Rockin' in Jacquard

Hey lovely people!

I styled my current favorite jacquard platform heel sandal from Nine West and wanted to share with you the three different ways I rocked them! Note: If not familiar with the term jacquard, it is simply a design that is incorporated into the weave of a fabric instead of printing or dying it. Jacquard designs are intricate with design repeats usually but not limited to that of paisley or floral. I always say it reminds me of the Elizabethan Era where brocades and damask were displayed amongst the nobility's daily wardrobe. Here are some examples of jacquard designs:

Straying away from the conventional paisley and floral design, the jacquard fabric on these heels displays really lovely gold feathers.

Outfit 1

Top: ZARA Bottom: Levi's

How simple do I think this can get? As simple as the sun's light seeping through my  window every morning and directly or indirectly kissing my skin, introducing me to another day. The use of black seems to always be an easy task for me (says everyone else in the world) and to add a little sass I'd only need a splash of color. Cheers to another all black outfit with a touch of gold. 

Outfit 2

Top: ZARA Bottom: Thrifted Bongo Jeans

IDK about you but loose-fitted denim jeans + heels is a favorite of mine. & what I had in mind for this outfit was street meets office. The shirt and the heels are office elements, and the high-waisted denim gives it a street casual kind of touch. Is this a thing? It is now! 

Outfit 3

Top: ZARA Bottom: Anthropologie

This last outfit was probably the most comfortable for me. I've had this black tube top for a while now. One thing about me is that I really enjoy wearing strapless tops or dresses. I think revealing the shoulder is sexy without being excessive. & to finish it off I chose these red bottoms to help accentuate the gold on the heels.

Which outfit is your favorite?

BTS Photoshoot

Yvette and I were on a quest to find the right photos for our youtube channel so we got a good photographer friend of ours to help us with that problem! Watch our quick fun behind the scenes footage right above! 

Pre-Spring Feels

It is finally up! Yes, these contents have been cookin' in my photo album for about a month now. Excited for you guys to watch the video and see the photos.

Let's talk Pre-Spring! This ensemble was easy and effortless. Great for the cloudy California days when the clouds make its dramatic appearances right before Spring! 

This solid army green cargo vest definitely provides a spring feel. Very light weight in the fabric and easy to pair with a lot of things from florals, to geometric prints, and solid colors.

  In this instance I didn't want to go for a full on spring feel just yet so I stayed away from florals and bright colors. It was a cloudy and breezy day by the beach, so I paired it with a two layered black dress. The inner layer fell as short as the reach of my fingertips with a low V-neckline in the front (right below) and a very low U-neckline in the back (watch video). The sheer outer layer of the dress fell as low as my ankles with a slit on the left and right side. The slits on the dress matched perfectly with the slits on the vest. So as the gust of wind hits me off sometimes (Pharrell reference) the garment doesn't feel heavy and baggy. 

Let's now talk booties! They're my favorite!! In love with these pair of shoes that I got from Zara a year and a half ago!  Black booties are a must have! These particular ones are embellished with buckles that are detachable so I have a choice of wearing them plain and solid. 

Fun Fact:

The beautiful and gorgeous model Gigi Hadid owns a pair. 

Lastly, I grabbed this authentic leather bag pack that was created by the talented Natalie Hemmens. Click the photo right above if you want to see more of her leather goods!
