Outfit Inspiration: Denim & Lace

I saw this outfit on Pinterest and automatically fell in love with the look of denim and lace paired together. I just love how feminine, romantic and casual these two pieces look combined; not to mention, it's a great spring/summer outfit and super easy to put together. I'll definitely be trying out this outfit. All I need is the lace skirt and I'm set.

Navy + Green

I promise you this blazer is actually navy and not black. I was on the lookout for a navy blazer for sometime as it is a staple of my "work wear." My only other navy blazer was completely worn out from all its use and had to go, but thankfully I found this blazer on SALE at Nordstrom Rack for only $9 (it was originally $62...what a bargain, right?)! Not only was this blazer incredibly inexpensive BUT it is also incredibly comfortable and this is no exaggeration. It literally feels like I'm not even wearing a blazer and that makes it a true winner.

Trend I'm Loving: Animal Graphic Sweaters

I don't know what it is about an animal's face on a sweater but I'm loving it. I'm a huge animal lover but never once in my life did I ever want a sweater with an animal on it. I just think they're so cute and add a little extra something to a sweater. No matter what the animal-- cat, dog, bird, fox-- I like them all. Below are some of my picks. The fox and bulldog sweater are my absolute favorite.

Chambray + Polka Dots (+ Breaking Dawn)

So, just as I'm getting back into the swing of blogging and posting consistently, my laptop charger BROKE! Now, seeing as I have an ancient laptop (from 2005), I can't just run to the store and buy a new one. So while I search online, order a new charger and wait for it to be shipped to me, I probably won't be posting as frequently BUT I will try to find ways to do so.

In other news, this is the outfit I wore to the midnight premiere of Breaking Dawn. Now, now, I'm not a'twihard' or even a big fan of the saga but I've watched all the movies so I thought "Why give up on the last one? I'll just watch it." And let me tell you, I was impressed! The beginning of the movie was rather cheesy but the last half towards the end made up for it (it was a nail biting experience), and the ending was sweet.

Did you watch Breaking Dawn this weekend?

Floral Shorts + Red Heart

Even though it's technically fall/autumn, it sometimes feels more like a hot summer day in Southern California with temperatures being in the high 90's. The only good thing about this is that I get to wear my favorite floral shorts. I bought these at Forever 21 two years ago and I still love them; one reason is because they are incredibly comfortable. I like to pair them with a simple top to make the shorts the focal point of the outfit. And to top it off, I wore my heart necklace that I purchased from the 'happiest place on earth', Disneyland!

Burgundy + Stripes

I figured I'd add a new section to my blog and start including 'outfit of the day' posts (just to make it a bit more personal). Now, I don't have a great quality camera or iPhone/smartphone so my little Samsung Brightside phone will do for now. For today's outfit I'm wearing my all-time favorite shirt. I probably wear this top more than I should but that's because I LOVE stripes and I love the boat neck/classic look of this top.
