What I Wore: Sporty Chic

dress: c/o 2b     /     sunglasses: c/o Wild Soul Sunglasses (Rhino frame)     /      bag: c/o Vans     /     sneakers: Converse

It's been a very, very long time since I have had a little chance to post and update about my daily outfits.  I have been quite busy and overwhelmed, that explains it all.   Above is a recent sporty chic outfit I decided to leave the house in.  I felt a little "sporty spice", a little 90's and a little tennis player.  Don't know how that happened but it did.  I love neon, but never really took time to think about the power of "neon".  Yes, everywhere I walked, people turned and stared.  

Excited to be back on here, miss ya all!

What I Wore: Fringe on Bottom

t-shirt: DIY cropped Hanes men's t-shirt     /     skirt: H&M      /       purse: c/o Vieta Handbags     /      shoes: c/o Sole Society      /     sunglasses: HOH 1960      /    earrings: c/o Vivienne Kelly     /     necklace: Shop LA Catrina     /     cuff: c/o Boera Jewelry 

Busy, no time (or money) to shop so what do I do?  I resort to my handy fabric scissors and grey men's Hanes t- shirt.  Yes, that is exactly how desperate I was the morning I was trying to put this outfit together.  I cut about six inches off from the bottom, rolled up the sleeves and tadaaa, I now have a basic grey tee which I am obsessed with.  I love wearing funky and bold jewelry, so this new "tee" serves as the perfect canvas for my beloved statement jewels.
p.s. I broke my " no earring rut" thanks to my amazing hand painted  Vivienne Kelly Jewelry wood earrings!

abrazitos,
Ari

Insta-Life: Out and About Spring

  
  

Above you will find a little mash up of my life currently.  Microbrew beer festivals at the horse races, spontaneous trips to Las Vegas Nevada to catch the (Mexican) man of all mans perform Mr. Vicenete Fernandez or as we like to call him Chente.  Quick strolls through Disneyland and California Adventure theme parks.  Styling gigs, selflie pictures, a couple of blog post missions, fun in the sun for the Long Beach Grand Prix and some Angels Baseball.  Yes, I am a jumbled busy mess my friends... and I like it!  All these images brought to you by the magic of Instagram and my beloved iPhone.  Yes, I am aware that I wrote in incomplete sentences and run-on sentences (my specialty!)

What I Wore: Mixing Textures

top: F21 (old)      /     skirt: H&M     /    cardigan: G-Stage (old)     /      purse: Steve Madden     /     necklace: c/o Shabana Khan Jewelry     /     shield ring and cuff bracelet: c/o Boera

I am and have always been an "accessory" girl.  Meaning that I love, adore and can't live without accessories.  Shoes, handbags, jewelry and sunglasses are my go-to.  I will usually make an accessory purchase before I purchase any other fashion item (actually anything else including gas!) However, as  of late I have noticed that I have been wearing the same accessories over and over and over.  My favorite jewelry pieces, favorite sunglasses, favorite purse and favorite shoes keep me happy, I guess the saying "If it's not broken, don't fix it" applies here.

I am looking forward to writing a little more from now on and getting a little more personal here on the blog.  Over the last year I have grown immensely in many ways and I am more than happy to share my random and good spirited thoughts.  I also want to share more on how my little journey to becoming a professional in the fashion industry is going.  I am nowhere near where I want to or intend to be at, but I at least (and finally) know that I am on the right track and one step closer.  If I can inspire just one person to follow the path they desire  then that makes me immensely happy because at the end of the day that is exactly what I am doing.... moving forward through all the obstacles that present themselves one step at a time.

What I Wore: Faux Leather Skater Skirt

  

tee: c/o Stray Heart    /    skirt: MADE fashion week for Macy's Impulse c/o Macys     /    shoes: Marc Fisher     /     bag: vintage     /     sunglasses: House of Harlow


Simple and girly in a faux leather skirt, dainty pointed pumps and a pony tail! I am having trouble transitioning from Winter to Spring mode, for some reason I can't get my spring groove back.... help.   A solution to that problem would be a little shopping spree, unfortunately that can't happen right now.  Hey, I guess I will have to have a little dress up session with my closet and make my current items work for Spring, don't worry I will share pictures!

What I Wore: Galactic

dress: c/o Zamrie    /    purse: Steve Madden (on sale here)    /    boots: Enzo Angiolini     /    sunglasses: HOH 1960

Totally in love with my Zamrie T-shirt dress.  For this look I dressed it down with tan booties and my everyday fringe purse.  Although, the look was casual it was still polished but "not trying to hard".  Stay posted to see how I dress up this beauty next!

What I Wore: Not Your Average White Tee

pleather tee: c/o MADE Fashion Week Collection for Macy's Impulse    /    jeans: c/o James Jeans    /    shoes: Marc Fisher    /   sunglasses: House of Harlow 1960

I am not one to opt for "simple" and "minimal".  However, this perfect white pleather tee from the Macy's MADE Collection was the perfect opportunity to make the switch.  The MADE collection was inspired by the New York fashion week scene and street style vibe.  I am very excited to share another piece from the collection in a future post!

Buen fin de semana amigos!
