Endless Lace

There is something unconditionally beautiful and feminine about lace. It is a long lived fabric that generates exquisite beauty. I can never refuse lace, nor the challenge of wearing lace on lace. The end of Summer is approaching and the atmosphere will soon take a slight turn. This lace bralette is a simple silhouette, that easily compliments a variety of styling options. Whether its being worn under a cut out tank or exposed out in the open like I have done here, a lace bralette adds charming detail. I am one who adores contrast, so naturally I needed to pair my lace duo with some vibrant colors. Although the warm weather sticks on Southern California for some time, I have to embrace the last few days of the season with Summers elegance. #teenvogue

Fairy Dust

 We all like to feel like a fairy every now and then. Or an elf.. gypsy.. flapper girl? Why not combine all three fashion fantasies into one? That is exactly what popped into my head as I was draping these contrasting fabrics together into the dress I am wearing here. I have such a weakness for celestial speaking lace. I designed a skirt for a friend earlier this year using this same lace fabric and I couldn't help myself, I just had to make a piece with it for myself. I transcended all my fashion muses into one when designing this piece. Light, free, and subtly vibrant- this dress has relaxing beauty perfect for these magical late summer days.

It's a Mystery

A mysterious face on a t-shirt. How could you pass that up? I definitely couldn't. I have had this graphic for about 3 years now and it has gone through about 5 transformations of cutting and reworking. Yes, it was a basic t at one time. There were words once too- "I only have eyes for you". To this day I do not know the identity of the face, words, or origin of this shirt, but I am truly in love with the ambiguity. Aren't we all? #teenvogue

Wind Over Matter

Never forget what inspires you the most. All of my favorites are put together in one with this outfit. A Vintage jewel, floral patterns, a bowler hat, and delicate nature. New inspirations are always wonderful, yet our roots of  motivation and creativity will always be instilled is us.  #teenvogue

Neighborhood Watch

Sometimes the best outfits come about when wardrobe options are limited. By that I mean when life gets a little congested with work, studies, and travelling the laundry pile in turn gets stacked up to the ceiling leaving the closet bare with only a few items. For me, when I am put in this pickle, a limited wardrobe puts me in a challenge that results in awesome outfits. And I am quite certain this can relate to many others. Maybe its the fact that when forced to choose within parameters we are not overwhelmed by the entirety of our wardrobe, liberating us to just go with out instinct with pairing outfits. Who knows. But my pattern blocking and time to accessorize goes in full throttle when I should be doing laundry.. :) #teenvogue

Rainbows, Strip Malls, America

Although its a contradicting thought, I believe the 90's was an alluring decade for Fashion. All kinds of transitions started- the rejection of Fashion with popularized grunge, the 'Power Look', and brands becoming new staples of style. The most admirable fact of the 90's is that this age marked the beginning of recycling. Bringing back the old and mixing it in with the new to create brilliantly twisted looks. Of course throughout history each decade of Fashion forerunners took inspiration from the past (and always will), but the 90's gave birth to the practice of mixing high and low, recycling styles, and combining the old with the new. 

Now two decades later Fashionistas in all levels of society are salvaging Vintage styles and exploring thrift stores for antique finds. I found this 90's floral romper at a Vintage re-sale shop, scored the jackpot with this one! It is hands down the most comfortable piece in my closet. The print is very lovely as well, its appearance is more of a painted floral pattern. To mix in a contemporary element I slipped on my U.S.A wedges, part of a local San Diego Designers collection- Michael Walrond. To top off I paired an American Apparel knitted infinity scarf.  Blending different pops of classic and peculiar is what I do best :) #teenvogue
