Silk Tank: Bebe, Shorts: Forever 21, Shoes: Via Spiga, Bag and Faux Fur: Vintage, Jewelry: Vintage, Sogoli, Elena Cruz

This past week has been so warm and beautiful, about 70 degrees. Downtown was even hotter, I was nearly sweating walking back to my car in the sun! Overall, it’s been so nice with the warmth. I’ve been using it to my advantage by taking more early morning walks and by eating on the porch rather than in the dining room. As you can probably tell, lightweight materials have been dominating most of my closet space lately. I hate feeling bulky with heavy clothes! I do have a love for fur though, so I wrapped this little faux fur piece around my bag. It is definitely a tank and shorts set that will be in my suitcase to Asia the end of this month! The collage I made below inspires me to pack worn-in white tees, lots of shorts, and killer shoes. Can’t hardly wait. Until then, I’ve got work to do.

Here is more of my work shot by photographer Lauren Ward.

My header photo is also from this shoot! I love the hazy photos and dusty rose colors.

Shiny Pants: Cheap Monday, Shirt: GAP, Faux Fur Vest: Forever 21, Booties: Bally

I’m whippin out the black shiny pant and how rock n roll are they? They’re kinda my new love and kinda make me want to scream at the top of my lungs into a microphone with a rock band haha. Anyways, besides what I imagine doing in the pants, these ones by Cheap Monday are actually really comfy, though they don’t look it! I kept it pretty simple today, one can’t go wrong with the black and white. Black pants, white button-up, black fur. I’m lovin the whole “lets kick some serious ass” vibe of this outfit! Definitely one to repeat! 🙂

And here is an illustration of me by Leslee from LA, artist and blogger of Ink My Fashion. I was so excited to see this in my Inbox! No one has ever made a sketch like this for me before! It was a very pleasant surprise and really made my day. This illustration is an incredible remake of a shot from my Revolve x Lookbook.nu photoshoot. Leslee is a true artist! Thank you for doing this for me!!

Dress: Stylestalker, Shoes: Via Spiga

This gorgeous dress was given to me from the lovely designers of the brand Stylestalker. Australian designers Sue-Ann San and Rachel Zeilic really know their stuff and make incredible pieces of clothing that any woman can wear at affordable prices. Thank you so much Su-Ann and Rachel for sending me this beautiful piece! I am absolutely in love with fitted dresses at the moment! I could tell this body-con dress was of great quality the minute I put my hands on it: nice thick stretchy material which seriously hugs the body perfectly in all the right places! The sheer, one shoulder detail shows just the right amount of skin and adds the perfect touch! This dress is exactly what I’ve been looking for recently, it’s very Alice Dellal/Erin Wasson-y! You can’t go wrong with black sheer and a nice fit! I am looking forward to wearing it again out to special events, or dressed down with boots during the day. It’s definitely my new favorite dress! FYI, everything on the Stylestalker site is 50% off right now EEP!! I am loving their super affordable prices! Perfect time to get your hands on one of these! 🙂
