velvet and denim

I am completely aware that its scorching hot right now...and that most people wouldn't dare think about wearing velvet. but I am not most people lol. this is one of my favorite tops and I love it because its a body suit, it's velvet (one of the best materials on earth), and the color really pops! Check out the last time I wore it here. Makes me want to get my hair cut again in that style. Anywho I picked this up long ago at American Apparel and its been one of my summer favorites ever since. 

Body Suit: American Apparel | Shorts: Forever 21 | Shoes: Alexander Wang | Sunnies: Spitfire

BODY SUITS GALORE

I do love a good body suit. Check out this one and this one that I wear on a regular basis. The only thing is when you have to go to the bathroom it can be pretty..well....hectic to get the damn thing off if you really have to go asap! lol. I shot these photos in a cool hidden spot in Riverbank State Park. I've been going there a lot lately to sit by the water and watch the ducks.

denim and leopard

im getting really into denim. its so easy and matching is practically nonexistent. denim goes with just about everything...including denim. I picked these shorts up recently from Urban Outfitters. I like how they are almost "boyfriend" type shorts.

Florals and Flouncy Skirts

Here is another Spring Trends post for you! You can check out the first two of the series HERE and HERE. It seems bright colors and patterns will be a huge hit this Spring. They are already hitting the shelves as stores like H&M and Zara as well as Target! I scored this Prabal Gurung for Target top not too long ago and its still available online. Something about the brightness and pattern scream Spring!

Top: Prabal Gurung for Target | Skirt: ASOS | Shoes: Boutique 9 | Bag: Zara | Sunnies: Karen Walker

GET THE LOOK

 

For Spring 2013 its all about BRIGHT COLORS! This skirt has easily become one of my favorites. I love the cobalt color. BTW (cobalt is the hot color for Spring)...you heard it here first lol. I will be able to pair just about anything with this skirt including this stripe top or this sweatshirt. I love these Karen Walker sunnies too! Picked them up at the Karen Walker Fall 2013 Fashion Show!

 

Spring can't get here fast enough!
