happy monday! if you were lucky enough to be in eastern asia to texas yesterday, you were able to see the solar eclipse! unfortunately, the marine layer didn't give us a better picture (and our camera had limited capabilities), but it was pretty amazing! evidently, at its fullest the moon blocked out 83% of the sun here in san diego! have a fabulous day! xx

happy wednesday, everyone! 

i've been looking for a military jacket and the above version by anthropologie is a fantastic feminine alternative without a collar and with its sweater knit detail in the back. because of the sweater knit panel, i love that this jacket breathes. when it's warmer out, i can wear a tank underneath, roll up the sleeves, and still feel comfortable. 

the jacket off-sets the loud tone of the simple neon yellow shirt and the outfit is balanced by my brown bag and sandals. and yes, i do live in mini skirts these days. today, it's white. :) earth tones with a little neon punch, comfortable, and simple. 

what do you think of military jackets. xx

bougainvilleas




dress: ophelia (from fancesca's collections). shoes: j. crew (great selections here). bag: lv. jewelry: anthropologie, gucci, wilkins(and)olander (gift from mother in law), gifts from husband and handmade by aunt.

happy monday! i hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! as i've discussed in a previous post, i've been inspired by mango's summer catalogue lookbook, discussed herei wore this yesterday and just love the simplicity of this white lace shift dress. i wore it with a few of my turquoise jewelry (given to me as gifts :) along with few colorful ones. turquoise jewelry can go with most outfits and pairing it with white makes the outfit have a cool pop. it's not too loud, but just right....on the other hand, bougainvillea flowers are the opposite; they make a loud pop, but enough to add a little sunshine to your day! have a monday and rest of the week! thanks for reading. xx

much of what we wear or want to wear are based on feelings and how they make us feel. when we look at ourselves in the mirror while trying on dresses or what not, buying that piece is based on how we feel in it. if we feel good in it, then we look good in it. if we don't feel good in it, then we think that we don't look good in it. it's our perception. and that's ok because we have to feel good in what we wear. and then there's the perception of others about what we're wearing, which could be very different from ours...but that's another topic for later, because what really matters is our own perception. right? or is it?

for me, color is a huge factor in determining whether i like something or not. for example, i love the color red so our front door is red. for me, it's such an attractive color that it enlivens me to go inside. it's an inviting first impression of our house...but i digress. as for my outfit. mint is still my favorite color this season and love the soft ruffly texture of this top! it's simple, refreshing, calming... AND it looks good on my skin tone! a big plus! it's like white, but in color. what's your go-to color this season?

have a wonderful wednesday! thanks for reading! xxx


p.s. i had to include the outtakes because let's face it. sometimes they're just more fun! ;)

life's a beach

skirt: madewell (similar). top: forever 21. sandals: tory burch (similar). sunnies: ray ban. armswag: borrowed from friend

happy monday! hope everyone had a lovely weekend! as mentioned earlier, one of my best friends came down to visit for the day so we went to the beach. considering it was cinco de mayo, it was busier than i thought it would be. it was such a beautiful day and by the late afternoon, people were barbecuing in their cottages. don't you just love the delicious smell of food cooking on the barbecue? one of my favorites is barbecued corn! 

about this outfit, i love the color of this madewell skirt and just simply paired it with a thin white top. my tory burch sandals feel like i'm not even wearing them...so much so that you really can't even see them from the pictures. ha! i also wore it here. it's too bad, my bathing suit top didn't really show, but i'll take another picture of it and post it later...
