Happy long weekend, babes! As always, it went by TOO fast! We headed to Calexico, where we dealt with my nephew's birthday, a day jumping around trampolines, and having a ridiculous night at Applebee's with my sister-in-law and her husband. These were just random shots taken on our way back home this afternoon in Alpine. The things you do in order to not waste a good outfit, especially when half of it was gifted by the lovely gals at Missguided (once again)! Who could resist a faux leather vest and skirt combo? Certainly not this girl. What did you guys do this weekend?

In this second installment of my LA photo series, I take you to the famous Paul Smith pink wall on Melrose Avenue. You have probably seen the side of this store hundreds of times, perhaps without knowing it. The day was a perfect one to take 5 minutes and snap some shots of this iconic place. 
Happy Friday eve, babes!

Another weekend down, a new one to go. I begin it with a new shoot straight from the (now) infamous, Bates Motel on Sunset Boulevard in LA. It is a towering white public art piece called Projection, which was brought to life (so to say) by French artist Vincent Lamouroux. It will eventually be torn down completely after decades of being abandoned in order to make way for new retail/restaurant space. For now, make sure you make your way down to this place- it's so sick and different, cooler than anything I've ever seen! 
I took this trip to the city of angels as an opportunity for a small photo sesh, so I slipped on this suede fringe jacket from (obviously) Missguided (I swear they spoil me so much!) and vintage denim skirt. I think the overall contrast of the background and outfit is insanely gorgeous...and yes, I AM (sort of) exaggerating! What do you think of this look?!
Have a great week, babes! xx

For some reason I forgot about this outfit and found it to be fitting for the date today- yes, Cinco de Mayo- and NO, it's not Mexican Independence Day! For more information on that, you can click HERE! Anyway, on to the outfit! It's actually a bit on the classy black and white side, complete with a loose-fitting blouse and strappy heels. Nothing too dramatic (except this background scenery)! 
In other news, I am off to LA on Thursday for an event and I can't wait! It's been a long time since I've been in the area (since I went to FIDM!) and I am looking forward to cruising around and snapping some outfit shots.

About two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of going on location with ModDeals, which is an online shop that caters to the younger babes. I really like the fact that you can find plenty of cool and trendy items at such affordable prices! I couldn't help but choose a few outfits with a bit of a boho-chic vibe, even if it IS post-Coachella status. Can you tell I've been all over kimonos and crop tops lately? Versatile and super comfy, these pieces are definitely a must in your closet! I will let my ramblings stop here and the photos speak for themselves. Have a great start to your new week, and don't forget to take a peek at the ModDeals blog for more on how you, too, can achieve these looks!
