The Black Halo: Jackie

I am very honored to partner up with Black Halo again on their Jackie O anniversary event! I am a long time fan of Black Halo's modern cuts, sophisticated designs and tailored silhouettes. This time, the brand is releasing a limited edition inspired by the elegant former First Lady, Jackie O. These designs are composed of white lace and sequin pieces that are a glamorous update on gowns, jumpsuits, rompers and mini dresses that they currently house. Most importantly, the special nine styles in this collection celebrates the many incarnations "The Jackie" has taken over the years and how it has always been made for all women.

I am excited to style the Sequin Jackie O Romper, a spin on the classic Jackie design that draws all the attention to your legs. With an asymmetrical neckline and tab sleeves, this piece stands out with its timeless designs and intricate details.
I went ahead and put together a few of my favorite Jackie O pieces for you! The limited collection features elegant gowns, jumpsuits, rompers and mini dresses that are seriously gorgeous, statement pieces.

All About Maxi

It is finally warming up in LA and all I can think about is maxi season. I own a handful of clothes but nothing makes me happier than adding full-length dresses and skirts. I'm delighted to share with you a beautiful piece by Shein. This elegant maxi dress features a paisley pattern, fluttery silhouette and tulip hem. With a flattering surplice neckline, this delicate piece is crafted with a modern wrap design and a tie at the waist.

What I love about Shein is not only their competitive pricing but also their unique collection. You think Forever 21 is big? Think again. This brand carries the latest trends with the best deals on the market. Shein has daily promotions and discounts site wide. Their dress category is always my favorite to shop at. With regards to fit, I would size up because their clothes fit slightly tighter than normal. With a 25" waist and narrow shoulders, I fit into a small regularly but I would prefer a size medium at Shein.
I went ahead and put together a list of amazing maxis by Shein for you! The best part is, they are all under $40. These are perfect for any occassion this season. Happy maxi shopping!

Albion Fit: Island Hopper

Hands down, this is the cutest swimsuit I own. Think one-piece is boring? Think again. Designed with the Izabal palm print on top, bold black-and-white stripes on bottom and a sassy front cutout, this swimsuit features an open back tied together by two bows.

Thanks to Albion Fit, I am excited to share a full review on the look, fit and quality of this one-piece.

My favorite part about the Island Hopper is the beautiful, vibrant palm print. I feel like I'm on vacation running around in this suit. The fit is excellent and it wraps around my body like a glove. I wear a size XS which fits 31.5" on the bust,  24" on the waist and 34" on the hip. If you're a size 25 like me, you'll have no problem wearing the XS! 

With a flattering cutout at front, this swimsuit actually resembles more of a two-piece bikini. The cutout is positioned in the center of the torso while the bottom rises up to be a high-waist. The retro style reminds me of the vintage swimwear that were made famous by pinup models in the 50s. Plus, with an optional halter strap, I can decide to wear it alone like a bandeau top. The double bows at the back add extra dimension to the suit and the bottom is shaped with the perfect amount of peek.

Rose on Robe

Since the start of a new year, I've been setting small, measurable goals every week. While managing my own blog and social media content, I'm also helping a denim brand refocus their vision.

Having been my second week at my new job, I am already handling most of the marketing and promotions on the team. I enjoy carrying more responsibilities especially in areas that I'm good at! While I love learning new skills, I get way more excited about activities that I'm already familiar with and have plenty of ideas for. We have our seasonal lookbook shoots this week and next week. I'll be in charge of styling the shoot as well as the model's hair and makeup. This is a huge opportunity and one of the perks of working in a smaller brand. Not to mention, I also plan exclusive influencer events and represent public relations for the company.
Aside from work, I'm over-the-top excited to share this olive two-piece set and satin robe! Oh yes, you heard me right. I am now obsessed with wearing a robe outdoors! Just kidding, I haven't gotten that lazy yet. But I have been excited about this satin striped piece especially how it comes with a rose embroidery at the back. Going for a retro vibe with extra robe flow, I love wearing my red velvet booties to compliment the blue and olive green colors. I can't remember when this army-inspired green became so popular. I'm seeing this shade fade away this year and more so the blush and deeper reds are coming through. What colors do you see trending?

Blush

I love a cozy winter look that mixes faux fur and velvet for formal occasions. Crafted with a soft plushy fabric, this long-sleeve midi dress features a mock neck and a thigh-grazing front slit. It easily slips on with no zipper closure and creates an elegant silhouette. To match the pretty blush tone, I pull the look together with a shaggy vest and a pair of velvet perspex boots.
Speaking of special occasions, Oscar nominations are in! Well, almost. ABC is announcing the nominees tomorrow morning around 8AM Pacific Time. With the controversy of casting and awarding mainly white actors, the public blew up last year and started the trending hashtag #OscarSoWhite. Do you think things will be different this year? Regardless of the nominations, I hope that more minority actors, especially Asians, can take on more main roles and escape being typecast.

Winter Break

Choker tops are the hottest thing this winter and I can't get over how easy they are to style! Made with a soft knit fabric, this sweater top by Stylewe is not only super comfy but also warm enough to wear alone. Adding a school-girl spin to the look, I paired my solid top with an asymmetrical plaid skirt. Since we're talking winter attire here, I grabbed a mini red satchel for an added pop and finished the look with a pair of over-the-knee boots for a modern, trend-driven appeal.

Sunset is my favorite time to shoot photos - especially with darker outfits, the contrast from the sunlight allows the subject to really pop. I recommend checking out the beautiful hills in LA! I'm proud to say I've been to most of the parks and trails on the east side. The best part about living in SoCal is having the balance of both city and mountain views.

Shout out to my favorite reflective lens by DIFF, I wear these everywhere I go and they are easily to most versatile piece for all my outfits. Seriously!

Nature Baby


Such an exciting start to a new year. This month I got to see Conan, my favorite talk show host who I've been following for years. The entire set was hilarious and it was definitely a cool experience to see the Warner Bros Studios. The best part of the show was when I got picked in the audience for his New Year Resolutions bit (watch me here)! Conan was incredible as always and I loved every second of it.

Today I want to share with you this cozy look that's perfect to wear in a city like LA. With a pink satin bomber and a grey turtleneck dress, this cold-weather attire screams comfort all around. Two patch pockets and a longline silhouette make this sleeveless dress a closet must-have. Finished this outfit with my casual kicks for the ultimate laid-back vibe.

Missguided

I used to never appreciate the clean atmosphere and hydrating climate when I lived in Seattle. I was depressed from the gloomy weather and misty rain 9 months out of the year. I hardly ever utilized nature as a backdrop for any of my shoots. I often craved the rooftop scene with an easy, monochromatic theme for my channels. And here I am one year later, I find myself seeking every nature spot possible in LA, curating my feed to a more earthly vibe.
While I still love a clean, simple feed, I want to share photos with more depth and fill pictures with eye-catching details. I don't enjoy wearing that much black and white instead, I want to style outfits with more colors and contrast.

Sharing another set of self-portraits, I created this outfit by pairing a longline satin bomber with a creamy velvet dress. Structured the look with a leather circle bag and finished with reflective aviator shades.
