A couple of my favorite current things that I was so lucky to get over the weekend:

1. Fresh colorful bundle of flowers from the local farmer's market in L.A.

i love having fresh flowers around the house especially in my room; keeps the rooms looking

pretty while smelling like spring!

2. A gift box of eight delicious Vanilla Macarons from Ladurée that made it's way all the way from NYC...Lucky me! Thank you Olga!

i've been a huge fan of macarons and although they're pricey, i still try to indulge every time

i go to bottega louie- vanilla + mocha are my top faves.

What's are some of your current fave things? why?

p.s trying to experiment more with my posts/photos...I've always loved writing on photos so I thought i'd start doing that on some of mine, let me know if you guys are digging it or not?

Send suggestions too!

Finally!! My second collaboration with the lovely Gabriela Artigas! This time we decided to make a statement piece that can be worn in different ways- the outcome? This amazing braided chain headband that can also be worn as a statement necklace! As someone who loves versatile pieces, I

love the idea of having this be a duo purpose piece, swoon!

We hope you guys love the piece just as much as our 'Knot' ring - which sold out! We will continue to work together and bring you guys pretty, fun pieces that will be long lasting!

We only made a small limited number of pieces so make sure to get yours here.

Also, click more to check out the new t-shirt design in two different color ways-

it's bold, cool and perfect for spring + summer!

Since it's been gloomy the last couple days in L.A, I thought I'd cheer up in some
color and embrace the chilly weather. Since spring is slowly
approaching too, I couldn't help but start stocking up on spring items especially
those with prints and color!
I've been diggin' Converse in my wardrobe/looks lately (worn in black here, white
here and studded here) and now these in Aruba blue from their Spring collection
-which will look so pretty with floral dresses!

Anyway, Polyvore can hook you up with some converse if you enter here.
Trust me you won't be disappointed with the prize!
Check out my collage below- two ways to style your converse!

Tried to do a lil' farmer's market shopping last tuesday but was a total fail. Half of the vendors that

are usually there on Tuesday were absent- my fave flower + fruit vendors and vintage sellers.

Left the market, completely disappointed...and a little cold (hence the jacket).

Fortunately, the weather has shifted between 85 to 90 degrees so I'm totally

excited to hit the beach!

What do you guys love to pick up at the farmer's market?

Thought I'd switch it up for today and post more artistic photos with inspirational

sayings that I love and believe in.

I always get so many emails about girls wanting to follow their dreams

but not knowing how to start.

the best advice I can give is to not be afraid to do what you love; just go out and get it. Be hungry.

It's so cliche but its so true- if at first you don't succeed, try again.. you will eventually get there.

Dream HUGE, take baby steps in working towards it and be passionate; don't let

no one (not even family/friends) tell you, you can't do it.

Hope you guys get inspired and believe in yourself!

(sorry for the cheesy-ness!)

I'm off to a fun video shoot later, will let you know more soon!

Converse 'Winter Glitz' and Alexander Wang 'Prisma' Tote

Ever since I first wore these converse here, I've gotten a huge amount of emails/comments

regarding where you guys can purchase them (till this day!).

I felt bad because I couldn't find them online too...finally found them this morning
online but they're sold out! Ah! I will definitely keep you guys up to date with
a link for when they're back on stock! Atleast now you know the style name since
many of you were asking! :)

They're definitely my go-to sneakers and

they go with pretty much anything! I love pairing them with my leather skinnies and leather

tote bag- something about that look/mix is so cool without having to try at all.

Off to do a fun shoot with Refinery29!

Just got back from a super fun (but cold) little getaway weekend in San Francisco in which we

celebrated one of my bff's birthday! On saturday we visited Napa Valley for some

wine tasting and to make things just a bit more fun, my friend rented a limo to take us there!

Such good times.

I thought these floral skinnies and amazing (and super comfy)

espadrielle-esque pumps would be the perfect combo to

wear to wine tasting! The scenery on each winery was breathtaking!

Can't wait to go back to SF- next time I gotta make sure to really bring weather

appropriate clothes.

Had a long day of wrapping orders from my webstore yesterday and dropping them off

at my local post office while also running many errands (including picking up a new shipment of

tees and dropping them off to my printing guy). Had to wind down a bit by

grabbing a bite to eat and getting in a quick shopping

fix at Zara. Had been eyeing these black heels for a while now so I was happy they

had my size; a classic must have.

On my way home, I had to pick up some macarons as a treat!

It was a goooood day.

How do you treat yourself after a long day?

Happy Wednesday!

Off to do an interview!

Coat: Daryl K (c/o Bib + Tuck/Forward Fashion Project ) // Dress (underneath): Funktional // Boyfriend jeans: Zara( cute ones here + here ) // Heels: Zara // Bag: Alexander Wang // Shades: Ray Ban // Belt: Vintage

Finally found the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans-

can totally check it off my 'staple items I need to get' now. whew!

They have the right amount of baggy-ness (without looking unflattering) and distresssed

details; I'm such a sucker for all things distressed.

Anyway, it was extremely windy this day

(it almost even knocked me over a few times...also hence my hair flying everywhere) so this

wool pancho-esque did the trick of keeping me warm.

I loved wrapping around a pretty vintage belt to accentuate my waist to pull the whole look

together!

ps- Don't forget to RSVP (RSVPLA@31philliplim.com) for the Refinery29 x 3.1 Phillip Lim

event I'm helping host tomorrow!

Invite is on my last post!

Hi guys!

Sorry for not posting yesterday- spent my whole day doing Jury Duty.

Luckily I didn't get called to be one of the jurors so I was dismissed..anyway, since I wasn't able

to shoot an outfit yesterday, I decided I'd do my Style Looks (it's been a while!). I always get emails asking to post about classic pieces that can be worn different ways!

Here I'm taking my fave piece: the military/parka jacket and styling it in 3 different ways.

First Look: Is a little more fun and daring; the jacket definitely pulls the outfit together. Play

up your printed trousers with a striped tee- its my fave look!

This outfit is perfect for attending an art exhibition or attending a cool party!

Second Look: This has 'Jules' written all over it! Totally my style- I think pairing dresses (fancy

or not) with sneakers is a lot cooler than wearing them with heels. Try it out with classic sneakers

like converse with your next dress outfit and you'll see (and feel) how effortlessly cool you'll look!

This outfit is perfect for a day of shopping with your girlfriends!

Third Look: This is a bit more put together but with an edge! Play with different textures/prints like leather to give your military jacket some edge! Add cool details like leopard or a studded belt for

the perfect touch!

This outfit is perfect for a lunch meeting followed by a dinner date!

Remember- the goal is to have your military jacket be the key piece..don't be afraid to mix and match!

Which style look is your favorite?
