There are two things about this outfit that I want to brag about.  First being my nails, I put these nail polish stickers on almost 3 weeks ago and no chips!  They've grown out though so I have to take it off... Still very impressed!  The second being the 8 dollar clearance blue wedges from Target.  I went in to drop off a prescription, I left with some awesome cheap shoes as well.  Nothing makes me happier than a good find!

I guess you can tell by my recent posts that I'm really into the cropped top/high waist bottom combo.  It allows me to get out of my conservative comfort zone without feeling insecure.  This shoulder bag is my "concert purse".  I love to take it to shows because it holds your must have items without it being bulky and cumbersome.  I hope you guys like it!

I'm looking forward to a weekend with next to no plans... It's been awhile since I've had one of those.  I know it's only Thursday but I'm already wishing for the weekend!  What are your plans?

Anyone who knows me can say that I'm a smart minded shopper.  While there are people who will save for months for one article, I tend to find a great deals and get many different things.  This is not one of those times :)

I have a good friend with great taste who gifted a few items to me for my birthday.  He shops at Neiman Marcus, therefore I was left like a kid in a fashion candy store picking the items I most wanted.  One of these items is this amazing Naven maxi skirt.  It has great flow and I just feel like a princess when I wear it.  I love the zipper in the back!  The other item is this delicate 525 America white tank top.  I feel like you can do anything with this top, plus, it's not completely sheer. 

I also scored these amazing Bestey Johnson bow spiked leopard booties over the weekend.  While their stores may be closing, I got a fantastic deal (and the last pair in the store)!  What do you think?

I hope you had an amazing Memorial Day weekend.  I spent mine going to delicious restaurants, BBQ's, and I had the chance to go on Transformers the ride at Universal Studios.  It was insane!  Did you do anything fun?  I want to hear it!

Dreaming of Mermaids

 Dress- Threadsence

Cardigan- Foreign Exchange

Shoes- Forever 21

Bracelet- Gift

Necklace- Forever 21

Last night I had a dream that I was swimming in the sea like a mermaid.  Maybe it was because I knew this dress from Threadsence was coming in the mail today.  Maybe it was because I am also expecting a super awesome mermaid t-shirt from City and Sea.  Either way, it inspired me to wear this outfit.

Unfortunately, I am always cold.  Anything under 80 degrees calls for a sweater.  I really wanted to pair this delicate cardigan with this dress because it adds texture (and warmth!) to this outfit. 

I'm excited to go out with my sister for her birthday.  Since she spends her time jet setting around the world, we hardly have the time to get together.  We decided to get dressed up and go out for sushi and drinks.  I'm thinking maybe I should wear this :)

Time For Polka

Cardigan- Siddeca (old)

Top- Foreign Exchange

Skirt- Windsor

Shoes- Zara

Belt- Urban Outfitters

Wallet- Old

Ring and brooch- Forever 21

I have been waiting for the perfect day to wear this skirt.  I actually wore it at my anniversary dinner earlier this month but I really felt that a high waist skirt needs to be paired with a cropped top.  While I don't own any, I just tied up one of my basic tops and I loved the way it looked.  This skirt really is the epitome of my style: classic, girly, and chic.  What do you think?

Oh, I am officially growing out the bangs.  If I have some funky hairdos these next few posts, you now know why :)

California Summer

Skirt- Forever 21

Shoes- Steve Madden

Clutch- Betsey Johnson

Necklace- Gift

Ring- Forever 21

Summer is officially in full swing here in Los Angeles.  The heat is almost unbearable, I attended my first BBQ of the summer yesterday, and my winter clothes are on their way back to my storage unit (yes, the closets in my place can't even hold all my clothes... it's a sickness).  While I have yet to put on a swimsuit, I feel the urge to slap one on and high tail it to the beach.  Anyone want to come with?

Just letting you all know my brother is doing well and is finally recovering at home!  This past week was super stressful and I'm so thankful to all of you for the well wishes.
