The transition to sunnier days is a calling to throw on flowy, chiffon pieces - one of my favorite types. Also, I couldn't help myself. The ombré is back but more subtle this time around. The kimono jacket is actually from Forever 21's lingerie collection with DIY lace trims by the talented swellmayde that I won in her giveaway! I'm so drawn to the lacey details that gives just the right amount of texture besides its floral counterpart.

Can't ever get tired of kimono jackets especially when they're the easiest way to dress up the basics for those lazy days.

Tunnel Vision

(Forever21 denim bustier, Urban Outfitters top and pleated skirt, Zara heels)

Didn't mean to appear like the little girl who make a cameo in a horror sequence but this tunnel was a pathway to access right where the barely there river flows in Los Angeles. I layered the bustier to avoid the Coachella vibe and to take on a more everyday-wear-approach. Plus I don't feel comfortable wandering around feeling so exposed with a meager piece of fabric in the first place! 

Every girl needs basic black heels and Zara does it again with ones that are sleek and a comfortable 3 inches. A necessity if you're like me and have trouble walking in heels.

Thanks for reading! :)

Ballerina

CHVRCHES - The Mother We Share

( Dress from Crossroads Trading, Deandri Olga Wedges, Spiked Collar ) 

Apologies for the lack of a more cohesive scenery for the set of photos. It's my fault for being such a sucker for abandoned, middle of nowhere places that I always feel obligated to stop and snap away. 

Yes, my ombré is gone. 

I chopped off several inches but gained those inches back vertically in my amazing, 

extremely comfortable Olga wedges.

Anyway, I guess this is how I would imagine if ballerina fashion were to ever to cross paths with street style.

I don't know if it's good luck but I always manage to find the best dresses at Crossroads Trading. The peter pan collar and lace details really bring forward all the charm a basic dress needs. I have a weird tendency to always make sure my overall outfit isn't too dainty so I threw on a spiked headband for a minimal toughening act.

The Last Royals - Friday Night

( H&M mustard cardigan, American Apparel denim top, Buffalo Exchange faux leather oxblood shorts, Oxfords from a local New York boutique, Ebay collar tips)

After grabbing coffee in the hip cutesy Silver Lake district in Los Angeles, I managed to quickly capture these moments before the sun disappeared. Feeling accomplished that I'm carrying out my New Year's resolutions to incorporate more color into my wardrobe, I'm channeling a bit of the hues of the LA sunset. Now if only I can have the same amount of control to stop scouring endlessly on eBay, although it has led me to treasures like the skull collar tips I'm sporting.
