Tresure Hunt


Memorial Day weekend is one of the best weekends to get away and RELAX! My family and I decided to head out to Palm Springs, CA: the infamous get away for Los Angeles natives. The weather was perfect and all the relaxing gave me a sun-kissed glow. One of the nights I decided to test my lucks at Spa Resort and Casino and ended up finding a treasure chest and a pirate! ;)

Nasty Gal has Starlet Nights


 Nasty Gal has Starlet Nights
Every morning I wake up, get ready, and check my email before I head to work. I usually have a billion promotional emails to sort through and I end up opening up all the fashion related emails. Yes, this puts me behind on responding to emails that are ACTUALLY important, but keeping up with trends and knowing what sales are happening are important too! Today I came across Nasty Gal's new lookbook for a 1950's inspired summer wardrobe, and each piece instantly became my new obsession for the summer. Nasty Gal gives you the whole look for such affordable prices while looking fashion forward and unique.

Wedding Diaries: House Hunting





Here's a sneak peak of our backyard....


Searching for a new home is no easy task. Searching for a new home within a budget is mission impossible. My fiancé and I have been on the search for a place to call our own since early December. We debated on location, property types, and even contimplated on moving out of state. Feeling road blocked and overwhelmed, I decided to leave the finding of our new home in the hands of destiny. I knew this sounded delusional, superstitious, and a bit silly, until I got an email notification from Trulia. It was perfect! A quaint, isolated penthouse condo nestled between Studio City and Hollywood Hills, that completed all our requirements. After a long time of waiting we just got the keys, now time for remodeling!

American Salon_ Sebastian Hair Products




During the last semester of my senior year at Woodbury University, we were given an amazing opportunity with Sebastian Professional. They sorted through our senior collection to choose one outfit that would be featured in their new Ad campaign for American Salon. I was fortunate enough to have both my garments chosen for the photo shoot. Here is the behind-the-scenes screen shot!

I hope you enjoy!

Nasty Gal #GIRLBOSS


Fashion mastermind, Sophia Amoruso, just launched a new book call #GIRLBOSS. The book is promised to highlight Amoruso's path from rags to riches. Today I had the privilege to be part of her book tours Q&A at Barnes and Nobles. Honest yet shy Amoruso was interviewed by Nicole Richie on her journey to success and how she remains GIRLBOSS. It was such a great experience to hear Amoruso explain her path of building one of the largest fashion empires, Nasty Gal. I am looking very forward to reading the book and so should you!

P.S. How awesome is my friend Marae's braided hair-do! Check out her blog Areyoublindedbymysparkle.tumblr.com

Woodbury University Fashion Show 2014

 

          Woodbury University held their annual Fashion Show last Thursday night. The fabulous event was held at Club Nokia in LA Live. The show highlighted design works of Sophomores, Juniors, and ofcourse the graduating Seniors. The Sophomores presented a beautiful collection of digital print swimwear with neoprene coverups. The Juniors designed a street style collection based off a certain city in Los Angeles. Lastly, each Senior student presented a collection which dramatically represented their individuality and creativity.

Woodbury's costume design program organized a theatrical presentation of 'Alice in Wonderland.'

As a former Fashion graduate from Woodbury University, it was very exciting to be present at the show. It was wonderful seeing the continuous development of Woodbury's fashion program and their positive influence over students.

Here is a sneak peak of some photos...

Mother's Day in Malibu





Is there a better way to spend Mother's Day other than at the beach? Malibu's weather was absolutely wonderful today. Gladstones Restaurant in Malibu is a local favorite and is popular not only for its food but for its amazing location. I sported this beach-side look for amazing prices from H&M.

Top was only $29.95 
Pants: $12.95 (be careful they run small)

Night @ The Redburry



Fun night at The Redburry Hotel in Hollywood. The hotel's old Hollywood glamour was ideal for a photoshoot. I topped my fringe Urban Outfitters skirt with over an American Apparel leotard. In order to conceal the skirt's waistline and make the outfit look like a one-piece, I used a decorative BCBG belt. Lastly, I wore my Schutz spike shoes to match my belt.

Ani Diaries: Prom

Prom
     People (especially girls) dream about their prom almost their whole lives. This is the day where they get to be princesses and have Prince Charming escort them all throughout the night. My prom passed and although it was not at all what I had imagined, I still had fun. If prom hasn't passed for you, I have some great tips on what to wear and how to accessorize for your magical day.
