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!

Basic Ombre

(H&M Ombre Top | Michael Kors Bag & Watch | Zara Heels)
A perk of being in Southern California is the endless sun, and oh yeah, Disneyland. As to why I decided to wear a 3/4 sleeve in 100 degree weather I must admit, kind of a mistake! However, its always nice to effortlessly throw on an ombre top + shorts and not look like I'm prepping for an ultra lazy Sunday. My trip to the theme park was lovely as Ellen from Mintgreensubmarine came back for a week to visit El Lay. These heels from Zara are also my new favorite pair of work heels. It was a happy weekend, how could you not be happy at DISNEYLAND RIGHT?

Let Me Be Your Muse

 (Soft Serenade Dress Courtesy of Sugarlips | Forever 21 | Michael Kors Watch & Bag)

After a long day of work, a few friends and I were able to catch up over dinner and tea with my fellow blogger buddy who was visiting home from Korea! This amazing dress courtesy of Sugarlips was perfect for both occasions. Sophisticated enough for work and casual enough for a laid back meal. I can also say that no other dress has fit me quite as perfect as this one. Its V-neck line drapes perfectly across without showing too much, not to mention providing a flowing breeze from our hundred degree weather! Hope everyone had an amazing weekend!
