blog posts like crazy.

Life has been crazy lately, my nanny gig, online styling job, etc. Anywho, my trip to San Francisco was truly AMAZING! Last time I was in this city I was 9 years old, I remember certain things, but not everything. So this time around was just truly a blessing.

My mother and I stayed at my aunt Katrina's house, She is a professional piano player, she is incredible. Her house is also amazing too, and a 100 years old, on the great street of Potrero Street. Known for it's breathtaking views of the city skyline.

Part 2 of my trip will be up later this week, I can't wait to show you more photos from my amazing time meeting The Hunt and hanging out with my best friend Adrielyn!

Tulle Skirt & Polkadots

2014-09-10T09:59:00.000-07:00

Tulle skirt - Space46Boutique / Polkadot top - PopBasic / Shoes - C/O Guilty Soles / Handbag - Kate Spade New York / Necklace - KCN Jewels / Rings - Nordstrom Rack, KCN Jewels / Bracelets - KCN Jewels, ShopSereneSky /

Tulle skirts have been a MAJOR trend in the world of fashion bloggers. So, I completely caved and had to get my hands on one from the lovely and ever so amazing Space46Boutique. I have been around looking for other skirts, either the fabric was too hard and scratchy or they were just not cute at all. This skirt I must say, is just downright a god sent. It's perfect in a soft pink-blushy tone color.

Where I live, in Temecula, CA, people look at me like I'am straight up crazy when I go out and about wearing this. A town full of gym clothes, jeans, and ugg boots, someone has to change up the fashion around here right? So, I really do not mind the stares and eyebrow raises. A lot of little girls say they love my skirt, so that makes me happy!

Continue to have a fabulous week! :)

I also realized my top, white jeans, and cute new striped shirt (I got it on clearance WOOHOO), are all from one of my favorite stores, Target!

Anywho, how cute is this leopard print dress?! I got it from my sister for my birthday that was last month. Surprisingly it's from Forever 21 too. I can never find anything when I shop there. So I was amazed she found these two totally cute pieces!
