One thing I love about LA is the reputation for casual streetwear. Speaking from a millennial's perspective, making everyday fashion less basic and more creative is a skill necessary to fashionistas here. Whether it's finding a new print we crave or bringing back an older style, these are some of the latest fashion trends I discovered in LA.
Trend #1: Palm-print fashion
(ie. workout sets, yoga leggings, bikinis, swimwear)

Trend #2: Branded streetwear from head to toe
(ie. street style with visible branding across all merchandise)

Trend #3: Snap-button culottes from the early 2000s
(ie. pants with contrast side panels, casual loose-fit bottoms)

Look #4: Accessorizing with clear frames
(ie. retro-round glasses, oversized glasses, clear lens)

Look Smarter, Instantly
Growing up with horrible, I mean, horrible eye sight, I dreaded wearing glasses. They're uncomfortable and I spend half my day pushing them up from my nose bridge. Plus, getting made fun of at school for being "four-eyes" puts the cherry on top. But ugh, seriously? The day my mom got me contacts, I (almost) never wore glasses in public again.
Fast forward to 2017, glasses became a fashion trend and they are more than a necessity for your eyes. Embracing all the fun shapes and sizes created for eyewear, I enjoy fashionable glasses way more and love adding it as a final touch to my look. AND - one way to look smarter? Wear glasses!😎 Bringing me to the main focus of today's post.... introducing 2 favorite pairs that make you look smarter, instantly:

The Scientist Look
Oversized frames that not only make your face smaller but your eyes bigger - now that's magic right there. You could literally pull off any look with these. They're sassy, bossy and definitely smart-assy. I'd do anything to replace these with my actual frames. Step up these oversized babies with a sleeveless top and a pair of dark-wash denim for a sophisticated vibe. Shop: http://rstyle.me/~a496r
The Retro Look
MVMT, a fast-growing lifestyle brand, released a collection featuring stylish glasses that went along with their watches. Thanks to MVMT, I got myself a pair of the Icon Clear glasses and the Sunset watch.
Love vintage vibes and I absolutely adore the retro round shape of Icon Clear. The slim frame makes the glasses look extra sleek. The Sunset watch is created with a rose-gold strap and an iridescent crystal case. These retro frames were styled with a maxi dress and an asymmetrical blouse. Dress up or down with these glasses and you still look super smart wherever you go! Shop: http://rstyle.me/~a49aL

4 Trendy Summer Outfit Ideas
Having lived on the east coast for over ten years, I only knew summers that were often hot and humid. Everything's changed when I moved to California. I discovered that the climate here is dry and summers come with heat waves and cooler temps in the morning and night. Truly the desert life - you could imagine me gluing to my water bottle 24/7! Aside from staying hydrated as my number 1 goal, I also prepared a few outfit ideas that fit into the trends this year.
The Easy Maxi
The maxi trend is a constant favorite with a comfortable fit and a lengthy silhouette. Easy to style with a flattering bodysuit or a fitted top to accentuate your figure. Add height to your look with a pair of embroidered boots and finish with minimal designed jewelry for an extra sparkle.

Metallic and Flares
Metallic and holographic pieces are a trend that continues to stand out. The 70s are one of my favorite decades with its funky and unique style. Flare pants and shimmery tops are an essential to the disco period. This metallic biker jacket is truly a statement piece to the look!

Stripes and Denim
Stripes are a huge trend this year. I've seen this pattern in every category and especially on blouses and dresses. Pairing a medium-wash denim over a striped piece gives a casual summer vibe with a pretty blue color. Adding circle sunnies to the mix allows the look to be more fun!

Smooth like Satin
One of my favorite ways to elevate a look is to add a satin piece to it. The smooth and glossy details instantly class up any outfit. I love a satin blouse paired with simple black pants and pom-pom sneakers. The fabric is soft enough to wear all day and also flattering due to its luxurious appeal.

TOBI: 3 Summer Essentials
With the temperature on the rise, I am excited to introduce summer pieces that are inspired by the California flair. Thanks to TOBI, these three fabulous essentials are my absolute go-to.
Now that summer is approaching, I am so excited to finally let go of long pants and leggings. With the humid, sticky weather everywhere, denim shorts are a must when it comes to fighting off the heat! Washed to a medium indigo shade, this pair of high-waist shorts are perfect to style for everyday and casual occasions. Detailed with a rolled hem, these denim shorts are finished with a five-pocket construction and zip fly.
With the ongoing 90s trend this year, one-piece bathing suits inspired by shows like Baywatch are emerging in fashion brands everywhere. While I do love a two-piece bikini set, I enjoy sitting and lounging in a one-piece that offers more coverage! This specific monokini features fun lace-up details at the side and a sexy scoop back and reaches down the lower back. If you ask me, this is definitely an essential piece I would recommend packing for your summer getaway!
