Something I've learned as a fashion blogger is that fashion is more than luxurious outfits, expensive prices and owning every seasonal trend. Fashion comes naturally, it is about style and personality and it is about seeing beauty in every place you go.

Thankfully, the cold weather is slowly staying in the Valley which means it is time for layers! A preppy style will always look presentable even if you're just wearing a sweatshirt. Pick a bright color and play around with print layers. I love effortless casual looks that you can wear all day long for any type of occasion and just be yourself, the point is to have fun with it. 

Want to see when I wore this outfit? Check out my feature on Bronc TV here.

The Statement

T-shirt: Tahari / Belt: BCBGMaxazria / Skirt: NASTYGAL / Shoes: Louboutin

 I love how the weather starts changing from humid and hot to windy and fresh. To wear a formal-double layer skirt simply throw on a white T-shirt and a blazer on top. Since the print in the blazer is very eye-catching, I wanted to add a simple black belt to keep it simple instead of adding chunky accessories. Sometimes it is just about one statement piece. 

Love,

Street Beat: The Drowners


Earlier this year while living in NYC my friend took me to a concert to hear Skaters, a new indie band heavily promoted by Cory Kennedy, play at the Bowery Ballroom. Little did we know that two other bands were playing before them so since we had arrived there early we were able to watch their full sets. The first band was sort of meh but the second band not only delighted our ears but also our eyes (the four band members are INSANELY cute), this band was called The Drowners.

After doing a bit of digging I found out that this band has actually been around quite a while and I only wish I had discovered them earlier. The four members, Matt Hitt, Jack Ridley, Erik Snyder and David Rubin started the band in New York around two years ago and their main inspiration is The Smiths. While they have yet to release an album their song, Long Hair, will more than suffice for now.

 Take a listen below and let us know your thoughts! x
