Dash of Pink

Joe Fresh sweater (on sale for only $10!) / Black skinny pants / Armani Exchange jacket (similar) / Nordstrom scarf / Forever 21 beanie / Uniqlo socks / Nike sneakers / Balenciaga bag

Did you remember when I colored my hair pink before ringing in the New Year? It seemed like forever ago, but I decided to color my hair pink for 2016. I've always wanted to try pink hair but I couldn't do it since I worked at a conservative environment. So because it was the new year and new adventures, I figured why not just do it. It'll wash off it I don't like it.

Surprisingly, after dying my hair pink, it gave me a boost of confidence. It's funny how a little change can make such an impact. For some reason, it almost like having my hair pink was a slightly different me. I had a different attitude, and I suddenly had a different outlook on life. I don't know if it was just the dye getting into my pores or something, but it was a good thing.


For this outfit, my hair is part of the accessory. The pink stands out and brightens up my monochromatic look. It also slightly matches my socks :). By the way, these socks were amazing when it was freezing cold outside. They definitely kept my toes warm. I can't really speak too much about being cold when we've been getting spring weather lately, but I'm a California girl. Anything below 50°F is cold by standard.

Light Trench Coat

Long sleeve crop top / Faux leather skirt / Urban Outfitters trench coat (similar) / Knee high boots / Proenza Schouler bag / H&M blanket scarf

I'm still feeling under the weather, but thank you for the suggestions on my latest Instagram post for home remedies for a sore throat and well wishes. I'm feeling a little better now, but still a little congested.



Here's how I'd style a light draped trench jacket for spring with a faux leather skirt and a long sleeve cropped top. I really like how this trench jacket is light-weight with a loosely drapes on my body. It's a very versatile piece to wear on it's own or layered.

Sick Day

Forever 21 t-shirt dress / Long hooded cardigan / Distressed skinny pants / Rag & Bone boots / H&M scarf / Baublebar necklace / Karen Walker sunglasses / Balenciaga Bag

Hello! This post is going to be short since I barely woke-up from my third nap of the day (and it's only 1 in the afternoon). I've been just spending so much time with my bed last night and today. It's kind of a bummer being sick especially since 80 something degrees outside right now. I almost just want to power through and hang outside, but my throat is killing me.

Aside from my frequent naps, I've been drinking plenty of hot tea which is some what helping my throat. I just feel a little helpless and useless when I'm sick. Because when I'm sick, I'm out of commission for awhile. And it doesn't help when the weather is beautiful outside. 
So this is probably not the ideal outfit in this weather right now, but if you're sick like me, all I really want to do is bundle up. Despite the 80 something degree weather outside, I'm a little chilly. So it's nice to have a long cardigan with a hood on so I can just snuggle with it. 


Anyway, I hope you're enjoying President's Day if you have it off today. And if you're in LA, I hope you're taking advantage of this gorgeous, summer weather in February. I'm going to have to go to bed again in a bit to sleep off this sore throat.

Sequined Blazer

GAP sequined blazer / James Perse t-shirt / Rich & Skinny jeans (similar, 25% off with code PRES) / Vans slip-on (currently marked down 40% off)

Here's one of things that I found recently in my closet. I almost forgot about this pretty blush-toned sequined blazer, so I decided to bring it back for an outfit post. However, this sparkly blazer is currently up for grabs and listed on Poshmark for anyone who is interested. Since this is such a sparkly piece, I wanted to dress it down a little bit by pairing it with super soft tee, my distressed boyfriend jeans, and my Vans slip-on.

I like how this blazer is very light-weight and I can easily throw it on if I want to look a little more put together even though the rest really isn't. 




Sometimes you just have to find out creative ways to make a piece in your closet versatile. Just because it looks like it should only be worn for a certain occasion doesn't mean you should only wear it for that certain occasion. But with that said, I almost completely forgot I even had this number until I recently purged my closet. One of my goal this year is to get a better handle of what I have in my closet.

Like I mentioned earlier, this blazer is up for grabs on Poshmark for anyone who is interested. It's in a size small and it has a loose baggy fit. Since I've been on a mission to down-size my closet, I'm currently letting go of pieces that I've only worn a handful of times (but are in almost new or excellent condition). Check out the rest my closet to see what else I have listed!

Hope you all have a nice Valentine's/Galentine's/Single Awareness Day tomorrrow... however you're celebrating it.

NYX Cosmetics Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks (Review & Swatches)

As promised from my last beauty post, a product review! If you haven't seen my latest video yet, I did a first impressions and swatch video on these NYX Cosmetics Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks. You can watch my reactions as I apply these liquid lipstick one by one for the first time. This is a more in depth review after I've worn and tried it out for a few days. I'm also providing photos of me wearing these liquid lipsticks on this post (so you can see how they photograph as well).

Before I begin, I also just want to mention that I almost forgot how much time it takes to draft a product review (from taking photos, writing this post, etc.), especially if it involves swatches. I quickly realized this as soon as I started working in this post. It's been awhile since I've done a beauty product review, but after working this one out, I think I figured out a method. But, it made me appreciate other beauty bloggers who does this on the daily. I mean, just swatching 12 different lip colors was a feat itself.
