Utility Vest & Denim Outfit at Red Rock Canyon

Scott and I ventured to Vegas for a mini spring break trip and during our stay, we stopped by Red Rock Canyon which is a mere 17 miles west, a 25-30 minute drive from where we were staying on the Las Vegas strip.  The majestic red rock formations and nature surrounding us was a pleasant and peaceful removal from the bright lights, entertainment overload, and casino hustle and bustle of the strip. My 'mountainess', nature-seeking inspired look featured a utility vest, denim blouse, and wide-fedora hat. See the details below, and also check out the time I visited Zion National Park in Utah; I'll be posting about Red Rock Canyon soon.

Ballerina Skirt for Spring

I tapped into my ultra feminine side and ballerina days with this spring inspired outfit. Although the season officially turns into Spring this Friday, so cal has been experiencing unbelievably hot weather. To ease the frustration of the heat wave without walking around in a bikini to cool off, I styled this lightweight blouse with a colorful, a-line pleated skirt and pulled my hair up into a bun. I had a full day of events last Thursday wearing this outfit; a blogger lunch, store opening walk through, and two store events; so this look was perfect to take from day to night. See the outfit details below:

Sky Blue Pants for the Spring Season

I've been quite in the Spring mood since this weekend and wanted to wear some color to LA Fashion Council's Day 1 of Fall/Winter 2015 Collections yesterday, so I immediately thought of my sky blue wide pants. I am absolutely obsessed with this color and it got me right in an upbeat, bubbly mood. I kept my top neutral but mixed it up with texture by wearing a lace and immaculately pearl beaded collar and a simple cream blazer over the shoulders. The pants got an extra pop when I used my vibrant coral clutch, creating a marriage of complementary colors. Of course, the runway lights were bright, so couldn't be without my ZeroUV sunglasses. See deets for the look below and follow me on Instagram | Twitter | Facebook for LAFC fashion show and presentation updates today! My hair was also looking unstyled today and bless my stars the Glam Squad team was posted up at LAFC so I was able to get my hair fully styled as well as my make up touched up! Check out this amazing new mobile beauty company that's currently serving Los Angeles.

Tartan Remix

While checking out the RARE by Goodwill store in Anaheim, I stumbled across this classic tartan printed pleated skirt (totally Clueless vibes, just need a matching jacket) that I had to have, so I tried it on and it fit perfectly so I brought it home with me. It had an oversized safety pin at the bottom of the skirt giving it an edgier, 'punk-rock' look, so I styled it with a crop top and faux leather jacket. To complete my homage to the 90s grunge era with my twist on it, I had Dee of Swell Beauty do this awesome faux hawk braid ponytail hair style on me (check out the tutorial here) as well as add a red lip, and I wore a cherry necklace from Katy Perry's Eat Your Heart Out collection at Claire's and my fave silver mesh sunnies from ZeroUV.

Denim on Denim Style for 2015

I've gotten to wardrobe style a 'Denim on Denim' concept for a photo shoot,but don't think I've actually worn the trend myself. I knew I had to give it a try when I stumbled across this denim-style tencel top from Mango during their huge sale, and loved how it looked with my jeans when I had tried it on in the fitting room. Therefore, my go-to weekend look was this denim outfit with pops of black and red. Details below and don't forget to shop Mango's SALE! I got my eye on a few other jackets and tops!
