Dark Horse

(BCBGeneration Basic Tank | Persun Mall Blouse | Marc by Marc Jacob Watch | Givenchy Bracelet | Ivanka Trump Boots)

Even though Spring is already here, my wardrob has yet to ditch the black and white monochromatic theme. Oh well, might as well ride it out while it lasts! Although its a bit warmer here now, its not a bad idea to keep a light button up or flannel with you at all times as the temperature drops at night. I often use this cute zebra printed button up gifted from my friends over at Persun Mall as a cover-up after dark. Recently, I've also been obsessed with the Baker Watch from Marc by Marc Jacobs. I love how flat the setting is and  how minimalistic the design is! Have you guys switched on over to your Spring wardrobe yet?

Huntington Library

(Tobi Dress | Kimchi Blue Lace Kimono | BCBGeneration Booties | Marc by Marc Jacobs Bag)

Hi Dear Readers! Hope everyone has had a great winter vacation. While mine consisted mostly of foodie adventures with friends and sleeping in, I was finally able to visit the Huntington Library with le boyf right before having to go back to work. Although I've grown up in this city all my life, its crazy how I've never actually visited the Garden/Museum. If anyone is in the LA area you guys should definitely check it out. As for my attire that day, we were lucky enough for it to be 73 degrees and sunny (stay warm my mid-west/east coast friends). Thus, I was able to throw on this simple slip dress from Tobi and my new favorite lace kimono snagged from Urban Outfitters (on sale too!). Happy New Year guys!

FORTUNE

(Forever 21 Top | Zara Heels and Skort | Marc by Marc Jacob Bag | Michael Kors Watch)

Yes its the infamous Zara heels and skort thats been floating around the blogosphere for quite some time now. Decided to pair them together in this monochromatic combo! There is something about all black with a pop of gold that instantly makes you feel more bad-ass dont ya think?

Just The Two of Us

(Nobi Top | Zara Pants & Heels | Marc by Marc Jacobs Watch and Cross Body Bag)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Weekend! Sported this semi saucy fit for the warm weather. Loved the back of this top and my new MJ crossbody. I have been searching for the perfect one and when I stumbled upon this one I knew it was IT! Enjoy this rendition of "Just the Two of Us" by Urban Zakapa!

Oh Snap!

( Forever 21 Jacket & Tank Top | Gifted Beanie | Dailylook Leggings | Steve Madden Boots | Michael Kors Bag | Marc Jacobs Watch)

When stumbling upon this fun tank top, what is there not to like? Its got a crocodile on it with an open back! I've definitely learned to love dressing more age appropriate and I've grown to love heels, but street style is definitely my roots. I was also gifted this bunny beanie a while back from a wonderful coworker as a souvenir from Taiwan. Sported this comfortable outfit while going to a japanese cooking class with my friend mintgreen! Welcome back from KOREA! Afterwards we wondered around the streets of little tokyo and snapped these photos. Excited to be blogging more with her back!

Double Crossed

(Forever 21 Sweater & Cross Shirt & Bag | Marc Jacobs Watch | MyHotShoes Spiked Wedges)

Can a girl have too many crosses and studs in an outfit? Perhaps not! Love pairing this cross jumper with my cross button up underneath. I've also been wearing the crap out of this Marc by Marc Jacobs watch that I received as a gift from le boy. Not to mention these awesome studded detailed wedges courtesy of MyHotShoes! Hope everyone has had a blast keeping up with all the NY Fashion Week updates from different bloggers, I know I have! (Still on my bucket list to attend!)
