spring colors
I’m totally rejoicing in the pleasant cool-down so I can get more wear out of this elegant, spring-time Jill Stuart coat; the marigold nearly matches anything and adds a spring-y dimension to all looks. I wore this non-stop during my trip to SF last month and during most cooler nights of early Spring, so I’ve probably been exasperatedly labeled as this girl wearing freakin yellow...

floral short suit
One fact about myself: I’m a total 90s chick. I’m obsessed with 90s supermodels, fashion, music, and its cool, laidback, and dgaf vibes. So the inspiration for today’s look with this digitally-printed floral short suit comes from the epic Versace campaigns of the 90s. They are so eclectic and full of vibrancy, color, and most of all fun. So I piled on the heavy gold and made...

retro print
Thank you rain and cold for going away so I can actually dress up again. There’s something about the cold that eliminates all styling prowess and assumes jeans and sweater are the way to go. I’m terrible at dressing for the cold; I have no idea how to layer or look remotely cute trying (thankfully there are plenty of ladies on the blogosphere for constant inspiration, see Kristen and...

brewery art walk
A couple weekends ago, Kyle and I visited the Brewery Art Walk, housed in an abandoned brewery that has since turned into a grand hub of studios and envious artist lofts. It was my first Art Walk in LA, so it was a super fun experience seeing the weird, the cool, and the trippy, like this 3D walk-through pictured above. The paint was made for 3D so with 3D glasses, you’re literally walking...

Aldo Recap + Giveaway
I hope everyone is having a great Cinco De Mayo weekend! I had an amazing time in Las Vegas hosting the grand re-opening of Aldo in the Miracle Mile Shops of Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The store was completely revamped with fuller and more eye-catching displays, bright pops of color, and interactive screens to shop more Aldo online. It completely captured the fun, young, and positive...

party at Aldo
From L-R: Preen x Aldo Musilova, Earlene, Preen x Aldo Pravda, Rosetta It’s a throwback Thursday! I have to give an ode to one of my old friends, a longstanding spot of shopping with gal pals while gossiping and finding the cutest things, Aldo. Aldo has been always been a shopping staple in our lives whenever you’d hit the mall for that R&R, because you can always trust to find...

lacy neutrals
So this BCBG lace bralette and skirt was my first outfit at Coachella, sans jacket because of the ridiculous but expected desert heat. I didn’t document it at the time, but I knew I’d be wearing this many times over for the summer to come. The lace skirt is a great throw-on piece for the season; it’s complete with a classic, preppy A-line shape updated with a simple pleats and a...

You may not yet know about my obsession with The Reformation, but just know that it’s there. Check out this sustainable, eco-friendly brand that repurposes vintage and surplus materials to create killer chic clothes. Their dresses are to die for and I can boldly say that their dresses perfectly speak my ideal style. I found an all black Fauna Dress from their sample sale last week (which...

summer classics
I pulled out an old, recurring summer staple from my closet - my chambray Motel romper, one of few pieces that I know will last in my wardrobe for years to come. I love it for its relaxed, retro fit, its light wash, and its ease of style. I paired it with other classics, like this heritage floral printed backpack and of course, some Vans sneakers. The paint splatter print on the Vans is such a...

I had wished for better weather this past weekend to show off my Ella Moss vintage-inspired bikini from SwimSpot, but alas the clouds rolled on in and stayed by the time I could get out to the sand. No bother, I love dressing up a good bikini top for daytime strolling. My favorite street swimwear look is pairing a bikini top with high waisted shorts or skirt and an opened button down shirt (or...

fierce feline
Raising my glass to the most amazing and fun swimsuit I’ve ever worn! It’s not all that extravagant or frilly or fancy - it’s just the sexy high leg cut, the cool lattice back, and the daring puma print that radiated a fun, fierce spirit. I took it to all levels of becoming a cat for my second day at Coachella because of this raging puma suit from the undoubtedly cool brand,...

cheery florals
The floral print of this Lulu*s dress is like an “oil cloth of a Hawaiian grandmother dipped in a soft hip,” as told by Gill when I sought a fair and honest appraisal of my appearance from The Bumbys at the Guess x Coachella pool party. I can’t imagine the dress could’ve been described more poetically. The cheery floral print really is unique and wonderful, delicate and...

desert oasis
This is one of the first Lulu*s outfits I wore poolside in our adorable and fun little desert oasis. I chose these Lavand pants for its bold, tropical floral print that look like it was pulled straight from a desert paradise and a cute little bandeau top with a unique, chiffon bow to bring out the reds in the floral print. For my first time ever at Coachella, I picked a few of my Lulu*s looks...

in my element
They say that me in a maxi dress is me in my element, in case you didn’t realize my obsession. It’s what I feel most comfortable and confident in. For some people it’s shoes or a magical pair of jeans, but for me, a dress inspires me the instant I put it on like I’m ready to conquer something. I felt right in tune with this Gypsy05 spaghetti strap maxi dress, because of...

Happy Monday everyone! I just wanted to give a quick update that I’m in San Francisco for the week, visiting old friends, meeting new, and rediscovering my favorite food establishments.

heathered maxi
The 90’s halter neck silhouette of this maxi dress instantly pulled me in like a girl seeing diamonds (more specifically, Cartier). Yes, anything reminiscent of 90’s decade of fashion excites me and automatically impels me to take out my cash and take that baby home. This maxi is perfect in that its 90s vibe is modernized with a cutout back and high slit that’s so popular...

The clash of the prints — exciting, rule-breaking, and not for the faint-hearted. It’s not an easy trend to tread with so much room for mistakes and potential grimaces, but who cares! Isn’t that the point of fash-un? There’s no rules here and no one to truly dictate what is on point (please don’t put a hit on me Ms. Wintour), you know what I mean? So I always say...

It’s been a looong time since you’ve seen me in jeans, right? I’ve gotten to a level of love/hate with jeans, where I can love them for keeping my legs warm and covered but I hate that jeans are normally suffocating for my legs (maybe that’s my fault for getting skinnies, but they’re the only ones that look right on me).

I’ve completely fallen in love with wide-leg/palazzo pants for the same reason I love my dresses - they are flowy, elegant, and a slice of freedom for my legs. Wide-leg pants capture the perfect balance between dressy and casual, where they’re stylish for a nice brunch by the water and then comfortable and breezy for a nice stroll on the boardwalk afterwards. And that was just an...
