Black, Black, and Denim at Tokyo Garden

An all black outfit always fits the occasion. I can either dress it up with a blazer, or throw on a denim jacket to make it a casual look. I went with the latter for a dinner date with alii and my favorite, little family: Daisy, Rudy, and my soon to be God daughter, baby Alessandra.








Since I styled this outfit with my Zara heels, I figured I'd put my hair up in a messy bun and wear a simple gold necklace for a more laid back feel. Perfect for the best sushi spot in Downey.

Outfit deets:

jacket, body suit, and necklace: Forever 21
shorts - H&M
shoes: Zara

A big thanks to Tee (@glam2thetee) for snapping some quick pics and of course, for the fab make up del dia.

Outfit Victory

Wore this outfit to grab a late lunch with my sister, Steph, in Long Beach. I purchased these vintage 80s shorts last year at a local thrift shop by my house and fell in love with the floral print. I originally intended to give them to Steph since they're more her steez, but I decided to keep them and try something new. They've been sitting in my closet since I bought them because I just could not figure out what top to pair with these shorts; finally, it dawned on me... My good ol' corset crop top. I've had it for years and it always gets me out of an outfit crisis. I can never go wrong with that baby.


On another note, Ale and I are leaving for Coachella tomorrow!!! Ahhh, we are so excited we get to experience it once again with all of our closest friends. We'll try to take lots of pics to share with all of you.











What I'm wearing:

top and purse: Forever21
shorts: vintage
jacket: Levi's
heels: Jessica Simpson

Viva!

Ahh, I've been so busy, I haven't been able to share my experience at Viva Las Vegas.  Never heard of it?  Well, imagine walking into a casino in Las Vegas in the 1950's... Swing music, pencil skirts, high waisted pants, boleros... Dapper looking men suited up like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra... Welcome to Viva Las Vegas!  Held at the New Orleans Hotel and Casino every year on Easter weekend, this event is definitely a go-to place for anyone who loves music of the 50's, vintage fashion, classic cars, and FUN.

This year, I was surrounded by an upbeat and welcoming crowd. I fell in love with sooo many outfits, especially at the car show on Saturday afternoon. I saw lots of one-of-a-kind, hard to come by pieces; even the replicas looked amazing. Check out some of the shots I snapped.












Oh, and I ran into the sweetest girl in the little girls' room that looked too adorable. Had to take a pic and share her look.



Not to mention, I saw Little Richie perform!  80 years old and all, the crowd loved him.

Hasta luego!

Beanies, Beanies, y mas Beanies!


It seems like the obsession with el beanie continues. We saw them rock the runway once again at this years' fashion week for fall 2013.

For a more edgy look, simply accessorize your outfit with a beanie. It's simple and comfortable. It's no surprise that they're still a prominent statement piece for both men's and women's fashion.

This is how I rocked my beanie this past weekend...
