It was such an honor to be apart of the LookMazing x Macy’s Spring into Style event last Thursday in San Francisco. I had such an awesome time putting together outfits for customers, hanging with my fellow stylist bloggers Alexandra of SFShopGirl, Kathleen of KatWalkSF, the Lookmazing team and met some really amazing people. Thank you so much to those who came out to support. I had a wonderful time and I hope you all did as well! Thanks again Macy’s and LookMazing for such a fabulous, fun, and organized event! xo

I love my jeans but there’s nothing as comfortable as my jeggings! They’re stretchable, lightweight, and great for staying cool during the summer. Jeggings normally fit your body like a glove and will accentuate every single little bumps. It doesn’t matter if you’re a size XS or XL, there are some things better left to the imagination. So to avoid the world from knowing I have butt dimples seeing unnecessary things, I like to pick a longer or over-sized top to give the jeggings a more refined look. :)

I wore this outfit when I was running around last week but threw on the shiny metallic Jimmy Choos and added the bold necklace for some extra sparkle for the evening. Since I’m on the go a lot, it’s important that I can find pieces that can easily transition me from day to night. Go here, for more denimocracy or here to purchase the pants!

Jersey Girl on Valentine’s Day

This is an amazing comfortable jersey maxi skirt that I spotted on a trip to Target to check out the Prabal Gurung collection. I love how it hugs the hips and flares out at the bottom, accentuating your curves yet still flow and move with so much ease.

I actually came for these neon green beauties but if you have been to Target, you’d know that you never really leave with just one thing…

I hope you are having a lovely day today and that someone special has put a big smile on your face. If they didn’t, just punch them in the stomach when they walk by. :)

I really can’t believe how fast this year is flying by. It’s already mid February, and you know what that means. No, not the NBA All Stars! It’s Valentine’s Day! I don’t technically celebrate because I feel like it’s such a commercial gimmick to put pressure on both men and women and I don’t like how it singled out individuals who doesn’t have a significant other…so I never really expect Nate to waste money on flowers that are doubled the price or dinner that tripled. Instead, I prefer a nice quiet evening at home with a yummy home cook meal. Usually I don’t like to share my kitchen, but tonight we’ll cook together. Well, I’ll be cooking while he gets in the way and makes a mess. :)

Whatever you do and whoever you love, celebrate love in any form it comes! Enjoy it and celebrate it every day of the year!
