Coast is Clear
It's no secret that lucite accessories have been all the rage this past spring and summer. Personally I am a total fan of lucite accents in fashion...especially lucite heels on shoes! A great lucite shoe is kind of like a mullet...business in the front and party in the back! There's only a minor difference between the two...lucite heels are awesome and mullets aren't so much lol. But who am I to judge. Maybe I'll look back at my blog one day and ask what the heck I was thinking with these clear heels of mine. But at the moment, I am adoring this trend!
I actually purchased my first pair of clear-heeled shoes about 3 years ago and people either thought they were the most amazing things ever or just super tacky. With the help of the big designers and their fabulous runway shows, these babies have become more socially acceptable. To be honest, it's not like I cared if people liked my taste in shoes or not but it's just fun to see other ladies (other than hookers) struttin' around in clear heels too lol.
For this look, I paired one of my latest lucite shoe purchases with a color blocked blouse and some gray snake printed shorts. The snake print along with the clear heel are pretty subtle details that add a whole lot of fun and excitement to the neutral colored outfit. I finished off the look with some simple accessories, which included a long Vanessa Mooney silver chain and earrings, and a Luv AJ caged cuff.

Nailed it!
Color-block Denim Shorts: Joe's Jeans (also on the blog here)
Leather Purse: Miu Miu 'Cloquet Nappa Leather Top-handle Bag' in Ink Blue (similar here)
Shoes: UGG 'Luella' Heeled Sandals (here)
Rings: Tom Tom 'Pyramid Spike' and "Chevron Mini' (here and here)
Nails: by me
I'm a huge fan of painting my own nails because why should I pay someone else to do my nails when I can probably do as good a job as them or even better? Plus...I got the Asian gene and I'm just naturally that good lol. In all seriousness, I think I did an awesome job on my nails this time around and I'm proud enough to really show them off! As much as I love them, I don't think they really compliment my outfit very well but it is what it is.
I consider this look a bit of a classier causal look because the blouse is just really cute and dainty with the tiny bow details on the pocket and the girly ruffles on the sleeves. And my nails probably look better with an edgier look, which I typically reserve for the nighttime when I let my inner badass really come out hahaha.
Since I headed to lunch with a friend, I opted for more of a daytime outfit. I paired this girly For Love & Lemons top with some denim shorts, my UGG heeled sandals, and my brand new but old Miu Miu purse (I've had this purse for awhile but it's been tucked away in it's box because I tend to abuse my handbags and this was one of the first designer purses I actually bought all on my own with my hard earned grownup money).
Side note - I'm not really a fan of UGGs but let me just tell you...these are some of the comfiest heeled sandals ever. I feel like I could walk a million miles in them. Plus I think these heels were pretty cute, which is a nice change for the brand. They were actually cute, comfy AND they didn't have fur in them! I remember when even their sandals had fur...who wears sandals with fur?!?! Ayayay! Unless it's used solely in your private home, I don't think it's acceptable to own them!!! Just kidding...kind of. Anyway, I hope you all had a great start to your weekend! Have fun and stay safe!

Color-Block Party
When it came to getting dressed for dinner and a friend's birthday party, I was feeling a bit lazy and uninspired due to the hot weather. Then I luckily came across this beautiful silk color-blocked dress in my closet by Staple the Label. It was perfect because I was looking for something I didn't have to style much, that would keep me cool, and that was still cute and trendy. This dress was the obvious winner for the night.
Staple the Label is probably one of my favorite Australian brands because their clothes are so simple and relaxed, but also chic and stylish. They start with a basic and tweak it a bit to keep it fresh and new. They play with the silhouettes, colors, and hemlines, which makes their basics more unique and fun.
Like I said, I didn't have to style it much. All I really did was add a vintage Versace belt to accentuate my waist and add some accessories to complete the look. As for my hair, I did something a little more special than just my usual topknot. I braided it and then made a bun hahaha (I have to be the laziest person when it comes to hair). My hair is so difficult to manage because it's so thick and heavy. The only way I know how to beat the heat is by throwing it up and plopping it on top of my head. Anybody have any tips or summer hairstyles for long thick hair? I need help!!!!

Party Animal
There's been a lot of celebrating in my life lately. Celebrating birthdays, new beginnings, and life in general. I wore this outfit to one of my best friend's boyfriend's surprise birthday party, which was way too wild and crazy. I don't remember having that much fun or that much to drink since college haha. I snapped these shots before I headed out to Pasadena to hide behind a couch cushion for an hour or so (since the birthday boy was running late lol). My beastly pomeranian, Milo, decided to join me and pose for the camera too. I guess Milo and I are just a couple of party animals...
